Revised Dow

The famous Dow Jones Industrial Average is made up of 30 stocks.  But these aren't the biggest companies.  Alcoa, which was a member until Sept 23, has a market cap of only $10 billion.  Part of the criteria for listing is stock price, as if that means anything.  Here is my list of 30 stocks that should be used instead.  It includes international stocks, as long as they are listed on the NYSE.  Stocks in bold are also on the DJIA.  I was trying to find companies with at least $150 billion market cap, which BP doesn't have, but is close.  These are the monsters of the stock market.
