The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,008.68 down 64.33 or 0.49% from Monday's close of 13,073.01. Of the 30 Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was AT&T up 49 cents and percentage-wise was Pfizer up 1.39%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Kraft down $1.48 and percentage-wise was Home Depot down 2.01%.

Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.23 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.38 (year ago it was 13.61); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 1245 up from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.57) and today's dividend yield is 2.57 unchanged from Monday's dividend yield of 257 (last year it was 2.49). 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,718.83 down 8.50 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,727.33. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices.

If Tuesday 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 $850 ($172,768 - $171,883).
MarketWatch Tues. 4:47
MarketWatch.com by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell Tuesday, trimming a second month of gains,
as investors worried central banks would not come through with enough
stimulus to bolster the global economy.“There’s a lot more coming down the pipe here: the Federal Reserve
policy meeting, then the European Central Bank, and job numbers at the
end of the week,” said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James
& Associates.“Europe lumbers from crisis to crisis,” said Brown of the European Central Bank meeting in two days. “They do enough to postpone things for a couple of months, and it gets
pushed to the back burner but doesn’t come off the stove. Now there is a
lot riding on what the [ECB] does Thursday.” The U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank face critical
tests this week amid heightened expectations that they are moving toward
new actions to tackle fragility in the global economy. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve finishes a two-day policy session,
with many skeptical of how much impact the central bank can have.
“The forecasts are 50-50 as to whether they’ll announce another easing
program of some sort. But they can’t fix the fiscal situation and what
is going on in Europe,” said Brad Sorensen, director of market and
sector research at Charles Schwab. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.49%
fell 64.33 points, or 0.5%, to 13,008.68, up 1% month-to-date. The index posted its ninth monthly gain in 10. The S&P 500 index
SPX
-0.43%
lost 5.98 points, or 0.5%, to 1,379.32, giving it a 1.3% rise from the end of June. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
-0.21%
shed 6.32 points, or 0.2%, to 2,939.52, leaving it with a 0.2% gain for July. For every stock advancing roughly three fell on the New York Stock
Exchange, where composite volume neared 3.8 billion. Composite volume
for Nasdaq-listed shares came close to 1.8 billion. The euro region has two options: become more fiscally unified or break apart, said Sorensen at Charles Schwab.European central banks and some leaders have reiterated that the
17-nation union is staying together, “but already we’re seeing comments
out of Germany indicating we’re not willing to go down that path without
serious concessions from other countries. When it actually comes down
to it, one country does not want to bail out another,” said Sorensen. “The Germans want the big bazooka kept on the sidelines,” Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, wrote in an email.Bloomberg News reported the German Finance Ministry said it did not see
any need to give the European Stability Mechanism a bank license.And CNBC quoted an unidentified official from the German Bundesbank that
monetary policy should focus on price stability, while fiscal troubles
among member states should be addressed by fiscal tools such as the
rescue fund, or European Financial Stability Facility. U.S. consumer confidence in July climbed for the first rise in six
months as Americans grew more hopeful about employment prospects in six
months, the Conference Board said. “Consumer confidence continues to muddle along; lower energy prices have
helped a little bit. Also the housing market: there’s a rebound there,
although not substantial,” said Sorensen. Tuesday’s U.S. economic reports also included data from the Commerce
Department showing consumer purchases slowed in June, while wages rose. “It’s not like spending is falling off a cliff, but indicates consumers are still pretty cautious,” said Schwab’s Sorensen.
Separately, the S&P/Case-Shiller index of U.S. home values indicated housing prices are steadying.Tuesday's Closing Dow Numbers:

