The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 13,107.21 up 3.53 or 0.03% from Thurday's close of 13,103.68. For the week the Dow was down 236.3 or 1.77% from last Friday's close of 13,343.51. Of the Dow components 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.67 and percentage-wise was Intel up 1.2%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Procter & Gamble down 63 cents and percentage-wise was Bank of America down 1.3%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.94 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.92 (year ago it was 13.45); today's P/E estimate is 12.59 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.59 (year ago it was 11.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.59 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.59 (last year it was 2.54). 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.
Frisday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,706.77 up 0.07 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,706.70. 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 $56.89 unchanged up from Thursday's average of $56.89. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.93 (DIS/UNH) down 27 cents from yesterday's median closing price of 53.20. 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 $70 ($170,677 - $170,670).
Friday 4:36 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Fri. finished with weekly losses
after earnings reports did little to offset worry about the global economy. “When you saw these solid companies reporting basically negative revenue growth, it painted a very clear picture that the global economy is growing at a very modest rate,” said Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management in Des Peres, Mo., pointing to Dow components International Business Machines Corp. IBM +0.87% and McDonald‘s Corp. MCD -0.71% as among those setting the tone for third-quarter earnings. “Investors are adjusting to a sluggish growth environment and focused on earnings, and it’s clear the global economy is in a slowdown,” Skrainka said. The all-important October monthly jobless rate is released next week, in addition to more earnings from big name U.S. corporations. Finishing with a weekly drop of 1.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.03% added 3.53 points to end at 13,107.21. “Over the last several months, investors have focused on the Federal Reserve, and the Fed going all in. Now the recognition is taking hold that quantitative easing has less and less effect at this stage of the game, and the troubles in Europe, the slowdown in China, and the year-end issues facing the U.S. provide the fuel for this correction,” said Skrainka. Down 1.5% for the week, the S&P 500 index SPX -0.07% fell 1.03 point to 1,411.94, with financials falling the most and telecommunications the best performer among its 10 sectors.
Down 0.6% from the week-ago finish, the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.06% rose 1.83 point, or less than 0.1%, to 2,987.95, leaving it with its third consecutive weekly loss. For every two stocks that rose nearly three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 738 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.3 billion. Data had the U.S. economy expanding more than forecast in the third quarter and consumer sentiment rose in October from the prior month. “The good news is the consumer was more active in the third quarter than the consumer was in the second quarter. We expected good news and this is better news; the only caveat is part of the increase is government spending, and that is going away,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets.
Ahead of Friday’s open, U.S. stock futures had fallen sharply in disappointment over quarterly results from Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. “The stock market is going to spend some time trying to digest what Apple and Amazon mean. Apple was still priced for perfection and didn’t deliver that, and Amazon was worse,” Hogan said. Apple AAPL -0.91% reported a weaker-than-expected 24% jump in earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter and slashed its outlook. And Amazon.com AMZN +6.87% reported a wider-than-expected third-quarter loss. The government reported the U.S. economy picked up speed in the third quarter, growing 2% versus 1.3% in the second quarter. Analysts had expected the initial reading on growth in gross domestic product for the third quarter to come in at 1.7%. Separately, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final index of consumer sentiment for October rose to 82.6 from 78.3 the month before.

Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,103.68 up 26.34 or 0.2% from Wednesday's close of 13,077.34. For the year the Dow is up 7.3%.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks lurch to small gains" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks notched a win after seesawing between gains & losses as investors chewed over middling readings on corp health & the US economy. Procter & Gamble was up 2.9% after it reported 1Q earnings that exceeded analysts' estimates although rev fell a bit shy P&G maintained its full year earnings & sales outlooks.
NYT pB6 "More disappointment and modest gains" by Reuters says stocks ended with small gains on Thurs as worries about weak business spending kept investors wary. There were a few bright sponts like Procter & Gamble which rose 2.9% after reporting stronger than expected results.

