The Dow Jones Industrial Average is bouncing between 40,000 and 43,000 in April 2025. The Dow topped out at 45,000.

The Dow “correction” lowered it to bounce between 37,000 and 40,000. It appears that the correction is over.

The Dow reflects the predictable decline of the US “Service Economy”.  Prior to 1990, there were more manufacturing companies included.

Most 401Ks are invested in the S&P500 that includes the Dow companies with the largest 500 public traded companies. I encourage 401K holders to keep their accounts. The current lower balances will rise as the US economy improves.
