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.
From thereon, the Dow Theory torch was passed on to Richard Russell.
More recently, numerous traders have tried to reduce the Dow Theory to a "system," where a series of confirmations of the Dow Jones Industrials by the Dow Jones Transports (or vice-versa) is taken to be "buy" or "sell" signals without regards to other factors such as valuation, economic conditions, and investor sentiment.

 Fool.com: History of the Dow
Dow was originally credited with creating the first general market average in July of 1884, although he later modified this and began to publish separate Industrial and Railroad Averages on May 26, 1896.
Dow's Theory called for the creation of an Industrial Average and a Railroad (Transportation) Average as a way to confirm the general direction of the market.
Dow Theory, as least as far as Dow crafted it to be, has absolutely no contemporary relevance.

 TheStreet.com: Dow Theory: It's Alive! Alive! And Bullish?
The Dow theory, you'll recall, is one of those time-honored, traditional measures of looking at the market, which (basically) says any move in the Dow Jones Industrial Average must be "confirmed" by the Dow Jones Transportation Average.
The theory has been broadcasting a bearish signal since Aug. 4, according to its best-known proponents, and that's something other pundits generally include in their litany of things "wrong" with the market.
The man considered the dean of Dow theory, Richard Russell, editor and publisher of Dow Theory Letters in La Jolla, Calif., was downright dismissive of Schannep's call.

 Safe Haven | Dow Theory and Cycles
The Dow theory looks at such things as confirmation and non-confirmation, Dow's three movements, which is a means to separate and understand the short, intermediate and long-term movements, market phasing and value, to mention a few.
From a Dow theory perspective, this non-confirmation was a warning and when the movement from Point L to M violated the Point K lows, the bear market was confirmed.
It was the combination of both my trend or cycle quantifications and the Dow theory that I used to develop my 2006 forecast in which I stated in January we should first see the gain in 2006 and that the pain would follow in the last half of 2006.

 The Big Picture | Is "Dow Theory" Dead?
Traditional Dow Theory was based on the idea that the three basic indexes: industrials, transportation, and utilities provided an accurate reading of the core elements of the US economy.
The relevance of Dow Theory is constantly questioned, terribly misunderstood in the general financial media, and has been deserted by the newspaper (Wall St. Journal) founded by the man credited with penning the theory's implications.
Periodically the theory is grudgingly acclaimed for its inherent low-volitility, and recently, it would be hard to argue that Dow Theory nailed the two most important moves of the last twenty-four months.

 TheStreet.com: Dow Theory Revisited: No Friend of the Bull
A shrinking group of investors subscribe to Dow theory, but recall that the Dow transports "broke down" last spring even as the industrials continued to power to new highs.
According to Dow theory, the trend was bullish from January 1991 until Aug. 4 of this year, when the industrials plunged 299.43 to 8487.31.
Dow theory is useful for a "confirmation-type signal," but if investors wait until the industrials and transports are back to new highs, they will have missed a hefty portion of the rally, O'Bryan said.

 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.
However, Dow's good friend, S.A. Nelson, published 15 of Dow's Wall Street Journal editorials in a little volume entitled, "The ABC of Stock Speculation." A footnote at the bottom of each chapter refers to the editorial as "Dow's Theory." But Dow himself never once used the term.

 Dow Theory At a Glance
Dow Theory is based on the philosophy that the market prices reflect every significant factor that affects supply and demand - volume of trade, fluctuations in exchange rates, commodity prices, bank rates, and so on.
Dow theory is interested in the direction of a trend and doesn't offer any forecasting ability for determining the ultimate duration of a trend.
The major criticism of the Dow Theory is its slowness: It misses about 25% of a move before giving a signal, primarily because it is a trend following system designed to identify existing trends.

 Safe Haven | Dow Theory
Now understand that cycles are not apart of Dow theory, but when I looked at the early bull and bear market periods as defined by our Dow theory fathers, I realized that these bull and bear market periods consisted of a single 4-year cycle.
Since the Dow theory currently tells us that we are still operating within a Primary bear market, I will use the more recent 1966 to 1974 bear market to illustrate this point.
However, those who truly understood the Dow theory are on record for knowing what was going on and the longer the market held up the more bullish the general public became in spite of these warnings.

 The Dow Theory Record - Schannep Timing Indicator
Confirmation by both is an integral part of the Dow Theory.
A review of the Dow Theory signals implies that a secondary trend will usually bounce at least 4% on both the Industrials and Transportation Indices, and usually one or both will exceed 7%.
What is precisely defined is the extent of the "return move", the pullback after a bounce up from a Bear market bottom, or the bounce after a pullback from a Bull market top, and that shall exceed 3% on either of the averages.
