Charles Henry Dow (/d/; November 6, 1851 – December 4, 1902) was an American journalist[1] who co-founded Dow Jones & Company with Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser.

Dow also co-founded[2] The Wall Street Journal,[3] which has become one of the most respected financial publications in the world. He also invented the Dow Jones Industrial Average as part of his research into market movements.[4] He developed a series of principles for understanding and analyzing market behavior which later became known as Dow theory, the groundwork for technical analysis.
