Trip Chowdhry, Global Equities Research: Apple joining Dow is extremely bad for Apple. Joining Dow takes the shine off the Apple and makes it a rotten Apple. Companies in Dow have historically symbolized companies which are boring, have zero innovation, complacent and are inching closer to irrelevance by the day, which is definitely not what Apple is all about. Apple should just refuse to join the Dow Index. -------------- My God! Can "trip" really be this dumb? I guess being included in the Dow means Apple will now abandon its entire successful business model and just become like the "others". The scarlet "D on the forehead This is true traditionally. My point is that Apple being added to the Dow will not change what Apple does. If investors somehow think that because Apple has been added to the Dow takes the "shine off" the Apple, but Apple continues to innovate, grow and increase earnings....then those investors who follow Trip's "logic" will miss the boat. This is not a percepion that has anything to do with reality. So, will investors that might otherwise have bought Apple now not buy it because it is in the Dow 30?

$MSFT and $INTC were down more than 50% each in the two years after they got included into the $DJIA?

Jobs market "too strong". Go figure :/ Strong? Hopefully Acid Trip Chowderhead will add to the unemployment rolls soon. And those making the argument that the Dow is where stocks go to die, that has been debunked. MSFT failed because Microsoft failed. Others have done great. AAPL will rise or fall on Apple's fundamentals, and of course the algos of the EO's. And pain. And FUD. And earnings beats and guidance. And the self-fulfilling prophecies of TA practitioners. And TV/Car/Plane/Ship/House/SexRobot.

This is not a percepion that has anything to do with reality. Agree completely. If investors haven't bought the stock after witnessing Apple's product innovation over the years and AAPL's growth over that same period, while it clearly has not been in the Dow 30, they don't need a reason to not buy it or they'd already own it. And it means they're not the investors we're looking for.

If the DJIA has "historically symbolized companies which are boring, have zero innovation, complacent and are inching closer to irrelevance by the day", then why does it correlate so well with the S&P500 over relatively long periods of time? Sheesh!

Looks pretty meaningful to WS that Apple is in the Dow.

Looks pretty meaningful to WS that Apple is in the Dow. Will this finally close the risk WS has had that Apple was constantly going under? It's been treated that way for the last 25 years.

MY WAG at this moment: AAPL $127.79 +$1.38 39,929,410 Volume has slowed. IMHO: this could be +-.20 cents to the close $127.59-127.99 WHAT SAY YOU? Artman for the win! Edit: Oh, well, close anyway...
