As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 14.97 down from Tuesday's 15.18 (year ago it was 12.12) the P/E estimate is 12.90 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.90 (year ago it was 13.73) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 up from Monday's 2.65 (it was 3.47 a year ago).

WSJ pC1 "Late Decline Drains 148.89 From the Dow" by Peter McKay says stocks succumbed to a late day selloff as weak housing data and a sldie in energy stocks drove the broader market lower, led by declines in Chevron of 2.3% and a 1.9% in Exxon Mobil.
WSJ pC5 "Court Battle Bruises Oil Stocks" by Donna Yesalavich says energy stocks led US stocks broadly lower after the White House vowed to appeal a judge's decision to block the six month moratorium on new deepwater drilling projects. Alcoa was the dow's worst perform with a drop of 3.7% while Caterpillar declined 3% and Home Depot fell 2.6% hurt by an unexpected drop in existing home sales. Chevron and Exxon dropped as the energy sector slumped one xpectations of legal wrangling between the industry and the Obama admin over the deep water drilling moratorium. a fed judge in La. Tues ruled against the ban, but the White House responded by saying it would immediately appeal the injunction.
Fin Times pB23 "Housebuildres hit after disappointing news on home sales" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks closed lower yesterday as worse than expected exisitn g home sales figures set a bearish tone to the session, with the energy sector performing worst.
NYT pB9 "Shares Slide on Weakness in Energy" by Christine Hauser says stock prices fell sharly on Tues on renewed worries about the housing market and weakness in energy shares after the Obama admin said it would appeal a rulng by a fed judge blocking a moratorium on deep water drilling.
USA Today p4B "Faltering home sales weigh on stocks" by Bloomberg says stocks suffered their biggest loss in 3 weeks as home sales dropped and the S&P 500 Index slipped for a second day below chart levels monitored by analysts.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,362.03 down 19.7 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,381.73. 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 decrease of 19.7 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of 148.89. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.40 down .66 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.06. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.14 down up 0.60 from Monday's median price of $40.74.

If Tuesday 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 lost $1,980 ($138,180 - $136,200).
