Answer: No, these indexes are averages of stock prices and indicate the overall performance of the stock market.

Explanation:

GIVEN the following ;

Dow Jones industrial average = $13,500

S&P 500 Industrial average = $1,500

Prices of stock in the DIJA are not nine times as high as the price of stocks in the S&P 500, the indexes displayed are only used as a measure of performance obtained from large companies listed on the United States stock exchange market. The measurement of the Dow Jones industrial average takes 30 large companies into cognizance while the S&P 500 averages stocks from 500 large companies.
