Today we look at the Dow Jones Industrial Average, highlighting its seven-day winning streak. However, we quickly shift focus to the shortcomings of the Dow as an index, emphasizing its reliance on stock price rather than market capitalization. We contrast this with the S&P 500, explaining how market cap plays a crucial role in determining index movements. Through examples like Berkshire Hathaway and Cisco versus Disney, we illustrate how stock price can be misleading in assessing a company's value. Our aim is to educate viewers on the importance of understanding market indices and avoiding common misconceptions, ultimately empowering them to make informed investment decisions.
