I assume you mean the Dow Jones Industrial Average which consists of 30, large, publicly traded companies. It is not possible to trade in a singular instrument that will track the performance of the DJIA without investing in some sort of pooled product like a mutual fund or ETF. There are options and futures that can be bought as well, but they would be options and futures of a pooled dow product and investing in these would be speculative against the dow as opposed to invested in to track the dow.
