A read of Thurs. 6/25/09 print editions of: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily and USA Today yielded the following stories about Dow Jones 30 component companies:

WSJ @ pC1 there is a story about a possible secret agreement between regulators and BAC Bank of Amer's that occurred during the gov. bailout details that will be revealed during Fed. Reserve's Ben Bernanke's testimony before Congress today. This is also reported at Fin Times p22. NYTimes at pB4 has a similar story

GE is also mentined at WSJ pB2 as being in a dispute with rail-car maker Greenbrier over a $1.2 billion contract.

WSJ @pC has a story entitled "Boeing, Down 5.8%" that said how Beoing dragged the Dow down because of its announcement that it was delaying the first flight of its 787 Dreamliner. JPM JPMorgan is cited as saying the delay will push BA Boeing's per share earnings down. Your blogger issued a Research Report this morning and a related Press Release on PR Newswire saying BA is a buy because it did the right thing in delaying the flight instead of spinning it and the stock market will eventually recognize that. WSJ @pC10 has a story entitled "Dreamliner's Asian Angst" that says Boeing's delay will hurt Asian airlines.

WSJ @pB1 has a story about how the Oscars will double the nmber of nominees for Bst Picture to 10 films that will help Dis Walt Disney's small movies that aren't necessarily commercial hits but are good such as Dis' "Wall-E." Dis and GE's NBC Universal are in a story @ WSJ pB5 about how several major cable networks are readying systems that will let only paying subscribers watch cable shows on the web. Networks such as A&E and the History Channel, which are owned by a venture that includes Dis Walt Disney and GE's NBC are going to participate in a test by Comcast and other to be held this summer. Time Warner's CEO Jeff Bewkes, a proponent of this new plan, said he is in talks with other providers including VZ Verizon and T AT&T. This is also reported at Fin Times p15.

PFE Pfizer is mentioned at WSJ pB5 in a story about how Sanofi, a French drug maker, is preparing a big push into generic drugs because its US patent protection of Plavix, the anticlotting drugg is ending soon in 2011. This drug is the world's second biggest drug second only to PFE's cholesterol pill Lipitor.

WMT Wal-Mart is mentioned at WSJ pB9 in a story about Best Buy planning to open 40 stand alone mobile-phone stories and that one of the reasons is the growing competition from WMT which is expanding its share of the electronics market.

AJC at pA10 said that KO Coke and its bottling partner COFCO announced Wednesday the opening of two new bottling plants in China.

The current divisor for the Dow found at today's page C4 of The Wall St. Jrnl is
.132319125 unchanged.

Wedesday's Dow numerator was 1098.23 down 3.05 from Tuesday's Dow numerator which was 1101.28. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices. A short cut to the Dow numerator is to multiply the closing Dow by the Divisor.

Now, if you divide the Dow decrease of 3.05 in the Dow numerator by the divisor you get 23.05, the decrease in Wednesday's Dow.

The average closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones was $36.61 down .10 from Tuesday's average closing price of $36.71. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones was $33.43 up $1.67 from Tuesday's median closing price of $31.76.

The highest closing price Wednesday again was IBM $104.15 down 0.29 - 0.28% vol:6,340,234 NYSE and the lowest closing price Wednesday again was AA Alcoa $10.21 up 0.21 + 2.1% vol: 39,065,070 NYSE.

The lowest volume Wednesday was MMM 3M $57.48 + 0.42 0.74% vol: 4,412,059 NYSE and the highest volume was BAC Bank of Am $12.35 + 0.12 0.98% vol: 332,663,907 NYSE.

If Wednesday morning before the market opened you had purchased $100 of each of the Dow 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have lost $300 ($110,130 - $109,830).
