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.

MarketWatch.com Thurs. 4:13 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. Thursday were hit by thinking the next European Central Bank meeting would not deliver the promised results and that the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole gathering could prove to be a nonevent."I suspect the market would be surprised if anything substantive came out of Jackson Hole: the big one now is next Thursday when ECB meets. We've been hearing a lot of chatter about how the ECB may not be in a position to do anything definitive next week, which puts the euro crisis back in focus," said John De Clue, global strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.81% fell 106.71 points, or 0.8%, to 13,000.71. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.78% lost 11.01 points, or 0.8%, to 1,399.48, its first finish under 1,400 in four weeks. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.05% declined 32.48 points, or 1.1%, to 3,048.71.

The following are excerpts from Thurs. 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 13,107.48 up 4.49 or 0.03% from Tuesday's close of 13,102.99. For the year the Dow is up 7.28%. Of the 30 Dow components 18gained and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's up 51 cents and percentage wise was Verizon up 0.98%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down 55 cents and percentage-wise was Coke down 1.42%.
NYT pB5 "Shares creep higher ahead of Bernanke speech" by Reuters says stocks edged higher Wed in the lightest trading of the year as investors wait for Bernanke's Fri speech.
USA Today p4B "Markets in wait and see mode remain relatively flat" by Bloomberg says stocks nudged higher Wed following a 2 day decline in the S&P as the economy grew more than first estimated and investors wait Bernanke's Fri speech.
Fin Times p22 "Joy Global lowers forecast as miners cut capital expenditure" by Kandy Wong ays a ind'l stocks edged higher. Caterpillar added 0.1%. The defensive telecom index added 0.7%. AT&T rose 0.5% and Verizon was up 1%.
IBD pB2 "Indexes move listlessly; new issues at 5 year low" by David Saito-Chung says the major indexes traded again in mellow fashion Wed ahead of Fri Bernanke speech. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,692.78 up 0.68 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,692.20. 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 increase for today by the divisor (0.12914682) you get the increase in today's Dow .Each dollar increase in the Dow increases the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 7.74.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.43 up 2 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $56.41. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.44 (HD/DIS up 27 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $53.17 (HD/DD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Wednesday 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 $68 ($169,288 - $169,220).
MarketWatch.com Wed. 4:10 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday ended with mild gains that started just before the release of the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book, which found gradual economic expansion across the Fed’s 12 districts. “The Beige Book indicated the economy is okay, at best, but it’s not rebounding so quickly that you have to discount chances of some type of move from quantitative easing, which is a near-term positive for the market,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. But it’s too soon to tell if another monetary easing move by the central bank is completely priced in, Pavlik said. “It’s going to depend on how they do it, and the size of the program they decide on,” said Pavlik, who believes any such move would come at the Federal Open Market Committee gathering in September.After falling 22 points and rising 42, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA ended 4.49 points higher, or less than 0.1%, at 13,107.48. That was the blue-chip index’s first gain in three days. Verizon Communications Inc. VZ shares led gainers, rising 1%. Dow component and equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. CAT erased losses that came after competitor Joy Global Inc. JOY reduced its earnings and revenue forecast. In position for a third monthly gain, the S&P 500 Index SPX rose 1.19 point, or 0.1%, to 1,410.49, with telecommunications the best performing and energy the greatest laggard of its 10 sectors. It was also the first gain in three days for the S&P 500. Among the biggest S&P 500 gainers, WellPoint Inc. WLP shares rose 7.7% after the insurer said Angela Braly resigned Tuesday as its chairman and chief executive officer. The Nasdaq Composite COMP advanced 4.05 points, or 0.1%, to 3,081.19. The index was up for four consecutive days, its longest winning streak since early July.
Volume was very low, in keeping with past sessions. There were nearly 510 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. For every three stocks that advanced, two declined. Composite volume for NYSE-listed shares was just above 2.5 billion, the 11th session of volume under 3 billion this month. August is on track for its lowest monthly average since May 2007. Wednesday’s release of the central bank’s collection of anecdotes comes two days before Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s speech at an annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Economic reports this week have failed to garner much of a reaction from investors at what’s typically a low-volume, lackluster time of the year for Wall Street, with many on vacation ahead of the Labor Day holiday. And, what little focus investors seemed to have was almost exclusively drawn to Bernanke’s coming words.
“Everybody at this point is much more fixated at what Chairman Bernanke says on Friday in terms of setting monetary policy,” said Jim Baird, chief investment strategist for Plante Moran Financial Advisors. “What we’re looking for is the Fed giving us some short of que in terms of their next step,” Baird said. Oil prices fell as Hurricane Isaac did not do any significant damage to production in the Gulf Coast and data showed that inventories unexpectedly climbed last week. Crude futures for October delivery CLV2 fell 84 cents, or 0.9%, to $95.49 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The U.S. dollar DXY gained against other global currencies, including the euro EURUSD. The benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR fell, its yield at 1.655%.
The Commerce Department said gross domestic product rose at a 1.7% annual rate from April through June, up from its prior estimate of 1.5%. “It is like a car traveling at 17 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour speed zone,” Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos., wrote of the economy’s performance.“The next potential market-moving event occurs Friday,” Dickson said of Bernanke’s coming talk at an annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Wall Street offered muted reaction to another indication of strengthening in the housing sector, with the National Association of Realtors reporting its index of pending-home sales rose 2.4% in July.“This is just the latest in an ongoing story showing sustained gains in the housing market,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC, in emailed research.
