The Down Jones?

Last week was a bad week for stocks as we all know. The market was down and down and it just kept going down hill it seemed to me. That is the way it is, you win some and you lose some. It kinda makes me wonder about opening an account and start trading like I wanted to. My main worry since I am just a regular guy is that I am going to lose all my hard earned moola but then again if I don’t do it why do it at all, right?. At some point you just have to do what you have to do and let ride. I do have a question about the Dow, after what we saw last week shouldn’t it be called the Down?. Hey, I am just curious about it nothing more. I am hoping this week is much better than last that is for sure.
