WSJ C5 said BA lost 1.52 or 3.7% on news that it agreed to acquire Vought Aircraft Industries facility that makes the fuselages.

WSJ B7 in an article about consumer products company Jarden Corp. says Jarden calls itself a smaller version of a major diversified consumer products company such as PG Procter & Gamble. The article says Jarden's largest customers include WMT WalMart.

WMT is the subject of a story @ WSJ pB7 that says WMT customers in the UK will be getting emails from WMT buyers asking the customers their opinions on products to be sold at WMT stores.

WSJ A6 & IBD pA2 says Indiana may pull the plug on IBM managing its welfare system which is a $1.16 billion contract.

AA Alcoa is the subject of an article at WSJ B1, "Alcoa Reckons to ride a Recovery - Amid Aluminum Slump, Company Invests in Businesses It Thinks Will Be Among First to Rebound" that says AA is expected to report a quarterly loss today amind a slump in global aluminum demand. However, it says AA is positioning itself for an eventual rebound by investing in new markets and notes that it completed a $750 million expandsion of a cosntruction products factor in Russia to produce beverage cans.

Alcoa is also in a story at WSJ C1, "Aluminum Bellwether Only: Alcoa's Results" that said that investors should not jump to conclusions about commodity demand from AA's earning report to be issued today because much of the recent demand for aluminum and other metals has been due to China restocking industrial supplies which may be winding down. AA is also mentioned in a story on same page about the Dow declining but noting AA rose 1.6% after falling sharply on Mon.

The Dow closed Tuesday at 8163.6 down 161.27 or 1.94% from Monday's close of 8324.87. Four of the Dow 30 gained, one (BAC Bank of Am) was unchanged and 15 declined with the biggest gainer being AA Alcoa $9.41 +0.15 1.62% 61,013,342 NYSE and the biggest loser being XOM $66.56 -1.54 2.26% 25,010,474 NYSE.
