The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,542.38 down 28.57 or 1.59% from Thursday's close of 12,542.38. For the week the Dow is up 273.01 or 2.13% from last Friday's close of 12,815.39.

As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.70 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.75 (year ago it was 12.64); today's P/E estimate is 12.15 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.22) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.82 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.73 (last year it was 2.66.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,639.20 up 5.98 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,633.22. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices.

Now, if you divide the Dow numerator increase for today by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the increase 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54644 up 20 cents from Thursday's average of $54.44. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.66 (DIS/UNH) up 30 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $49.36.

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 $598 ($163,920 - $163,322).
11/16/12 Fri. 4:24 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks climbed Friday, denting weekly losses, as optimistic words followed the opening round of negotiations on averting automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to begin Jan. 1. “It’s a distinct positive that they came out and said, ‘We talked, we saw some common ground.’ It’s not in either party’s interests to go over the cliff,” said Jim Dunigan, managing executive, investments, PNC Wealth Management, after congressional leaders emerged from the meeting with President Barack Obama and labeled the discussions “constructive.” Halting a four-session losing run, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.37% added 45.93 points, or 0.4%, to 12,588.31, leaving it with a 1.8% weekly loss.
The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.48% rose 6.55 points, or 0.5%, to 1,359.88, down 1.5% from the week-ago finish. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.57% advanced 16.19 points, or 0.6%, to 2,853.13, off 1.8% for the week. For every stock on the decline, nearly three rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 949 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 4 billion.
The price of oil climbed on concerns of supply disruption on intensified fighting in the Middle East. Crude futures for December delivery CLZ2 +1.37% rose $1.22, or 1.4%, to $86,67 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Palestinian missiles hit areas around Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and Israel increased its bombing of the Gaza Strip, according to media accounts. The missile fired at Jerusalem is the first since the 1967 Middle East war, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
Ahead of Friday’s opening bell, stock-index futures had gained after a Wall Street Journal report that the White House is in discussions to replace spending reductions in the so-called fiscal cliff with a smaller package of cuts and tax hikes. After meeting with President Obama on Friday, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid voiced optimism that they have a framework for a deal and they viewed the meeting as constructive .“Thank you, congressional leadership, for coming to your senses. I guess more than a 1,000-points down on the Dow industrials since the election was their wake-up call,” noted Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. State budget chiefs have begun setting aside money and looking for programs they can quickly scale back if leaders in Washington fail to reach a deal to avoid sending the economy over the so-called fiscal cliff.
“It’s a distinct positive that they came out and said ‘we talked, we saw some common ground.’ It’s not in either party’s interests to go over the cliff,” said Jim Dunigan, managing executive, investments, PNC Wealth Management. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said there should be a goal to avert the cliff by Christmas, while Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Boehner both said Republicans were willing to put revenue on the table to reach a deal. “The challenge of this process is you’re held hostage to the headlines, every time someone mutters something in front of the cameras. Today we got a ray of sunshine, but that could change with the next comment,” said PNC’s Dunigan. “It’s hard enough to forecast what companies are going to do, but politicians? There’s an argument that with six weeks to the end of the year, wouldn’t it be more sensible to look in performance and take risk off the table after a pretty good year,” said Garry Evans, global head of equity strategy at HSBC Holdings PLC in London. “The way I see it is we have a $1.3 trillion deficit, the pedal to the floor monetary policy, and all we have to show for it is 2% growth,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago. Industrial production in the U.S. unexpectedly fell in October as superstorm Sandy took out power in the northeast, with output at factories, mines and utilities declining 0.4% last month.
