Probably tradition. It has been around a long time and is just another indicator. I really don’t care and many don’t but don’t see it as an issue that they still report it. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean others don’t

I don’t like the Dow reporting either but what I hate even more is commentators who say how many points it gained or lost instead of the %. Points movement literally mean nothing to anyone.
I agree normally , except for those of us who do option trading, it’s extremely beneficial to know the points gained or lost.

It is an index of the largest companies. It is one of many measures of our financial markets. Feel free to ignore it.
No Berkshire Hathaway either lmao
Why not? The Dow pre dates the Sp500. Frankly I'm more upset that the sp400 is not shown as major market index
Then add the SP 600 also and the Russell 2000, and the Russell 3000. Sp400 is not a major market index that most care about any more than the Dow.
