The Dow Jones has also been subject to such fluctuations that is why a lot of companies have been taken off the market index. For instance, AIG, US Rubber, and General Motors. I cringe every time someone says the market will return a trader 10% compounded a year based upon the Dow index because...

I want to laugh, but I don't get the joke. What do you mean by disappearing act? Sorry, I have a horrible sense of humor. :p
