I remember someone started a contest to pick the year-end Dow level. The thread was here: http://www.einvesting.com/viewtopic.php?t=3570
but it seems locked now. I thought I'd start a new thread so us peeps can weigh in with our usual witty banter.
As we approach the end of the year, My 12250 figure looks to be right on target. If GOOG swings to 500+, it should carry the Dow with it to a certain extent, even if the GOOG gain is short-lived. However, i heard predictions today of a SLOW shopping season forecast. |

| Shopping at places like Walmart might be slow, but online shopping will be huge. |

How do you figure Google's share price as having an impact the Dow? |

Psycholgical. GOOG is the hottest stock to watch right now. It can't help but have an impact, at least short-term. I think the Dow (and broader markets) would have declined more today if not for Google's good news. Caterpillar disappointed, Sandisk was down 20%, and AMD continues its slide, not to mention BRCM down 5%. It was a pretty ugly day except for GOOG, which seemed to buoy the market a little. |

But Google isn't a Dow component... Caterpillar is, and if not for that 15% haircut the Dow would have had a very nice day. Google might affect the S&P 500 and Nasdaq (its a component of both of those indices), but those are hundreds of companies so anything Google does has a much smaller impact overall as compared to the Dow Industrials, which are only 30 stocks. |

The original post on Dow stirred strong emotions both positively and negatively. The point is made. Whilst advocates of Dow are assured of its commitment to safety and ethical responsibility, critics claim the exact opposite. In the background meantime lurks Bhopal almost like a character from myth.
That Dow has a reputation problem must be admitted. A quick check of the Internet reveals a number of sites that list some of Dow’s issues. Here is a list of 20 areas of concern as Dow fights off it reputation, of which Agent Orange must figure at the top:
1. Agent Orange/Napalm — The toxic herbicide and jellied gasoline used in Vietnam created horrors for young and old alike — and an uproar back home that forced Dow to rethink its public relations strategy.
2. Rocky Flats — The top secret Colorado site managed by Dow Chemical from 1952 to 1975 remains an environmental nightmare for the Denver area.
3. Body burden — In March 2001, the Centers for Disease Control reported that most people in the United States carry detectable levels of plastics, pesticides and heavy metals in their blood and urine.
4. 2,4-D — An herbicide produced by Dow Chemical, 2,4-D is still in used for killing lawn weeds, crop weeds and range weeds, and along utility company rights-of way and railroad tracks. One of the key ingredients in Agent Orange, the toxic defoliant used in Vietnam, 2,4-D is the most widely used herbicide in the world.
