MarketWatch.com Fri. 9/28/12 4:15 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks fell Friday as an unexpected contraction in a gauge of business activity in the Midwest had Wall Street cutting still-sizeable third quarter and September gains.

"Now we're having a step backward as some of the QE3-inspired gains dissipate." The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA -0.36% declined 48.84 points, or 0.4%, to 13,437.13, up 4.3% for the third quarter and 2.7% for the month. The S&P 500 SPX -0.45% declined 6.48 points, or 0.5%, to 1,440.67, up 5.8% for the quarter and 2.4% for September.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,756.09 up 9.44 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,746.65. 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 (0.130216081) you get the increase in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $7.68 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.54 up 32 cents from Wednesday's closing numerator of $58.22. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.42 (DIS/UNH) up 45 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $53.97 (DIS/UNH).

MarketWatch.com Thurs. 9/27/12 4:16 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks finished sharply higher on Thursday after Spain announced austerity measures that focus on spending cuts and not on raising taxes. "It was reality versus expectations, not only is Spain moving past the rioting, but they are imposing austerity, and more austerity than the market was expecting," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago. Such deep spending cuts by a nation already contending with double-digit unemployment is "certainly not advisable, but really it's the only tool they have, and highlights the inflexiblilty of the euro-zone. The fact that we can control our currency doesn't mean we can't escape austerity, but we can cushion the blow," Ablin added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.54% rose 72.46 points, or 0.5%, to 13,485.97. The S&P 500 index SPX+0.96% added 13.83 points, or 1%, to 1,447.15. The Nasdaq Composite COMP+1.39%advanced 42.9 points, or 1.4%, to 3,136.60.
