It also indicates that a 1% DJUA Return Rate decline over a 12 month period, (from
5% to 4% for example) has typically been accompanied by a 0.65% Dow Jones
Industrial Average Return Rate decline during that year and a 0.32% Dow Jones
Industrial Average Return Rate increase the following year.
The center column shows the change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return
Rate over 12 months, depending on whether the period experienced a rising or falling
DJUA Return Rate. The right column shows the change in the Dow Jones Industrial
Average Return Rate during the year following an increase or decrease in the DJUA
Return Rate.
The data history in the middle column shows a significant tendency for the
two indexes to move in the same direction during the same time period.
The evidence for using the previous 12 month change in the DJUA Return
Rate to predict the future direction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Return Rate is weak (right column). That evidence indicates that the
direction of the rates are inversely related to each other. Therefore, a
change in the DJUA Return Rate suggests that the Dow Jones Industrial
Average Return Rate will move in the opposite direction of the DJUA Return
Rate, but only to a limited extent.
Annual rates are shown in the graph and calculations.
How Do I Use This Information?
There are many investment theories that are well publicized in the financial press.
Even though little or no historical data may be offered as evidence for such theories,
many investors use them subconsciously, if not intentionally.
Example Theories: Rising Inflation is bad for the stock market. A booming housing
market is good for the S&P 500 stock index. A falling fed funds rate means that long
term interest rates will fall.
There are many such theories. In this site, long term investment and economic data
is tested against decades to determine whether a relationship actually exists or not.
This historical correlation provides a vital aid in interpreting the often confusing
behavior of the financial markets. The perspective gained may be the difference
between staying the course or being blown and tossed by every investment theory
that is popular at the moment. What the majority assumes to be true, often is not. In
the final analysis, readers are admonished to follow the evidence, wherever it leads.
This page tests the relationship between the DJUA Return Rate and the Dow Jones
Industrial Average Return Rate. Suppose you are making a business or investment
decision. Suppose again that the decision hinges on whether the DJUA Return Rate
and the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate tend to move in the same or
opposite directions. The data, graphs, and analysis above will enlighten you. You'll
discover whether they move with, inversely to, or independently of each other.
Suppose that the DJUA Return Rate has risen sharply and that you need to know
what direction the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate is headed in the near
future. Does the recent increase in the DJUA Return Rate provide a clue about the
future direction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate? The data history,
graph, and analysis above will show you how the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Return Rate has performed after increases in the DJUA Return Rate. You'll see if one
indicator has been likely to signal a change in another. This is not intended as a
prediction, but merely as a clue to the future from the annals of history. No man
knows the future, unless he has the ability to control the future.

Formula for periods with a rising DJUA Return Rate:
1) Change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate DURING periods with a
rising DJUA Return Rate:
The abbreviated formula is: (Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate Change /
DJUA Return Rate Rise) x 1% = Published Rate.
The complete formula is: [(Average change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Return Rate over all rolling 12 month periods with a rising DJUA Return Rate) /
(Average Rise in the DJUA Return Rate over the same 12 month periods)] x 1% =
Published Rate.
2) Change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate AFTER a rising DJUA
Return Rate:
The abbreviated formula is: (Subsequent Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate
Change / DJUA Return Rate Rise) x 1% = Published Rate.
The complete formula is: [(Average change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Return Rate during the 12 months following any rolling 12 month base period with a
rising DJUA Return Rate) / (Average Rise in the DJUA Return Rate over the 12 month
base periods)] x 1% = Published Rate.
Formula for periods with a declining DJUA Return Rate:
1) Change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate DURING periods with a
declining DJUA Return Rate:
The abbreviated formula is: (Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate Change /
DJUA Return Rate Decline) x -1% = Published Rate.
The complete formula is: [(Average change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Return Rate over all rolling 12 month periods with a declining DJUA Return Rate) /
(Average decline in the DJUA Return Rate over the same 12 month periods)] x -1% =
Published Rate.
2) Change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate AFTER a decreasing
DJUA Return Rate:
The abbreviated formula is: (Subsequent Dow Jones Industrial Average Return Rate
Change / DJUA Return Rate Decrease) x -1% = Published Rate.
The complete formula is: [(Average change in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Return Rate during the 12 months following any rolling 12 month base period with a
declining DJUA Return Rate) / (Average decline in the DJUA Return Rate over the 12
month base periods)] x -1% = Published Rate.
Rolling 12 Month Periods Defined:
Overlapping 12 month periods in a monthly data base.
For example:
In the 24 month period included in 2000 - 2001, there are 13 complete rolling 12
month periods. The first is January, 2000 - December, 2000. The second is February,
2000 - January, 2001. The third is March, 2000 - February, 2001 and so on. The last
complete rolling 12 month period in the 2000 - 2001 period is January, 2001 -
December, 2001.
