Just put the QQQ in the Dow already. Hell just put BETZ is the Dow, the nation is turning into a bunch of degenerate gamblers anway,
Lol just lol @ a price weighted index. Hard to believe something so stupid persists in 2020, but it remains the most quoted index... wow!
Apples weight is going from 13% to around 3% which is a significant drop. Maybe they added these more heavy weighted stocks to compensate for apples split? I doubt it but you never know.
It was due to Apple splitting its stock So basically none of these changes would have taken place if it were not for apple splitting its shares. S&P Dow Jones said the changes were “prompted” by Apple Inc.’s AAPL, +1.19% decision for a 4-for-1 stock split, which will reduce the index’s tech-sector weighting. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/e...of-apple-stock-split-2020-08-24?mod=home-page
%% LOL; only in the'' news'' is it the most quoted index.Some equal weight ETFs/indexes tend to underperform also.30 stocks picked by a news group-------what could possibly go wrong??''
What does it really mean for the issues leaving? They become less hedge-able with an index future? All three are down on the news, but why? What really changed for them?
