It's best to follow the SP500 rather than the Dow. The former is much more representative of the whole market. And it's best to follow market movement in percentage rather than points. Points inflate over time as the nominal value of the market indexes climb.



I can't wait for the SP500 to replace the Dow in news reporting.
