It's insane to buy one of these old index funds that are now pop curiousities. The only reason DJIA and S&P are interesting is because decades ago we didn't have computers, so we used extremely simplified indicators. Now you can buy into an index fund with 1000s of securities that doesn't have arbitrary constraints determined by the needs of historical contiuity with obsolete newspapers.
