Go to any financial site such as CNN Money and you can get the current quotation. Use the Symbol Look-up function to find the stock's ticker symbol and then use the symbol to get a price quote.

According to p. 100 of "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" (published in 2007), US stocks represent about one half the value of world stocks.

According to Wilshire Associates, the total U.S. market cap is approximately $15.35 trillion (May 23, 2007).

According to the World Federation of Exchanges, global market cap stood at 51.23 trillion in January 2007.

So the rest-of-world market cap is at least twice as large as the U.S. stock market.

"The DOW" refers to the Dow Jones Industrial Average; which is a general measure of the stock market based on a number of key factors. It's tracked by Dow Jones & Company a financial firm in New York City. It's one of the major stock market indices that people use to measure the health of the economy. Generally when the DOW is high the economy is good, and when the DOW drops the economy isn't doing so well.

Investors lose confidence in it. It's like this: simply put, if you think the market, and your stocks in particular, are about to lose value, you sell them to avoid losing money. if enough people do this, then supply/demand theory takes over and you have more of one stock being sold than people wanting to buy it. therefore, the price of the stock goes down. Since the Dow Jones is an index of a bunch of major industrial stocks, if enough of these stocks see a fall in price, the overall value of the stocks being traded goes down, therefore you see a drop in the Dow Jones.

Because the game is delayed slightly, about a minuite or two, you get the real time quote of a large company from google (in real time) you wait for the stock to start to rise, than immidiately buy about 500-1000 shares of that stock in the game. Watch the real time quote and when you see it peak and start to decline, wait for it to hit the peak in the game than short sell it.

Bishop Jones doesn't mind remarrying. Rumors exist about Bishop Noel Jones getting married. There is a woman out there claiming she's getting married to him on December 24, 2009. However, Bishop Jones has said himself, he doesn't know who she is, though she's even made invitations. When he hears about these things, he laughs at its falsehood.
