A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Georgia - 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 symbol and Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,897.27 down 178.84 or 1.48% from Tuesday's close of 12,076.11. For the year the Dow is up 2.76%.

WSJ pC1 "Greek scare spills into US" by Tkom Lauricella says renewed worries about the damage a Greek default could inflict on European banks, along with another batch of bad news for the US economy, sent the Euro tumbling & stock & commodities prices into sharp retreat.

Inv. Bus Daily pA1 "Stocks dive, undercutting recent lows" by Paul Whitfield says stocks staggered to big losses Wed, erasing all of the prior day's surge & more. Wed's action was stocks plunge, hit new lows in higher volume. The current outlook is the market is in a correction.

Fin Times p28 "Rin'l, materials & energy sectors hit amid economic gloom" by Michael Stothard says fin'l, energy & materials led the sharp losses as sentiment was weighed on by disappointing economic data, helping to drag the broader indices towards their 7th straight week of losses.

NYT pB3 "Markets fall as worry rises in Greek crisis & US recovery slows" all of the sectors were down by 1.24% or more, with fin'l & materials recording down more than 2.3%.

USA Today p4B "S&P 500 gain for the year threatened after stocks drop" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Wed threatening the '11 gain for the S&P 500 on concern Greece will default and signs the US economy is cooling down. Alcoa & Exxon sank 45 cents & 1.72 as commodities slumped. Bank of America slid 30 cents following losses in European lenders, as officials failed to agree on a Greek rescue plan.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Today's trailing P/E is 13.54 down from yesterday's trailing P/E of 13.74 (year ago it was 15.13); today's P/E estimate is 12.01 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.01 (year ago it was 12.56), and today's dividend yield is 2.52 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.48 (last year it was 2.66). 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 1,571.98 down 23.63 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,595.61. 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 (0.132129493) you get the decrease in today's Dow. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.57 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.40 down 0.79 from Tuesday's average closing price of $53.19. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.88 (AXP/JPM) up 0.56 from Tuesday's median closing price of $44.88. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $91.03 -1.56 1.68% 3,350,125 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $10.52 -0.28 2.59% 190,076,749 NYSE.

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) and sold at the close you would have lost $2,363 ($159,561 - $157,198).

MarketWatch Wednesday 6/15/11 4:14 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Wednesday took their biggest hit in two weeks, with the major indexes falling hard on a combination of worries about Europe's debt crisis and data illustrating a slower U.S. economy. "All the macro issues are banging the market around because we're in the corporate news void," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 178.84 points, or 1.5%, to 11,897.27. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 22.45 points, or 1.7%, to 1,265.42.
