WSJ pC5 "McKesson and Kraft advance" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks rose as encouraging forecasts from Kraft and Mckesson boosted investors' expectations of how the corp. sector is faring in the weak economy. Kraft was among the Dow's best performer as it said it expects sales from its chocolate business to jump to $10 bil by '13.
Fin Times p26 ""Upbeat Kraft whets appetites with tasty rev forecast" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks nudged up after gains for the health care & consumer staples sectors outweighed concerns about a slowdown in manufacturing growth in the NY region.
Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks add to gains in quiet session" by Paul Whitfield says stocks tacked on moderate gains WEd as the market fought back from an early sell off.
NYT pB14 "Wall St's Sept rally continues" by AP says stocks overcame an early slide Wed and closed higher as investors kept a Sept. rally alive.
USA Today p4B "Stocks dip but finish the day higher" by Stephen Bernard says stocks overcame an early slide Wed and closed higher as investors tried to keep a Sept rally alive.

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 14.26 up from Wednesday's 14.20 (year ago it was 15.80) 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 2.67 down from Wednesday's 2.68 (it was 2.89 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 1,396.96 up 6.10 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,390.86. 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 6.10 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Wednesday's Dow of 46.2. 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 $46.57 up 0.21 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.36. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.91 (JPM/AXP) up 0.36 from Tuesday's Dow Jones median price of 41.55. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.58 -0.05 0.06% 2,175,835 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.71 +0.03 0.22% 134,073,813 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 $611 ($139,697 - $139,086).
MarketWatch 9/15/10 Tuesday 4:36 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks resumed their September advance on Wednesday, after Japan’s intervention to sell yens boosted the dollar while doing little to stem the return of risk taking in markets since early September. “Technically it remains a lot of chop trade with an upside bias,” said John Brady, a senior vice president at MF Global. “With dividends at 68 companies higher than 3.8%, the yield of the 30-year bond, equities remain attractive,” Brady added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,573, +46.32, +0.44%) rose 46.24 points to 10,572.73. Twenty-three of its 30 components gained, led by insurer Travelers Companies Inc. (TRV 52.57, +0.08, +0.15%) , up 2.8%. Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 39.66, +0.04, +0.10%) climbed 0.8% one day after Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO 21.65, +0.06, +0.28%) announced its first dividend. (TRV 52.57, +0.08, +0.15%)
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX 1,125, +3.97, +0.35%) gained 3.97 points, or 0.4%, to 1,125.07, with utilities and energy the biggest weights among its 10 sectors. “We may be setting up for another potential run at 1,125 on the S&P 500,” said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,301, +11.55, +0.50%) added 11.55 points to 2,301.32. More than eight shares advanced for every seven falling on the New York Stock Exchange, where a paltry 901 million shares traded. Yen intervention throws markets for a loopJapan intervenes in the currency market to stem the rise of the yen, roiling markets. “The summer malaise has turned into the fall malaise, and investors as a whole don’t seem too excited about the markets,” said Nolte, who noted trading volume remains light, even with the Labor Day holiday now over. Japan’s currency intervention came after the yen climbed to a 15-year high against the U.S. dollar, with the Tokyo government moving to protect the nation’s economic recovery. The dollar jumped 3.2% to 85.69 yen. The U.S. dollar index (DXY 81.44, +0.36, +0.45%) , which contrasts the greenback against half a dozen currency rivals, gained 0.5%.

A second report showed U.S. industrial production rising 0.2% in August, scaling back from a 0.6% increase in July. Read more on industrial production.
