Thirty Stocks. Thirty Stories. One Index. 🧭

Today's number is... 30
30 Dow stocks are heading into the final weeks of the year, and they are not telling the same story.
Here’s the table:
Let's break down what the table shows:
The table lists all 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks, grouped into leaders, middle of the pack, and laggards.
Each row displays year-to-date performance, market capitalization, sector and industry classification, trend rankings, RSI values, RSI regimes, and distance from the 50-day average, 200-day average, 52-week high, and all-time high.
Green shading marks stronger readings, while red shading marks weaker readings.
The Takeaway: I scan all 30 Dow stocks every week, and I do a deeper dive at the start of each month. But most days, this table is my cheat code for a fast read on the stock market.
If you know what the Dow 30 stocks are doing, you usually know what the market is doing.
Right now, that read is bullish. The winners are winning. Leadership is intact. Strength remains in the names that never lost their trend this year.
More than half of the Dow sits in bullish RSI regimes with weeks left in the year, and many of those same stocks hold Trend Rankings of 3 or 4. Caterpillar leads the board, up more than 60% year-to-date. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, IBM, American Express, Cisco, and Walmart all show the same profile. Strong year-to-date gains. Price above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. RSI holding in bullish territory. Pullbacks stay shallow because price never loses trend. Distance from highs stays tight because buyers keep defending levels. Several Dow leaders remain within 5% of all-time highs while holding above rising 50-day and 200-day averages. This tells me that buyers are in control, not sellers pressing.
Even outside the top performers, many Dow stocks that are not leaders still trade above their 200-day averages. Trend damage is contained. Weakness has not spread. This tells me that the index is not being propped up by one or two names.
The laggards exist, but they are isolated. Stocks with bearish RSI regimes and Trend Rankings of 0 or 1 remain well below their highs and below key moving averages.
This table makes that separation obvious.
Money keeps flowing toward strength and away from broken trends.
That is exactly what healthy bull markets do.
The Dow 30 is selective and bullish into year-end. With only weeks left in the year, price continues to reward stocks above trend, above moving averages, and near highs.
So, are you positioned with the Dow stocks still acting like leaders, or are you waiting for the laggards to do something they have not done all year?
