Weak Transports Issue A Warning For The Dow Jones Industrial Average

... not just planes. I can tell you also that many (not all) North American railroads are also under pressure. And with rare exceptions, trucking companies suffered through a miserable March. Related story: Is This the Most Overvalued Stock Market in History. So if the real economy is slowing, maybe that’s a harbinger of a rough road ahead for stocks. Is the economy slowing? GDPNow, a forecasting model used by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, thinks so. Take a look …. The GDPNow model forecast for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter of 2017 was 0.9% on March 16. Holy moly, that’s pathetic. Tax cuts will only get you so far. To support the kind of run-up we’ve seen in the Dow and S&P 500 so far, at some point, we’ll need growth in both the economy and earnings. So the Transports may indeed have good reason to cry a warning. And ...

4 Facts You Never Knew About The Dow Jones

... with overall valuation. The Averages Committee has looked at this question in the past, and its decision not to switch to a market-cap weighting system centered on the fact that it wouldn't have made a big difference in the Dow's overall returns. Indeed, the price-weighted system would have outperformed a theoretical market cap-weighted Dow, and that seemed compelling enough to leave the average alone. 4. Turnover in the Dow has picked up dramatically in the past 10 years. Companies that join the Dow tend to stay in the Dow, and many believe that the Dow is too slow to adapt to changing times in the stock market. In general, the Dow has resisted change for change's sake, instead waiting for a reason that it finds either compelling or unavoidable. Yet the Averages Committee has been increasingly responsive to the need to adapt. Already since 2008, the Dow has replaced 10 components, which is more changes than it made from 1941 to 1980. Finding the right balance between consistency and ...

... began to tumble, shaving 1,955 points over 11 trading days. Again, Jadeja said those moves were predicted by looking at repeating cycles. Below is a “time windows” chart of the Dow industrials DJIA, -1.14%   that he uses. This chart shows market movements, which happen in between those big blue bands. This chart shows the nine times the Dow entered that “time window” and then declined — moves foreseen by Jadeja using his method. Sandy Jadeja. The technical strategist said investors can use his system to trade any instrument they like, as long as they can go short (such as with a futures contract, or bearish put options on an index or short exchange-traded funds. A put option is a type of derivative that confers an owner the right to sell an asset at an agreed upon price and date.). The 84-year cycle.

Dow Jones Tries A Millennial Finance Site, Moneyish

... and learning,” Shar said. Digiday Daily Newsletter. Sign Up. Moneyish is also the second millennial-focused digital property Dow Jones has stood up in the past four months, and the third overall (it launched a slightly more specialized property, Barron’s Advisor Center, last October). The other one, Barron’s Next, a kind of stock market and investment explainer site, arrived last fall, and it’s already profitable, though with some caveats: Its editorial staff is very small, and a lot of the audience, advertising and production duties are spread across DJMG teams. Moneyish, which has a core staff of five, will do the same. It will avail itself of DJMG resources, like its video and audience teams; it will also regularly call in to an established bullpen of freelance contributors. It’s also going to get a running start on social media: @Moneyish was built out of Market Watch’s Personal Finance handle, which has over 91,000 followers. But there’s one key way that Moneyish will stand apart. Unlike plenty of other vertical sites launched recently by established publishers, including its money-minded peers, Moneyish isn’t going to live inside a massive domain, ...

The Dow Jones Surpassed 21,000—but Who Cares

... 21,000. Newspapers made little mention of seeing the psychological mark crumble beneath the power of the bull market. And Wall Street floor traders failed to don hats that read "Dow 21,000.". A screen shows the Dow Jones Industrial Average soon after the market opened on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York, March 1. Brendan Mc Dermid/Reuters. Where was all the hoopla that we saw when the Dow hit 20,000 for the first time ever on Jan. 25. The answer is simple: Dow 21,000 simply doesn't have as nice a ring to it. Investors, be they the institutional type, floor traders on the NYSE, or even the average Joe and Jane sitting on their couch at home, are all susceptible to allowing their emotions to get the better of them. In similar fashion, they're also susceptible to pedestaling completely arbitrary values on major U. S. indexes. For example, Dow 20,000 was a neat, round figure ...

Caterpillar ( CAT ), which could be a big beneficiary of any new funding to build roads, bridges and a wall on the Mexican border, was down 3%. "[Trump's] health care proposal appears to be losing momentum faster than most NCAA brackets," Ablin quipped, adding that some Republicans in Congress are "loath to racking up more debt" to pay for stimulus.

30 Years Of Dow Jones Musical Chairs

... and I realized pretty quickly I had some research to do to see if their arguments had more merit than I would have liked. For example, a couple folks listed Eastman Kodak Company (a member of the 1987 list ) as evidence that refusing to sell is a surefire way to lose money. I decided to dig a little deeper looking at that list to see what other conclusions could be drawn. My first observation is a shout-out to indexers. In March 1987, the Dow traded at approximately 2,250. ( image credit ). Today, we can tack a zero onto that number as the Dow hovers around 22,000. Wow. I'm unsure when the first ETF tracking the Dow index went live, but I did find that DIA wasn't launched until 1998. Nevertheless, those who were able to purchase the Dow index in some shape or form in March of 1987 would be way over 10 x richer (including dividends) today. I am partially an indexer myself - fully in my 401(k) plans, so check one box for those sane folks who index. The second observation, was that some businesses on the 1987 list that got booted off in the interim remain household names ...
