Quote for the Day:

Let us remember, then, in the first place, that political institutions (however the proposition may be at times ignored) are the work of men–owe their origin and their whole existence to human will. Men did not wake on a summer morning and find them sprung up. Neither do they resemble trees, which, once planted, "are aye growing" while men "are sleeping." In every stage of their existence they are made what they are by human voluntary agency. Like all things, therefore, which are made by men, they may be either well or ill made; judgment and skill may have been exercised in their production, or the reverse of these. And again, if a people have omitted, or from outward pressure have not had it in their power to give themselves a constitution by the tentative process of applying a corrective to each evil as it arose, or as the sufferers gained strength to resist it, this retardation of political progress is no doubt a great disadvantage to them, but it does not prove that what has been found good for others would not have been good also for them, and will not be so still when they think fit to adopt it.

The Adjusted Close column is adjusted for dividends and other distributions, so its the one to use for total return calculations.

I dunno about the DOW so I don't know what its performance metrics are nor do I care in the slightest. It is a legacy index that is not at all representative of the total U.S. stock market. It's just a price-weighted average of 30 so-called blue chip stocks. Price-weighted - how silly.

The total U.S. stock market, is well, the total U.S. stock market.
