The Dow, or more accurately the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) measures price in dollars. In this video, I explain the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 and what exactly a point on each is worth.

@taggerinc2652 4 года назад

He's taking the numbers from the actual indexes. Dow is currently valued at around 26000 pts and the S&P around 3100 points. But his computations are incorrect and having nothing to do with the actual value of a point on either index.

@dashawalrath2057 5 лет назад

@sethjones4916 4 года назад

So, what indexes would be more responsive to the entire stock market, rather than to just a few great companies? I'm thinking that those indexes would be great investments during market lows, since they will move more on the way back up, giving you a greater bang for your buck. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thx for sharing...However, I'm kinda of confused regarding your explanation of Dow index where you used market cap of $6.2T and divided into the index of 23000. I thought Dow is based on price index and not market cap.....Can you shed some light????

@junfabi1 5 лет назад

Ok good ..now try explaining that to an eighth grader?

@Vajra1021 4 года назад

He got the 6.2T market cap using the Price weighted index (not simple sum of component prices)

@tomworrall190 2 года назад

@@Vajra1021 And how do you do that? Do you take the actual market cap and scale it up or down based on its share price? Why not just add up all the share prices and divide by current index value? The share prices weight themselves.

Sorry but gow did you determine the #s for the divisors? 23,000 for the DOW and 2,560 for S&P500?

@AmericanMilitary100 6 часов назад

Fascinating!

@cdrom16 6 лет назад

Where do you get the "Divisor" From?

@KyngD469 5 лет назад

Find the value of 1 point. And the market price of the dow. Eg. 1 point is 270,000,000 and the market cap is 62Trillion. So then you say 6,200,000,000,000/270,000,000. Which gives you roughly 23,000

@EyeZick1 4 года назад

I want to say Ni Tian is slightly incorrect here but I trying to understand it myself. I think the value of 1 point at the time this video was recorded is actually $270M the divisor is the total number of points in the DOW when this video was recorded. I think...

Too much faith is put into these numbers! Not many people realize that the crash of 1929 was only 150 pts. even today if it goes into freefall(down 1,000 or more pts.) the only way to stop it is to shut down the market.

@taggerinc2652 4 года назад

Skip to 3:55 to see the computations he uses for the dow and 5:45 for the S&P 500. He isn't even correct. The computation he uses doesn't tell you what one point on either index is worth. It's way more complicated than that. To see the actual computation go here: www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/sp500calculation.asp

The S&P, The Nasdaq, The Russel, The Dow Jones, SPY & TSLA etc. They've all failed since the beginning of 2022. The S&P lost about 13-14 percent and more since the beginning of the year. And Because of that there are a lot of opportunities that you can take if you are willing to profit from the market.
