 | | The DJIA is a price-weighted index calculated daily based on the price of each company without any regard to the relative size of each component. | | | To equal the Dow's performance, an investor would have to buy the same number of shares of each company; such a strategy would force the investor to invest more money in companies with higher share prices, not a terribly rational way to invest. | | | The companies of the DJIA are not likely to disappear -- they are some of the largest in the U.S. An investor looking for low risk, capital preservation, and some income from dividends would be the ideal purchaser of products linked to the Dow. |

| | Calculating The Dow Jones Industrial Average |
| | Today, the DJIA is a benchmark that tracks American stocks that are considered to be the leaders of the economy and are on the Nasdaq and NYSE. | | | To absorb the effects of price changes from splits, those calculating the DJIA developed the Dow divisor, a number adjusted to account for events like splits that is used as the divisor in the calculation of the average. | | | The DJIA's methodology of calculating an index is known as the price-weighted method. |

| | Dow Jones Industrial Average |
| | Calculated by adding the prices of these 30 stocks, the Dow is now considered a figure that indicates the general state of the market. | | | Since a $1 movement in the price of a $100 stock counts equally with a $1 movement in the price of a $20 stock, the Dow Jones is considered a price weighted index. | | | Now, over 100 years later, the sum of the prices of the 30 stocks is divided by a number less than one! |

| | However, the most convenient and cost-effective way to trade this index is to purchase the Dow Diamonds (symbol DIA). | | | In addition, because the index is price weighted as opposed market cap weighted, some of the largest firms in the world--including General Electric (GE), Microsoft (MSFT) and Pfizer (PFE)--actually have less of an impact on the Dow's performance than some of the smallest members, several of which happen to sport higher share prices. | | | Many practitioners prefer to use the SandP 500 or the Wilshire 5000 as market benchmarks. |

| | One period was from about 1943 to 1962 (19 years), when the DJIA had a rate of return of about 8.2%, and another from 1982 to 2000 (18 years), having a 12.9% rate of return. | | | This is because if if one would have invested in mutual funds or solid blue chip growth stocks, the buy-and-hold strategy would have done nothing over these long periods of time. | | | From 1900 to 1943, the DJIA only increased at a rate of return of 2.3% per year. |
