Now that we are nearing the 1/2 way point in 2006, let’s take a look at the stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and see who has not benefited from the record breaking run so far this year.
Value if $1,000 Invested at the end of 2006 (largest loser first):
1- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)= $953
2- Home Depot (HD)= $956
3- Citigroup (C) = $977
4- Proctor & Gamble (PG) = $992
5- Disney (DIS)= $988
Not bad. 5 out of 30 stocks in the red. The big winners? Caterpillar (CAT) at $1,292 and Alcoa (AA) at $1,355

It’s unclear if your valuations for the five are including dividends. If not, JnJ for example, would have on average received an additional 23.62, based on 16 shares (1000 divided by an average share price of $63.00)
they do not….
since not all dividend payments are at the same time, some stock would have had extra (or been shorted) an payment..
citi, with the highest yield gets “shorted” in this case
