You might not be aware of this, but the components of the DJIA have changed 6 times since you left. It looked like this originally:
Alcoa [*] AlliedSignal American Express AT&T Boeing Caterpillar [*] Citigroup Coca-Cola Dupont [*] Kodak Exxon GE [*] GM HP Home Depot Intel IBM [*] International Paper Johnson & Johnson JP Morgan McDonalds Merck Microsoft 3M [*] Philip Morris Procter & Gamble [*] SBC Communications United Technologies Wal-Mart Walt Disney
Today it includes
Bank of America Chevron Cisco Kraft Pfizer Travelers Verizon
7/30 is a big turnover for your yardstick. Citigroup was added in late 1999 when they absorbed Travelers Insurance; now that they spun them back out, Travellers has returned and Citigroup is out; so maybe that's really just 6/30 ...
