The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,473.53 down 110.12 or 0.81 % from Monday's close of 13,583.65. Of the Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's up 59 cents or 0.64%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $1.60 and percentage-wise was Intel down 2.71%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.79 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.82 (year ago it was 12.75); today's P/E estimate is 12.79 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.79 (year ago it was 11.25) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.49 (last year it was 2.71). 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,754.47 down 13.64 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,768.11. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices.

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 lost $1,364 ($176,881 - $175,447).
MarketWatch.com Tues. 10/9/12 3:33 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks fell sharply Tuesday, with the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq extending losses into a third day, as investors braced for earnings and the International Monetary Fund cut global-growth outlooks. “Earnings season is not starting off to be a good one,” offered Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.

AAPL +0.20% slid into correction mode, meaning it retreated more than 10% from its record $702.10 on Sept. 19, with the smartphone maker falling to as low as $623.55 a share, and lately off 44 cents at $637.73. “Tech is weak across the board, and we’re going into an earnings season that is going to be the toughest in three years,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. Intel Corp. INTC -2.71% lost 2.8% after Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. downgraded shares of the Dow component and semiconductor maker. Netflix Inc.NFLX -10.87% fell 9.9% after Bank of America Corp. cut its rating to underperform. Edwards Lifesciences Corp.

For every stock rising more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 353 million shares traded as of 3:15 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume topped 2.3 billion. “We’re in the sobering up period; last month was so euphoric, the Fed gave us everything we wanted and more, all the problems in Europe were solved, and now it’s the morning after and we realize there are still problems in Europe, and with the IMF report, maybe we’re tilting back towards recession, at least on a global basis,” said McCain at Key Private Bank. And, the fact that the U.S. presidential race seems to have tightened in recent days could also be weighing on the market. Regardless of which candidate one favors, “the public doesn’t like uncertainty over the next four years, so you tend to have a selloff when you get close to elections,” said McCain. The euro dropped against the U.S. dollar EURUSD -0.6790% as German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Athens, where she was greeted by mass demonstrations as she reiterated her stance that she wants Greece to remain in the euro. In Luxembourg, European finance ministers gathered for a second day after pronouncing, on Monday, the European Stability Mechanism, or permanent rescue fund, operational. “People see what’s going on in the real world, and that’s creating some nervousness in the context of a complacent market driven by central bankers, with the thinking we’ll never go down because of all the money they print,” said Boockvar at Miller Tabak. On Monday, the S&P 500 closed nearly 7% below its all-time high of 1,565.15, which was reached exactly five years ago Tuesday

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Tuesday's ,Investor's Business Daily, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, 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 Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 13,583.65 down 26.5 or 0.19 % from Friday's close of 13,610.15.For the year the Dow is up 11.2%. Of the Dow components 11 gained, Coke was unchanged and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's up 54 cents and percentage-wise was UnitedHealt up 0.82%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot down $1.32 or 2.09%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks stumble as earnings beckon" by Matt Jarzemsky says US stocks followed overseas markets lower as investors fretted over a sluggish earnings outlook, debt laden Europe & China's slowing economy. Alcoa reports earnings Tues. UnitedHealth gained 47 cents after saying it would buy 90% of Brazil's Amil Participacoes. Disney fell 64 cents after analysts at Caris lowerd their ratings to average from abgove average. Disney's stock is up 40% this year.
Fin Times p24 "UnitedHealth rises as Brazil plan promises to widen presence abroad" by Arash Massoudi says UnitedHealth's shares rose after it said it would buy 90% of Amil. Alcoa rose 0.3% as it prepared to start the 3Q reportings season Tues followed by JPMorgan later in the week. American Express rose 0.4% after it said it would team with Walmart to provide lower income custoemrs with prepaid debit card. Walmart was up 0.2%.
IBD pB2 "Stocks fall in light trade; techs suffer hardest blow by Vincent Mao says stocks fell in quiet trading Mon asa the tech suffered the most as stocks fall in light Columbus Day trade. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend. Hewlett-Packard and others have issued warnings due to weakness in Europe.
NYT pB9 "Markets fall on expectation of weak earnings reports" by Reuters says the stocfk market slipped in light Columbus Day trading on Mon, pulling back from its highest levels in close to years as investors braced for an earnings season that is expected to be weak.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,768.81 down 3.45 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,772.26. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.96 down 12 cents from Friday's closing numerator of $59.08. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.97 (DIS/UNH) down 8 cents from Friday's median closing price of $55.05 (DIS/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Monday 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 $345 ($177,226 -$176,881).
MarketWatch.com Mon. 10/8/12 4:16 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Monday retreated from near five-year highs as investors braced for what’s expected to be a weak earnings season.
“We’ve probably managed to set the bar low enough that we can get over the top of it,” Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group, said of lowered estimates for coming results, which could have American corporations breaking an 11-quarter streak of year-over-year gains in earnings. Halting a three-session win streak, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.19% fell 26.50 points, or 0.2%, to 13,583.65. Historically, Alcoa has acted as a barometer for how the rest of the market has performed during past earnings seasons. Dow component and aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. AA +0.33% is slated to release quarterly results after the close of regular U.S. trading Tuesday. Personal-computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co.HPQ-1.83% has already warned its 2012 profit will come in below analysts’ estimates, and shipper FedEx Corp. FDX-0.12% has trimmed its yearly earnings outlook as well. But Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, also played down any notion that third-quarter results would include any shocks major enough to send Wall Street into a tailspin. A correction of 3% to 5% is due in any event in light of Wall Street’s climb that has pushed the S&P 500 IndexSPX-0.35% nearly higher 16% this year, Luschini noted. “Expectations have been sufficiently lowered, so it probably leads to a low hurdle for companies to exceed dumbed-down expectations,” he said. Falling for a second session, the S&P 500 index SPX-0.35% declined 5.05 points, or 0.4%, to 1,455.88, with technology and telecommunications hit the hardest among its 10 sectors. Also extending its slide into a second session, the Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.76% lost 24.58 points, or 0.8%, to 3,111.61.
Apple Inc. /AAPL-2.21% shares fell 2.2% after a China Labor Watch report that a Foxconn factory in China had been crippled by a strike. The Taiwanese company and Apple contractor denied the report by the labor-watchdog group. Facebook Inc. FB -2.44% slipped 2.4% after BTIG LLC downgraded the social network. Netflix Inc. /NFLX+10.46% gained more than 10% after Morgan Stanley upgraded the video-subscription service. For every two stocks rising three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where a measly 464 million shares traded in light Columbus Day volume. Composite volume just topped 2.3 billion. With relatively sparse personnel in today, that’s another reason to follow on the heels of Europe,” Stone said of the federal holiday that had the both the government and bond market closed. In Luxembourg, euro-area ministers gathered as investors looked for any signals that Spain would ask for rescue funds.Asia’s slowing economic growth and Europe’s unresolved fiscal issues reinforced market thoughts of reduced demand for oil, with the November crude futures CLX2-0.18% finishing below $90 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The World Bank on Monday reduced its forecast for the East Asia and Pacific region, while cautioning the slowdown in China could get worse.
