Checked the book -- I'm not sure why I remembered that it "opened" with that -- it doesn't at all, maybe it was just the first bit I read. Stock market data are used in two places: as an illustration of time aliasing resulting from decimation in the frequency domain (take an 8192-point DFT of 27 years of Dow closings, take only every 8th point, inverse DFT: observe to general amazement that the result is nothing like the original), and in a separate exercise in stochastic modelling.
