After VISA's Stock Split, The Most Important Company In The Dow Jones "Industrial" Average Is...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As if they did not already have their tentacles in everything else already, TBTF, and depositor-insured hedge fund Goldman Sachs is about to become the most heavily-weighted component of the Dow Jones "Industrial" Average. Following Visa's moments ago announced 4:1 stock split, Goldman will now represent just shy of 7.00% of the DJIA.

 

Imagine what fun they can have 'buying back' shares to 'pin' The Dow where they need it?

Oh, come on.  6.489% is nowhere near 7%.

I take it back.  6.489 rounds up to 6.49, which rounds up to 6.5 which rounds up to 7.0

I don't know why anyone pays attention to this price-weighted (garbage) index.

Why isn't GOOGLE in the DJIA? It should be there.  Or maybe also Berkshire Hathaway! Fine and deserving additions.

Due to its size the saying was "What's good for General Motors, is good for America."

And now?

We are so fucked.

One day my guillotine will be "splitting" financials as well.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

Guillotines always get "heads," and "tails."

"Goldman will now represent just shy of 7.00% of the DJIA"

If this global criminal enterprise we call a financial system is allowed to continue, they will eventually represent all of everything left.

Goldman encourages it's US tech companies to outsource to India and China.

How patriotic is that? They want your sons and daughters to fight for them.

They get a 2for.

1.) The very people they take jobs away from are the people they demand protect Goldman

2.) They make billions from wars.

Tyler's picture of the squid, squeezing the earth reminds me of the
Sherwin-Williams logo, "cover the earth", which is exactly what GS and the Squid has done...covered the planet with legions of their slime and scum.

I see 5 losers in the DOW.

McDonalds/ Walmart/ Coke/ Nike/ Home Depot

No real demand to support any of the above long term.
