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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,890.46 up 6.51 or 0.04% from Wednesday's close of 12,883.95. For the year the Dow is up 5.51%. Of the 30 Dow components 13 gained, Verizon was unchanged and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies UTX $83.78 +2.04 2.5% 8,799,207 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $112.83 -1.21 1.06% 7,518,664 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $20 -0.43 2.1% 130,661,190 NASDAQ-GS..

WSJ pC4 "Stocks notch one more, boosted by labor data" by Chris Dieterich says stocks edged higher for a 3rd straight session as investors showed tempered enthusiasm for progress toward a new Greek bailout & cont'd improvement in the US labor market. Tech & consumer staple stocks led sector gains as United Technologies was up $2.04. Cisco trailed among blue chips down 43 cents afte reporting fiscal 2Q results late Wed.

Inv. Bus. Dialy pA1 "nasdaq, Dow industrials hit new highs" by Paul Whitfield says several indexes stepped to new highs Thurs as the market cont'd to show strength. The action was mostly up in mixed volume as the current outlook is a "confirmed uptrend."

NYT pB8 "Markets remain cautious on Greek developments" by Reuters says stocks rose modestly for a 3rd straight day after Greece reached a deal to secure a fin'l bailout but investors were cautious after weeks of gains.

Fin times p22 "Muted share price reaction to regulators' deal on foreclosures" by Ajay Makan says US bank stocks saw a mixed reaction as US regulators announced a deal that could be worth up to $39.5 bil to resolve allegations that the largest US mortgage lenders improperly foreclosed on homes. Bank of America climbed 0.6%, its highest level since Aug but JPMorgan fell 1.2%.

USA Today p4B "Greek austerity package deal gives stocks a minor boost" by Bloomberg says stocks rose as Greece's political leaders struck a deal on a package of austerity measures needed to secure int'l rescue funds.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.38 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.39 (year ago it was 14.95); today's P/E estimate is 12.30 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.30 (year ago it was 12.64) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.36). 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 1,703.21 up 0.86 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,702.35. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.77 up $0.03 from Wednesday's average closing price of $56.74. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.67 (AXP/HD) up $0.26 from Wednesday's median closing price of $48.41. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.89 +0.04 0.07% 2,031,337 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.18 +0.05 0.62% 476,343,575 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 $86 ($170,321 - $170,235).

MarketWatch Thursday 2/9/12 4:12 pm by Laura Mandaro Gibson says U.S. stocks gained for a third day Thursday, keeping the indexes at multi-year highs, after U.S. jobless claims dipped and Greece reached an austerity deal that should lead to a new round of international aid. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.05% gained 6.51 points, or 0.1%, to 12,890.46, its highest close since May 2008. The S&P 500 SPX +0.15% rose 1.99 points, or 0.2%, to 1,351.95, its highest since July 2011. And the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.39% gained 11.37 points, or 0.4%, to 2,927.23, its highest since December 2000.
