Thomas H. Kee Jr.: Lack of growth in the Dow reaches dire stage
Given what we all have known about the DJIA in the past, and what we know about its composition today, we can still agree that the companies that comprise the index are solid companies that are likely to withstand major economic catastrophe, but at a certain point, valuation must come into play. In this specific instance, it is a concern.
