America's favorite stock index is misleading investors
Original: America’s favorite index is misleading investors about the state of the stock market
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, America's best-known stock index, is giving investors a distorted picture of the market, according to a MarketWatch commentary. Because the Dow is price-weighted, it overweights high-priced shares and ignores most of the US market, and its recent performance may not reflect what is happening across the broader stock market.
Why now: Investors are questioning whether the Dow's gains accurately reflect the broader stock market's health.
