The index value of the DOW is a snapshot of the performance of all the stocks listed in that particular Stock Market. It is a weighted average of the prices of some of the most successful and prominent stocks in the US stock markets.

If the DOW gains points, it means majority of the stocks in the index are being bought by people and their prices are increasing.

If the DOW is losing points, it means majority of the stocks in the index are being sold and their prices are falling
