A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,708.82 down 11.66 or 0.09% from Friday's close of 12,720.48. For the year the Dow is up 4.02%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Travelers TRV $60.29 -1.30 2.11% 3,472,460 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Quiet on the Dow. Too Quiet?" by Jon Cheng says after last year's swings, US stocks have been tranquil in '12 as the Dow has moved less than 100 points on all but one day this year.

Fin Times p24 "Chesapeake leads strong advance of exploration & production sectors" by Ajay Makan says the price of natural gas rebounded from its lowest levels in a decade, helping exploration & production firms record strong gains as Chesapeake Energy said it would reduce gas production due to low prices.

NYT pB9 "Flat finish as investors await Greek debt deal" by AP says markets ended flat on Mon as few developments affected stocks except investor hopes that Greece would eventually reach a deal with private creditors on lowering its debt.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks quiet after market's 3 week rise" by Vincent Mao says stocks wavered & finished narrowly mixed in lower, quiet trading Monday. It was subdued but basically normal action after the market's 3 week advance. The current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.

USA Today p4B "S&P 500 manages slight gain despite Nasdaq, Dow losses" by Bloomberg says the S&P eked out a tiny gain Mon while traders kept an eye on talks in Europe to cut Greece's crushing debt load & prevent a global fin'l crisis.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.72 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.7 (year ago it was 14.95); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.05 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.05 (year ago it was 12.59), and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.52 unchanged from Monday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.40). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,679.21 down 1.54 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,680.75. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.97 down $0.05 from Friday's average closing price of $56.02. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.12 (DD/HD) down $0.15 from Friday's median closing price of $46.97. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $85.61 -0.04 0.05% 3,454,968 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.25 +0.18 2.55% 336,781,552 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $154 ($168,075 - $167,921).

MarketWatch Monday 1/23/12 4:10 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed slightly lower Monday, though the S&P 500 eked out a gain in the final hour of trading, as investors took some cash out of a market that's gained about 20% since early October. "Our concern here is that we've had a lot of good news over the last few months. Now we've seen significant market improvements both here and globally -- this cycle of good news might be coming to an end," said Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.09% lost 11.66 points, or 0.1%, to 12,708.82. The S&P 500 SPX +0.05% added 0.6 point, or 0.1%, to 1,316, its fifth day of gains, and at a nearly six-month high. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.09% fell 2.5 points, or 0.1%, to 2,784.17.
