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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,449.45 down 13.02 or 0.1% from Tuesday's close of 12,462.47. For the year the Dow is up 1.90%. Of the 30 Dow components 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $182.32 +1.01 0.56% 4,100,423 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.87 +0.24 3.62% 351,725,930 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $107.77 -1.29 1.18% 7,658,090 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $38.7 -0.93 2.35% 16,249,674 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Global fears rattle the Dow" by Jonathan Cheng says stocks finished flat as concerns over a weakening economy in Europe gave investors pause after the market's recent gains. Energy and consumer staple stocks led the Dow's decliners as coke dropped $1.28, Chevron lost 1.29 and Exxon fell 64 cents. Materials & fin'l stocks limited some of the losses as Bank of America climbed 24 cents, JPMorgan rose 61 cents and Alcoa added 19 cents. BofA is charted un Good News saying for the 2nd day in a row it was a big winner.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Most indexes rise as cyclicals advance" by David Saito-Chung says stocks erased mornings loses, and most major indexes ended with small gains Wed. Wednesday's action was mostly small gains in lower volume as the current outlook is the market is still in a confirmed uptrend.

Fin Times p26 "Urban Outfitters frayed by shock departure of its chief exec" by Ajay Makan says investors in Urban Outfitters reacted with dismay to the CEO's resignation. The Dow fell as Coke fell 1.9% due to UBS analyst removing his buy recommendation saying Coke shares have had a negative correlation of 0.93 with dollar strength for the past 3 years.

USA Today p4B "Markets mixed as Europe's troubles threaten US earnings" by AP says the Dow crept lower Wed as Europe edged closer to a recession that would hurt corp profits in the US.

NYT pB8 "Markets remain near a 5 month high" by Reuters says stock idnexes held firm near recent 5 month highs on Wed as investors awaited crucial bond market tests for Europe in the next 2 days that could determine the direction of the euro zone crisis.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.47 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.48 (year ago it was 14.91); today's P/E estimate is 11.92 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 11.92 (year ago it was 13.55), and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.57 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.57 (last year it was 2.44). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,644.94 down 1.72 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,646.66. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.83 down $0.06 from Tuesday's average closing price of $54.89. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.38 (DD/HD) up $0.04 from Tuesday's median closing price of $45.34. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.9 -0.20 0.33% 1,777,348 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.87 +0.24 3.62% 351,725,930 NYSE.

If Wednesday 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 $172 ($164,666 - $164,494).

MarketWatch Wednesday 1/11/12 4:56 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks largely erased Wednesday losses, with the S&P 500 Index stalled at five-month highs, on the ongoing tug between Europe’s debt troubles and an improving U.S. economy.
“There is some optimism being built up around earnings season, which is keeping people interested, yet a little cautious at the same time,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. “I am cautiously optimistic, but eventually some of these headlines out of Europe are going to dent the market,” he added. After falling as much as 63 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.10% finished off 13.02 points, or 0.1%, at 12,449.45.The S&P 500 SPX +0.03% erased a mild deficit to close up 0.4 point at 1,292.48, with materials rising the most and energy ranking as the largest laggard among its 10 industry sectors. That was its highest close since July 28.The S&P 500 is facing a little trouble breaking through the 1,290 to 1,295 level, said Pavlik, who pegged the next resistance at 1,330 or 1,350.Lennar Corp. LEN -0.95% offered some respite, with the home builder reporting a rise in revenue in the fourth quarter, with low home prices and interest rates spelling signs of stabilization in the housing market.Shares of Lennar rose 7.2% and other building-related stocks gained, with building-products maker Masco Corp. MAS +0.76% up 4.6%. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.31% added 8.26 points to 2,710.76.Advancers edged ahead of decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 759 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 4 billion.
The proposed merger of the owner of the New York Stock Exchange with Germany's Deutsche Börse are headed toward collapse with European antitrust regulators expected to block the deal.Wall Street showed no perceptible reaction to the afternoon release of the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book, which found U.S. economic activity to be expanding at a modest to moderate pace. Given the Federal Open Market Committee meetings, the notes that accompany them, and the frequent public speeches by Fed members, “ultimately the compilation that is the Beige Book doesn’t lead to much of a surprise,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.Wednesday’s data from Germany’s Federal Statistics Office found the nation’s economy probably contracted by 0.25% in the final quarter of 2011, a year that overall had Germany’s economy growing by a robust 3%.“We’re in a mild expansion and they are in a mild recession,” said Art Hogan, equity analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, of statistics on the Germany economy in the fourth quarter.
In commodities, crude-oil prices CL2G -1.24% slipped under $101 a barrel in New York, while gold futures GC2G +0.75% climbed to a four-week high of $1,648 before closing at $1,639.60 an ounce. Treasury prices rose, with yields of the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR +0.05% used in determining the rate on consumer loans at 1.9%. “The fact that interest rates are quite low are telling you you shouldn’t be too overly optimistic here as the bond market is generally correct and the equity market is generally wrong,” said Pavlik.
