About Dow Jones Stock Index
The Dow Jones Index (DJI or the “Dow”) is one of the oldest and most widely followed of all the market gauges. It consists of 30 stocks, representing the companies considered leaders in their respective industries. DJI stocks are widely held by individual and institutional investors alike. The 30 Dow stocks represent about a fifth of the total market value of all U. S. stocks; they represent about a quarter of the value of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Dow Jones Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology. This means that the level of the Index reflects the total market value of all its constituent stocks relative to a particular base period.
A company's total market value is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares outstanding. Statisticians call an index of a set of combined variables (such as price and number of shares) a “composite index”. An indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation because it makes values easier to work with and to track over time. For instance, charting based on index values is more easily accomplished compared to using actual values.
The DJI e-minis contract is one of the most popular and liquid e-mini futures contracts, along with the popular NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500 e-minis.
