The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 13,494.61 or 12.25 or 0.09 % from Tuesday's close of 13,482.36. Of the Dow components 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot u $1.44 or 2.39%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down $2.22 or 12.96%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.69 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.72 (year ago it was 12.06); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 12.75 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.75 (year ago it was 11.15) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.49 (last year it was 2.86). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,757.21 up 1.59 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,755.62. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.57 up 5 cents from Tuesday's closing numerator of $58.52. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.67 (DIS/UNH) up 44 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $54.23 (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 made $159 ($175,721 - $175,562).
MarketWatch.com Wed. 10/3/12 5:19 pm by Carla Mozee & Kate Gibson says US blue chip stocks
stocks closed higher Wednesday, with modest gains following upbeat data on U.S. private-sector job growth and activity in the services sector. But blue-chips struggled during the session as Hewlett-Packard Co.’sq HPQ -12.96% stock plunged to multi-year lows after the company’s disappointing forecast underscored concerns about corporate profitability ahead of the start of earnings season.
“There’s an overall concern that this earnings season is going to be weak,” said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive and founder of Destination Wealth Management in Walnut Creek, Calif. For years, commodities investors had it easy-just buy anything that China was buying. Now, with China's growth slowing and demand for raw materials easing, investors are being forced to work a bit harder.
“You’ve already seen announcements from FedEx Corp. FDX +1.33% , which tends to be a bellwether for economic growth. H-P adds to that concern,” said Yoshikami, noting that H-P’s soft guidance is also a “dramatic example because they have some specific business issues they are dealing with.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.09% rose 12.25 points, or 0.1%, to 13,494.61, with shares of Home Depot Inc. HD +2.39% topping advancers. The Dow had been up by as many as 54 points after a better-than-expected readings on the labor market and the services sector from Automatic Data Processing and the Institute for Supply Management, respectively.
Blue-chips had lost as many as 43 points intraday, with decliners paced by shares of H-P, which slid 13% and closed at a nearly 10-year low. H-P issued a weak adjusted-earnings forecast for fiscal year 2013 and said the year will be a “fix and rebuild” one for the company. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.49% pared its gain to 15.19 points, or 0.5%, to 3,135.23, but marked a second consecutive win. The S&P 500 SPX +0.36% also finished off session highs but it logged a third straight day of gains. The index rose 5.24 points, or 0.4%, to 1,450.99 with telecommunications services, consumer discretionary and financials faring best and energy and materials the laggards among its 10 industry groups. Crude prices tumbled on worries about the global economy as China’s services industries in September expanded at a lackluster pace, while euro-area services and manufacturing shrank for an eighth month. Crude for November delivery CLX2 +0.06% settled at a two-month low, falling 4.1% to $88.14 a barrel. Yoshikami said he’s been sticking with stocks as he sees the market reasonably valued. “I think the alternative, which is fixed income, pay essentially nothing. Most importantly, the Federal Reserve has a stated policy of trying to inflate the stock market to increase the wealth effect. This is a classic case of not fighting the Federal Reserve’s intentions.” Two days before the Labor Department releases September payrolls data, ADP reported that private payrolls rose by 162,000 in September, more than the 152,000 Dow Jones Newswires-compiled consensus, and lower than the prior month’s revised gain of 189,000. “The ADP report looked pretty good — that should give some positive hope to the overall market, which is experiencing a migration of concern from areas such as Greece and the fiscal cliff over to the third-quarter earnings season,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners in New York. Meanwhile, Monsanto Co.MON -2.18% shares fell 2.2% after the agricultural supply company projected 2013 earnings below expectations. Shares of Best Buy Co. BBY +4.66% rallied 4.7% on a Reuters report that its founder and buyout companies were reviewing the electronic retailer’s books. Decliners ran slightly ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where 666 million shares traded as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume reached 3.5 billion. And, the ISM’s September reading on the services sector also topped expectations, coming in at 55.1% versus 53.7% in August, with the latest level the best since March.
“The non-manufacturing index continues to show relative strength in the service sector which accounts for roughly 83% of all private-sector jobs in the economy. This is unquestionably positive,” noted Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. “The U.S. economy is hanging in there, especially compared to its other developed-world brethren in Europe,” emailed Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,482.36 or 32.75 or 0.24 % from Monday's close of 13,437.13. For the year the Dow is up 10.35%. Of the Dow components 10 gained and 20declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron up 74 cents or 0.63 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's down $1.07 and percentage-wise was DuPont down 1.73%.
