Dow Changes Since Last Time at 10,000

With the Dow now below 10,000, and even 9,800 at this point (just before 11 a.m. ET), we looked back at how the index members have fared since the last time the Dow was below 10,000 on October 29th, 2004.

As shown, AIG, GM, C, HD, AXP, AA, GE and MMM have all caused the Dow to lose 100 points or more.  AIG is by far the worst, followed by GM and Citi.  The stock that impacted the Dow on the upside the most since 10/04 was MO, which was removed from the index back in February!  MCD, XOM and HPQ have generated the most upside points for the Dow since it was last below 10,000.

This maybe once in a life time opportunity for many people
to buy shares on these big companies. Imagine with the same money, now I can buy 10 shares or more instead of just 1 share not that long ago.
