How Now Dow?

Recent studies on richSOB.com and sister site richDOB.com suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Averages (R) component stocks will be substantially outperformed by their smaller industry peers in the near-term.

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) March 3, 2004 -- Recent studies on richSOB.com and sister site richDOB.com suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Averages (R) component stocks will be substantially outperformed by their smaller industry peers in the near-term.

Of the 29 component stocks studied (Honeywell was omitted for technical reasons), Intel showed the most promise, with a reasonable likelihood of a 10% gain in coming weeks. Proctor & Gamble was the least promising, appearing more likely than not to decline modestly in the period ahead.

The most promising alternative, replacing Proctor & Gamble, was Parlux Fragrances, followed in order by Tricom Ads, En Pointe Technologies, Mobius Management Systems, and Garden Fresh Restaurants. The least promising of the replacements was Sherwin-Williams, which nevertheless showed positive prospects compared with its Dow peer, Home Depot.

These limited prospects for the Dow stocks should not come as a great surprise given the substantial move of the stock market over the past year and the size of these companies. Their smaller peers can be more nimble and innovative, and sustain a far greater growth rate.
