Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.31 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.19 (year ago it was 14.69); Saturday's P/E estimate is 12.35 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.23 (year ago it was 12.60) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.65 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.60 (last year it was 2.40). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,694.24 down 15.96 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,710.20. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.47 down 0.54 from Thursday's average closing price of $57.01.

The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Friday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have lost $1,596 ($171,020 - $169,424).
