Last week's big losers. ExxonMobil was the biggest Dow loser two weeks ago, after shedding 1.97% of its value. This week the oil and gas company rose 1.01%, while fellow Dow energy play Chevron (NYSE:CVX) was the index's second biggest decliner, losing 2.68%.
The lowest level of the DJIA was 28 on August 8th, 1896. The highest point was reached on May 19th, 2015, at 18312.39 - which is quite a nice return. Now (as of October 2, 2015), the Dow stands at 16472.37. There have been quite a number of ups and downs since then, however. The Dow climbed all the way to 382.17 on September 3, 1929, before starting a horrific decline that coincided with the Great Depression. The bottom didn't hit until July 8, 1932, at 41.22 - an 89% decline for those keeping score. Another high point came on October 1, 2007, when the Dow closed at 14087.55. Unfortunately, a global recession pushed the index all the way down to 6594.44 on March 5, 2009 - a 53% decline. Note that high points are almost by definition the point of maximum optimism and low points the point of maximum pessimism (or despair, in the case of the Great Depression), so you can only spot them in hindsight.
