Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 10258.99 up 284.54 or 2.85% from Wednesday's close of 9,974.45. For the year the Dow is down1.62% Of the 30 Dow Companies: 29 gained and 1 declined.

American Express also jumped, boosted by an analyst's upgrade. Fin'ls benefited as fears eased over Europe's debt woes. Bank of America rose 4.65, J.P. Morgan Chse rose 4.2% and Amex rose 5.7% after Sandler O'Neill upgraded it to buy from hold saying the firm's affluent custoemr base is likely more resilient to unemployment. Intel is charted under good news say it posted the biggest gain of the Dow while Johnson & Johnson was under bad news as a congressional hearing was told that the FDA is worried abou the quality control of JNJ.

WSJ pC1 "Risk Revival: Dow Bounces 284.54 Points" by Peter McKay, Kristina Peterson says investors embraced risk again throughout the fin'l markets, pushing stocks to their 2nd best day of the year and boosting the euro and commodities. Oil had its best one day gain since last Sept.

Fin Times p24 "Tiffany results add sparkle to latest corp. earnings" by Masa Serdarevic says storng corp. earnings helped lift US stocks sharply higher yesterday as investors took comfort in signs that the eurozone's fiscal probelms may be easing and shrugged off disappointing employment and macroeconomic data.

NYT pB1 "China Issues Assurances, And Investors Turn Positive" by Christine Hauser, David Jolly says after days of sudden losses and reversals, investors rallied around a rare bit of good news: The Chinese gov dismissed reports that it might pare its European investments given the debt problems gripping Europe.

USA Today p4B "Stocks make U Turn, zoom back up" by AP says stocks had another turnaround Thur and rocketed higher after China said it doesn't plan to sell the European debt it holds.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.92 up from Thursday's 14.50 (year ago it was 42.24) the P/E estimate is 12.45 unchanged from Thursday's 12.45 (year ago it was 23.73) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 down from Thursday's 2.76 (it was 3.65 a year ago). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,357.46 up 37.65 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,319.81. 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 37.65 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the increase in Thursday's Dow of284.54. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.25 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $43.99. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.38 up 1.83 from Wednesday's median price of $38.55. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81.43 +2.26 2.85% 4,553,777 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $16.18 +0.71 4.59% 163,460,301 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $3,780 (135,750 - $131,970).

Market Watch Thur. 5/27/10 at 5:08 by Kate Gibson Godt says US stocks relocated the rally gear Thursday, tracking a rebound in the euro as concerns about Europe's debt crisis ebbed somewhat after China denied reports it would sell euro-bond holdings. After an advance was short-circuited late Wednesday by a Financial Times report that China was considering paring its exposure to European debt, Wall Street resumed its climb after the agency that oversees China's foreign reserves denied the story. The Dow industrials jump more than 200 points, reclaiming 10,000. WSJ's Grainne McCarthy joins the News Hub and tells Simon Constable what's behind the surge. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,259, +284.54, +2.85%) jumped 284.61 points, or 2.9%, to end at 10,258.99 -- its biggest gain since May 10. It's up 0.6% week to date, but remains down 7.1% for the month. Blue-chip gains were led by American Express Co. (AXP 40.21, -0.12, -0.30%) , up 5.7%; Intel Corp.(INTC 21.75, -0.01, -0.05%) , up 5.2%; and Alcoa Inc. (AA 11.80, -0.02, -0.17%) , up 5.1%. All but one of the Dow's 30 components were higher. The sole laggard was Johnson & Johnson (JNJ 58.97, -0.06, -0.10% . Shares of the health-care products company fell 0.2% after a Food and Drug Administration official told a congressional hearing Thursday that the agency is worried about quality control at the company, which last month recalled a liquid children's medicine. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,103, +35.11, +3.29%) rose 35.11, or 3.3%, to 1,103.06, with the broad index closing above the 1,100 mark for the first time since May 19. The S&P is up 1.4% week to date but remains off 7.1% for the month so far. Financials and energy powered the day's gains among the index's 10 industry groups. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude futures climbed above $74 a barrel and gold rose above $1,210 an ounce. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,278, +81.80, +3.73%) rose 81.80 points, or 3.7%, to 2,277.68. The Nasdaq also returned to positive ground for the year. It's up 2.2% for the week so far, but it remains down 7.1% for May. Advancing stocks overran Thursday decliners by a nearly 14 to 1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume topped 1.4 billion. Equities surged even after U.S. economic data had the government revising down to 3% its estimate of growth in the first quarter, and initial jobless claims fell less than hoped last week. BP PLC (BP 44.82, -0.56, -1.23%) rose 7% as the oil giant tried to plug the massive well spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The Los Angeles Times reported that the "top kill" method being used on the damaged well was working, but the company did not confirm the report, saying it expected to have a better indication by the end of the day. Worries about Europe's debt trouble have slammed global markets this month, with investors giving in to concerns about the impact on economic growth.The euro(CUR_EURUSD 1.2302, -0.0058, -0.4692%) , viewed as one measure of confidence in Europe, climbed to $1.236 after a day-earlier drop left it close to the four-year low hit last week.
