/——/ Well explain how this Dow ETF returned 13.48% last year?/—-/ I’ve tried to explain this to you before in simple terms you can understand. I’ll try again. The market averages you gleefully cite are meaningless unless you only invest in the exchange ETFs. But if you invested in individual stocks then you can would have gotten decent returns in spite of the Dow averages. I know it’s confusing. Take your time and study this chart. Biggest Stock Gainers Today (TOP 50 LIST) - Dogs of the Dow/——/ how do you factor in dividends, splits and options in your economic reviewIs the stock market successful right now?
The Russell 2000 is down 15% over the past year.
The S&P is essentially unchanged.
The DJI is essentially unchanged.

It is not an economic review, it is a review of the stock market. Do you find negative growth to no growth over a 12 month period to be successful for the stock market?
A simple yes or no will do.
What do 401ks and other retirement type accounts invest in?
If the market averages are meaningless, why did your god in the white house brag about them for year?
Where are all your post pointing out how stupid Trump was to brag about the market averages?
