The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Thursday'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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,976.13 down 32.55 or 0.25% from Tuesday's close of 13,008.68. For the year the Dow is up 6.41%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down $1.56 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 3.18%.
WSJ pC4 "Dow takes wild ride o a loss" by Jon Cheng says stocks finished lower as investros were whipsawed by the latest Fed policy statement and a raft of trading irregularities. Leading the declines were utilities & ind'ls. Hewlett-Packard led the Dow decliners falling 58 cents while Caterpillar, Bank of America & American Express each lost 1.5% or more.
USA Today p3B "Stocks fall after technical problems conflicting news" by AP says the stock amrket was yanked around by technical problems, an ambiguous statement from the Fed and mixed reports on US firms.
NYT pA1 "Trading surge shakes markets as stocks zigzag" by Nathaniel Poppe says an automated stock trading program flooded the market with millions of trades spreading turmoil across Wall St & drawing renewed attention to the gfragility & instability of the nation's stock markets.
IBD pB2 "Major indexes slip again amid NYSE trading glitch" by David Saito-Chung says stocks retreated for the 3rd straight session Wed after the central US bank held off on any new monetary measures to stimulate the economy. Wednesday's action was down in mixed trade. Current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Fin times p22 "Comcast leads telecoms sector higher on cable revenues boost" by Martha Poon says US equities turned negative after the Fed signalled it would provide no further easing following its latest policy meeting.

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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.15 down 14 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $57.29.

Wed.
4:58 pm MarketWatch.com by Kate Gibson says US stocks fell Wednesday
after the Federal Reserve held
pat on monetary policy and paved the way to further stimulus, with
investors bracing for a gathering of European central bankers.“Today’s
announcement was priced in; the markets got exactly what they
expected. The fireworks are tomorrow,” Jim Russell, chief equity
strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said of expected stimulus
from the European Central Bank after its meeting Thursday.The union’s
poorest members, who once looked to joining the euro as a symbol of
prestige, are now shunning the currency.The U.S. central bank refrained
from further easing moves, but noted
economic activity had decelerated somewhat during the first half of the
year. “We feel that is an important acknowledgment by the Fed. We want
the Fed
to see what we are seeing, it opens up their ability to address with
monetary policy, aggressively with scale,” said Russell. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.25%
retreated 32.55 points, or 0.3%, to 12,976.13.
The S&P 500 index
SPX
-0.29%
lost 4 points, or 0.3%, to 1,375.32, with energy the best performing
and utilities the worst of its 10 major industry sectors.The Nasdaq
Composite
COMP
-0.66%
fell 19.31 points, or 0.7%, to 2,920.21.Decliners outpaced advancers
roughly nine to five on the New York Stock
Exchange, where composite volume topped 4.3 billion. Nasdaq’s composite
volume edged past 1.7 billion.Early trading was marked by unusual
volumes and large swings in many large-cap stocks. NYSE Euronext’s
NYX
-2.16%
New York Stock Exchange said it was probing trades in 140 stocks, including Citigroup Inc.
C
-1.29%
, Bank of America Corp.
BAC
-1.63%
, Ford Motor Co.
F
-1.63%
and American International Group Inc.
AIG
-1.38%
. It eventually said it would cancel trades in six smaller cap stocks. Shares of market-maker Knight Capital Group Inc.
KCG
-32.82%
, which said a technology glitch led to routing problems for about 150
stocks, ended down 33%. Compared to the Fed, the expectation bar is far
higher for Thursday’s
European Central Bank meeting in the wake of comments last week. German
Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande echoed
ECB President Mario Draghi in pledging to do whatever it takes to
protect the euro. “We got a very constructive and positive reaction from
the markets on
Thursday and Friday last week, and now the markets are expecting
follow-through,” said Russell of U.S. Bank Wealth Management.Investors
sent stocks lower after the Federal Reserve held back
from announcing any new stimulus measures. Paul Vigna has details on The
News Hub. Photo: Getty Images.“If we don’t get it, the markets are
possibly set up for
disappointment,” he said. “That is frankly why on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, [the markets] have done nothing but go sideways.”Art Hogan,
equity strategist at Lazard Capital Markets LLC, said:
“They’ll have to produce something; promising to do whatever is needed
and that it will be enough is a difficult act to follow.” He was
referring to statements last week by ECB President Mario
Draghi.Wednesday U.S. economic reports included better-than-expected
data on
the labor market, which boosted optimism ahead of the government’s
nonfarm payrolls data due on Friday. ADP Employer Services said
companies added 163,000 jobs in July compared to a revised 172,000 in
June. “The interesting one would be the ADP employment change, ISM [the
Institute for Supply Management] was a little lower, but nothing
surprising,” said Matt Lloyd, chief investment strategist at Advisors
Asset Management.For Lloyd, an uncertain climate has curbed hiring, but
the underlying
trends are largely positive, with average hours worked rising. Companies
are using a “flexible labor pool, where they aren’t hiring that much,
but working employees longer,” he said.Lazard’s Hogan said: “ADP was
better than expected, but it also was last month and we still got a bad
nonfarm payrolls report.”The Institute for Supply Management’s
manufacturing index remained under
the 50% level for a second month. That was a cause for concern for
Mickey North Rizza, vice president of strategic services at supply
management consultant BravoSolution: “Portions of the industry are doing
fairly well, and others are not. Everything is in a holding pattern.”
