   	For the record the Dow Jones average is named for Charles Dow,   
   founder of The Wall Street Journal, and his business partner Edward   
   Jones.  They introdeuced this in 1896, just in time to catch a major   
   collapse in the price of stocks.  Dow is also famous as the creator of   
   'Dow Theory', a never precisely stated theory of how the stock market   
   works which form the basis of technical theory, the idea that there are   
   definite phases of trends in the stock market and that by studying the   
   movements of prices hard enough you can determine what they are.