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog.
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 a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 13,073.01 down 2.65 or 0.02% from Friday's close of 13,075.66. For the year the Dow is up 7%. Of the 30 Dow components 12 gained and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Coke up $1.09 or 1.36%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was JPMorgan down 81 cents and percentage-wise was 1.75%.
WSJ pC4 "JPMogan ends Dow's 3 day winning streak" by Alexandra Scags says JPMorgan dragged the Dow into negative territory as it fell 75 cents after a downgrade from Deutsche Bank. The Dow fell having jumped above 13000 on Fri on pledges from Europe's leaders to preserve the Euro zone. AT&T rose 29 cents after it said it increased its stock repurchase program.
USA Today p3B "Stocks retreat in advance of possibly negative jobs report" by Bloomberg says stocks declined Mon amid concern that a rally that gave the S&P its biggest 2 day gain in '12 has outpaced the economic outlook.
Fin Times p22 "Roper Industries sahres rise after revealing $1.4 bn Sunquest move" by Martha Poon says shares in ind'l firms were mixed. GE fell 0.6%. United Tech rose 1%. Intel lost 1%. AT&T rose 0.8% while Verizon was up 0.1%. 117 firms report 2Q results this week including Pfizer and Procter & Gamble, which rose after it warned of lower 2Q earnings. Pfizer fell 0.5%. Coke rose 1.4% after it said it would reorganize.
NYT pB6 "Markets cook, ending 2 day rally" by AP says a 2 day rally taht sent stocks soaring last week stalled on Mon as investors waited to see fi European leaders would act on their promise to keep the euzo zone intact.
Inv. Bus. Daily pB2 "Stocks ease in light trade after 2 days of solid gains" by Cincent Mao says stocks took a small step back Mon. Hurt by software and chip stocks the Nasdaq fell 0.4%. Stocks slip in light trade was Monday's action as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,727.33 down 0.35 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,727.68. 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 $57.58 down 1cent from Friday's average closing price of $57.59. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.50 (HD/DIS) down 33 cents from Friday's median closing price of $51.83 (HD/DD. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 $33 ($172,768 - $172,735).
MarketWatch Mon. 2:58 MarketWatch.com by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks posted mild losses on Monday after a two-session rally ahead of central-bank meetings and the monthly jobs report later in the week. Monday’s moves are “more of a continuation of what the market wants to digest from Europe, and talk now about the jobs report and less of a focus on earnings, which is leaving the market up in the air,” said Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates Inc.
“The earnings season is winding down. We got a lot last week, and the theme here is a little disappointing, nothing extreme, but weaker sales and tempered expectations for the future are a little bit of a concern for investors,” Fitzpatrick said. Wavering between gains and losses, the benchmark indexes were mostly in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA-0.02% shed 7.80 points to 13,067.86. The heaviest weight among the Dow components, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM-2.03% fell 2.5% after Deutsche Bank AG downgraded the bank to hold from buy, saying earnings estimates might be too lofty. The S&P 500 Index SPX-0.05% shed 1.59 point to 1,384.38, with Telecommunications pacing gains and health-care the weakest performer among its 10 sectors. “The key test for the market will be whether the S&P 500 can hold above 1,375, Friday’s break out. If some of the potential negative divergences come to fruition, then support may give way, which will make for the move above 1,375 a false break out,” noted Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. Best Buy Co.BBY+1.69% shares advanced 1.2% after Bloomberg News reported the electronics retailer’s founder was recruiting executives to help his effort at taking the company private. A New York lender alleges in a lawsuit that it was cheated out of interest income because rates on loans tied to Libor were "artificially" depressed. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.41% retreated 12.74 points, or 0.4%, to 2,945.36. Decliners pulled just ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where 364 million shares traded as of 2:35 p.m. Eastern. Oil declined as the dollar DXY+0.24% rose against the euroEURUSD -0.32% on worries that central bankers would take overly small steps to boost economic growth. Crude for September delivery CLU2-0.67% fell 0.4% to $89.78 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. After meeting on an island in northern Germany, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Germany’s finance minister on Monday vowed to cooperate in advancing policies to stabilize the global and European economies. Geithner was also expected to meet with European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who last week reiterated that the ECB would do whatever it takes to safeguard the euro. Federal Reserve policy makers in Washington are scheduled to conclude a meeting Wednesday, two days before the monthly jobs report is released. The ECB’s governing council will meet on Thursday. “The bar has been lowered,” said Fitzpatrick of expectations for the July nonfarm payrolls report, which he pegged at an increase of about 100,000. Also, a weaker-than-expected report might not get as negative a market reaction as one might expect, given the possible implications on monetary policy decisions by the Fed. “If it were to disappoint, it could give more ammo to the Fed to act,” Fitzpatrick said.
