The ticker symbol for the Dow Jones industrial average = $DJX; at least this is for practical purposes because this is the symbol to input if you want to know the average at any point in time. Can you buy something with this symbol as you would buy a stock or a stock fund? The answer to this is no. If you want to buy the average, so to speak, then look for an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that carries the 30 stocks of the DOW. Likely some ETF's may closely replicate the DOW, but may not be exactly the same. This question is for future research and one example is an iShare with ticker = IYJ. There are many ETF's out there. Check 'em out.

"Futures are a way in which you can trade a security or commodity without having to actually own it. In this case, DJIA futures allow you to place money on the overall movement of the DJIA and is derived from the overall entity rather than a specific stock, security or commodity."
The DJIA is not calculated in this manner, creating the possibility that the performance of a single stock in the Dow could change the value of the entire index on any given day.
