The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a system of monitoring the stock market. The DJIA tracks the 30 "largest" (stocks wise) companies in the US. It is used to monitor the performance of the Stock Market.
From the NYSE website: NYSE Circuit Breakers In response to the market breaks in October 1987 and October 1989 the New York Stock Exchange instituted circuit breakers to reduce volatility and promote investor confidence. By implementing a pause in trading, investors are given time to assimilate incoming information and the ability to make informed choices during periods of high market volatility. In the event of a 1100-POINT decline in the DJIA (10 percent): Before 2pm, there is a 1 hour halt Between 2pm & 230pm, there is a 30 minute halt After 2:30pm, there is no halt. In the event of a 2200-POINT decline in the DJIA (20 percent): Before 1pm, there is a 2 hour halt Between 1pm & 2pm, there is a 1 hour halt After 2pm, the market closes. In the event of a 3350-POINT decline in the DJIA (30 percent), regardless of the time, MARKET CLOSES for the day. http://www.nyse.com/press/circuit_breakers.html

DIA
About 100 years
Not very much. Sad but true. They calculate the Dow by adding together the prices of the 30 stocks that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average, then dividing by a figure that's SUPPOSED to linearize the DJIA. It takes into account things like stock splits. Right now, the divisor is below one, so the DJIA is higher than the combined stock prices of the 30 companies in the DJIA. The DJIA is generally held as an indicator of the health of the market. There are better indices--the Standard & Poor's 500 is a good one--but the Dow is traditional.
