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.

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.
