The financial press tends to become excited when the Dow Jones Industrial Average rises or falls sharply. After a particularly steep rise or fall, newspapers may publish tables ranking the day's results with other large advances or declines. If you were asked to construct a table of the best and worst days in stock market history, how would you do it, and why? Expressing market performance as a percentage change is best since this method incorporates the actual level of the index in the calculation Expressing market performance in absolute value terms is preferred since this method treats increases and decreases in value more uniformly Expressing market performance as a dollar value is preferred since this puts any changes in terms that are most relevant to investors. Expressing market performance in point values is preferred since this the most objective way to look at changes in index values
