Fin Times p26 "Rally falters afer unexpected fall in employment" by Hannah Kuchler says the US stock rally faltered after data showed that the number of people in work fell unexpectedly in Sept.

NYT pB12 "Market finds little reason to r ally after big rise on Tues" by Christine Hauser says stocks were mixed on Wed after a private sector jobs report renewe concerns about he pace of the economic recovery, particularly in the labor market.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,449.14 up 3.2 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,446.12. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in today's Dow. 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 $48.30 up 0.10 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.205. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.38 (HPQ/AXP) down $0.17 from Tuesday's median closing price of $39.55. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.82- 0.05 0.09% 2,484,008 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.39 -0.17 1.25% 150,480,596 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 $302 ($144,914 - $144,612).

MarketWatch 10/6/10 Wednesday 5:01 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks mostly fell Wednesday, with only the Dow industrials managing a modest gain, after downgrades hit the technology sector and disappointing jobs Stocks had surged to five-month highs in the prior session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,968, +22.93, +0.21%) closed up 22.93 points, or 0.2%, to 10,967.65 after bouncing between small gains and losses for most of the session. Nineteen of the Dow’s 30 components closed higher, led by a 2.4% gain in shares of General Electric Co. (GE 16.92, +0.02, +0.12%) The Nasdaq Composite Index /(COMP 2,381, -19.17, -0.80%) fell 19.17 points, or 0.8%, to 2,380.66. Software stocks and those that service companies’ data-storage needs dropped sharply after Equinix Inc. (EQIX 70.33, -0.01, -0.01%) warned on its revenue outlook, prompting analysts at Oppenheimer, Citigroup and Wells Fargo to cut ratings on the provider of data-center hosting services. Read more on sell-off in data-center stocks.
Equinix shares fell 33%. On the S&P 500, the six worst decliners were tech stocks, led by a 14% drop in Citrix Systems Inc. (CTXS 60.24, +0.09, +0.15%) shares, a 7.9% drop in Salesforce.com (CRM 104.40, -0.55, -0.52%) and a 7.7% tumble in RedHat Inc. shares. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,160, -0.78, -0.07%) closed down 0.8 point, or 0.1%, to 1,159.97, with telecommunications and technology the hardest hit among its 10 industry sectors. “The ADP jobs survey came up short of expectations and reinforced the bull run on Treasurys, while undermining confidence on stocks, compounded by a downgrade in the semiconductor sector,” said analysts at Action Economics. The iPhone is finally coming to the Verizon wireless network as Apple gears up to produce a CDMA version of its popular smartphone that will be available in the first quarter of next year.
Ahead of Wall Street’s start, stock futures turned lower after payrolls processor ADP reported private employers trimmed 39,000 jobs in September, the first decline in seven months. The decline, which ran counter to expectations for an increase, was offset in part by ADP’s upward revision to its August count for private-sector payrolls. Treasury prices gained as yields fell to their lowest level after the ADP report. Morgan Stanley downgraded recommendations on Xilinx Inc. (XLNX 25.55, -0.16, -0.63%) and Altera Corp. (ALTR 29.22, -0.08, -0.27%) shares, saying a recent trip to Asia had led to expect decelerating chip orders from this market. Read more in tech stocks. Among Dow stocks, GE announced a $3 billion deal to buy engine manufacturer Dresser Inc. and said it would purchase $1.6 billion in retail credit assets from Citigroup Inc. (C 4.11, +0.01, +0.24%) GE also said Britain’s Wellstream Holdings PLC (UK:WSM 764.00, -16.00, -2.05%) had spurned a $1.2 billion takeout offer. Also supporting the Dow’s rise, Alcoa Inc. /(AA 12.39, +0.02, +0.16%) rose 1.9% ahead of the aluminum maker reporting quarterly results on Thursday in the unofficial start of the earnings season. For every four stocks on the rise roughly five were falling on the New York Stock Exchange, where 981 million shares traded hands. The Japanese yen hit a 15-year high versus the dollar, with the greenback’s weakness a factor (DXY 77.43, -0.32, -0.42%) as crude-oil futures finished above $83 a barrel, and gold ended at a record high, nearing $1,350 an ounce. While feeding bearish sentiment, the ADP report also bolstered the notion that the Federal Reserve might be moved to take additional steps to stoke the embattled U.S. recovery. The Fed, which already has U.S. interest rates near zero, might announce further purchases of government bonds when it concludes a policy-setting meeting early next month. The ADP report comes two days before the Labor Department’s monthly payrolls report. On Thursday, dozens of retailers report September sales figures, with upscale retailers Saks Inc. (SKS 8.63, -0.07, -0.80%) and Nordstrom Inc. (JWN 37.54, -0.23, -0.61%) among those analysts expect to report rises in same-store sales of as much as 5%. Further out, the National Retail Federation expects retail sales in the upcoming holiday shopping season to climb 2.3% this year, with the increase tepid compared to the 10-year average of 2.5%, but far better than last year’s 0.4% increase and the 3.9% decline tallied in 2008.
