The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report.

The Dow closed Tuesday at 8447 down 82.38 down 0.97% from Mon's close of 8529.38. 24of the Dow 30 declined and only BAC Bank of Am, INTC Intel, McD McDonald's, MRK Merck, MMM and TRV Traveler's gained.

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

Tuesday's Dow numerator was 1117.70 down 10.9 from Monday's numerator of 1128.60. 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 10.9 in the Dow numerator by the divisor you get 82.38, the decrease in Tuesday's Dow.

The average closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones was $37.26 down .36 from Monday's average closing price of $37.62. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones was $31.88 down $1.10 from Monday's median closing price $32.98.
