This Supercharged Dow Stock Has a 55% Upside, According to Wall Street
Tough economic times are a good reminder of why it's so important to hold established, safe stocks in a portfolio and not put all of your eggs into the growth investing basket. For example, even the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a composite of 30 top stocks and itself an indicator of overall market activity, has outperformed the S&P 500, a much broader market indicator with a more varied group of stocks, over the past year. The Dow fell 7% versus the S&P 500's 12.3% loss.
