The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,836.89 up 48.48 or 0.38% from Monday's close of 12,795.96. Of the Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.09 and percentage-wise was, again, Bank of America up 1.45%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont down 38 cents or 0.89%.
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 14.20 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.78 (year ago it was 12.43); today's P/E estimate is 11.99 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 11.99 (year ago it was 12.10) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.68 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.68 (last year it was 2.72). 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 1,671.57 up 6.50 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,665.27. 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 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.72 up 31 cents from Tuesday's average of $55.41. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.10 (DIS/UNH) up 29 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $50.81. 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 made $650 ($167,157- $166,527).
11/21/12 wed. 4:29 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday climbed to two-week highs after a cease-fire deal was reported in the Gaza Strip, with the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite extending gains into a fourth session. U.S. markets will be closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day holiday, and Friday’s session will be abbreviated. The three benchmark indexes are all up 2% or more for the week so far. In Cairo, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr announced a truce between Israel and Hamas after more than a week of airstrikes and missile attacks. This week, the market adopted a more positive tone after President Barack Obama and congressional leaders voiced confidence a budget agreement could be reached to avoid automatic tax hikes and across-the-board spending reductions
otherwise slated to begin in January. “The greatest near-term risk to the economy and labor market remains the looming fiscal cliff. The sooner that an agreement is reached and greater
clarity can be achieved, the better,” wrote Jim Baird, chief investment strategist for Plante Moran Financial Advisors, in an email. “While the media is rampant with ‘fiscal cliff’ worries, I think the year-end rally is near, or has actually begun,” wrote Jeffrey Saut, chief investment
strategist at Raymond James, in a Wednesday research note. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA
+0.38% rose 48.38 points, or 0.4%, to 12,836.89, with 24 of its 30 components gaining
ground. The S&P 500 indexSPX +0.23% gained 3.22 points, or 0.2%, to 1,391.03, with energy the best performing of the 10 major industry groups and the utilities the only sector to end in the red.
“The 1,390 level on the S&P 500 has proven time and again to be a key ‘energy level,’ both on the downside and now on the upside for the markets,” Saut said. Shares of Deere & Co. DE -3.67% fell 3.7% after the agriculture-equipment manufacturer reported earnings that came in shy
of consensus estimates. Salesforce.com Inc.CRM +8.83% gained 8.8% after the customer-management software provider projected sales and profit that met expectations. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.34% advanced 9.87 points, or 0.3%, to 2,926.55. Geoffrey Rogow and Damian Paletta discuss how the fiscal cliff is affecting households, and Mark Hulbert looks at why there will be a Christmas rally in the markets. For every stock that fell just over two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 522 million shares traded. Composite volume surpassed 2.6
billion. Oil prices CLF3 +0.30% rose 63 cents to $87.38 a barrel and gold futuresGCZ2
+0.13% added $4.60 to $1,728.20 an ounce. Also Wednesday, consumer sentiment in November gained slightly to a reading of 82.7 but wasn’t as strong as initially estimated, data compiled by the
University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters showed.Separately, the Conference Board reported it’s likely the U.S. economy will continue to “modestly” expand through early 2013, with the board’s index of leading economic indicators rising 0.2% in October. And government data had fewer Americans filing first-time applications for unemployment benefits last week, but the report was viewed as distorted by superstorm Sandy. European finance ministers plan to reconvene Monday after failing to reach consensus on another round of aid for Greece.

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 12,788.51 down 7.45 or 0.06% from Monday's close of 12,795.96. For the year the Dow is up 4.67%. Of the Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's up 65 cents and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 1.48%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down $1.52 or 11.43%.
WSJ pC4 "HP helps transform Blue Chips into red" by Alexandra Scaggs says a drop in Hewlett-Packard was enough to drag the Dow into the red, while otehr indexes squeaked out a 3rd straight session of gains. HP is charted under Bad News due to its $8.8 bil write-down tied to the Autonomy purchase.
NYT pB7 "Warning by Fed chief chills markets" by Reuters says Wall St halted its 2 day rally on Tues after Ben Bernanke said the central bank lacked the tools to cushion the US economy from the impact of spending cuts & tax increases to take effect next year. The day's biggest disappointment was Hewlett-Packard whose stock sank to a 10 year low after it had a 4Q loss.
