Sounds like the making of a survey.

Three things *have* changed for me:
1. My wealth (down)
2. My weight (up)
3. My IQ (down)

I think my height is the same.

3. My IQ (down)
4. Amount of clutter and tools (up way too much)
5. Amount of personal time (down by as much as 4)
6. A number of family members added and subtracted

Nope, not that either if your age and weight have increased.

Well, actually, I may have gotten taller -- lotsa inversion/back stretching,
donchaknow.

But I didn't want to stir up the implausible.

Wrong. AIG was a Dow component until recently, not no more. The DJIA and
its ilk are fallacious, counting only winners after-the-fact. Losers vanish
from sight, like in a Kremlin group photo. Don't be a sucker. Indexes
omit extinction risk, and thus don't track real value.

Richard, I thought that they replaced AIG at its present low value?
Dow did not magically rise when they replaced it?

I personally wish that these indexes were tracked with dividends
reinvested.

It was replaced after some decline less than current, but yes, later and
lower than the usual cases.
