BREAKING: Goldman, Nike, And Visa To Join The Dow - Alcoa, HP, and BofA Are Out

Via CNBC's Carl Quinatinilla there's a shakeup at the Dow Jones Industrial average

Breaking: Goldman Sachs, Nike, Visa to be added to Dow Jones Industrials. $GS $NKE $V

Alcoa, Bank of America, Hewlett-Packard to be removed from Dow Jones. $AA $BAC $HPQ

All these moves make sense.

BofA and HP are fallen stars, and Alcoa is increasingly an irrelevancy.

Meanwhile, Nike is one of the most amazingly durable brands in the world. Visa and Goldman are two of the pillars of the modern financial system.
