WSJ pC5 "Blue chips make it 2 in a row" by Seve Russolillo says stocks notched a 2nd straight day of gains led by the ind'l tech sectors as Europe's sovereign debt crisis kept the advance in check. GE led the blue chips rising 40 cents. Intel gained 48 cents. Cisco rose 26 cents even as its growth projections struck a more conservative tone.

Coca Cola Enterprises, the European arm of Coke jumped 4% as investors reacted favourably to ana analyst day in Paris.

NYT pB7 "Fears ease in France & Shares edge higher" & USA Today p4B "Market relaxes as European debt crisis calms down" by Bloomberg says stocks rose Tues ending the S&P higher for a 2nd day as French banks eased concerns over their access to funding & investors watched for signs of progress in taming Europe's debt crisis.

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. Wed's trailing P/E ratio is 12.89 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.34 (year ago it was 14.20); today's P/E estimate is 11.50 unchanged from Tues's P/E estimate of 11.50 (year ago it was 12.53), and today's dividend yield is 2.77 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.78 (last year it was 2.68). 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 1,467.41 up 5.91 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,461.50. 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 $48.91 up 0.19 from Monday's average closing price of $48.72. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.30 (AXP/HD) up $0.36 from Monday's median closing price of $39.94. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $48.91 -0.05 0.1% 4,014,557 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC 6.985 -0.065 0.92% 203,155,172 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 made $591 ($146,741 - $146,150).

MarketWatch Tuesday 9/13/11 3:43 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose as the session neared its end on Tuesday, with Wall Street on the lookout for signs that Europe would contain its debt crisis. After rising as much as 77 points and falling as much as 73.60 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was more recently up 29.25 points to 11,090.37. In Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed optimism that European leaders would resolve Finland’s objections to rescue measures for Greece. “Right now you have to think about Greece as a binary event, like a biotech company in phase three development, they are either going to make it or they are not, and it’s up to Germany,” said Arthur Hogan, head of product strategy, equity research at Lazard Capital Markets. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 8.60 points to 1,170.87, with industrials faring best and energy companies the worst performers among its 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 30.94 points at 2,526.13. For every stock falling nearly two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 750 million shares traded by 3:30 p.m. Eastern. The Labor Department reported U.S. import prices fell 0.4% in August, mainly on lower energy costs, along with a decline in prices for food and materials. The data showing less inflationary pressure potentially offer the Federal Reserve added space for more stimulus moves to bolster the economy. Best Buy Co Inc.’s shares shed 7.6% after the consumer electronics chain reported quarterly results short of Wall Street’s expectations. On Tuesday, oil prices climbed ahead of data expected to illustrate a second weekly drop in U.S. supplies of crude, with the futures contract for October delivery gaining $2.02 to $90.21 a barrel. Gold also gained in New York, up $16.80 to $1,830.10 an ounce. Wall Street ended higher on Monday after reports that Italy’s finance minister had met with a Chinese delegation to talk about buying Italian bonds.
