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 $553 ($177,226 - $176,773).
MarketWatch.com Fri. 10/5/12 5:16 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks finished mixed Friday, but posted weekly gains,
as enthusiasm over a drop in the U.S. unemployment rate gave way to
caution ahead of the beginning of the quarterly earnings season.The S&P 500

climbed 34.79 points, or 0.3%, to end at 13,610.15, its highest closing
value since December 2007. The blue-chip index posted a weekly gain of
1.3%.
Stocks had rallied during the session after data showed the economy
added 114,000 jobs in September, and the unemployment rate fell to 7.8%,
its lowest level since January 2009.
“It’s a continuation of what we’ve been seeing: modest growth but
nothing spectacular. But we’re not moving back into recession,” Brad
Sorensen, director of market and sector research at the Schwab Center
for Financial Research, said of the September jobs report.‘I’m not going to buy into any political conspiracy theories.”Brad Sorensen, Schwab Center for Financial Research In late trade, however, stocks turned mostly lower as investors eyed the
start of third-quarter earnings season on Tuesday when aluminum giant
Alcoa Inc.

will report results. Friday’s session echoes a pattern in play in recent weeks that has Wall
Street “making a decisive move up or down in the morning, go sideways
and then retrace half the move before the close,” said Arthur Hogan, a
strategist at Lazard Capital Markets.“We’re in wait-and-see mode. We’re waiting to see what happens with the
election, we’re waiting to see what happens with the fiscal cliff, and
we’re waiting to see what happens with Europe,” Hogan said. Next week the market will get “company-specific announcements that could
be indicative of broader economic trends,” Matthew Kaufler, portfolio
manager at Federated Investors, said of third-quarter earnings season.“The expectations bar is as low as it’s been this entire cycle (since
2009). Even though corporate America continues to find a way to eke out
profits out of slowing top-line revenue growth, it’ll be uninspiring at
best,” offered Hogan of the results ahead.Advancers outpaced decliners by 17 to 13 on the New York Stock Exchange,
where around 600 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.1

on Tuesday. J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo are due to report earnings next
Friday. The U.S. dollar held steady as Treasury notes fell, while oil prices declined for a third week.Equities had added to weekly gains after the Labor Department report,
which included an upward revision to the August number and bolstered
optimism for increased consumer spending ahead of the holiday shopping
season. Details of the monthly data showed averaged hourly earnings
rising by 0.3%, a gain that Sorensen found particular hopeful. “Heading into the holiday season, people are earning a little more
money. After a flat month, that’s a little encouraging,” Sorensen said. Kaufler at Federated Investors said: “Psychologically to see it [the
jobless rate] finally get below 8% is helpful at the margin to
confidence.” “This keeps the Fed’s bias towards easing in place, because the Fed has
emphasized full employment as a primary goal of its policies, so it
reinforces [Federal Reserve Chairman Ben] Bernanke’s perspective that he
needs to keep rates at low levels until employment moves down more
meaningfully,” said Kaufler. In a Twitter posting, former General Electric Co.

Chief Executive Officer Jack Welch accused the White House of
manipulating the employment report for political gain. “As you approach an election, there’s going to be that going on, but if
you look at the trend, it’s really in line with what we’ve seen, so I’m
not going to buy into any political conspiracy theories,” said Sorensen
at Schwab.

MarketWatch.com Thurs. 10/4/12 4:18 pm by Kate Gibson says
U.S. stocks rose on Thursday, with the S&P 500 index gaining for a fourth day, after weekly data offered a positive read on the U.S. labor market a day before the September employment report.‘I doubt the market is reacting to the debate. I do think many investors who are paying attention to this have started discounting an Obama win into prices.’ Jim Russell, US Bank Wealth Management“The market continues to look to data points above expectations, and recently they’ve gotten a few; hopefully, we get a good nonfarm payrolls number tomorrow,” said Jim Russell, chief equity strategist for US Bank Wealth Management in Cincinnati.The market stayed up after the release of minutes from the last Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which had central-bank policy makers saying they could manage the risk associated with its third round of monetary easing. After the two-day gathering that ended Sept. 13, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues said they would purchase as much as $40 billion a month of mortgage securities with the intent of lowering the unemployment rate, which has stalled just above 8%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.60% rose 80.75 points, or 0.6%, to end at 13,575.36, with Bank of America Corp. BAC +3.29% and aluminum producer Alcoa Inc.

Composite volume topped 3.5 billion.Equities gained as the government reported applications for jobless benefits rose to 367,000 last week, below the 370,000 claims projected by analysts.Factory orders also came in better than expected, falling 5.2% in August versus estimates calling for a 5.9% drop. “We did get some modestly positive numbers regarding jobless claims; we’ve had a week of good data, so equity markets are responding very favorably to what we hope is a period of slightly higher growth than what we had been experiencing during the third quarter,” Russell said.The Labor Department will release its report on September nonfarm payrolls at 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Friday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expect that payrolls rose by 110,000 last month. Unemployment is seen ticking up to 8.2% from 8.1%. “I’ve become even more optimistic in the last week; some of the economic data is getting better, with manufacturing and the whole Fed-ECB stimulus underlying the entire market — that gives us some cushion,” said Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates Inc.
