Keeping Up With the Dow Joneses
Keywords:
Lahart says adjusting for inflation the DJIA average in early March 2013 would be about 12,900 instead of 14,254, much less than it was in Oct 9, 2007 peak. If dividends are reinvested the Dow would be at 16,600. With inflation and dividends taken together the Dow would be around 15,000. Lahart does not cite his source. Browning in a separate piece says the DJIA adjusted for dividends, inflation and taxes, according to Bespoke Investment calculations is still below the 2000 level in 1994 dollars, and provides a different view.
The Dow Jones Industrial Averages above 14,000 in 2013 and the role of component stocks in the surge
03/05/2013
The DJIA is a price weighted average in comparison to the S&P 500 . This gives stocks such as IBM, Caterpillar, 3M, Chevron, a large role in the surge. IBM at $206 alone added about 1000 points out of a 7000 point surge and Caterpillar about 500 points. By comparison other stocks such as J&J have a smaller role. Stocks such as Bank of America that show a sharp climb make up only a small part of the surge.

A Federal Reserve sponsored bull market in the U.S.
09/24/2009
With quantitative easing (QE), the Fed creating money to buy Treasury bonds at a fast pace, and with inflation "exceptionally low" in the Fed's words, there is considerable liquidity to support the surge in stocks. But this could change quickly. Investors would benefit from caution.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
