The Nasdaq and Dow are a bundle of stocks that represent the US stock market. These are all American companies. Owners of these companies hold "shares" of the company representing part ownership in the corporation. The Dow Jones Industrial Average or "Dow" is a basket of 30 companies from different sectors of the US economy. Each share has a selling price and the Dow uses a special formula to add up all the shares selling price during the trading day to come up with the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Nasdaq is the small thing, but the companies reflect the technology sector.
Best of Luck. |

Both the Nasdaq and Dow also include Canadian companies (a correction to a previous answer). Eg. Northern Telecom (NT - Dow) is based in Toronto, Ontario an Northgate Minerals (NXG - Nasdaq) is based in British Columbia. |

Stocks trade, meaning they're bought and sold on various exchanges. For example, there the New York Stock Exchange and there's the NASDAQ. So the NASDAQ is a stock exchange.
The Dow or Dow Jones is a basket of 65 individual stocks, which is broken down into the largest 30 industrials, 20 transports, and 15 utilities. |

They both are stock indexes made up of certain shares, dow is top 30 stocks, to measure performance of basket of stock. nasdaq is mainly technology stocks. |

It's supply and demand basically. People's demand for a stock goes up and down based upon how well that company is doing financially. When demand goes up, the stock price goes up. And when demand goes down, the stock price falls.
(I'm not a finance major, so hopefully that's an accurate response) |

The Dow is a chosen 30 stocks which are supposed to be indicative of the economy as a whole.
The Nasdaq (I believe you are referring to the index not the exchange) is a selected group of the 100 largest stocks which trade on the nasdaq...largely a tech index. |

Dow Jones is the Industry Index that usually contained most of the blue chip stocks which the major technology companies and those company have to be the leader in the field for period of time......And the NASDAQ industry Index is where all the mid-cap and small-cap stock listed there including all industries except some micro-cap because in order to be listed on the New york Stock Exchange or the AMEX , those companie have to meet the standard market capitalization and comply with the SEC and file the section 404,,,,, A little easy to understand the different between Nasdaq and Dowjone, is Dow Jones a bigger guy... |
