  Dow Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)

 Dow Theory Project
Dow came up through the ranks with an excellent training in journalism, a wide experience in the field with financial affairs, a membership in the New York Stock Exchange, and editor of The Wall Street Journal, his own enterprise, which was to grow and grow for many decades after his death.
Dow knew that time itself had produced large fortunes for those who studied the market, had the temperament to buy low when a primary bull market was in its early stages, when good values were available, and held on patiently as a major bull market progressed upward over the years.
Charles Dow satisfied a widespread craving for such a measure when he formulated a statistical set of averages that was to become known as the "Dow Jones Averages." There is evidence that Dow experimented with various types of averages for many years.

 Dow Jones Industrial Average - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is one of several stock market indices created by Wall Street Journal editor and Dow Jones and Company founder Charles Dow.
Dow compiled the index as a way to gauge the performance of the industrial component of America's stock markets.
Apart from investing in the individual stocks in the Dow Jones, there is also the option to invest in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) which represents ownership in a portfolio of the equity securities that comprise the DJIA.

 Dogs of the Dow - Dow History
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was created by a financial journalist named, most appropriately, Charles Dow.
Though Charles Dow created his first stock market average in 1884, this initial index was comprised of only 11 stocks, most of which were railroad companies.
As a result, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is intended to be representative of the entire United States economy except for the transportation and utilities sectors.

 The History of the Dow Theory
The Dow Theory (actually it is a set of observations) has basically to do with buying great values and selling those values when they become overpriced.
Dow was a very modest man, and although his admirers begged him to write a book explaining his theories, Dow stubbornly refused.
On the vicious 1957 decline the Dow collapsed to a low of 419.79, a level which was well above the 388.27 or the 50% level of its preceding rise.

 Dow Theory - MarketThoughts.com
It is interesting and amazing to note that not until Charles Dow started compiling the Dow Jones Industrial and Dow Jones Rail Index and started writing about the stock market a little over a hundred years ago, stock speculation was regarded merely as a game for the rich or as gambling for the brave.
In July 1949, with the Dow Jones Industrials registering a low at 161.60 and with the country in the midst of a severe recession, a new primary bull market was born.
Various "trading systems" come and go, but the Dow Theory has been a reliable tool for the trader/investor for over a century - mainly because the Dow Theory is not a system, but merely a theory based on the principles as first developed by Charles Dow, and which is open to interpretation.
