Never mind Apple, it's now the Goldman Sachs era in the Dow
New York
ONE of the most recognisable companies in the world is about to cement its grip on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and it's not who you think.

New York-based Goldman Sachs, with a 7.1 per cent share, will be the first bank to hold the top spot since JPMorgan Chase & Co in 2000.
