Há por ai um grafico atualizado ?

here are 20 things you may not have known about the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Feel free to toss them around to impress your friends:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened at 40.96 on May 26, 1896

Components of the index are determined by Dow Jones

Indexes a division of the CME Group

Prior to today the record closing high was 14,164 on October 9, 2007

It took 1,974 days for the Dow to make a new record high

From the 2007 peak to March 9, 2009, the Dow fell 54% to 6,574

IBM (IBM) has added 684 points to the Dow since Oct '07

The Dow is price weighted. Each $1 move in the stock price of a component moves the Dow by 7.68 points (Note: this number changes depending on the price of stocks added or removed from the index)

Alcoa (AA) has fallen 80% and taken 284 points over the same period

Consumer Staples stocks have been the strongest sector since the old high. The Consumer Staple Select Sect SPDR (XLP) has gained 38%

Investors who bought financials at the top have a long way to go before they see new highs. The Financial Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) is still down 50% since October 2007

Purists argue that the Dow is only at record highs on a non-inflation adjusted ("nominal") basis

Taking inflation into account the Dow needs to trade 11% higher to 15,840 before setting a new record

In 2007 dollars, the Dow is trading at the equivalent of 12,840

There are 30 stocks in the Dow, up from 12 when the index was created

General Electric (GE) has been in the Dow since 1907

The newest Dow component is UnitedHealth Group (UNH) which was added on September 24, 2012 to replace Kraft (KRFT)

Apple (AAPL) was reportedly being considered for inclusion in the Dow instead of UNH

Had Apple replaced Kraft, it's possible the Dow would be trading roughly 2,000 points lower due to $266 decline in Apple shares

On November 1, 1999 Dow Jones & Co replaced 4 of the 30 companies in the index. Union Carbide, Chevron (CVX), Goodyear Tire (GT) and Sears (SHLD) were replaced by SBC Communications (now AT&T) Home Depot (HD), Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT)

Of the four additions, only Home Depot is higher than where it was trading in November 1999. HD has gained 45%. The other 3 have lost an average of 42%.

Elias Escreveu:Dow Jones acima dos 14200 pela primeira vez na sua história!

Qual era o Interday high anterior? Só encontro de fecho!!

EDIT: Já descobri "14,198.10 hit on October 9, 2007"

Brutal !

Dow Jones acima dos 14200 pela primeira vez na sua história!

Fecho de hoje = 14127.82
Fecho mais alto de sempre = 14164.50 (9-Out-2007)

Daqui a pouco é o SP500. Mas ainda há quem pense na correcção!

Marco Martins Escreveu:Incrível... mesmo com tanta incerteza nos mercados...

Hum... mas alguma vez houve certezas em contexto de mercados?

Creio que sim.
Se tiveres uma boa empresa para um prazo relativamente longo e a conseguires agarrar a um preço barato, terás a certeza de que estás num bom negócio, independentemente das rebelias, rumores, péssimismos, rancores, fernezins do dia a dia do trading.
Já me aconteceu ter essa certeza e ela não ser refutada.

Digo mais, até mesmo após a minha venda, essa empresa continuou a subir muito para lá da minha venda. Foi uma boa sensação.
Mas como diz Buffett, vale mais estar mais ou menos certo, do que exactamente errado...!!

Elias Escreveu:O Dow Jones está hoje nos 14100, a apenas 65 pontos do seu fecho mais alto de sempre (14165).

Ontem foi aos 14147.

De qualquer forma convém notar que o fecho semanal mais alto de sempre foi nos 14093 - e esse pode vir a ser superado ainda hoje.

Incrível... mesmo com tanta incerteza nos mercados...

O Dow Jones está hoje nos 14100, a apenas 65 pontos do seu fecho mais alto de sempre (14165).

Ontem foi aos 14147.

De qualquer forma convém notar que o fecho semanal mais alto de sempre foi nos 14093 - e esse pode vir a ser superado ainda hoje.

Pela 1ª vez desde 2007.

Acabou de tocar nos 14000.

O Dow Jones está agora a 13967 - faltam menos de 200 pontos (1,5%) para atingir o seu valor mais alto de sempre, em fecho: 14164

Com a queda de hoje a correcção no DOW tem agora uma amplitude de 1100 pontos.

g.a.

A LTA é ainda 'tentative', porque o terceiro toque carece de confirmação.

Notar que a correcção já superou os 900 pontos (a correcção de Maio chegou aos 1300; a do Verão do ano passado superou os 2000).

O ressalto acontecerá quando menos se espera...

Elias Escreveu:Dow Jones cai 300 pontos - há um ano que não se registava uma queda desta magnitude.

