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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,874.04 up 72.81 or 0.57% from Friday's close of 12,801.23. For the year the Dow is up 5.37%. Of the 30 Dow components 25 gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $113.7 +1.95 1.74% 5,689,778 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $8.25 +0.18 2.23% 307,487,952 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $50.6 -0.55 1.08% 4,869,969 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks push up as Apple shines" by Christian Berthelsen says stocks ended the day higher after Greece adopted austerity measures to secure a bailout while shares of Apple closed above $500 for the first time. Bank of America led the Dow rising 18 cents followed by JPMorgan which rose 69 cents.

Fin Times p24 "Apple breaches $500 as US stocks push towards highs for year so far" by Ajay Makan says US equities climbed towards '12 highs as investors responded to a Greek deal on austerity measures. Bank of America climbed 2.2% making a post-Aug high with the best Dow performances. JPMorgan was up 1.8%.

NYT pB7 "Shares rise after Greece acts to qualify for bailout" by Reuters says stocks rose after the Greek Parliament approved measures to qualify for a bailout and avoid a default.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks rise in light trade: Priceline.com breaks out" by Vincent Mao says stocks bounced back from last week's tiny pullback, recouping the loss then some Monday as stocks rebounded in lower volume and the current outlook is a "confirmed upgtrend."

USA Today p4B "Approval of austerity plan in Greece helps stocks rebound" by Bloomberg says stocks bounced back from '12's first weekly loss as Greece approved austerity plans to secure rescue funds.

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 14.36 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.28 (year ago it was 15.02); today's P/E estimate is 12.26 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.26 (year ago it was 12.81) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.36). 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 1,701.04 up 9.62 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,691.42. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.70 up $0.32 from Friday's average closing price of $56.38. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48 (DD/HD) down $0.24 from Friday's median closing price of $48.24. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.03 +0.89 1.02% 2,530,550 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.25 +0.18 2.23% 307,487,952 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 made $962 ($170,104 - $169,142).

MarketWatch Monday 2/13/12 5:06 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed broadly higher Monday after Greece approved austerity measures to ensure funds needed to avoid default. “This will provide enough financing to avoid a disorderly default in the near term, but it’s unlikely the story is over,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group in Pittsburgh. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.57% rose 72.81 points, or 0.6%, to 12,874.04. Coming back after its first weekly decline this year, the S&P 500 Index SPX +0.68% added 9.13 points, or 0.7%, to 1,351.77, with industrials gaining the most and utilities the only laggard among its 10 industry groups. U.S. equities followed stocks around the globe in welcoming Greece’s approval of austerity moves, with European finance ministers now considered likely to ratify a 130 billion euro ($172 billion) package for Greece when they meet in Brussels on Wednesday. Read more on what’s next for Greece. Gains were broad. On the Dow, 25 of 30 stocks closed higher. On the New York Stock Exchange, advancers beat decliners by more than three to one. Volume was light, however. Some 683 million shares traded hands on the NYSE; composite volume was 3.6 billion, well under last year’s average of 4.3 billion. Among outperformers, shares of Apple Inc. AAPL +1.86% rose 1.9% to $502.60, closing above $500 for the first time, as the iPhone and iPad maker said a nonprofit labor group has started inspecting working conditions at the factories of its suppliers, including Foxconn’s plants in southern China. Other notable gainers included Chesapeake Energy Corp. CHK +2.39% , rising 2.4% after the oil and natural-gas producer said it would sell off as much as $12 billion in assets and issue another $1 billion in debt to cover expenditures this year. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP +0.95% climbed 27.51 points, or 1%, to 2,931.39, a new 52-week high. Oil futures CL2H +2.16% in New York topped $100 a barrel amid concern a ban on Iranian crude could curb global supplies. Gold prices GC2J -0.09% edged lower to end at $1,724.90 an ounce. In an annual letter to investors, billionaire Warren Buffett reportedly contrasted the metal’s rise to other asset-price bubbles, and dismissed latecomers to the market, saying: “What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.” In Washington, President Barack Obama sent Congress a $3.8 trillion budget proposal that includes tax hikes for the wealthiest Americans, setting the stage for his re-election campaign. Also, House Republican leaders said they may set a vote for later in the week on a “backup” plan to extend a 10-month payroll tax cut for the rest of the year without figuring first how to pay for it. The tax cut is now set to expire Feb. 29.
