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 made $1,773 ($172,310 - $170,537).
11/1/12 Thurs. 4:25 MarketWatch by Deborah Levine & Polya Lesova says U.S. stocks started Nov. strong due to good news from US & China that the global economic recovery remains on track.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.04% advanced 136.16 points, or 1%, to end at 13,232.62, with only three of its 30 components losing ground. It rose as high as 13,273.71 intraday.
Glimpses of Sandy's impact on business emerge as airlines and hotels report
lost revenue while builders of infrastructure like power lines say repair work
could boost their bottom lines. This is the blue-chip index’s largest point gain since Sept. 13. The S&P 500 index SPX
+1.09%
gained 15.43 points, or 1.1%, to 1,427.59, with industrials
and information technology the top gainers among its 10 major industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite COMP
+1.44%
climbed 42.83 points, or 1.4%, to 3,020. Advancers outnumbered decliners by a three-to-one ratio on the New York Stock
Exchange.
“The data still tells me we’re in a modest growth and modest inflation
economy going into next year,”said Scott Wren, senior equity strategist at Wells
Fargo Advisors. Still, he said some caution is warranted as the day’s outsized moves come
after a pullback in recent weeks, with Friday bringing the government’s monthly
employment report. Also, the presidential election on Tuesday will be key in how
the U.S. will tackle a package of expiring tax breaks and spending measures that
threaten to push the economy into a recession. “I don’t think you can read too much into this particular bounce but we want
clients positioned for a continuation of the recovery,” Wren said. “I don’t want
to read too much into the day’s move because tomorrow could erase it with one
fell swoop or build on it.” The economic data was mostly positive on Thursday. Shortly after the market opened, the Conference Board said its consumer-confidence index increased to 72.2 in October from a downwardly revised 68.4 in September. The Institute for Supply Management’s index of purchasing managers edged up to in October, with the data exceeding Wall Street expectations.“We have improving U.S. economic data across the board, juxtaposed against worries about the fiscal cliff,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets, of reports illustrating improved confidence and “mildly better” manufacturing data. The day began on a higher note after better-than-expected economic data from China, which was “followed up with better reports from ADP and jobless claims,” Hogan said. Employment-related data released before markets opened also pointed in a good direction. Payroll-processing firm ADP said 158,000 private-sector jobs were created in October. Separately, the government said that weekly applications for unemployment benefits fell by 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 363,000. “Nothing we heard today would suggest we’re going to see a real significant acceleration in the economy or significant acceleration in hiring,” Wren said.
The labor report Friday will probably be viewed more for how it will affect the election, with particular attention to any rise or fall in the unemployment rate, since the general public tends to focus more on that, he said. In Asia, two Chinese manufacturing surveys showed signs of economic recovery. Shares of Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM +0.47% , a Dow component, gained 0.5% even after it reported a 7% decline in third-quarter earnings due to lower production.
Top gainers in the Dow included Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.41% , Caterpillar Inc.CAT +3.35% and Microsoft Corp.MSFT +3.42% The stock market reopened on Wednesday after a two-day shutdown due to Hurricane Sandy; the major U.S. stock indexes declined in October, posting their first monthly loss since May. The S&P 500 fell 2% in October.

The following are excerpts from Thursday 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 & & amp; 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 Wed at 13,096.46 down 10.75 or 0.08% from Friday's close of 13,107.21. The US stock market was closed Mon. and Tues. due to Hurricane Sandy. For the year the Dow is up7.19 %. Of the Dow components 11 gained, AT&T was unchanged and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Home Depot up $1.38 and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 2.36%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Disney down 97 cents or 1.94%.
WSJ pC1 "Wall St sputters back to life" by Tom Lauricela et al says powered by generators, surrounded by flooding & staffed at partial strength, the Big Board cranked back to life yesterday opening for the first time since Sandy swept across the E. Coast. Home Depot was the biggest gainer amid expectations of a sales jump due to Sandy.
NYT pB1 "Smooth reopening of NYSE reassures investors" by Michael J de la Merced" says panic did not seem to seep the markets. Shares of insurers were down. reavelers whose stock had been trending down for several days closed down 0.87%. Trading volume was average was 6.3 bil shares. The daily average for '12 through last Friday was 6.51 bil shares.
