You should start a new index, called the 3 index, that just looks at 3 companies. That should be enough to gauge the market, right?

The DJIA only has 30 which is always surprising to me (to its credit it tracks with the S&P 500 pretty well).

The DJIA is also share-price weighted. It's an objectively bad index and I find it surprising that it's still widely followed.
