What do i invest in in the stock market?
（I have to do a school project and invest in 10 things in the Dow Jones Index. I want to invest in things that ultimately rise higher and higher and dont drop too much. Gain not lost. I have to be one of the top five sellers. IT HAS TO BE IN THE DOW JONES INDEX）
Answer：
That pretty-well limits things then doesn’t it? First, the Dow Jones Indexes were essentially three: Industrials, Transportation, and Utilities. Most folks ignore the latter two these days, so I’ll stick with the Industrials. The whole bunch is available in an exchange traded fund (ETF) called Diamonds, or DIA. In the link below there is a list (scroll down) of the current “top 10 holdings”–these became more valuable than the others because of either growing bigger than the others, or, the very thing that averages are good for, the weaker ones have gotten smaller. If you will notice the note below the list, the top ten stocks represent almost half the value of the set of 30 companies. You could do worse. Good luck.
