This phrase "Opening of the Dow Jones" seems to be used very loosely. Could it be made somewhat more explicit? Whose figure is used? I complain because [1] effectively says that there's no such thing as the "opening" of the Dow - instead it's the NYSE that opens, and the Dow is just computed from that. For the time calculation, how about less ambiguity like referring directly to 9:30am New York Time (if that's correct), or something? 130.194.80.156 08:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Nearly every finance-page lists the value for the DOW's "Opening". No matter how it is defined internally, that's simply the value used for the calculation. --Hermann 22:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
