Dow Jones Industrial Average

just looked at the charts and it appeared to be around 14000 a year ago. Today, 10/8/08, at 11:36 PST the DJIA is around 9555 and a 40 year chart appears to have a base at 8500 to 7500 points but below 7500 there is a very steep slide down to 4000. If copy and paste the http below in your address bar you might go to a 40 year chart http://money.cnn.com/quote/chart/chart.html?pg=ch&symb=djia&time=all&freq=1dy&charts=0&comp=&compidx=aaaaa%7E0&ind_compind=&uf=0&lf=1&ma=0&maval=60

There is not really a stock symbol for the Dow Jones Industrial Average as it is simply an average composed of (and tracks) 30 different large/diverse American companies. However, there is a symbol/security that tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average and moves in direct correlation with it, and that is "DIA". Basically speaking, if the Dow Jones goes up 1%, then the DIA will be up 1%.

Definatly not Barack Obama

The original Jones model of non-discretionary accruals was developed by J. Jones in a 1991 paper in which she asserted that firms under the scope for import relief would engage in income-reducing earnings management.

It is a cross-sectional regression model:

Non-discretionary accruals = OLScoeff(1)(1/Assets) + OLScoeff(2)(chg in Rev) + OLScoeff(3)(gross PPE) + error of estimates

This original model has been refined many times to include the modified-Jones model which tweaks the second factor changing it from OLScoeff(2)(chg in Rev - chg in Rcvbls)

Both are among the several regression tests for earnings management but the limitation of all regression tests of EM is that (1) the power of the tests are generally low (partially explain variation if and when detected), and (2) they are all ex post measures (lagging).

Additional models include the industry model and the Healy model.

No, they are not brothers. Or cousins. Or any such relation. Despite the fact they both look so alike, both from Wales and have the same surname (but come on Jones is like the most common Welsh surname!) they are not related.

because it is the average of the 30 companies in it and it has been proven that what is happening in those 30 companies is whats happening overall in the stock market

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is probably the most widely followed index that measures how the stock market is performing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been in use since being constructed by Charles Dow in 1896. Although the index consists of only 30 large blue chip companies, over time the Dow Jones has been a remarkably accurate barometer of the overall performance of the stock market. The Dow Jones average is maintained by private companies who determine which companies to add or delete from the Dow Jones index components. The keepers of the Dow Jones strive to include stocks that best represent the overall US economy.

The Dow Jones Average is sometimes criticized for being calculated on a price-weighted basis since the price change of a stock with a high price will have more of an impact on the Dow than a lower priced stock. Nonetheless, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has withstood the test of time and it is unlikely that the method of calculating daily changes in the Dow Jones will be changed.

Almost all of the companies included in the Dow Jones would be recognized by most Americans due to their size and interaction with millions of consumers on a daily basis. Some of the most widely recognized companies in the Dow Jones Index include American Express, AT&T, Coca-Cola, General Electric, The Home Depot, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Procter & Gamble, Travelers, Verizon, Wal-Mart, and Walt Disney.