Fin times p22 "HP writedown weights on techs and offsets homebulder gains" by Vivianne Rodrigues says a drop in shares of HPQ weighed on ttech stocks & offset gains in homebuilders amid optimism over a rebound in the US housing markets. JPMorgan rose 0.2% after it named Marianne Lake as its CFO. Cisco rallied on Mon after it said it would buy an internet cloud firm for $1.2 bil lsot some of those gains and was down 0.7%.
IBD pB4 "Stocks end barely higher in light, rpe-holiday trade" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks closed tues about where they started scoring meager gains in weak volume as the market is still in a correction.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,665.27 down 0.97 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,666.24. 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 $55.41 down 3 cents from Monday's average of $55.55. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.81 (DIS/UNH) up 40 cents from Monday's median closing price of $50.41. 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 ost $97 ($166,624- $166,527).
11/20/12 Tues. 4:26 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Tuesday closed nearly unchanged after a two-session surge as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged lawmakers to make a deal and end uncertainty over the so-called fiscal cliff of scheduled spending cuts and tax hikes.“This is a classic fear-driven market. It seems like people in Washington are much more willing to play nice together, but a lot of folks on Main Street and Wall Street just don’t trust them yet,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners LLC. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.06% fell 7.45 points, or less than 0.1%, to 12,788.51, with Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ-11.95% pacing losses that included 12 of the index’s 30 components.H-P’s shares skidded 12% after the Dow component reported fourth-quarter revenue below expectations and earnings above estimates, but only after excluding a large accounting charge tied to alleged fraud by an acquired company. The S&P 500 index SPX+0.07% rose nearly 1 point to 1,387.81, with technology the poorest performer and health care faring the best among the 10 industry groups.The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.02% added 0.61 point to 2,916.68.Advancers edged just ahead of decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 641 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.2 billion.In a speech Tuesday afternoon in New York, Bernanke said Washington needs to resolve the uncertainty over U.S. tax and spending policy weighing on consumers, businesses and markets.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warns of the dangers of the fiscal cliff in a speech Tuesday, saying all the automatic tax increases and spending cuts would pose "a substantial threat to the recovery." The Fed chief’s reiteration of the threat and his repeating his assertion that the central bank does not have the tools to offset the economic harm the cliff represents is a “reminder once again that yesterday was a hope trade, and we’re taking some of the hope trade off today,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.
“What’s holding the market hostage at the moment is the fiscal cliff, every day all day,” said Luschini.“With Congress set to end its session in mid-December, the fuse is getting increasingly short,” he added of the time remaining for a deal to avert automatic tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to begin in January.“The market is seesawing between what can actually happen this year and what can happen beginning next year. I’ve been saying all along that some type of resolution will probably be put into place early on next year,” said Pavlik. Stocks on Monday rallied for a second session on optimism that President Barack Obama and congressional leaders would reach agreement on averting the tax hikes and spending cuts otherwise known as the fiscal cliff. “We had a big rally yesterday; that may have been the result of an oversold condition,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Robert W. Baird & amp; Co. Hopes that lawmakers in Washington will reach an agreement on taxes and spending gave investors new confidence and drove stock indexes to their best day in two months. “I’m a little concerned about yesterday — we had a lot of optimism all of a sudden based on some discussion that the fiscal cliff could be resolved before year-end. And the consensus seems to be that what is going on in the Middle East is not all that troubling, as well,” Bittles said. On Tuesday, Egypt’s president reportedly said a week of fighting between Israel and Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip would come to a halt later in the day. The comments came as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton headed to the Middle East to take part in truce talks. Oil prices fell for the first session in three, with crude futures CLF3-2.44% sliding $2.53, or 2.8%, to $86.75 a barrel. Best Buy Co. BBY-13.02% fell after the consumer-electronics retailer reported a $10 million loss for the third quarter on weaker-than-expected sales at its established stores. The Commerce Department said construction of new homes unexpectedly rose to the highest in more than four years in October. Economists polled by MarketWatch had anticipated a decline, due in part to superstorm Sandy. “The housing industry is getting better to the benefit of the balance sheets of the American consumer and banking system,” emailed Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. A day after Moody’s Investors Service lowered France’s top credit ranking, European finance ministers are meeting in an effort to shore up Greece’s finances.
