DJ Index is difficult to play as there are big companies re-parking their funds in the DJ components companies.

Look at broader index they are falling sharply.
I would say Dow has many stocks that benefit from strong economy..it is unusual strong...

Nasdaq will hit fair value only in 10000-12000 zone.

If you look at the whole US market the average stock will not do well due to higher cost of debt servicing as interest.

I believe unlike in the past the US indices will start to behave differently...like today dow is flat but Russell went down 2%...

I have been tracking this ...and the indexes are diverging in performance.
