Presently, every $1 change in price in a particular stock within the average equates to a 6.885 (or 1 ÷ 0.14523396877348) point movement . </P> <P> With the current inclusion of only 30 stocks, critics such as Ric Edelman argue that the DJIA is not a very accurate representation of overall market performance . Still, it is the most cited and most widely recognized of the stock market indices . Additionally, the DJIA is criticized for being a price - weighted average, which gives higher - priced stocks more influence over the average than their lower - priced counterparts, but takes no account of the relative industry size or market capitalization of the components . For example, a $1 increase in a lower - priced stock can be negated by a $1 decrease in a much higher - priced stock, even though the lower - priced stock experienced a larger percentage change . In addition, a $1 move in the smallest component of the DJIA has the same effect as a $1 move in the largest component of the average . For example, during September--October 2008, former component AIG's reverse split - adjusted stock price collapsed from $22.76 on September 8 to $1.35 on October 27; contributing to a roughly 3,000 - point drop in the index . </P>
