A read of Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga - carries Bloomberg) 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 12,263.58 down 117.53 points or 0.95% from Monday's close of 12,381.11. For the year the Dow is up 5.93%. Of the 30 Dow components 7 gained and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise were Procter & Gamble PG $62.9 +0.71 1.14% 10,562,997 NYSE and Walmart WMT $53.53 +0.71 1.34% 12,377,920 NYSE and percentage-wise was Walmart NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $104.36 -3.42 3.17% 11,678,974 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Oil fall dings Exxon: Primerica slips 2.4%" by Jonathan Cheng says investors retreated from stocks, oil & other risky assets as a worsening nuclear situation in Japan & a weak start to the US corp earnings season cast doubt over the global recovery. Energy stocks led the selling as crude oil fell to $106.25 a barrel. Exxon dropped $1.98, while Chevron slid $3.60. Alcoa's shares slumped $1.07 to lead the Dow losers after it reported earnings that topped expectations but rev fell short of forecasts. It is charted under Bad News. Walmart is charted under Good News saying a bonus of higher gas prices as customers do a "stock-up trip" to build up supplies.

Fin Times p24 "Earnings season kicks off to a weak start as Alcoa disappoints" by Michael Stothard says Alcoa tumbled after reporting slower than expected rev growth, while the broader markets were dragged into the red by energy & material stocks as commodity prices slid. As oil prices dropped, the S&P energy sector tumbled 3%. Exxon dropped 2.3% while Chevron slid 3.3%.

Fin Times pA1 "Stocks extend losses; outlook worsens" by Vincent Mao says stocks fell for the 4th straight session Tues as the market's condition worsened. The action was down in mixed volume. The current outlook is an uptrend under pressure.

USA Today p4B "Disappointing news sends stocks down" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Tues sending the S&P lower for a 4th straight session, as Japan raised the security rating of its nuclear crisis to the highest level, oil plunged & Alcoa's sales missed estimates. Chevron dropped $3.60.

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 14.84 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E of 15.04 (year ago it was 17.18); the P/E estimate is 12.73 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.73 (year ago it was 14.00), and the dividend yield is 2.40 up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.37 (last year it was 2.48). 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 1,620.38 down 15.52 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,635.90. 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 7.57 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.01 down 0.52 from Monday's average closing price of $54.53. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.39 (JPM/AXP) down 0.33 from Monday's median closing price of $46.62. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.72 -0.70 1.16% 2,682,130 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.479 -0.011 0.08% 94,805,467 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 lost $1,552 ($163,588 - $162,036).

MarketWatch Tuesday 4/12/1 4:17 by Laura Mandauro says U.S. cratered Tuesday, dragged lower by a 3% drop in energy stocks, as a disappointing sales report from Alcoa, Inc. and a contraction in trade activity dimmed prospects for the U.S. economic recovery.
