Dow Drops Nine Points; USAirways Stock SlipsHemera/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- Investors didn't have much love for the markets on Valentine's Day.
 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down nine points and stayed below the 14,000 mark, at 13,973. The Nasdaq Composite closed up two points at 3,199, while the S&P 500 gained just a point to finish the session at 1,521.
