October 8, 2008 | category: A stock investor by profession I am not, but I’ve been keeping my eye on the Dow Jones for the past few years. Market trends and how they are affected have always interested me. It’s like a complicated role-playing game of statistics and probabilities.

Google has a good index page to check out what’s going on. Go here to check it out. You have to refresh the page to get the latest figures. It not only shows the index where it currently sets, but also marks a dotted guide to visually compare where it was at opening. There are also news, blog, and feed tags that integrate into the layout to show where they fall along the timeline. The daily postings on the google groups are interesting as well. It’s worth a look-see if you want to brush up your chops on some peripheral information and opinions.
