A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily, the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times, & Sun's & Sat's New York Times &, Atlanta Journal Constitution & 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday. at 13,093.16 down 139.46 or 1.05% from Thursday's close of 13,232.62. For the week the Dow down 14.05 or 0.1% from last Friday's close of 13,107.21. For the year the Dow is up 7.17%. Of the Dow components 6 gained and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 12 cents or 1.23%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $3.64 and percentage-wise was Chevron down 2.69%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks give back gains; correction still in place" by Paul Whitfield says stocks opened mixed Fri & then headed south, erasing most of the prior day's gains. Friday's action was down in lower volume.
Fin Times pB11 "Fears over the fiscal cliff trump better US jobs data" by Anora Mahmudova says US equities opened higher but early gains fizzled out as better than expected jobs data failed to lift markets. The economy added 171,000 jobs in Oct above the expected 125,000.
Sat NYT pB7 "Rising estiamtes of casts of storm weigh on Wall St" by AP says shaken by Sandy & unmoved by a solid Oct jobs report, stocks fell sharply Fri. Verizon Comm, whose Lower Manhattan oeprations are still without power, sais the storm would have a big effect on its 4Q earnings.
Sat WSJ pB5 "Dow Industrials tumble 139 points" by Tomi Kilgore et al says US stocks closed broadly lower with blue chips falling into negative territory for the week in the last half hour of trading as a biggger than expected increase in Oct payrolls was offset by sharp declines in materials & energy shares.
As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.31 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.30 (year ago it was 12.89); Saturday's P/E estimate is 12.37 unchanged from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.35) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.59 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.59 (last year it was 2.59). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,704.94 down 18.16 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,723.10. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.83 down 61 cents from Thursday's average of $57.44. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.97 (DIS/UNH) down 40 cents from Thursday's median closing price of 53.37. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 lsot $1,813 ($172,310 - $170,494).
11/2/12 Fri. 4:08 MarketWatch by Deborah Levine says U.S. stocks ended lower on Friday, after an initial cheer for better-than-expected U.S. employment data quickly turned to setting up for the presidential election coming in a few days. The S&P 500 Index /SPX -0.94% fell 13.39 points, or 0.9% to 1,414.20. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.05% dropped 139.46 points, or 1.1%, to 13,093.16.
