The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,548.94 down 8.06 or 0.06 % from Wednesday's close of 13,557. Of the Dow components 13 gained, Procter & Gamble was unchanged and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Travelers up $2.56 or 3.59%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was, again, IBM down $5.67 or 2.14 %.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.71 unchanged from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.71 (year ago it was 12.75); today's P/E estimate is 12.62 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 11.70) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.67). 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 1,764.29 down 1.05 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,765.34. 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 $58.81 down 3 cents from Wednesday's closing numerator of $58.84. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.22 (DIS/UNH) up 10 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $54.12 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was 3M 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 $105 ($176,534 - $176,429).

says U.S. stock indexes on Thursday fell for the first day this
week as Google Inc.’s profit miss highlighted trouble in the tech
sector and a rise in jobless claims offset upbeat manufacturing data.“As we saw in Google’s

in China, Europe’s troubles and the “dysfunctional” U.S. fiscal policy
as among the wild cards compressing stocks prices.China said its economy continued to slow in the third quarter. The
news came just weeks before it embarks on a once-a-decade change in
leadership, compounding concerns about one of the world's major engines
of growth.“What is still very under-appreciated in the market is that when we talk
about the fiscal cliff, everyone says we need to compromise. But
compromise can still have a destructive outcome. And the idea of an
adverse outcome is not in the market,” said O’Hare of the automatic tax
increases and spending cuts that would occur on Jan. 1, 2013, if
Congress isn’t able to reach a deficit-reduction agreement.
Pacific Investment Management Co. on Thursday said the U.S. credit
rating would be cut as the drama over the so-called fiscal cliff plays
out, Bloomberg News reported. “The U.S. will get downgraded; it’s a
question of when,” said Scott Mather, Pimco’s head of global portfolio
management, according to the news service. That said, “Pimco expects the debate over the fiscal cliff will end in
fiscal consolidation, but not a fiscal catastrophe. Of the
$700-billion-plus in potential fiscal contraction on the table, we
expect around $200 billion to $250 billion to actually materialize,”

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 13,557 up 5.22 or 0.04 % from Tuesday's close of 13,551.78. For the year the Dow is up 10.96%. Of the Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar up $1.60 and percentage-wise was Alcoa up 2.57%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM down $10.50 or 4.98%.
WSJ pC4 "Dow stretches win streak to 4" by Jonathan Cheng says IBM weighed heavily on the Dow as it and Intel both had disappointing earnings reports Tues and IBM is chated under Bad News. Home Depot benefiting from the housing rebound rose 53 cents.
NYT pB8 "Shares gain on housing, but IBM drags on Dow" by Reutes says the S&P rose for the 3rd straight session after housing starts hit a 4 year high.
Fin Times p24 "BofA pares early gains as profits fall 94% afte $2.4 bil settlement" by Arash Massoudi says the S&P has risen 2.3% so far this week amid mmixed results from firms reporting 3Q profits. Caterpillar rose 2%.
IBD pB2 "NYSE, S&P rise again while techs show fatigue" by David Saito-Chung says the major indexes had minor gains during a seesaw session Wed as the action saw small gians in mildly higher trade and the current outlook is the market is in a correction.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,765.34 up 0.68 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,764.66. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.84 up 2 cent from Tuesday's closing numerator of $58.82. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.12 (DIS/UNH) up 3 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $54.09 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was 3M 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 made $68 ($176,534 - $176,466).
MarketWatch.com Wed. 10/16/12 4:11 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks
on Wednesday finished with mild gains, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.04% rising for a fourth session in its longest win streak in nearly five weeks, after data had new-home construction hitting a four-year high. "We continue to have one sector that is increasingly positive -- housing -- and today's data proves that out again," said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 5.22 points to 13,557. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.41% climbed 5.99 points to 1,460.91. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.10% gained 2.95 points to 3,104.12.
