Wow wow wow...
Just like the Nasdaq, only a few stocks have contributed to about 1/2 the gains this past month in the dows 1200 point rally..... Seems like only a handful of stocks in the Nasdaq and Dow are keeping these markets afloat... Without these stocks contributing markets would be down in the year!

[paste:font size="3"]Dow Jones Industrial average has gained about 1,200 points over the past month. And interestingly, nearly half of that advance has been produced by just three stocks.
Leading the field by a wide margin is Goldman Sachs: That stock's 26.5 percent rally over the past month has added about 320 points to the Dow. In second place is UnitedHealth, which is up about 15.7 percent, and has consequently tacked about 150 points onto the 30-stock index. Finally, Caterpillar's 17.3 percent run had added about 95 points, just ahead ofJPMorgan's 90-odd point contribution.
