The Dow Changes
So how did the stock market do today? Although a seemingly simple
question, most people refer to a stock market index to answer that
question. Today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), one of the oldest stock market indices in the U.S., announced that it would change its components.
As of next Friday, Alcoa, Hewlett-Packard, and Bank of America will be
dropped from the DJIA and Nike, Visa, and Goldman Sachs will be added to
the index.
