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 12,878.13 down 89.24 or 0.69% from Monday's close of 12,967.37. For the year the Dow is up 5.41%. Of the Dow components, like yesterday, 7 gained and 23 declined. The biggest gainers dollar-wise were Boeing and 3M each up 22 cents as and percentage-wise was Boeing up 0.3%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.65 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 2.98%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks get no helf from cliff notes" by Alexandra Scaggs says the specter of bumpy US budget negotiations sparked a broad decline in stocks Tues.
NYT pB9 "A comment on the budget impasse sends markets lower" by AP says stocks slumped on Tues after harry Reid said he was frustrated by the lack of progress in talks over the fiscal situtation in DC.
IBD pB6 "Stocks retreat as uptrend endures ore distribution" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks stepped back Tues as the nascent uptrend ran into a little trouble as Tuesday's action was down moderately in higher volume and the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
Fin Times pA24 "ConAgra stock jumps following $5bn all cash offer for Ralcrorp" by Anora Mahmudova says US markets finished the day lower as positive economic data failed to lift indices which dipped in and out of positive territory. Hewlett-Packard fell 3%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.34 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.39 (year ago it was 12.50); today's P/E estimate is 12.10 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.10 (year ago it was 11.55) and today's dividend yield is 2.66 down 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,676.94 down 11.62 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,688.56. 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 $55.90 down 39 cents from Monday's average of $56.29. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.10 (DIS/UNH) up 82 cents from Monday's median closing price of $51.28. 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 $1,162 ($168,856 - $167,694).
11/27/12 Tues. 4:08 pm MarketWatch by Polya Lesova says U.S. stocks finished lower on Tuesday after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said little progress has been made in talks aimed at averting the so-called fiscal cliff. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA-0.69%declined 89.24 points, or 0.7%, to end at 12,878.13, with Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ-2.98% the top decliner in the blue-chip index. The S&P 500 index SPX-0.52%slipped 7.35 points, or 0.5%, to finish at 1,398.94. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.30%snapped a six-session winning streak, dropping 8.99 points, or 0.3%, to end at 2,967.79.
