A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,691.18 up 20.43 points or 0.18% from Monday's close of 11,670.75. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 29 gained and 9 declined. For the year the Dow is up 1.07%.

NYT pB11 "Investors pause despite mostly positive results" by AP says a rally taht pushed stocks up nearly 7% in Dec paused Tues as traders shrugged off a pickup in factory orders and sales gains at GM and Ford.

USA Today p4B "Markets mixed as investors pull back" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Tues with the S&P 500 rereating from its highest level since Sept '08, as a stronger dollar hurt prices fo commodities & shares of the firms that produce them.

Inv Bus Daily pA1 Indexes end seeesaw day mildly down in higher trade" by David Saito-Chung says the major indexes declined and volume grew Teus, but steady afernoon buying shaved their losses sharply. The current outlook is that the market is in an confirmed uptrend.

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 14.91 up from Tuesday's 14.88 (year ago it was 18.34); the P/E estimate is 13.65 unchanged from Tuesday's 13.65 (year ago it was 16.40), and the dividend yield is 2.46 unchanged from Tuesday's 2.46 (last year it was 2.59). 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 1,544.75 up 2.7 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,542.05. 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 7.57 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.49 up $0.09 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $51.40. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.79 (AXP/HPQ up $0.60 from Monday's median closing price of $43.72. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.67 -0.12 0.14% 2,627,396 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.24 +0.05 0.35% 217,789,684 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 nade $270 ($154,475 -$154,205).

MarketWatch Tuesday 1/4/11 4:45 by Kristina Peterson says U.S. blue-chip stocks edged higher Tuesday after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting showed the central bank registered moderate improvement in the economy and saw no reason to modify its major bond-buying program. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,691, +20.43, +0.18%) rose 20 points, or 0.2%, to close at 11691. Paring earlier losses, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,681, -10.27, -0.38%) fell 0.4% to 2681. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (SPX 1,270, -1.67, -0.13%) shed 0.1% to 1270. Traders said the market felt some relief that the minutes of the Fed’s policy-making committee’s Dec. 14 meeting contained no major surprises.
In the minutes, the central bank said that a stronger U.S. economy is among the reasons behind the rise in government bond yields, which may undermine its efforts to keep the recovery going via low interest rates. In November 2010, the Fed announced a $600 billion bond purchase program, known as “quantitative easing,” or “QE2.” Despite the improvement in the economy, Fed officials “generally felt that the change in the outlook was not sufficient to warrant any adjustments to the asset-purchase program,” the minutes showed. See Fed sets ‘high threshold’ for expanding quantitative easing. Market strategists were encouraged to see the Fed echo what many have characterized as a gradually recovering economy, and relieved to see no major changes to the quantitative easing program, said Bill Vaughn, portfolio manager at Evercore Wealth Management. Investors “certainly would have been worried if there had been a sudden change in policy,” he said. Demand for U.S. Treasurys was mixed after the minutes, with increased interest in the two-year note. But demand fell for the 10-year note, pushing its yield down to 3.34%. Gold fell sharply on portfolio rebalancing and better economic prospects in the U.S. See gold drops 3% in worst one-day slide since July. Crude-oil prices dropped to nearly $89 a barrel, while gold futures reversed the session’s declines to begin a climb. The dollar strengthened against both the yen and the euro. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY 79.43, +0.31, +0.39%) , which tracks the currency against a basket of others, rose 0.4%. Asian inflation may hurt AussieAs Asian central banks start to tackle inflation with higher interest rates, demand for Australian exports could fall, weakening the Australian dollar. Materials weighed on the S&P 500 after UBS cut its stock-investment ratings on two construction aggregate companies to “neutral” from “buy,” noting the stocks’ strong performance in the fourth quarter even as the political appetite for road spending grew more uncertain. Vulcan Materials /(VMC 42.19, +0.05, +0.13%) fell 5.2%, while Martin Marietta Materials (MLM 87.23, +0.25, +0.29%) shed 6.5%. Food retailers also lagged after Bank of Montreal downgraded Safeway (SWY 21.69, +0.05, +0.23%) , Vitamin Shoppe (VSI 31.82, -1.54, -4.62%) and Whole Foods (WFMI 48.91, -0.13, -0.26%) to “market perform” from “outperform,” noting limited upside. Safeway fell 3.4%, Vitamin Shoppe was off 4.6%, and Whole Foods shed 3.4%. BMO also reduced its estimates for Supervalu (SVU 9.04, +0.04, +0.44%) , noting the chain’s inability to drive traffic, and Kroger (KR 21.67, -0.03, -0.14%) , saying the fiscal year 2011 consensus could be too high given the challenging environment. Supervalu tumbled 6.4%, while Kroger lost 1.4%. Morgan Stanley also cut Safeway and Supervalu, to “underweight” from “equal weight,” saying Supervalu’s strategy to reduce prices will collide with inflationary food costs. General Motors (GM 37.93, +0.03, +0.08%) rose 2.3% after its U.S. light-vehicle sales climbed 8% in December thanks to continued strong demand for crossovers and pickups. GM on Tuesday also forecast that U.S. auto sales industrywide will reach 13 million to 13.5 million in 2011 as economic growth picks up and unemployment declines. Meanwhile, the telecommunications sector gained, as shares of Motorola Mobility Holdings (MMI 33.12, +2.88, +9.52%) rose 9.5% and Motorola Solutions (MSI 39.77, +2.46, +6.59%) gained 6.6% as Motorola’s long-awaited split into two entities officially took place Tuesday. Motorola Mobility consists of the company’s consumer-focused smartphone and set-top-box business, while Motorola Solutions focuses on hand-held communication devices and public-safety radios. Among stocks in focus, U.S.-listed shares of BP (BP 46.32, +0.06, +0.13%) rose 2.5%, touching a six-month high following reports that compensation payouts for the Gulf oil spill may be much lower than expected and amid lingering rumors that the company is a takeover target. Borders Group (BGP 0.84, -0.12, -12.51%) plunged 13% after the troubled book retailer’s Counsel Thomas Carney and Chief Information Officer D. Scott Laverty resigned. A unit of closely held Ingram Industries said it would continue to supply books to Borders despite the chain’s difficult financial situation.
Quanta Services (PWR 20.72, -0.16, -0.77%) rose 4.2% after winning a contract valued at $118.5 million by a coalition of Pennsylvania colleges and universities as well as economic development and research and development organizations to install a statewide fiber optic network.
In U.S. economic data on Tuesday, the Commerce Department reported that U.S. factory-goods orders unexpectedly rose 0.7% in November. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast a 0.1% decline.
