The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,326.39 down 18.58 or 014 % from Wednesday's close of 13,344.97. Of the Dow components 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron up 73 cents and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 1.36%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Disney down 83 cents and percentage-wise was AT&T down 1.72%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.53 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.67 (year ago it was 12.84); today's P/E estimate is 12.79 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.79 (year ago it was 11.25) and today's dividend yield is 2.54 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.69). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,735.31 down 2.42 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,737.73. 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 (0.130216081) you get the decrease 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 $57.84 down 8 cents from Wednesday's closing numerator of $57.92. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.02 (DIS/UNH) down 14 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $54.16 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Thursday 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have lost $242 ($173,773 - $173,531).
MarketWatch.com Thur. 10/11/12 4:06 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks indexes closed largely unchanged on Thursday as cheer about a decline in jobless claims dissipated. "I don't get too worked up over the weekly data, the trend is much more important, and I think we are seeing incremental improvement," said Tim Leach, chief investment officer at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Uncertainty ahead of the U.S. presidential election less than a month away is a likely contributor to Wall Street's stall. Once "the results are in, then everybody can make plans accordingly.That clarity of at least that portion of the road ahead will be reacted to positively," regardless who wins, Leach said. Down for a fourth day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.14% fell 18.51 points, or 0.1%, to 13,326.46. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.02% gained a fraction to end at 1,432.86. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.08% fell 2.40 points, or 0.1%, to 3,049.38.

Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 13,344.97 down 128.56 or 0.95 % from Tuesday's close of 13,473.53. For the year the Dow is up 9.23%.

Fin Times p24 "Costco finds strength in numbers as rising membership lifts results" by Arash Massoudi says Alcoa shares dropped sharply after it said that global demand for slum was slackening due to a China slowdown.
NYT pB8 "Indexes suffer on results from Alcoa & Chevron" by AP says disappointing results & forecasts from Alcoa & Chevron pulled indexes lower for a 3rd straight day.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,737.73 down 16.84 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,754.47. 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 (0.130216081) you get the decrease 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.92 down 56 cents from Tuesday's closing numerator of $58.48. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.16 (DIS/UNH) down 33 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $54.49 (DIS/UNH). 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have lost $1,684 ($175,447 - $173,773).
MarketWatch.com Wed. 10/10/12 4:37 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks fell sharply Wednesday, with the S&P 500 Index ending lower for a fourth consecutive trading session, after aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. cut its global demand outlook and Chevron Corp. warned of lower earnings.
The S&P 500 / SPX-0.62% declined 8.92 points, or 0.6%, to close at 1,432.56, with energy the greatest laggard and financials the best performer of its major industry groups. “Sooner or later you give some back. Given how optimistic the markets had become, there is room for disappointment,” said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank in Cleveland. Reiterating Wall Street is in need of consolidation after a climb that has the S&P 500 Index up nearly 14% on the year, McCain believes a pullback to between 1,365 and 1,400 would not be unreasonable, and would “take a little air out of the inflated sentiment bubble in the market.” The major indexes retained the bulk of their losses after the release of the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book of economic conditions, which found modest expansion since the prior report. The information “is nothing we don’t already know nationally with just regional differentiation of note,” Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, said in an emailed comment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.95% fell 128.56 points, or 1%, to close at 13,344.97, dropping for a third trading session. Of the 30 Dow components, 26 ended lower. Alcoa AA -4.60% was the biggest loser in the Dow, falling 4.6%. The aluminum company late Tuesday reported third-quarter profit that topped expectations on increased demand from airplane and automobile makers, but trimmed its forecast for the world’s appetite for the metal it produces, citing China’s economic slowdown. Alcoa’s results were “a little better than expected, but it’s difficult to judge an entire earnings season because of Alcoa, a weak stock in what has been a weak sector the entire year,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab. Chevron CVX-4.18% was another big decliner in the Dow, with the stock sinking 4.2%. The oil company late Tuesday warned falling crude prices and reduced production would result in “substantially lower” earnings. Chevron’s stock was also hit the day after the Supreme Court declined to halt a $19 billion judgment against Chevron by an Ecuadorean court for polluting the Amazon. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT+1.73% rose 1.7%, leading blue-chip gains after the discount retailer said it would add U.S. stores after a “very strong” back-to-school season. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP-0.43% retreated 13.24 points, or 0.4%, to end at 3,051.78. Around 590 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Composite volume topped 3.2 billion shares. “The key for us is QE3 pushed the S&P 500 to a level we thought we could get to by Dec. 31, not Sept. 30, so now we have to wait for the solid data to catch up with the enthusiasm,” Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago, said of the Federal Reserve’s third round of quantitative easing, launched late last month. Alcoa kicked off earnings season with positive news, beating EPS and revenue estimates. “Companies have been guiding their outlooks down and I’m hopeful that now — [in] the first negative quarter in earnings since who knows when — we’ll be able to jump over the limbo stick, because it’s so low,” said BMO’s Ablin. On Wednesday, Yum Brands Inc. YUM+8.04% shares rallied 8% a day after the owner of the Taco Bell and KFC fast-food chains reported better-than-expected quarterly income on increased sales in the United States and China. Job openings fell for a second month in August, down by 32,000 to 3.561 million from a revised 3.593 million the month before, the Labor Department reported. Business leaders are reluctant to hire ahead of the U.S. presidential election, said Ablin, who added the hesitation has more to do with uncertainty than worries about which candidate wins. “It’s a matter of having clarity rather than the outcome, to know what the rules are before writing the check,” he said.
