		NEW YORK (AP) — When the Dow Jones industrial average plunged to its low of the session Tuesday, it happened with incredible swiftness — a matter of seconds — because of a computer glitch that kept some trades from being immediately reflected in the index of 30 blue chip stocks.
		Dow Jones and Co., the media company which manages the flagship index, said around 2 p.m — just two hours before the New York Stock Exchange was to close — it discovered computers were not properly calculating trades.

	IS THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE ("DJIA") INDEX OVERVALUED?
		The average P/E for the Dow Jones Industrial average since 1950 is 18.
		If we expect the DJIA P/E to remain around 17.3 then the amount we we should expect to earn by investing in the DJIA index is equal to our earnings growth assumption plus the dividend yield.
		In retrospect this was a reasonably correct assessment since in the almost 5 years since then an investor in the DJIA has averaged about 5.0% growth annually from capital gains (note, there was a lot of volatility around that 5%) and a further 1.5% or so from dividends for a total return of 6.5%.

		For example, the DOW averaged 11281.26 in January 2000, when the Real DOW = 100.0, and both are the all-time nominal highs.
		In April 2006, 6.25 years later, the DOW averaged just 0.4% less at 11234.68, but the Real Dow is 16.4% less at 83.6.
		All you can say for sure is that the real DOW will revert to the mean and that there are two ways for it to do so: deflation as occurred in the correction from 1930 to 1931 or inflation as from 1965 to 1983.