WSJ pC8 "Dow falls as Spain sparks wild ride" by Chris Dieterich says the Dow edged lower after Spain's prime minister undercut speculation that Spain is moving fast to request a eurozone bailout, but stocks bounced back and the S&P had a small gain. Microsoft added 17 cents overtaking Google and Walmart to regain its place as the 3rd largest US firm by market cap.
NYT pB2 "Despite a volatile day, little change by the end" by Reuters says concerns about the coming quarterly corjp reporting period which starts in earnest next week added to the cautious tone.
IBD pB4 "Stocks edge up in lower vol as Apple rebounds" by Vic Reklaitis says the market continued to seek direction afte erasing morning gains and finishing positive. The current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,755.62 down 4.26 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,759.88. 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 numeratordecrease 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.52 down 14 cents from Monday's closing numerator of $58.66. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.23 (DIS/UNH) down 4 cents from Monday's median closing price of $54.27 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Tuesday 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 $426 ($175,562 - $175,988).
MarketWatch.com Tues. 10/2/12 3:08 pm by Myra P. Saefong says
Blue-chip stocks fell Tuesday, pressured by concerns ahead of quarterly reports on earnings and outlooks as traders mulled Spain’s prospects for a bailout request and credit-rating downgrade.
The Nasdaq Composite, meanwhile, struggled to put an end to a two-session decline.
In a raid that stands out even in Wall Street's aggressive
recruiting culture, Merrill Lynch is arming some managers with lists of
top Morgan Stanley Wealth Management brokers who are considered ripe for
defection.“We would not be surprised to see a few days like this scattered into
the rally as traders get ready” for third-quarter results and for fiscal
year 2013 indicators, said Richard Hastings, a macro strategist at
Global Hunter Securities. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.24%
shed 72.65 points, or 0.5%, to 13,442.46, with most of its 30 components trading in negative territory. Microsoft Corp.
MSFT
+0.58%
, up 0.2%, was a top gainer in the Dow, while DuPont
DD
-1.71%
fell 2.1%. The S&P 500 index
SPX
+0.09%
slipped 4.36 points, or 0.3%, to 1,440.13. Of the benchmark index’s 10
sectors, health care and utilities were the leading gainers, while
materials were the largest decliner. “The defensive sectors of the market appear to be outperforming,” said
Clark Yingst, chief market analyst from securities and investment
banking firm Joseph Gunnar, pointing out that several pharmaceutical
stocks, for example, are “extending their recent uptrends and, in some
cases, revisiting levels last seen four or five years ago.”“It is interesting to us that defensive sectors of the market have
performed relatively well behind the official announcement and launch of
QE3,” he said. “The strength could reflect investor skepticism
regarding the impact of QE3 on real economic activity. It could also be
attributable to concerns regarding pending earnings reports in cyclical
economically-sensitive sectors of the market, concerns that, in our
view, are warranted.”The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.21%
fell 9.96 points, or 0.3%, to 3,103.57, after trading as high as 3,131.64 earlier. Research In Motion Ltd.
RIMM
+5.22%
bucked the overall trend, trading 5.9% higher.On Tuesday, decliners edged ahead of advancers on the New York Stock
Exchange, where 355 million shares traded as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern.
Composite volume topped 2.3 billion.
Rajoy,
however, has said he does not plan to ask for a bailout this weekend,
according to a report in Europa Press Tuesday. Reuters also reported
that Moody’s Investors Service will announce the
results of its review of Spain’s sovereign debt rating this month.Aside
from euro-zone news, traders will keep an eye on quarterly
financial reports and guidance as the earnings season kicks into full
gear starting next week, with earnings from Alcoa Inc.
AA
-0.67%
on Oct. 9. Investors are beginning “to worry that corporate earnings will not only
be down, but be worse than expected,” said Keith Springer, president of
Springer Financial Advisors in Sacramento, Calif. On Monday, the Dow gained 0.6% after data showed activity in the U.S.
manufacturing sector rose in September to its highest level in four
months. There were little economic data Tuesday. CoreLogic reported a 0.3% gain
in home prices in August, taking the year-on-year rise to 4.6%.
In other trading action Tuesday, gold
GCZ2
-0.31%
and crude-oil futures
CLX2
-0.85%
closed lower. The euro
EURUSD
+0.2326%
gained ground against the greenback.
