While I have also asserted that stock splits are the market\u2019s equivalent of making change, say two fives for a ten-dollar bill, they have a profound effect on a price weighted average like INDU.&nbsp; WMT was consigning itself to cutting its relevance in INDU by 2\/3.&nbsp; That gave it a similar relevance to Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), which then became superfluous.&nbsp; In a happy coincidence, it turned out that AMZN sported a price similar to WMT, so the keepers of the average were able to kick out WBA and insert AMZN, keeping things relatively hunky-dory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But bear this in mind: as a broad market measure, a 30-stock average is no match for a 500-stock index.&nbsp; And the amounts of money indexed to each reflects that.&nbsp; DIA, the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF, has total assets of about $33.4 billion, while its sister product, the SPDR S&amp;P500 ETF Trust (SPY) has about 15X the assets.&nbsp; That preference for SPX over INDU doesn\u2019t reflect the multitude of other ways that money indexed to SPX, including the similarly sized Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (VOO), and many billions or even trillions residing in passively managed pension and mutual funds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The markets have spoken.\u00a0 INDU is widely reported and remains an important market measure for many.\u00a0 But serious investors and active traders know that SPX is the far more relevant metric.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the &#8220;bigger&#8221; pieces of news this morning is that Amazon (AMZN) has joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU).\u00a0I used quotation marks in the preceding sentence because even though it is indeed noteworthy that a key megacap technology stock has joined a flagship market measuring tool, the significance is considerably less than one might imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[145,147,8,12,153,148,7],"tags":[332,805],"contributors-categories":[149],"class_list":["post-10669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ibkr-market-insights","category-north-america","category-region","category-securities","category-stocks","category-text-articles","category-traders-insight","tag-amazon","tag-dow-jones","contributors-categories-interactive-brokers"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
