The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,457.47 down 19.07 points or 0.17% from Tuesday's close of 11,476.54. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $93.12 +1.03 1.12% 8,265,019 NYSE and percentage-wise was Coke KO $64.74 +0.84 1.31% 12,952,373 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $144.72 -1.10 0.75% 4,387,652 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $13.96 -0.24 1.69% 16,521,613 NYSE.

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 is 14.63 up from Tuesday's P/E of 14.57 (year ago it was 18.13); the P/E estimate is 13.34 unchanged from Tuesday's 13.34 (year ago it was 16.19) and the dividend yield is 2.50 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.65). 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 1,513.87 down 2.52 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,516.39. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.46 down $0.09 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $50.55.

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 loste $252 ($151,639 - $151,387)

MarketWatch Wednesday 12/15/10 4:29 pm Donna Yesalavich says US stocks fell slightly Wednesday as investors fretted over euro-zone finances after Moody's Investors Service said it may downgrade its ratings on Spanish government debt, but encouraging U.S. economic data limited the decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 19.07 points, or 0.17%, to 11457.47, a day after the measure reached its highest close since September 2008. Alcoa was the measure's worst performer with a 1.7% drop, while J.P. Morgan Chase fell 1.4% and General Electric shed 1.1%.
The Nasdaq Composite lost 10.50, or 0.40%, to 2617.22. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index shed 6.36, or 0.51%, to 1235.23. The euro slipped after Moody's said it may downgrade its ratings on Spanish government debt and Standard and Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings outlook on Belgium to negative from stable. The warnings added to investors' worries over the euro zone even as U.S. data showed New York manufacturing activity roared ahead this month after contracting in November, while U.S. industrial production staged a modest rebound in November following a brief drop-off. Capacity utilization bounced back as well. "We seem to be getting better as an economy while you cannot say the same thing about the European economy, especially the affected countries," said Peter Tuz, president at Chase Investment Counsel. In issuing its warning on Spain, Moody's cited the country's challenging refinancing needs next year and a complicated outlook for the country's banks and regional governments. The lowered outlook from S&P on Belgium came as the ratings agency warned that if the country fails to form a government within six months, it could possibly face a one-notch downgrade. Also in the euro zone, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said European leaders will approve a permanent facility to rescue financially stressed governments on Thursday, but again opposed a plan for collective government-debt issuance. Irish lawmakers voted Wednesday to accept EUR67.5 billion in loans from the European Union and International Monetary Fund as part of a EUR85 billion package to shore up Ireland's banks and public finances. Still, investors are thinking, "any bailouts over there, is that really a positive thing?" said Stephen Carl, head equity trader at The Williams Capital Group. "It's just kind of a temporary Band-Aid." Among stocks in focus, U.S. shares of Novartis climbed 5.7%. The company paved the way to take full control of Alcon after sweetening its original share offer with a cash component, ending a drawn-out battle to acquire the remaining 23% of the U.S. eye-care company it doesn't own for a total value of $12.9 billion. Alcon added 1%. Goldman Sachs fell 1.3% and Morgan Stanley shed 1.6% after some Wall Street analysts cut fourth-quarter earnings estimates on the investment banks, citing lower-than-expected trading volumes in fixed income, currencies, and commodities.
