The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,721.46 down 101.11 or 0.79% from Friday's close of 12,822.57. Of the 30 Dow components 8 gained and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar up 78 cents and percentage-wise was JPMorgan Chase up 1.65%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's down $2.54 and percentage-wise was McDonald's and Microsoft both down 2.77%.

Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.31 down from Saturday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.19 (year ago it was 14.69); Monday's P/E estimate is 12.35 up from Saturday's P/E estimate of 12.23 (year ago it was 12.60) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.65 up from Saturday's dividend yield of 2.60 (last year it was 2.40).

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,680.88 down 13.36 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,694.24. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices.

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 $1,336 ($169,424 - $168,088).
MarketWatch Mon. 3:46 MarketWatch.com by Wallace Wittkowski & Laura Mandaro say US stocks
pared triple-digit losses after stumbling Monday as worries about Europe’s fiscal health flared back up, pushing U.S. Treasury yields to new lows and boosting the dollar. Falling hard on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were shares of McDonald’s Corp. MCD -2.88% and Microsoft Corp.MSFT -2.77% , as well as Kraft Foods Inc. KFT -2.39% The Iberian nation continued to cast a long shadow over financial markets amid a fresh selloff in Spanish bonds. The blue-chip indexDJIA -0.79% pared earlier losses — bouncing off an intraday low of 12,583.41 — but was still down 86 points, or 0.7%, at 12,737, extending a triple-point slide from Friday, with 24 out of 30 components trading lower. McDonald’s shares, which were down 2.6% in recent activity, faced headwinds in particular after the fast-food giant’s second-quarter earnings fell short of Wall Street estimates. The company said a stronger dollar dented margins in international markets that already are seeing slowing economic growth. But what really weighed on the broader market was the prospect that Spain, Europe’s fourth-largest economy, might require a sovereign bailout, after another region in the country said it would need financial aid. According to news outlet La Opinión de Murcia, the Spanish region of Murcia announced it could apply for government bailout funds in September. That comes on the heels of reports on Friday that Spain’s Valencia region was seeking help. “U.S. markets are attempting to price in significant policy errors in Europe,” said Stephen Wood, chief market strategist at Russell Investments. Regional governments looking for a handout are just confirming fears that Spain’s problems are also fiscal and not confined to the banking sector, he added. U.S. markets are also contending with an earnings season where more than 40% of companies have missed Wall Street revenue estimates so far, and trying to figure out how that will play out in a decelerating economy, according to Wood. Earlier in the day, the yield on Spain’s 10-year bondES:10YR_ESP -0.0009% roared past 7.5% on Monday as government debt extended a selloff from Friday. That yield is a “canary in a coal mine” for Spain, said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. “They were once facing a banking problem. Now they’re facing a solvency problem. The market wasn’t prepared for that.” Also, Spanish and Italian regulators imposed a short-selling ban on Monday. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.89% was down 10.8 points, or 0.8%, at 1,352. All 10 sectors were lower, led by a drop in materials and energy stocks. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -1.20% fell 30 points, or 1%, at 2,895. Decliners outnumbered advancers by about three to one on the NYSE and about seven to two on the Nasdaq. Composite volume for NYSE-listed stocks topped 3 billion shares and Nasdaq-listed shares exceeded 1.31 billion shares. But it wasn’t just Spain stirring the pot in Europe. On Sunday, a report in Germany’s Der Spiegel, citing unnamed European officials, said the International Monetary Fund is set to stop aid payments to Greece. The international groups overseeing Greece’s aid package are due to send inspectors to Athens this week to gauge the country’s progress in honoring requirements under the program. Europe’s Stoxx 600 /XX:SXXP -2.49% fell 2.5% to close at 251.75. After piling into U.S. stocks early last week on earnings enthusiasm, investors started to sell on Friday, in part due to some disappointment over tepid revenue growth and as Spain’s fiscal situation looked tenuous. Mounting concerns over Europe sent the euro EURUSD +0.1405% to a two-year low versus the dollar. The euro recently traded at $1.2131. It also traded at a near-record low versus the yen EURJPY +0.0551% at ¥95.13. Treasurys jumped, sending yields on 10-year 10_YEAR -1.37% notes to a new record low, and were recently down 2 basis points at 1.44%. September oil futures CLU2 -3.94% lost 4% to settle at $88.14 a barrel, while gold for August delivery GCQ2 -0.40% settled down 0.3% at $1,577.40 an ounce.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily; Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,822.57 down 120.79 or 0.93% from Thursday's close of 12,943.36. For the week the Dow is up 45.48 or 0.36% from last Friday's close of 12,777.09. For the year the Dow is up 4.95%. Of the 30 Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart up 78 cents or 1.09 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.99 and percentage-wise was Bank of America down 2.48%.
Inv. Bus. Daily pB6 "Stocks stumble, bringing pressur back on uptrend" by Paul Whitfield says stocks stumbled out of the gate Fri & never mounted a voncincing reboud attempt.
Sat. WSJ pB4 "For Dow, 4 out of 5 isn't bad" by Chris Dieterich says Spain's debt worries shook markets & tripped stocks for the 1st time in 4 sessions, as the fin'l sector helped drive the Dow's first triple digit decline in 2 weeks. Bank of america fell 19 cents and was the biggest decliner in the Dow. Corp earnings propelled a few blue chips higher. GE was up 7 cents after the bellwether conglomerate's earnings came in slightly better than estimates, though rev missed. Microsoft fell 55 cents after posting its first quarterly loss in decades. Intel was up 1.1% as its 2Q profits beat estimates. IBM gains alone added 48.74 points to the Dow.
Sat NYT pB6 Bailout worries in Spain push markets lower" by Reuters says stocks fell on Fri as Europe's debt crisis flared up again on fears that Spain may eventually need a bailout, prompting traders to cash in 3 days of gain.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,694.24 down 15.96 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,710.20. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.47 down 0.54 from Thursday's average closing price of $57.01.

The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 lost $1,596 ($171,020 - $169,424).
