Both the Dow and the Nasdaq, then, refer to an index, or an average of a bunch of numbers derived from the price movements of certain stocks. The DJIA tracks the performance of 30 different companies that are considered major players in their industries.
Turn on the news and you'll see these three stock market indices. Here's the difference between them and why it matters. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) was down 0.74% as of 1:05 p.m. EDT, falling back under the 17,000 mark. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC)was down just slightly more, while the Nasdaq (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) plummeted by 1.5%. Days like this can leave beginning investors confused by the mechanics of the markets.
