A read of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution& Daily Report (Georgia) 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 symbol and Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

WSJ pC5 "Smucker Jumps 6.6%; Kroger, Aetna Climb" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks rose on a late rally despite disappointing US economic data, as gains in the euro after a successful Spanish bond auction helped firms that export to Europe, including Caterpillar, Kraft and Chevron. Caterpillar was up 0.9%, Kraft was up 0.8% and Chevron climbed 0.5%.

WSJ pC1 "DJIA Rises 24.71 in Late Reversal" by Peter McKay says after spending most of the day in the red, stocks staged a late rally to end slightly higher.

Fin Times p24 "Rally in consumer staples helps offset effect of jobs data" by masa Serdarevic says US stocks pared losses in the final hour of trading eysterday, helped by a rally in consumer staple stocks but a worse than expected jobs report stoked concerns about the pace of the economic recovery.

NYT pB7 "Wall St. manages a Small Gain Despite Reports on Job and Prices" by Christine Hauser says investors made a last minute push on Thurs. that sent stock slightly higher, overcoming new data on jobs and consumer prices that showed the pace of a recovery was likely to be modest. Procter & Gamble rose 57 cents.

USA Today "Despite bad news, stocks eke out gains" by AP says the stock market managed a slender gain Thurs. after traders shook off a pair of disappointing economic reports.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 15.17 up from Thursday's 15.13 (year ago it was 12.46) the P/E estimate is 12.56 unchanged from Thursday's 12.56 (year ago it was 14.22) and the current dividend yield is 2.66 unchanged from Thursday's 2.66 (it was 3.41 a year ago). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,380.64 up 3.27 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,377.37. 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 of 3.27 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the increase in Thursday's Dow of 24.71. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.02 up 0.11 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.91. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.25 down 0.18 rom Wednesday's median price of $40.43. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81.03 +0.15 0.19% 3,970,249 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.82 -0.05 0.32% 126,751,099 NYSE.

If Thursday 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) and sold at the close you would have made $323 ($138,060 - $137,736).

MarketWatch 6/17/10 Thurs. 4:42 pm by Kate Gibson says after a late reversal, U.S. stocks ended higher on Thursday, as gains in technology helped offset the impact of mostly weak economic reports and a successful bond auction in Spain helped soothe concerns over Europe. With the euro continuing to stabilize this week, stocks were also on track for solid gains for the week. After trading lower for most of the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,434, +24.71, +0.24%) ended up 24.71 points, or 0.2%, at 10,434.17, with 17 of its 30 components rising. Insurance giant Travelers (TRV 51.45, -0.26, -0.51%) led the gains for blue chips, while aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. (AA 11.18, -0.23, -2.02%) fell the most, off 2%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,116, +1.43, +0.13%) rose 1.43 points, or 0.1%, to end at 1,116.04. Consumer staples, utilities and technology firms fared the best. The S&P 500, used as a benchmark of the broad market by money managers, is up 2.2% so far this week. The Dow industrials are also up 2.2% week to date. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,307, +1.23, +0.05%) finished off 1.23 points, or 0.1%, to 2,307.16. The tech-heavy index is up 2.8% for the week so far. For every 14 shares rising, 14 fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.15 billion shares traded. Composite volume topped 4.7 billion. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures closed at a record high $1,248.70 an ounce, while crude-oil futures fell 88 cents to end at $76.79 a barrel.
Wall Street's gaze was also trained on televised House subcommittee hearings on Capitol Hill, where BP PLC (BP 31.71, -0.14, -0.44%) CEO Tony Hayward apologized for the devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. After an initial bout of wavering, stock indexes turned lower after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve reported regional manufacturing continued to expand in June, but at a slower pace than the prior month. This Week in Mutual Funds: high-yield bondsWith signs the U.S. economy is improving, corporate bonds offer more stable income, according to ETF Trends' Tom Lydon, who talks about some investment-grade and high-yield, bond exchange-traded funds investors can consider. Jonathan Burton reports. The vexing manufacturing report came in the wake of data that had the government's count of those filing for first-time jobless benefits rising by 12,000 to 472,000 last week. Other economic reports included the index of U.S. leading indicators, which climbed 0.4% in May, indicating expansion would continue into the second half of 2010. Separately, the Labor Department reported consumer prices fell 0.2% in May for a second month in a row, pushing aside any concerns that the Federal Reserve might have to act to curb inflation. Wall Street had sputtered higher at the start after Spain sold 3.5 billion euros, or $4.3 billion, in bonds, offsetting worries that it would not be able to finance its debt.
