WSJ pB1 "No Drama: dow Climbs 69.99 Points" by Tom Lauricella says Greek bond prices swung wildly after the widely expected decision to seek fin'l aid, but the ripples didn't spread far. Gains were led by energy stocks as oil prices topped $85 a barrel.Better than expected new home sales data also gave stocks a lift.

WSJ pB2 "Blue Chips Hit 17 Month High" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks climbed to a 17 month high, led by the energy sector after Schlumberger said the industry is ripe for a turnaround. Strong earnings from American Express provided a boost, as did a jump in new-home sales, lifting Home Depot. This week marked the Dow's eigth consecutive week in the black, its longest weekly winning streak since a run that ended in Jan. '04. Merck was the Dow's best performer Fri after it laid out its expectations for how it will be affected by the US health care overhaul bill. American Express jumped 2.7% after it reported its 1Qtr profit doubled, topping analysts' expectations on tumbling loan loss provisions and a 16% rise in card member spending. Home Depot climbed 1.9% boosted by a Commerce Dept. report that US new home sales surged in March. Microsoft kept the Dow's gains in check with a 1.4% drop. Its quarterly profit rose 35% largely due to sales of the latest version of its Windows operating system, but it posted a lower-than-expected figure on total deferred rev. Travelers slipped 0.8%, as improved investment results were wiped out by a record disaster costs as storms on the US East Cost and the earthquake in Chile caused claims costs to soar. Verizon Communications fell 0.8% as Goldman Sachs cuts its investment rating on the stock to neutral from buy.

Fin Times p14 "Positive data releases help trigger late rally" by Telis Demos says US stocks advanced in a late rally Friday as data releases described a sharply improving economic picture, which came against a backdrop of mostly positive corporate earnings.

NYT pB8 "Dow Ends Week Up, Extending Its Streak to 5 Days" by Christine Hauser says stocks pushed higher on Friday as the Dow Jones industrial average rose for a 5th consecutive day, and analysts saw little economic news on the horizon that would upset market sentiment next week. Spurred by the home buyer tax credit and increased optimism in the economy, the housing market continued on Fri to show some improvement. The Commerce Dept. said that sales of new homes rose in mar. to their highest levels since last summer.

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. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 17.18 down from Friday's 17.19 (year ago it was 30.89) the P/E estimate is 14.10 up from Friday's 14.00 (year ago it was 22.30) and the current dividend yield is 2.44 down from Friday's 2.45 (it was 3.83 a year ago). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,482.54 up 9.26 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,473.28. 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 numerator increase of 9.26 for Friday by the divisor you get the increase in friday's Dow close of 69.99. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.42 up 0.31 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.11. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 46.49 up 0.74 from Thursday's median closing price of $45.75. The lowest volume Travelers TRV $53.38 +0.41 0.76% 5,337,799 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $18.43 -0.11 0.59% 145,252,435 NYSE.

If Friday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have made $930 ($148,260- $147,330).

Market Watch 4/23/10 5:03 p.m. by Peter McKay, Donna Yesalavich says energy stocks led a steady market rally Friday, spurred by a rally in oil prices over $85 a barrel and an upbeat outlook from Schlumberger. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 11,204, +69.83, +0.63%) rallied steady from just before midday through the close, ending with a gain of 69.99 points, or 0.6%, at 11204.28, boosted by a 1.8% gain in Chevron (CVX 82.63, -0.04, -0.05%) . Merck /(MRK 35.67, +0.21, +0.59%) was up 5% after calming investors' anxiety about the effect of the U.S. health-care overhaul on its profits, and American Express (AXP 48.09, +0.04, +0.08%) moved higher by nearly 2.7% after a strong earnings report late Thursday. Investors grew more optimistic about the U.S. economy following a Commerce Department report showing that sales of new homes in the U.S. posted their largest year-over-year increase in nearly five years. Weak earnings from key companies create mixed trading in U.S. stocks Tuesday. Reports from Dow in members Cat, Coke, DuPont and Merck did nothing to cheer investors. Recent stock rally may have masked broader economic weakness, traders say as they drive oil prices lower. President Obama says his administration won't let the struggling U.S. auto industry 'simply vanish,' as shares of General Motors fall about 25% after the White House says bankruptcy may be an option for both GM and Chrysler.Commodity traders bet on an improving outlook for oil demand, pushing crude futures up $1.42 to settle at $85.12 a barrel in New York. Long-dated contracts suggested even stronger prices later in the year, including a move above $90 by December. Schlumberger (SLB 72.60, -0.08, -0.11%) was up 6.6% after it announced a 28% decline in first-quarter earnings but forecast a full-year turnaround. Smith International (SII 49.16, +0.01, +0.02%), which is due to be acquired by Schlumberger in a deal pending regulatory approval, was up 7.1%.
Worries about Greece's finances kept a lid on the market's gains but didn't derail the generally optimistic mood that pervaded the market all week. Traders remained focused on the first-quarter earnings season on Wall Street, which has provided far more pleasant surprises than bad. The dollar weakened against the euro after Greece Prime Minister George Papandreou formally asked to tap a €45 billion ($59.9 billion) European Union-International Monetary Fund aid package, after soaring borrowing costs were seen as making it nearly impossible for the country to meet its funding needs on the open market. However, investors warned that pressure in the euro zone is likely to persist given key uncertainties about the rescue package. Western Digital stock surges more than 8% after the hard-disk drive maker reports a higher quarterly profit, but investors are cool toward shares of Microsoft and Amazon.
Among stocks to watch, Microsoft (MSFT 30.92, -0.04, -0.13%) declined 1.4%. The company's quarterly profit rose 35%, largely due to sales of the latest version of its Windows operating system, but investors grew concerned over a lower-than-expected figure on total deferred revenue. Travelers (TRV 53.00, -0.38, -0.71%) slipped 0.8% as an improvement in investment income at the insurer was offset by a spike in catastrophe costs tied to snowstorms on the U.S. East Coast and the earthquake in Chile. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,530, +11.08, +0.44%) rose 0.4%, held in check by a 4.3% decline in Amazon.com (AMZN 143.83, +0.20, +0.14%) after the retailer posted strong first-quarter earnings accompanied by cautious guidance for the current quarter. Treasury prices fell. The benchmark 10-year note (UST10Y 3.81, +0.04, +0.98%) was off 11/32 to yield 3.821%.

AT&T T $26.25 -0.02 0.08% 27,977,803 NYSE: Sat. AJC pA10 "Phone books near extinction" by Margaret Newkirk says the Ga. Public Service Comm. voted to let AT&T stop delivering residential phone books automatically in Marietta and Gwinnett County.
