WSJ pC5 "Blue Chips stage 5th straight loss" by Brendan Conway says a stock market rally evaporated late in the session as investors fixated on DC's debt ceiling impasse, overshadowing better than expected jobs data. AT&T let blue chip decliners as it shed 70 cents. Exxon sank $1.85after posting a lower than expected rise in 2Q profit & is charted under Bad News while Cisco rose 32 cents and is charted under Good News after Goldman Sachs upgraded it to a Buy. Microsoft rose 39 cents.
Fin Times p20 "Sprint Nextel leads S&P telecoms sector lower on disappointing data" by Johanna Kassel says US stocks were mainly lower on Thurs on continuing uncertainty that policy makers would reach a deal on the debt ceiling in time to avoid possible US default. Exxon announced earnings per share of $2.18 below expectations. The materials sector fared better on the S&P led by DuPont and Dow Chemical. AT&T fell 2.3%, the Dow's worst performer and Verizon lost 1.5% on Sprint Nextel's reported loss.
Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Reversal wipes out most of early gains" by Paul Whitfield says solid gains in the major indexes Thurs morning crumbled to slight gains & outright losses by the close. Thursday's action was indexes reverse lower and the current outlook is the market is in correction.
NYT pB8 "Dow retreats for a 5th day as debt stances feed anxiety" by Chris Hauser says stocks closed mostly lower failing to hold on to early gains as investors maneuvered into position ahead of an expected vote on a Republican proposal for the debt ceiling.
USA Today p6B "Debt debate erases stock gains from drop in jobless claims" by Bloomberg says stocks fell dragging the S&P index lower for a 4th session, as lawmakers said they were no closer to reaching an agreement to increase the debt ceiling & avoid default.
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. Friday's closing trailing P/E ratio is 13.91 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.08 (year ago it was 14.38); today's P/E estimate is 12.75 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.75 (year ago it was 12.59), and today's dividend yield is 2.47 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.46 (last year it was 2.66). 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 1,617.28 down 8.25 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,625.53. 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 Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Tuesday'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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.91 down 0.27 from Wednesday's average closing price of $54.18. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.65 (AXP/JPM) down 0.01 from Wednesday's median closing price of $45.66. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $55.5 -0.77 1.37% 3,061,326 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.78 +0.10 1.03% 99,024,481 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 $825 ($162,553 - $161,728).
MarketWatch Thursday 7/28/11 4:13 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed lower Thursday after deepening worries that a Congressional gridlock would lead to a U.S. debt default overshadowed some positive economic reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 62.44 points, or 0.5%, to 12,240.11, with Exxon Mobil Corp. weighing the most after the oil giant's quarterly profits were curtailed by low natural-gas prices. It was the Dow's fifth straight session of losses. The S&P 500 lost 4.22 points, or 0.3%, to 1,300.67. The Nasdaq Composite ended up 1.46 points, or 0.1%, to 2,766.25.
