If you watch the news, you hear at all the time about the Dow Jones 【S1】______
Industrial Average and other averages that like the S&P 500 or the 【S2】______
Russel 2000. These are "market averages" designed to tell you how
companies are traded on the stock market are doing in general. 【S3】______
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is simply the average value of 30
large, and industrial stocks. Big companies like General Motors, 【S4】______
Goodyear, IBM and Exxon are the kinds of companies that make up
this index. See this page for details on how that the average is 【S5】______
calculated. See this page for a list of the companies in the average.
The thing to understand is that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is
nothing magic--which someone has chosen 30 companies and 【S6】______
he averaged their values together by following a specific formula. 【S7】______
That's all what it is. 【S8】______
There are all sorts of averages out there. The S&P 500 is the average
value of 500 different large companies. But the Russel 2000 tracks 【S9】______
the average of 2,000 smaller companies. And there are others.
What these averages tell you is the general health of stock prices as 【S10】______
a whole. If the economy is "doing well", then the prices of stocks as a 【S11】______
group tend to rise. If it is "doing poorly", prices as a group tend to fall.
The averages show you these tendencies in the market as a whole. If
a specific stock is going down but while the market as a whole is going 【S12】______
up, that tells you something. Or if a stock is rising, but is rising faster
or slower than the market as a whole, that tells you something as well.
【S1】______
