The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise wasMcDonald's down 54 cents or 0.62% .
As
of the open of the market on 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 13.73 up from
yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.35 (year ago it was 13.71);
today's P/E estimate is 11.78 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of
11.78 (year ago it was 12.40) and today's dividend yield is 2.72 down
from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.77 (last year it was 2.48). 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 1,658.78 up 18.42
from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,640.36. 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.

If
Friday 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 $1,842 ($165,878 - $164,646 ).
MarketWatch
Friday 3:58 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Friday, on track for their best week
this year, on hope Europe would move to combat its economic crisis,
including an anticipated recapitalization of Spanish banks.“It looks like we’re going to have a good week -- the market is
expecting some monetary relief,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment
strategist at RW Baird & Co.“There is optimism that over the weekend things are going to happen in
Spain, that they are going to successfully hold out their hat and get
some sort of lifeline,” said John Cannally, economist at LPL Financial
in Boston.“You don’t go through a weekend anymore where there’s not some
conference call or event that could move markets,” Cannally added.Up 3.4% for the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average

the weekend, with an announcement expected Saturday.In nationally televised comments to reporters in the White House
briefing room, President Barack Obama urged Europe’s leaders to help the
troubled banking sector. “It strikes me as another coordinated activity,” said Cannally of the president’s comments.U.S. stocks had declined as economic reports from Europe furthered
concern about the global economy, with German exports declining more
than projected and Italian industrial production contracting in April.And, Chinese economic data to be released during the weekend “should
give them room to cut more,” said Cannally of expectations China would
follow up on its first interest-rate cut in years with additional cuts.The Commerce Department on Friday reported the U.S. trade deficit narrowed 4.9% in April to $50.1 billion.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.
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, 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 a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Thursday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
WSJ pC4 "Blue Chips limp to a win" by Matt Phillips says after springing from the gates, stocks struggled to the finish line Thurs after Fed Res Chair Ben Bernanke declined to commit to a fresh push to support the economy. China's central bank cut interest rates to give the economya boost which made Untied Technologies stock gain 2.4%. In late April, it had said that new Chinese orders at its Otis Elevator unit fell. Boeing which is also positioning itself for China driven growth rose 1.4%.
Fin Times p22 "Best Buy falls after sudden exit of chairman amid volatile session" by Kandy Wong says a volatile session saw stocks swinging wildly throught the day. The S&P recorded strong gains to start the day, but investors were sent scrambling after Bernanke gave no signs of add'l monetary stimuluants. Caterpillar gain 0.6% on good news from China's Central Bank as United Technologies was also up 2.4%.
NYT pB7 "Shares fade after Fed deos not show its hand" by AP says an early rally in stocks after Benrnake gave little indication he was ready to take further steps to stoke economic growth which has started to falter.
USA Today p4B "Euphoria over China rate cut fades on Bernanke comments" by Bloomberg says most stocks fell Thurs as a late slump in fin'l and tech shares erased a rally driven by China's first interest rate cut since '08. Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard dropped at least 1.3% for the biggest declines in the Dow.
Inv. Bus. Daily pB2 "Stocks erase most gains as week's rally stumbles" by Paul Whitfield says stocks kicked away a chance Thurs for a 3rd straight day of solid gains as a rally fizzled. The current outlook is the market is in a correction. Home Depot rose for a 4th straight session.
Thursday's
Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,646.46 up 6.10
from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,640.36. 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
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.88 up $0.20 from
Wednesday's average closing price of $54.68. The median closing price of
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.35 (HD/DD) up 0.75
from Wednesday's median closing price of $49.60. The lowest volume was
Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 made $606 (164,646 - $164,040).
After a 140-point climb, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA+0.37% ended at 12,460.96, up 46.17 points, or 0.4%. With one more session left in the week, the Dow is up 2.8% from last Friday’s close, aided by Wednesday’s nearly 287-point jump. Halting a winning run at three sessions, the S&P 500 IndexSPX-0.01% finished fractionally lower at 1,314.99. Also breaking a three-day run higher, the Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.48% fell 13.7 points, or 0.5%, to 2,831.02. For every eight stocks declining, roughly seven gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 585 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 4.1 billion. The major indexes trimmed gains as Bernanke’s words proved less concrete than some might have hoped.“The markets were maybe looking for him to be a bit more definitive or dovish in his approach, so it’s a mild disappointment, but we didn’t think an imminent signal would be sent,” said Russell. “Bernanke is looking to fiscal and governmental leaders to bring fiscal-policy ideas to the table, and so far they’ve fallen short. There are limits to monetary policy, and we’re either seeing them or close to it,” he said. Oil and gold futures also ended lower after the Bernanke testimony. With less than two weeks before the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting, Bernanke “wasn’t going to be more explicit,” emailed Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. Stocks had spent nearly all of Thursday’s session on higher ground after China cut its interest rate in a bid to bolster the globe’s second-largest economy. The move fed into expectations that central bankers around the globe would move to boost growth.China has been “overt about saying we’re not happy with the current rate of growth, and taking interest rates down is within their tool box,” said Russell. “We think additional rate actions will be executed by China this year, two or three total of which we got one today,” said Russell, who adds that at 6.3%, China’s interest-rate environment differs greatly from that in the U.S., where the Fed’s key rate stands near zero. Late Wednesday, Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen said the U.S. economy is still vulnerable and could warrant further stimulus. “If we had to guess, we would expect the Fed to extend Operation Twist, which is due to shut down or expire on June 30,” said Russell, who adds the Fed might vary its purchases from Treasury bonds to “mortgage bonds or other types to keep rates on the long end of the yield curve low.” On the data front, the count of first-time applicants filing for jobless benefits declined last week, with claims down to 377,000 from a revised 389,000 the week before. “This is what we want to see, claims coming down. So it was a nice, moderate surprise,” said Russell of the weekly data. But, “we are cognizant that with the level of intensity of the headlines coming out of Europe that consumers and perhaps even business leaders are taking some sort of pause to hiring and spending,” Russell added.
