vestment information in newspapers, magazines, on
television, and on websites.

industrial stocks, used to give an indication of
the direction (up or down) of the stock market
over time.

ages in 1884 using the prices of 12 im-
portant stocks.

when deemed appropriate, and the index
was enlarged to include 30 stocks.
c. The Dow has been broadened several times
to include the service sector, NASDAQ
stocks, and corporate mergers.

market lost almost 13% of its value.

ber 19, 1987, losing 22% of its value, the

declined significantly in value.
6. Many analysts believe the 1987 crash was due
to PROGRAM TRADING, the process of giving
instructions to computers to automatically sell if
the price of a stock dips to a certain point to
avoid potential losses.
7. As a result, U.S. exchanges created mecha-
nisms to RESTRICT PROGRAM TRADING
whenever the market rises or drops by a large
number of points.
a. PROGRAM TRADING CURBS are put in ef-
fect when the Dow moves up or down more
than a certain number of points.
b. A key computer is turned off and trading is
halted.
c. CIRCUIT BREAKERS, complete halts in
trading, are triggered when the Dow falls 10,
20, or 30% in a day.
d. Circuit breakers were triggered for the first
and only time on October 27, 1997, when
the Dow fell 550 points.
e. The market again collapsed into a deep de-
cline in 2000–2002, largely due to the dot-
com bubble bursting.
8. Investor confidence eroded in the early 2000s.

value of companies was fairly reflected in
