      He's taking the numbers from the actual indexes. Dow is currently valued at around 26000 pts and the S&P around 3100 points. But his computations are incorrect and having nothing to do with the actual value of a point on either index.

    So, what indexes would be more responsive to the entire stock market, rather than to just a few great companies? I'm thinking that those indexes would be great investments during market lows, since they will move more on the way back up, giving you a greater bang for your buck. Thanks for your thoughts.

      Find the value of 1 point. And the market price of the dow. Eg. 1 point is 270,000,000 and the market cap is 62Trillion. So then you say 6,200,000,000,000/270,000,000. Which gives you roughly 23,000

And Because of that there are a lot of opportunities that you can take if you are willing to profit from the market.