Fin Times p24 "Microsoft muted despite launch of windows 8 and Surface tablet" by Arash Massoudi says Microsoft shares were quiet yesterday as Wall Street stocks fluctuated between gains & losses for the day before settling higher.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,706.70 up 0.54 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,706.16. 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.

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 $56.89 2 Cents up from Wednesday's average of $56.87.

Thursday 4:09 MarketWatch by Polya Lesova says U.S. stocks ended slightly higher on Thursday as several reports cast a more favorable light on the global economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.20% gained 26.34 points, or 0.2%, to 13,103.68. Shares of Procter & Gamble Co.PG +2.92% rose 2.9%, leading gainers on the Dow after the consumer-products company reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 that exceeded estimates.

The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.15% gained 4.42 points, or 0.2%, to 2,986.12.
Friday's Dow News followed by Thursday's Closing Dow Numbers:
AT&T: WSJ pB5 "Sprint hit by defections, base shrinks" by Thomas Gryta says Sprint lost 456,000 contract customers customers in the latest quarter compared with an addition of 151,000 for AT&T and 1.5 mil new contract customers for Verizon.
Alcoa: No mentions found.
American Express: No mentions found.
Bank of America: WSJ pC1 "Taking early exits off Wall St" by Leslie Kwoh says young investment bankers are getting burned out and taking solo motorcycle trips and other such actions to find themselves including bankers from Bank of America and JPMorgan.
IBD pA1 "HUD, not BofA, cheated Fannie mae, Freddie Mac" by Paul Sperry says the Justice Department is taking aim Wed at Bank of America seeking up to $3 bil in penalties for allegedly defrauding Fannie Mae and Freddie mac. According to the BofA suit, Countrywide allegedly rubberstamped mortgages to risky borrowers and hid their defects when it passed them off to Fannie and Freddie. Sperry's take on all this is "In other words, a private lender took advantage of the government-sponsored agencies, who didn't know the junk they were buying". But Sperry says Fannie and Freddie were sued last year by the SEC saying Fannie and Freddie were not the victims, they were "toxic twins" who themselves mislded invetors. Sperry says Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac "worked closely with Countrywide to develop risky loan products". So Sperry ends his colum with the question "So who defrauded whom?" as if you chould escape culpability if you had other accomplices. Sperry is saying that Bank of America should not be sued because they had co-conspirators. Hey, Sperry, Bank of America is being sued on behalf of US taxpayers, not Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As my civil procedure professor would say, "Like, duh, dude."
Boeing: WSJ pB3 "Big Boeing supplier takes a hit" by Jon Ostrower says Boeing's huge supplier, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings took a $590 mil charge on work it does building wings and engine parts.

IBD pA4 "JPMorgan banked on American ascendancy" by Scott Smith is another one of Investor Business Daily's gushing pieces that could double as a recommendation for sainthood. This time its on J.P. Morgan (it doesn't even tell you what "JP" stands for but you can treat this puff piece as a brainteaser and figure it out - my guess is JP stands for Junius Pierpont.) The best part of these features are the photos because at least Wikipedia may tell you something about the other side of the profiled person. Study the picture of 'ol JP. It truly will inspire you because you will say to yourself "if this shlubby looking guy could do it, so I could I, I only have a double chin and I'm not cross-eyed."
Johnson & Johnson: No mentions found.
McDonald's: No mentions found.
Merck: No mentions found.

Fin Times p24 "Microsoft muted despite launch of windows 8 and Surface tablet" by Arash Massoudi says Microsoft shares were quiet yesterday as Wall Street stocks fluctuated between gains & losses for the day before settling higher.

Procter & Gamble was up 2.9% after it reported 1Q earnings that exceeded analysts' estimates although rev fell a bit shy P&G maintained its full year earnings & sales outlooks. P7G earnings were down 6.9% & rev fell 4% due to foreign exchange rates but core earnings of $1.06 a share beat the 97 cent view.
NYT pB6 "More disappointment and modest gains" by Reuters says stocks ended with small gains on Thurs as worries about weak business spending kept investors wary. There were a few bright sponts like Procter & Gamble which rose 2.9% after reporting stronger than expected results.
