WSJ pB3 "CME in Line For Indexes Of Dow Jones" By Jeffrey McCracken says CME Group Inc. is the leading contender to buy Dow Jones & Co.'s index businessses but the talks hit a snag after Dow Jones pressed for new deal terms and a price of $700 mil. News Corp. which bought Dow Jones in '07 has written down half the $5.6 bil it paid for the publisher and a sale of the index group would help recoup some of those losses.

NYT pB7 "Shares Fall for the Day, The Month and the Year" by Javier C. Hernandez says Jan turned out to be the worst month for stocks since the depths of the fin'l crisis last Feb. Concerns emerged about the profitability of several big tech firms as San Disk dropped 11.67% and Microsoft fell 3.36% despite reporting a 60% increase in profit. The the weak the Dow was down 1%.

Fin Times pA14 "Equities unimpressed by positive economic data" by Samantha Pearson says Wall St recorded its worst monthly losses for a year as investors shrugged off a surprise jump in the rate of US economic growth. Analysts had expected gdp to increase about 4.7% during the last 3 months of '09 but the economy expanded 5.7%, the fastest rte of growth for 6 years.

Barron's "Week Review" p14 says the stock market was on track to turn in a dismal Jan. Fears over tighter bank rules, and tighter monetary policy, helped push the Down down 3.46% in the month.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of today's Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 16.30 up from Friday morning's 16.266 (year ago it was 19.33) the P/E estimate is 12.99 down from Friday's 13.30 (year ago it was 9.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.72 up from Friday's 2.717 (it was 3.91 a year ago).

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,332.1 down 7.03 from Thursday's closing Dow numerator of 1,339.13. 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 numerator dencrease of 7.03 for Friday by the divisor you get the decrease in Friday's Dow close of 53.13.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 44.40 down 0.24 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $44.64.
