A read of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Dailey, 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

The Dow's fin'l components were among its weakest with American Express off 84 cents, Bank of America down 27 cents and JPMorgan Chase down 40 cents. Hewlett-Packard is charted under Good News says there was buz about the naming of its new CEO.

Fin Times p26 "Stocks flat in spite of strong retail & inventories figures" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks were almost flat on Tues after better thane expected retails ales & business inventories daa failed to push the S&P 500 out of its recent trading range.

NYT pB10 "Shares dip slightly despite an uptick in retail sales" by Reuters says stocks changed little even though promising data from the retail sector fed optimism that the economic recovery was slowly proceeding.

USA p6B "Markets mixed on conflicting reports" by AP says the Sept rally paused Teus as optimism about new reports on US retail sales and business inventories clashed with fresh worries about Europe.

Investor's Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks close mixed; retail, techs lead" by Alan Elliott sas the major indexes closed narrowly mixed Tues as the market slowed its recent ascents.

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 0.132129493, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.20 down from Tuesday's 14.23 (year ago it was 15.62) the P/E estimate is 12.53 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.53 (year ago it was 15.35) and the current dividend yield is 2.68 up from Tuesday's 2.67 (it was 2.95 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,390.86 down 2.33 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,393.19. 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 2.33 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of 17.64. 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 $46.36 down .08 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.44. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.55 (AXP/JPM) down 0.62 from Monday's Dow Jones median price of 41.17. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.63 -0.23 0.27% 3,318,233 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.68 -0.27 1.94% 139,541,875 NYSE.

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 $233 ($139,319 - $139,086).

MarketWatch 9/13/10 Monday 4:55 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished mostly lower on Tuesday, ending a four-session winning streak, as investors mulled recent gains in light of mixed economic reports, including better-than-expected U.S. retail sales and a disappointing survey in Germany. A Goldman Sachs forecast that the Federal Reserve might purchase $1 trillion worth of Treasurys also fueled demand for the safe-haven assets. "Trees don't grow to the sky. We've had a pretty good run," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co., of the market's struggle to hold modest gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,526, -17.64, -0.17%) fell 17.64 points, or 0.2%, to end at 10,526.49, weighed down by more than 2% drops in shares of both American Express (AXP 40.34, -0.04, -0.10%) and Boeing /quotes/comstock/13*!ba/quotes/nls/ba (BA 62.83, +0.07, +0.11%) . Fourteen of the blue-chip companies' stocks still rose or ended flat, with Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 39.33, +0.04, +0.10%) rising the most, up 2.6%. The S&P 500 index (SPX 1,121, -0.80, -0.07%) lost 0.8 point, or 0.1%, to 1,121.10, weighed down by the financials sector, off 1%. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,290, +4.06, +0.18%) rose 4.06 points, or 0.2%, to 2,289.77. The Commerce Department reported U.S. retail sales climbed 0.4% in August in the best monthly gain in five, helping offset worries about the economy. Adding to the upbeat data, Best Buy Co. (BBY 36.70, -0.03, -0.08%) shares climbed 6% after the world's largest electronics chain reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit and raised its 2010 outlook. Read more about Best Buy's quarterly report. "We can safely say that the reported death of the American consumer has certainly been exaggerated" as noted by retail sales and Best Buy, said Hogan. Nearly eight shares fell for every seven on the rise at the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 924 million shares traded. Still, in Europe, a widely followed German economic indicator fell short of expectations, dimming enthusiasm for the European Union's biggest economy. And the Goldman Sachs report, meanwhile, led investors to remain cautious. Treasury prices rose and gold futures hit a new settlement high, with the contract for December delivery rising $24.60 to end at $1,271.70 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
