Both the Dow and the Nasdaq, then, refer to an index, or an average of a bunch of numbers derived from the price movements of certain stocks. The DJIA tracks the performance of 30 different companies that are considered major players in their industries.
The NASDAQ is an exchange, like the New York Stock Exchange and the newly created BATS. Unlike the NYSE, it also reports the performance of all the companies that it lists. They are all components of the stock market. The Dow, the S&P 500 and the MSCI are indices that track the performance of selected stocks. The Dow is short for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or DJIA.
