Does anyone know where I can find a list that shows the quantity of each stock in Dow index?
I know the list of 30 stocks, but I am looking for how many shares of each individual stock.
All the sites I have looked up so far just give the the name, ticker symbol and quote.
The DJIA is a price-weighted index, meaning that it is not calculated by changing the number of shares of each stock. This is in contrast with the S&P500, which is market cap-weighted.
In the DJIA, the prices of the 30 component stocks are added and then divided by something called the Dow divisor, which is constantly adjusted. The divisor is in place to buffer for the effects of price changes from events like splits or dividends. The divisor is currently 0.132319125.

What blue-chip stocks should I buy now with my new CFDs (Contracts for difference) account, and why? Apple?
I should have my live CFD’s account active, with money in it within 2 hours and I am just wondering if its a good idea to buy Apple, Inc and go long with CFD’s on the stock right with all this good news about their iPad? Also, what other stocks could I buy that seem promising to go either long or short? Please, I really need your help as this is going to be my first official stocks investments. Thanks.
So you are new to the investment world and have selected a margin product to trade? You are very brave me says…
I would steer away from hyper-popular stocks like Apple or Google as they are pure sentiment plays and don’t really trade on their P/E. Stick to real companies that produce tangible products that we consume on a daily basis like oil and retail – you are less likely to have nasty surprises there.

How to Make Money With Penny Stocks
ome people have the opinion that you can’t really make much money with penny stocks, (otherwise known as undervalued stocks). They say that the risks are just to great for anyone to ever really benefit from them.
It’s sometimes referred to as gambling.
It’s actually quite the opposite.
The people who make these statements just have no real clue how to really make money with penny stocks. They think they can invest in them like they invest in their longer term investments. That doesn’t apply here and simply never will. They’re missing out on something great that can really make them a lot of moolah.
First things first, what you have to learn to do is to control the risk involved when you try to make money with penny stocks. One way that I do this is by looking at patterns in the prices of several different stocks. This is very helpful because I can see what the stocks normally bottom out at and when they normally peak. With this information I can buy and sell at the right time and make some serious profits with little to no risk involved, generally speaking.
When I do this, I always make sure to only invest in stocks that have a good trade volume. The higher the trade volume, the less risk is involved in the trade. I stick with stocks that have about 100,000 weekly trades. These stocks normally stick to the patterns they have very well. They are the stocks that I make the most money on. I have investing in stocks with less trades but never with any real success.
Always remember, you can make money with penny stocks. It is all about having good tools, using your head and of course, determination. It’s not a get rich quick scheme, although you can get a great return on your investment. If you really want to make good money on the stock market and you are the type of person that doesn’t give up, you can do really well!
Thank you for reading and best of luck to you!
