The DJIA is an antique, using a price-weighted index that overweights the price movements of stocks that happen to have high prices (and underweights low-priced stocks). These days, because the DJIA is still popular for historical reasons, the main criteria for adding stocks is making sure it roughly follows the S&P500 index, a better metric for the performance of large US stocks. | |
