The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,564.64 up 11.54 or 0.09% from Monday's close of 13,553.1. Of the Dow components 13 gained (not including United Health which was up) and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar up $1.08 and percentage-wise was Kraft up 1.83 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was United Technologies down 67 cents and percentage-wise was Alcoa down 0.94%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.12914682. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.01 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.06 (year ago it was 12.72); today's P/E estimate is 12.95 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.95 (year ago it was 11.52) and today's dividend yield is 2.53 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.70). 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 1,751.82 up 1.49 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,750.33. 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 or decrease in the Dow increases or decreases the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 7.74.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.39 up 5 cents from Monday's average closing price of $58.34. The median closing price of today's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.38 (HD/DIS) down 15 cents from yesterday's median closing price of $55.53 (HD/DIS). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 made $149 ($175,182 - $175,033).
MarketWatch.com 9/17/12 Tues. pm 3:02 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks
on Tuesday slipped for a second day as a gauge of builders’s sentiment showed improvement in September and shipper FedEx Corp. reduced its profit forecast.
“The rally is a bit overheated at this point, there’s a growing
disconnect in terms of what the market is doing and what the underlying
economy is doing. Most recently, FedEx is reiterating that point for us,
cutting its global outlook for the economy,” said Dave Abate, senior
wealth advisor at Strategic Wealth Partners in Seven Hills, Ohio.Given the market’s extended run, it’s no surprise that investors are now
opting to “consolidate some of these gains,” said Bruce Bittles, chief
investment strategist at RW Baird & Co.
A retreat is likely to be mild, possibly back to 1,400 or so on the S&P 500 index
SPX
-0.13%
, he said.
On Tuesday, the S&P 500 index shed 3.74 points to 1,457.45, with
energy hardest hit and consumer staples the best performer of its 10
major sectors.
“Most of the market is in gear technically, the small cap and even the
mid-cap that were lagging a month ago have now caught up with the Dow
industrials and S&P 500,” said Bittles.
Small stocks as measured by the Russell 2000
RUT
-0.23%
recently broke through their March high, as did the S&P 500 Mid-Cap 400 index
MID
-0.63%
Investors have recently shifted from defensive sectors, including
utilities and health care, into aggressive industry groups like energy,
technology and materials, Bittles added.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA

lost 6.42 points to 13,546.68.
The Nasdaq Composite

FedEx is hoping for a "surge volume event" as Apple prepares for
sales of its new iPhone 5 this week, shipping them as fast as it can by
air from factories in China.For every two stocks rising three declined on the New York Stock
Exchange, where 349 million shares traded as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern.
Composite volume surpassed 2.3 billion.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, the price of oil

fell for a second session, losing $1.33 to end at $95.29 a barrel. Apple Inc.
AAPL

shares hit $700 for the first time a day after the consumer-technology
company said orders for its iPhone 5 exceeded 2 million in the first 24
hours.
FedEx
FDX
-3.06%
shares dropped 2.5% after the package-delivery company lowered its
anticipated earnings for its fiscal year, citing the softening global
economy.
The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo housing-market
index gained 3 points to a seasonally-adjusted reading of 40 in
September, the highest the index has been since June 2006.
“Housing continues to see improvement, with the Fed again trying to give
it a further kick in the pants, but the pace and sustainability will
still be uneven,” noted Peter Boockvar, an equity strategist at Miller
Tabak.
The Commerce Department reported the current-account deficit shrank more
than expected in the second quarter, aided by increased exports.
In a speech prepared for delivery Tuesday in Michigan, Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans said the Fed’s latest round of
quantitative easing would help shield the U.S. recovery from Europe’s
debt crisis and possible U.S. tax hikes and spending reductions.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 13,553.1 down 40.27 or 0.3% from Friday's close of 13,593.57. For the year the Dow is up10.93 %. Of the Dow components 10 gained (not including United Health which was up), Microsoft was unchanged and 19 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's up 44 cents and percentage-wise was Pfizer up 0.92%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing down $1.36 and percentage-wise was Alcoa down 2.64%.
WSJ pC4 "Materials shares lead the retreat" by Matt Jarzemsky says stocks snapped a 4 day win streak as concerns re: steel demand weighed on material shares & a late selloff in crude oil dented the energy sector. Chevron dropped 11 cents.
NYT pB7 "Shares slip after a turbulent spell in oil trading" by Reuters says stocks fell on Mon in light trading as falling oil prices affected energy shares. Fin'ls, which were among the biggest gainers last week, were among the losers. Bank of America fell 2.6%.
IBD pB2 "Market takes a breather in sharply lower turnover" by Vincent Mao says stocks took a small step back Mon after advancing strongly for the past 2 weeks. Weak regional factory data didn't provide a positive backdrop either. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
USA Today p1B "will Dow's gyrations forecast election?" by Adam Shells says history shows that stock gains favor incumbent party. In 90% of the pers't'l relections since 1900, the direction of the Dow in the 2 months prior to the vote accurately predicted if the incumbent party was reelected.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,750.33 down 5.20 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,755.53. 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 (0.12914682) you get the decrease in today's Dow. Each dollar increase or decrease in the Dow increases or decreases the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 7.74.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.34 down 18 cents from Friday's average closing price of $58.52. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.53 (HD/DIS) down 25 cents from Friday's median closing price of $55.78 (HD/DIS). 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 lost $520 ($175,553 - $175,033).
MarketWatch.com 9/17/12 Mon. pm 4:17 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks ended lower Monday for the first day in five, hit by profit-taking and some unease over geopolitical concerns that roiled energy markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.30% ended down 40.27 points, or 0.3%, to 13,553.10; Boeing Co. BA -1.91% and Caterpillar Inc. CAT -1.27% contributed the most to the Dow's loss. The S&P 500 SPX -0.31% ended off 4.58 points, or 0.3%, to 1,461.19. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.17% sank 5.28 points, or 0.2%, to 3,178.67. But the Nasdaq 100 ended higher, lifted by a 1.2% gain in Apple Inc. AAPL +1.23% shares, the index's biggest component.
