A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily, the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times, & Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

For the week the Dow is down 281.90 or 2.07% from last Friday's close of 13,610.15. For the year the Dow is up 9.10%. Of the Dow components 12 gained and 18 declined.

Fin times p13 "JPMorgan & Wells Fargo fall despite robust results" by Arash massoudi says Wall St had its worst week in 4 and a half months despite good quarterly results from JPMorgan and Wells Fargo. Alcoa highlighted concerns with the global economy as it kicked off 3Q reporting season on Tues & cut its forecast for global alum demand by 1% noting Chinese ind'l slowdown.
WSJ pB4 "Dow snaps losing run by a hair" by Jonathan Cheng says the Dow squeezed out a tiny advance to wrap up a tough week as worries about bank profits balanced off vs. a jump in consumer sentiment.
NYT pB3 "Wall St dips, ending worst week in 4 months" by REuters says the US stock market wrapped up its worst week in 4 months led lower on Fri by fin'l shares as results from Wells and JPMorgan stoked concerns re: shrinking profit margins for big lenders.
IBD pB8 "Stocks stumble last week, worst showing in 4 months" by Paul Whitfield says stocks sauntered to modest losses Fri as they added to their biggest weekly decline in more than 4 months. Quarterly reports from Wells and JPMorgan disappointed despite earnings beats. In the coming week the reports will pick up speed. The Street awaits data from IBM and Coca-Cola.
As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B5 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.52 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.51 (year ago it was 12.98); Saturday's P/E estimate is 12.62 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.79 (year ago it was 11.70) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.55 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.55 (last year it was 2.66). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,735.55 up 0.24 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,735.31. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.85 up 1 cent from Thursday's closing numerator of $57.84. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.84 (DIS/UNH) down 18 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $54.02 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Friday 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 made $24 ($173,555 - $173,531).
MarketWatch.com Fri. 10/12/12 4:15 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks indexes on Friday closed their worst week in four months nearly unchanged, with the market stalling again as worries about Europe overcame an unexpected rise in U.S. consumer confidence. "On the European side, they still have to figure out their fiscal issues, and we're deep into earnings," said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.02% added 2.46 points to 13,328.85, off 2.1% for the week. The S&P 500 index SPX-0.30% shed 4.25 points, or 0.3%, to 1,428.59, leaving it down 2.2% from the week-ago close. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.17%declined 5.3 points, or 0.2%, to 3,044.11.
