A read of Thursday's issues of Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga) yielded the following stories about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 component companies and the Dow with stories about the Dow aggregated first and then items about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 companies presented alphabetically, followed by symbol and Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 10,378.83 down 265.42 or 2.49% from Tuesday's close of 10,644.25. For the year the Dow is done 0.47%.

Firm with global exposure like Alcoa, Boeing and Caterpillar also weighed heaving falling 6.1%, 4.4% and 3.8% respectively. Cisco Systems added to the downbeat mood afer hours, tumbling more than 8% after reporting disappointing earnings and uttering glum remarks on the sentiment of its customers.

WSJ pC5 "Dow's 30 members all lost" by Donna Yesalavich says blue chip heavy weights Alcoa, Boeing and Caterpillar led broad declines in US stocks as signs of weakening growth in China exacerbated fears about a global slowdown.

Fin Times pA20 "Materials & energy decline on back of weak Chinese data" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks dropped yesterday after the Fed Res lowered its outlook for economic growth on Tues and weaker Chinese manufacturing data raised question about the pace of recovery. The S&P Energy sector was down 2.9% with oil firms Exxon falling 1.8%, Chevron declining 2.4% and Conoco-Phllips sliding 2.4%. The S&P 500 Financials sector also suffered, closing down 3.6% led by Hartford Financial down 7.5%, Bank of America down 3.2% and JP Morgan down 3.6%. Shares in Walt disney fell 3% in spite of reporting better than expected earnings.

USA Today p4B "Markets plummet amid economic fears" by Bloomberg says stocks dropped the most in 3 weeks Wed as equities retreated from Tokyo to Moscow London amid speculation the Fed Res's stimulus plan indicates the economic recovery is in jeopardy.

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 is 0.132129493, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.01 down from Wednesday's 14.40 (year ago it was 15.13) the P/E estimate is 12.80 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.80 (year ago it was 14.75) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 up from Wednesday's 2.62 (it was 3.05 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 1,371.74 down 35.32 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,406.42. 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 735.32 for Wednesday by the divisor 0.132129493) you get the decrease in Wednesday's Dow of 35.32. 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 $45.71 down $1.17 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.88. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.39 down $1.30 from Tuesday's median price of $41.69. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $84.01 -3.10 3.56% 3,859,270 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.17 -0.46 3.37% 160,758,893 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 lost $3,507 ($140,642 - $137,135).

MarketWatch 8/11/10 Wed. 4:07 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks were clobbered Wednesday, with the Dow industrials tallying their biggest single-day loss since June 29, as Wall Street fretted about the economic recovery in the wake of the Federal Reserve's stimulus plan the prior day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,379, -265.42, -2.49%) fell 265.42 points, or 2.5%, to 10,378.83. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,089, -31.59, -2.82%) declined 31.56 points, or 2.8%, to 1,089.50.
