The Dow
Jones Industrial Average Index (DJIA) was created by
Wall Street Journal editor and the Dow Jones &
Company creator Charles Dow and Edward Jones. Mr. Dow
and Mr. Jones compiled the
Dow Jones Industrial Average Index in order to gauge the performance of the
industrial components of The United States of
America's stock markets. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average Index was first published on May 26, 1896.
At that time, the Dow represented only 12 various
industrial stocks. General Electric is the only
remaining original company still in the Dow Jones
Index today.
Today
the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index is the most
widely followed stock market in the world. The
Chicago Board of Trade hosts the Dow Jones futures and
options pits and gives investors a choice of full
size or mini contracts. The mini contract is half
the size of the full contract.
