DOW RE MI

Description: Guitar, to the tune of "Do Re Mi"
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi
To make money you begin NYSE
NYSE
The first four letters just happen to be NYSE
It means the New York Stock Exchange
Oh dear, let's see if I can make this easier
The Dow is an average of industrial stocks
NASDAQ is high technology
S&P is blue-chip stocks
Wilshire samples all the stocks that be
Bull, the market's going up
Bear, the market's going down
Crash, we all jump off a cliff
That would bring us back to the Dow
[ad lib]
Now children, let's try this song together, I'll give you little clues
First think of a Chinese philosophy:
Dow
And now think of high technology stocks, Intel, Amazon.com:
NASDAQ
Now think of two initials, not A&P but:
S&P
Very good, now think of a kind of financial steak sauce:
Wilshire
Now everything Pat Buchanan says is:
Bull
Now everything George W. Bush says is hard to:
Bear
And now what does America Online do every afternoon?
Crash
Let's try it all together children now
The Dow is an average of industrial stocks
NASDAQ - NASDAQ is high technology
S&P - S&P is blue-chip stocks
Wilshire - Wilshire samples all the stocks that be
And the bull - bull, the market's going up
And the bear - bear, the market's going down
And the crash - crash, we all jump off a cliff
That would bring us back to Dow, Dow, Dow
[ad lib to end]
