"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.

I have absolutely no idea!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was founded in May 1896. It is based on thirty large companies that trade in the US and the average is created by weighting the stock prices to get a realistic overal value.

Numerically speaking, you will find MANY points that are substantially lower than the crisis we're currently facing. However, one must realize that world economics are constantly changing and that its difficult to compare years that are more than a few years apart. I am confident this graph will give you the figures that you're looking for. http://stockcharts.com/charts/historical/djia2000.html
