WSJ pC1 "Dow's streak stretches to 7" by Jonathan Cheng says the Dow squeezed out a small gain in the face of discouraging retai sales figures & a Fed. Res. downgrade of the economic outlook. The 2 combined to offset positive momentum generated by a strong start to the 2Q earnings season. Fin'l stocks were the weakest sector, with JPMorgan off 0.3% a day ahead of its earnings report.
WSJ pC5 "Microsoft, Cisco, H-P Intel Gain" by Donna Yesalavich says a strong earnings report from Intel boosted US blue hip stocks Wed extending the Dow's winning streak to seven sessions.

WSJ p4B "Stocks mixed on Fed's softened outlook" by Bloomberg says most US stocks fell Wed, halting a 6 session rally as a drop in retail sales and the Fed Res's assessment that the economic outlook has softened overshadowed Intel's forecast for record profit. Home Depot, American Express and Alcoa led losses in the Dow average as minutes from the Fed's last meeting showed policymakers saw no need to boost economic stimulus even as they trimmed growth.
NYT pB9 "Markets finish flat after Fed's report" by Christine Hauser says major indexes ended largely unchanged Wed as investors took note of a report that the econoic recovery was likely to be slower than expected.
Fin Times p26 "Weak retail sales figures threaten bullish sentiment" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks closed mostly flat yesterday afer a 6 day winning streak, in spite of a relatively strong start to the earnings season, as a report showed that retail sales had fallen more than expected last month.
As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal changed to 0.132129493 from 0.132319125, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.86 down from Wednesday's 15.05 (year ago it was 12.76) the P/E estimate is 12.51 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.51 (year ago it was 13.00) and the current dividend yield is 2.68 unchanged from Wednesday's 2.68 (it was 3.33 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,371.71 up 0.49 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1371.22. 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 0.49 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the increase in Wednesday's Dow of 3.7. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.72 up 0.01 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.71. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.03 down 0.30 from Tuesday's median price of $42.33. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.05 -0.50 0.6% 3,088,885 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.67 unch unch 114,299,596 NYSE.
If Wednesday 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 $30 ($137,160 - $137,130 - 135,181).
MarketWatch 7/14/10 Wednes. 45:01 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed with slight gains Wednesday, with the Dow industrials just managing to extend their recent winning streak, as an upbeat forecast from Intel Corp. vied with more disconcerting views on the U.S. economy from retailers and the Federal Reserve.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,367, +3.70, +0.04%) ended up 3.7 points, or 0.04%, to 10,366.72 for its seventh straight session of gains. Out of 30 components, 14 ended higher. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,095, -0.17, -0.02%) fell 0.17 point, or 0.02%, to 1,095.17, dragged lower by financial stocks. Technology fared the best among the index's 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index /(COMP 2,250, +7.81, +0.35%) rose 7.81 points, or 0.4%, to 2,249.84, with the tech-heavy index bolstered by Intel's earnings and sales forecast. Late Tuesday, the world's largest chip maker reported it swung to a profit that topped analysts' expectations and gave a stronger sales forecast. Weighing on sentiment, the Commerce Department said that U.S. retail sales fell 0.5% in June. And minutes from the Fed's last policy-setting meeting showed central bank officials downgraded their expectations for economic growth. For most of the choppy trading day, tech powered gains. A quartet of technology stocks -- Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO 23.74, +0.65, +2.82%) , Intel Corp. (INTC 21.40, +0.04, +0.19%) , Microsoft Corp.(MSFT 25.50, +0.06, +0.24%) and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 47.34, +0.57, +1.22%) -- led advancers on the Dow industrials. Intel (INTC 21.40, +0.04, +0.19%) shares ended up 1.7%. Stocks made minor gains and losses for much of the session, with investors appearing reluctant to make big moves ahead of the next round of earnings. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 40.32, -0.03, -0.07%) and Google Inc. (GOOG 491.80, +0.46, +0.09%) are two of the companies slated to release results Thursday. Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co., noted that only 23 S&P 500 companies are reporting results this week, with a broader industry spectrum coming in the weeks ahead. For every stock on the rise, more than one was falling on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume exceeded 1 billion.
