3 Dow components are already trading as worthless components. BAC, GM and C. Alcoa, GE, AMEX, INTC have little effect also because of there low value. For this index to continue to crash Exxon, Chevron, IBM, AT&T, J&J, Dupont, Cat, 3M, Hewlett, etc. will have to crash also. Last time i checked people still need stuff.
