Many investors actively follow investments they donÆt actually own. Watching an investment can help you determine its performance, how it performs against investments you own, and help you determine whether or not you want to buy it for your own investment portfolio.

Tracking an index can help you evaluate how your investments are performing against common market indexes. One of the most popular indexes is the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is a price-weighted average of 30 "blue chip" primarily industrial stocks.
