When looking at things like the NASDAQ or the DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average), you have to understand what you’re looking at.
One way to find all of these is to go to the financial part of the Wall Street Journal website. There, you can find all sorts of charts. What these charts tell you is that they average out the ups and downs of their various stocks for that particular day, and the final result is put up as a point on a graph.
So for example, in 1929, when the stocks crashed, the charts back then probably showed an almost horizontal line going down.
