I discovered that the DJIA is also only a price index, just like the S&P 500 only reflects prices, i.e., it doesn't contain the contribution of reinvested dividends. There is a separate index for the djia that figures the dividends just like the S&P500 has a separate total return index (see previous post). Today (Monday) the DOW closed at 11,005.97 and last Friday (latest available DJIA TR) closed at 19,480.12. Here's the DJIA moneycentral.msn.com Here's the DJIA TR moneycentral.msn.com
