A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, 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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,020.03 down 25.65 or 0.21% from Wednesday's close of 12,045.88. For the year the Dow is up 3.82%.

WSJ pC4 "When timing is everything" by Jonathan Cheng, WSJ pC4 "Blue Chips take a breather, snap a 3 day win streak" by Brendan Conway say blue chip stocks snapped the winning streak after the biggest one day advance since Mar '09. A weaker than expected weekly report on jobless claims helped set a cautious tone ahead of Fri's monthly jobs report. Pledges by euro zone leaders to tighten fiscal integration & save the common currency did little to sustain the week's rally. Fin'l stocks weer the weakest performers after Mass. AG sued five nat'l mortgage lenders for unlawful foreclosures. JPMorgan one of the targets fell 51 cents.

Fin Times p26 "Nov figures send retailers spinning in different directions" by Ajay Makan says Nov sales data sent department store stocks spinning in different directions, though analysts were reasonably upbeat about overall trends.

NYT pB6 "Pessimism precedes a crucial jobs report" by Bloomberg, USA Today p4B "Markets backslide a bit the day after seeing massive gain" by Bloomberg say stocks were mostly lower on Thurs as better than forecast manufacturing growth & a rally in French & Spanish bonds were not enough to extend a three day gain in the S&P and Dow. Aloca lost 2.1% as commodities retreated. Equities reversed gains as JPMorgan and Bank of America were among five banks sued by Mass for unlawful foreclosures.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks quiet as street awaits jobs data" by Paul Whitfield says stocks showed smooth digestive action Thur in the wake of the previous day's big gains, closing narrowly mixed in quiet trading. The current outlook is the market is in a correction.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.00 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.03 (year ago it was 14.49); Friday's P/E estimate is 11.55 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 11.55 (year ago it was 12.95), and today's dividend yield is 2.62 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.61 (last year it was 2.52). 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 1,588.20 down 3.41 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,591.61. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.94 down $0.11 from Wednesday's average closing price of $53.05. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.53 (DD/VZ) down $0.20 from Wednesday's median closing price of $42.73. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $76.58 -0.02 0.03% 2,713,235 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.53 +0.09 1.65% 313,455,898 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 $341 ($159,150 - $159,150).

MarketWatch Thursday 12/1/11 4:43 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Thursday tilted lower after the prior day’s surge as Wall Street turned wary before Friday’s November jobs report and after claims for unemployment benefits rose last week. “It’s nice to consolidate some gains as it’s been such a huge week so far for the markets. Claims were okay, but back over 400,000 again, which cast a little bit of a shadow over what tomorrow’s report might bring,” said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial in Boston. U. .S. stocks fell slightly a day after a blowout rally, as U.S. jobless claims rose unexpectedly and China reported weak manufacturing data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 25.65 points, or 0.2%, to 12,020.03, with 20 of its 30 components losing ground. The S&P 500 Index shed 2.37 points , or 0.2%, at 1,244.59 with financial firms the heaviest weight and technology the best performing of its 10 major sectors.
The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 5.86 points, or 0.2%, to 2,626.20.
Shares of Yahoo Inc. rose 3.3% on reports that a private-equity backed group might make a bid for the search engine. Decliners remained just ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 856 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.8 billion. On Wednesday, composite volume on the Nyse neared 5.8 billion shares, the largest volume day since Oct. 27. “It was nice to see some conviction in a big day,” said Kleintop. Stocks rallied more than 4% Wednesday, which Kleintop noted was the 11th strongest day, volume-wise, in what has overall been a low-volume year. ‘We got the shock and today’s the aww, spelled a-w-w.’ The Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index on Thursday fell under 30 for a second day, signaling the level of market anxiety has declined, said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading at Charles Schwab. “This is a really low level for the VIX on a short-term basis,” in other words, in looking at the past four months, said Frederick, who believes Wednesday’s action by global central banks was “what the markets have been looking for.” The Institute for Supply Management’s factory index climbed to 52.7 in November from 50.8 the month before and the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits last week topped 400,000 after three weeks of coming in below that level. “The economic data in the U.S. continue to hang in well and hopefully it continues but we realistically can’t ignore the growing credit crunch in Europe as we enter 2012 and what spill over impact that will have on everyone else,” Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, wrote in emailed commentary. Spain and France sold 8.1 billion euros ($10.9 billion) in bonds Thursday, pushing yields down. Wall Street’s retreat on Thursday comes “in the context of a 500-point rally yesterday and as we’re staring into the face of the nonfarm payrolls number tomorrow, so investors are willing to sit on their hands for 24 hours,” said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners in Chicago. Read preview of jobs data. “We got the shock and today’s the aww, spelled a-w-w” said Nolte of the slide that followed the jump that came Wednesday after the Federal Reserve and five other central banks joined in lowering the cost for lenders to borrow in dollars. Wall Street’s surge Wednesday had the Dow industrials up nearly 500 points in its largest leap in more than two years after the central banks’ coordinated move.
