Tuesday was the day we finally said good-bye to the old Wall Street. In the morning, the Dow Jones Company announced it was dumping four underperforming stocks from its Industrial Average in favor of four darlings of the new economy.

Quality commodity producers--Phelps Dodge, Reynolds Metals, U.S. Steel--sell at prices previously seen only during the harshest of downturns.
