A read of Friday's 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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 10,948.584.72 down 19.07 or 0.17% from Wednesday's close of 10,9967.65. For the year the Dow is up 4.99%.

WSJ pC6 "Stocks slide as eyes turn to jobs" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks slipped Thurs on concerns that upcoming quarterly earnings reports and monthly jobs data might disappoint. Better than expected employment & retail sales numbers limited the decline. Alcoa led the Dow's drop with a decline of 17 cents ahead of its 3Q earnings report. The shares rose 2.2% in after hours trading after Alcoa's earnings & rev beat analyst projections. Nasdaq got a jump after Adobe Systems was reported to be in secret meetings with Microsoft CEO Seve Ballmer.

Fin Times p24 "Teen retailers lifted as back to school sales beat forecasts" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks edged lower in spite of initial jobless claims unexpectedly falling to their lowest level in 3 months & Sept retail sales beating expectations.

NYT pB6 "Shares edge lower ahead of jobs report" by AP says stocks edged lower Thurs backing away from early gains as uncertainty built up ahead of a crucial report on the labor market.

USA Today p4B "Stocks fall back as earnings disappoint" by Bloomberg says stocks mostly fell Thurs as mining and energy firms sank amid weaker commodity prices and PepsiCo & Marriott issued disappointing earnings news.

As of the open of the market Friday, 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 14.77 down from Thursday's P/E ratio of 14.80 (year ago it was 15.84) the P/E estimate is 12.84 down from Thursday's P/E estimate of 13.01 (year ago it was 15.32) and the current dividend yield is 2.58 up from Thursday's yield of 2.57 (it was 2.87 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,446.62 down 2.52 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,449.14. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.22 down 0.08 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.30. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.17 (HPQ/JPM). The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.61 -0.21 0.4% 2,208,606 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.31 -0.08 0.6% 111,264,036 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $252 ($144,914 - $144,662).

MarketWatch 10/7/10 Thursday 4:25 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished Thursday’s session lower, as investors treaded cautiously at the outset of earnings season and a day ahead of a key September jobs report that might determine whether more monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve is on the way. “All eyes are on tomorrow’s jobs report with investors looking for some improvement,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group.

After rising to within a few points of the psychologically significant 11,000 level, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,949, -19.07, -0.17%) ended off 19.07 points, or 0.2%, at 10,948.58.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,384, +3.01, +0.13%) , however, finished slightly higher, gaining 3.01 points, or 0.1%, to 2,383.67. Decliners edged past advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume totaled 916 million. The dollar rebounded against the euro, which had pushed to a new eight-month high above $1.40 after European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet’s remarks were deemed not excessively bearish. The dollar index (DXY 77.43, +0.04, +0.06%) , which contrasts the greenback with six currency rivals, stood at 77.458, up from its 77.397 level in late New York trade Wednesday. Crude-oil futures fell $1.56 to finish at $81.67 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while gold futures fell $12.70 to end at $1,335 an ounce. The weekly jobless-claims data came a day before the release of the government’s monthly employment report, with economists expecting the unemployment rate to climb to 9.7% in September from 9.6% in August. Hot Stocks: Retailers rally Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters and Crocs are each up at least 6% after most retailers report higher same-store sales. Retailers including Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF 42.03, +3.44, +8.91%) and Limited Brands Inc. (LTD 28.64, +1.05, +3.81%) reported better-than-anticipated monthly sales.