Já cota abaixo da mm200.

A coisa não está bonita não

Dow Jones cai 300 pontos - há um ano que não se registava uma queda desta magnitude.

Já cota abaixo da mm200.

Entrei ontem do DJI. Entrei junto ao suporte que se situa na casa dos 13272 pontos. Teve uma boa reacção.

Dow Changes: For Individual Stocks, It Hardly Matters
By Chris Nichols – 22 minutes ago

Apple (AAPL) didn't make the cut, but Unitedhealth Group (UNH) did. The cut here is for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the 116-year-old index that will see the insurance company join its 30-stock ranks and Kraft (KFT), which is splitting in two, taken out.

For shareholders of these companies, it's basically a crap shoot as to what happens next, if the past few changes are any indication of what direction the two stocks will head. Going back to 2004 and including Friday's announcement, the Dow has brought in nine new members, and of course removed the same number. But if you're at all tempted to gauge whether over the longer term being added or subtracted matters one way or the other, don't expect any guarantees.

The last few years, it should be said, have been chaotic for some of the Dow stocks -- in particular, names like AIG (AIG), GM (GM) and Citigroup (C), whose government aid following the financial crisis de-normalized their ownership structure. That out of the way, let's start by looking at the most recent additions, using historical data from FactSet.

Some of Each
AIG joined the Dow on April 8, 2004, and left Sept. 22, 2008. During that time, it had a cumulative return of negative 22%. For most of its history with the index, AIG actually was up, but that started to change for the worse in December 2007, and by Jan. 30, 2008, it was in the red for the rest of its run.

The same day AIG became a member, Pfizer (PFE) and Verizon (VZ) also joined the Dow, and they remain so today. Since then, the drug maker has slipped 2.6%, while the phone company has more than doubled, gaining 107%.

For nearly four more years, the Dow was unchanged, until Feb. 19, 2008, when Bank of America (BAC) and Chevron (CVX) got the call. They've gone in opposite directions. The bank, one of the most actively traded stocks in the U.S., has slumped 75.8%, while the oil producer has risen 60.2%.

Kraft, which will officially exit the Dow next Friday, was the replacement for AIG in September of that year. It's done fine while part of the index, climbing 39.9%.

The newest Dow members, networker Cisco (CSCO) and insurance seller Travelers (TRV), have been in since June 8, 2009. Cisco is right around where it was then, up 0.3% in the past three-plus years, though Travelers has had a much better run, advancing 70.5%.

So that puts the count at five gainers and three decliners for those added to the Dow in the last eight years, though Cisco barely makes it into the win column.

Hitting the Road
What about leaving the Dow -- is that good or bad? Again, it's a mixed showing.
International Paper (IP) got the hook on April 8, 2004, and since then it's up 10.7%. Kodak (EKDKQ) left the same day, and it's been crushed, falling 99% and ending up in Chapter 11.

The stocks that exited in February 2008, Honeywell (HON) and Altria (MO), have been better. The technology and manufacturing company has risen 23.7%, while the tobacco maker has gained 102.4%.

Since AIG left in 2008, it's shed another 56.5%. Car maker GM has dropped 31.2% following its removal from the Dow in June 2009, and the company that left on the same day, financial-services firm Citigroup, has ticked up 0.9%.
AT&T (T) left the index in April 2004, but we're going to keep it out of today's discussion. That's because it was bought in 2005 by fellow Dow component SBC, which then changed its name to AT&T.

Of the departed (minus AT&T), there are four winners -- with Citi making like Cisco and collecting a slight gain -- and three losers. The total count of the changes, then, is nine up (two barely, but we'll stick with the letter of the law), six down and one that we're leaving out of consideration.

Remember, the keepers of the Dow are trying to pick a set of companies that reflect the economy, and by adding Unitedhealth, they're giving a nod to the growing role of the medical industry in the U.S. Their job isn't to make a call on whether a stock is going to go up or down by its inclusion in or exclusion from the index. For most of the Dow's existence, Wall Street Journal editors chose the components. Now, it's overseen by the managing editor of the WSJ, the head of Dow Jones Indexes research and the head of CME Group research.

At the moment, industrials make up 20.7% of the index by sector allocation, with technology next at just under 17%. Basic materials is the lowest, at 3.45%.

For a broader list of the Dow over time, The Wall Street Journal has a good list of the recent changes here: The Ins and Outs of the Dow.

Parece que a Apple ficou a chuchar no dedo...

Estava a ouvir e fiquei admirado como é que deixaram a Apple a ver navios...

Suspeito que tenha a ver com o facto de a Apple não querer fazer stock split.