IBD pB2 "Small caps, NYSE advance; nasdaq off 4.5% in Oct" by David Saito-Chung says the major indexes reopened Wed after an historic hiatus & finished mixed in mixed volume as the market is still in a correction. Disney and Lucasfilm positive demand for shares.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,705.37 down 1.40 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,706.77. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.85 down 4 cents from Friday's average of $56.89. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.57 (DIS/UNH) down 36 cents from Friday's median closing price of 52.93. 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 lost $140 ($170,677 - $170,537).
10/31/12 Wed. 3:37 MarketWatch by Myra P. Saefong says U.S. stocks wavered Wednesday, with benchmark indexes teasing the flatline ahead of the close, as a post-Hurricane Sandy jump in Home Depot Inc.’s stock provided some support for the Dow industrials, but Facebook Inc. shares weighing down the Nasdaq Composite Index. The markets are “smashing together three days of trading into one as it digests both good and bad earnings announcements,” said Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisors in Sacramento, Calif. President Barack Obama and Congress have put the U.S. on course to go over a so-called fiscal cliff. David Wessel tells you everything you need to know but were afraid to ask. Sandy had prompted a two-day shutdown of the New York Stock Exchange, with New York City and the East Coast hit hard by the storm on Monday evening. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.08% added 3 points at 13,110.63, after trading as high as 13,189.08. It’s around 2.4% lower for the month. Trading had started on a “positive note with equities headed higher, likely due to the positive news out of Europe and the reaction to some recent earnings reports out of the likes of Ford, GM and BP,” said Ryan Wibberley, president and founder of CIC Wealth Management Group. Home Depot HD +2.23% shares climbed 2.5% — ranked as the top gainer in the blue-chip benchmark. Insurance firm Travelers Cos. TRV-0.87% shares fell 0.8%. “Stocks in the housing/construction/industrial sectors, like Home Depot, Lowe’s Cos. LOW+3.25% , [and] Owens Corning OC +6.84% are on the rise because these companies will likely benefit from the rebuilding that will follow in the Northeast after Hurricane Sandy,” added Wibberley. But insurance companies saw pressure “as market participants try to sort out how much of an earnings hit these companies will take in the fourth quarter, due to the massive destruction in the New York/New Jersey area,” he wrote in emailed comments. General Motors Co.GM +9.54% shares rose 10% after the company posted third-quarter earnings per share of 93 cents that were better than expected, excluding one-time items. Ford Motor Co.’s F +8.24% stock added 8%. The company reported healthy third-quarter profit margins Tuesday, when the stock market was closed. Down about 1.9% for the month, the S&P 500 Index SPX+0.02% rose 1.1 point, or 0.1%, at 1,413.20, with health-care and information technology falling the most and utilities the best performing among its 10 sectors. The Nasdaq COMP-0.36% fell 10.25 points, or 0.3%, at 2,977.70, trading 4.5% lower for the month to date. Shares of Facebook FB -3.79% fell 4.2% as the post-IPO lockup on about 229 million shares expired, making them available to the open market. /AAPL 594.80, -0.52, -0.09%
Apple Inc. AAPL-0.09% saw its stock lose 0.9% as investors reacted to a management shake-up that included the impending departure of Scott Forstall, head of the iOS mobile platform. On Wednesday, advancers outpaced decliners on the NYSE, where 507 million shares traded as of 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume topped 2.7 billion. U.S. data out Wednesday showed that the Chicago PMI business barometer edged up in October to 49.9% from 49.7% in the prior month, but remained below the key 50% mark for the second straight month. Readings below 50% indicate contraction. Some key releases this week include jobless claims and the ADP national employment report on Thursday, as well as the Labor Department’s October jobs data Friday. Friday’s nonfarm-payroll figures will be a consideration “as we head to the polls next Tuesday,” said CIC’s Wibberley, referring to the U.S. presidential election. “The rebuilding of the Northeast is likely to stoke the view that the economy will get a shot in the arm and that many businesses will be looking to hire, at least for the short-term,” he added. In other key markets Wednesday, the ICE dollar index DXY+0.02% was modestly lower, while gold GCZ2+0.55% and oil CLZ2+0.54% futures and Treasurys10_YEAR -1.63% climbed.
