Cristina Felicia P | What would happen if DOW Industrial Average goes down to 0? |
|

This would mean that the net average value of the companies that comprise the dow have a market value of zero. In other words, they would be worthless:
3M
Alcoa
American Express
AT&T
Bank of America
Boeing
Caterpillar
Chevron Corporation
Citigroup
Coca-Cola
DuPont
ExxonMobil
General Electric
General Motors
Hewlett-Packard
Home Depot
Intel
IBM
Johnson & Johnson
JPMorgan Chase
Kraft Foods
McDonald's
Merck
Microsoft
Pfizer
Procter & Gamble
United Technologies Corporation
Verizon Communications
Walmart
Walt Disney
If this happens, these corporations would become insolvent and seek bankruptcy protection. Before this would happen, however, they would likely be bought up. If it would happen, your savings, retirement, etc.... would most likely be gone. Back to trading glass beads we go.... |

what?
|
umm, we learn the numbers for the S&P instead?
the only way the dow could possibly go to 0 is if they decided to disband it. i mean, they get to pick the companies that go into the dow, so as long as there are 30 public companies, the dow will be above 0. |

It's doubtful you'd ever see it go to 0, for a number of reasons.
First, the DOW is indexed to share prices. A share gives the owner both owner ship of the company plus any profits/dividends etc...
A share value of 0 says that the company is worthless, or in the negative. But most any company has SOME assets (building, equipment, etc...).
A share price of zero basically says the company is free.
Also, long before the DOW would get anywhere near 0 (Say, even 5-6000), would induce such panic that trading would probably be stopped, to give time to adjust.
Hope this helps.

The stocks in the Dow amount to about 25 percent of the market cap in the stock market. Add another ten percent for the companies that depend on them. Things would be rough for a while, but eventually other businesses would take their place and things would move back to where they were. |

from the way it looks, we are going to go into a recesssion, so people are praying that this somewhat likely thing will happen. But if it does, many people will be bankrupt, many people will be homeless, and everone around the world will be effected by it no matter what

say no try to take our home its not worth anything anymore so why would you want it empty. If I just burn it and put up a shack do you want that too |
|

given that scenario
I don't think you would want to be alive to see it
that situation would result from nuclear armageddon
the end of the world
but they would close the stock exchange before the dow got to zero anyway
so it could never happen |
