Babson argues that the Dow Jones Industrial Averages have risen and fallen since 1920s highs, but now hover around 181 as he predicts less attention to averages. He foresees a selective future market where investment counsellors shift funds to firms with dispersed assets, minimal labor needs, and resistance to inflation, favoring regional merchandisers over coastal department stores.
