The lecture in Economics today was about the stock market, and the professor opened with explaining the DOW. He told the class that there's 50 corporations stocks' that are evaluated. He was wrong, I know because I own 28 of the 30. TFM.

      thats not the issue… how retarded is the university to have a professor that does not how many companies compose the DOW.

    Why would you own 28 out of the 30 stocks on the DOW? Good luck making a high return, GDI.

      If the money is placed in an IRA and he is looking for long term stability and capital appreciation then it is a good move. Idk the exact # but more than half the DOW pays a dividend and probably all but 1 of those companies will be around when we retire in like 20 years. It’s not the dumbest investment decision, but it’s not the smartest either.

    Without getting into a detailed debate with you, I just want to say I hope you’re lying because this would be an incredibly awful investment strategy.

  3. Wrong.

    If this was Dr. Rush’s class, he clearly stated that the DOW was 30 corporations. You should probablly pay attention and stop pretending like you own 28 of them.

    If you were going to own 28 of 30 stocks in an index, why in the hell would not just put all that money into an index fund (either a mutual fund or ETF) and let someone manage it for you? Wow. If your dad taught you to invest this way, then he is broke and there is no way that you can afford a fraternity bill and tuition. Unless of course, you have student loans…… which we all know is NF

    TFM or NF it doesn’t matter. You just bragged how much money you lose all the time
