It was only a matter of time, and it has finally happened, General Motors has filed for bankruptcy and has been taken out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

When General Motors filed for bankruptcy protection this past week, its 83-year tenure as a fixture within the Dow Jones Industrial Average also came to an end. Faced with the abrupt passing of an economic icon, the stock market rallied; a classic case of selling the rumor (fear of the unknown) and buying the news (increased knowledge of the future). This works in the reverse for good

But what exactly does it mean?Basically, the Dow Jones Industrial Average's a stock market index that offers a quick way to get a feel for how the stock market is fairing on any given day.
