Makes sense to me remo - stops above 340 as that's a strong area too.

Im gonna be shorting the dow when it hits 15310 .This is the level for today only.
Thats where the trend line back test will be for today.This level is also the 61.8 fib level from the high to the recent low so should be resistance as well. So theres 2 levels of resistance close together so worth a short on first attempt with a 40 point stop during market hours only.
The key to beating the dow is patients and NOT over trading. Its best to wait for key levels when trading the dow as its not a forgiving index if your day trading.

With Alcoa Out, Dow Gets a New Earnings Pacesetter

Alcoa is one of the ones heading out, and Visa and Nike (both terrific performers, especially when compared to Alcoa! are some of those coming in)

Not sure about about the adjustments and price weighing, but should be interesting!

(It proves by design, that these indicies are 'made' to rise over time, with the constant elimnation of the weak - the FTSE is another if you look at the stocks that comprised the UK index say, 10, 20 years ago).
