The 500 stocks that are included are continually updated in order that the index continues to represent, with some degree of accuracy, the total stock market.
3. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an index like the S&P 500, but it differs in that it consists of only 30 stocks. Those stocks are also subject to periodic evaluation. The DJIA is still viewed as a reasonable proxy for the broad market, because the 30 stocks it contains are usually the largest thirty on the market, and represent a sufficient cross-section of companies that the DJIA can be considered to be fairly well-diversified, despite having far fewer stocks included than the S&

However, the company saw a reduction in profits during 2008 (fiscal 2009) and only last year was able to restore profitability to previous levels.

Goldman Sachs is considered a top trade recommendation for 2012 by many accounts as the firm is largely financially successful and the institutional client services dominate the businesses revenue stream (Craig, 2013).
