The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,570.95 down 185.23 or 1.45% from Tuesday's close of 12,756.18. Of the Dow components only Cisco gained and 29 declined. The only and therefore biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco up 81 cents or 4.81%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.81 and percentage-wise was Bank of America down 4.81%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.96 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.03 (year ago it was 12.98); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 12.15 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.22) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.65 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.66 (last year it was 2.58). 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 1,636.94 down 24.12 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,661.06. 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 $54.56 down 81 cents from Tuesday's average of $55.37. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.21 (DIS/UNH) down 87 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $50.08. 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 lost $2,421 ($166,110 - $163,694).
11/14/12 Wed. 4:09 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks were slammed Wednesday on worries about efforts to avert more than $600 billion in automatic spending cuts and tax hikes slated to start in January. "The fiscal cliff jars the economy at a time when it does not need to be disturbed too much, it's the last thing people want," said Jim Russell, chief equity strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management. An Israeli strike that killed a Hamas leader leader in the Gaza Strip also increased Wall Street's anxiety, with the price of crude rising 1.1%. Down for a third session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.45% fell 185.23 points, or 1.5%, to 12,570.95, its lowest finish since late June. The S&P 500 Index SPX -1.39% declined 19.04 points, or 1.4%, to 1,355.49, its lowest close since late June. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP -1.29% retreated 37.08 points, or 1.3%, to 2,846.81, its lowest close in five months.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,756.18 down 58.9 or 0.46% from Monday's close of 12,815.16. For the year the Dow is up 4.41%. Of the Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $2.22 or 3.63. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down $1.92 and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 3.22%.
WSJ pC4 "Blue chips retreat to 3 month low" by Matt Jarzemsky says Bluce chips fell to a more than 3 month low as concerns about the fiscal cliff & Greece's debt woes outweighed optimism on Home Depot's upbeat outlook. Microsoft fell 90 cents pacing losses after news that Steven Sinofsky head of Windows business is leaving. Home Depot is charted under Good news after adding $2.22.
NYT pB11 "Shares decline on fiscal concerns in the US and Europe" by AP says stocks closed lower on Tues as fears about fiscal battles in Washington & the troubles in Greece tipped major indexes from gains to losses throughout the day. A surge in Home Depot shares prevented a steeper drop for the Dow.
IBD pB6 "Stocks slide into the close; market still seeks a floor" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks closed poorly Tues ending in the red & near their sessions low as the market is in a correction. Home Depot sounded a positive note for the housing market with its better than expected quarterly earnings repor.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,661.06 down 7.68 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,668.74. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.37 down 25 cents from Monday's average of $55.62. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.08 (DIS/UNH) up 40 cents from Monday's median closing price of 49.68. 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 lost $767 ($166,877 -$166,110).
11/13/12
Tues.
4:54 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson & Wallace Witkowski says
U.S. stocks finished lower Tuesday as worries about the
so-called fiscal cliff overtook the enthusiasm that came with home
improvement retailer Home Depot Inc.’s better-than-expected
results.“Trading like today in reaction to Home Depot is completely
sensible;
other than [that] we have this fiscal-cliff issue,” said Mark Luschini,
chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. Three of the top
economic professors in the U.S. question if the fiscal cliff can be
avoided.Erasing earlier gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average

MSFT

4% loss led the Dow lower after the software maker said its Windows
chief was leaving, effective immediately. The sustainability of any
stock-market rally could be questionable until
progress is made on budget talks, without which more than $600 billion
in automatic tax hikes and spending cuts would kick off in January. Microsoft Windows head Steven Sinofsky is out.“The markets are going to be held hostage to that. It’s just too big of
an event when you’re talking up to 4% of GDP — that’s not
inconsequential,” Luschini added.Wall Street largely wants to see the issue resolved, but how that is
accomplished is less of a concern, according to the strategist. “Whether
you like the outcome or not, businesses can adapt to that.” Home Depot

, the best performer on the index with a 3.6% gain, was among the six
out of 30 Dow components finishing higher. The home-improvement retailer
reported profit that topped expectations. Home Depot’s results “speak to something that has been remarkable: Every
time you count them out, the consumer has come back to hold up their
end of the bargain,” commented Luschini. The S&P 500 Index
SPX
