FYI: With his ever-present bow ties, David Blitzer is probably one of the most recognizable faces in indexing. He is the chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, and as such, oversees the two most widely followed and widely quoted indexes in the world—the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average—in addition to the rest of the firm's benchmarks. Blitzer is also a respected economist who is featured frequently in the media. His "Talking Indexes" columns have appeared in almost every issue of the Journal of Indexes for the better part of a decade.
