"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.
