The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,904.08 up 123.13 or 0.96% from Wednesday's close of 12,780.95. Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and only Kraft declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $106.52 +1.52 1.45% 5,733,544 NYSE and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $31.285 +1.235 4.11% 94,666,269 NASDAQ-GS NYSE.

Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.26 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.37 (year ago it was 15.05); today's P/E estimate is 12.26 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.26 (year ago it was 12.81) and today's dividend yield is 2.53 up 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.

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 $1,628 ($170,501 - $168,870).

MarketWatch Thursday 2/16/12 5:11 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks surged Thursday, with the Dow industrials less than 100 points from the 13,000 level, as the outlook for Greece’s bailout improved and American jobless claims slid to a nearly four-year low. Emerging markets are up 14% this year, outperforming U.S. indexes. Time to go all in? Jerry Webman, chief economist at OppenheimerFunds, says be picky and choose a company by where customers are, not its CEO. The market advance comes along with “continuing favorable economic data,” said Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James. “The laggard has been employment, but it’s a damn sight better now than in the first, second or third quarter of ’09.”
A day after its worst session of this year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.96% rose 123.13 points, or 1%, to 12,904.08, with all but one of its 30 components in the black. The gain, which put the blue-chip average back at its highest since May 2008, more than recovered Wednesday’s drop of 97.33 points, or 0.8%.The S&P 500 Index SPX +1.10% gained 14.81 points, or 1.1%, to 1,358.04, with materials and financials faring best among its 10 industry groups. All closed higher.If the S&P 500 closes above 1,356, “the bulls will then target 1,370 — the May 2011 high,” said Elliot Spar, a market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus, ahead of the trading session’s end.The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP +1.51% surged 44.02 points, or 1.5%, to 2,959.85 — its highest close since December 2000 and about 40 points from 3,000.“While every technical type was talking about the key reversal day in Apple, the bulls ran with the ball without the three horsemen,” said Spar, referring to Apple Inc. AAPL -0.01% , Google Inc. GOOG -0.22% and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN +0.10%Shares of Amazon AMZN +0.10% declined 2.5% after Morgan Stanley downgraded shares of the online megaretailer to equal weight from overweight.
Apple shares gained 0.9%, rebounding from the prior day’s loss. Read more on Apple's "reversal."For every stock falling, more than three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 805 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume was more than 4 billion. Nasdaq Composite volume was 1.9 billion.As Wall Street’s gained picked up speed, Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, cited news that the European Central Bank would swap its Greek bonds for newly issued ones that are “likely further out in maturity, to give Greece some breathing room.” ‘I think Europe in the short to intermediate term is off the table.’ Jeffrey Saut, Raymond James. The swap would also protect the ECB and other central banks that make up the euro from efforts to force the central bank to take losses connected to negotiations between Greece and its private-sector bondholders, according to The Wall Street Journal. ECB officials have refused to take losses on their Greek bonds. “They are going to find a way to paper over this,” said Saut. “I think Europe in the short to intermediate term is off the table.”Whether European nations manage to fix the longer-term systemic trouble is another matter, he added.The number of U.S. applicants filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits last week fell by 13,000 at 348,000, the lowest level since March 2008. The four-week average also declined, down 1,750 at 365,250, to hover near a four-year low.

Read more on Philly Fed.
Other economic reports had housing starts up 1.5% in January and wholesale prices climbing 0.1% on the month.Ahead of Wall Street’s start Thursday, stock-index futures had pointed to losses, with investors rattled by a Moody’s Investors Service move late Wednesday to review the ratings of more than 100 financial institutions around the world.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Dow:

A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall Street 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,780.95 down 97.33 or 0.76% from Tueday's close of 12,878.38. For the year the Dow is up 4.61%. Of the 30 Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was TRV Travelers Companies Inc 59.29+0.13 0.22% 2,868,675 NYSE NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was United Technologies UTX $82.6 -2.04 2.41% 6,465,396 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $7.78 -0.20 2.51% 370,511,335 NYSE.

USA Today p1B "Would optimism be higher if Apple were a Dow stock" by Adam Shell says that because the Dow is price weighted if Apple were on the Dow the Dow would now be at 14,810.80 or 16% above today's Dow.

WSJ pC4 "Dow's tumble is worst in '12" by Jon Cheng says the Dow suffered its steepest fall of the year as questions about the latest Greek bailout added to concerns about indt'l stocks. Leading the declines were indt'l stocks after a Fred Res report showed inudt'l production unchanged in Jan as economists had expected a 0.7% increase. United Technologies lost $1.56, Caterpillar lost 1.92, GE fell 18 cents and 3M fell 39 cents. These 4 accounted for 1/3 of the Dow's decline. Kellopp rose as did Daimond after Procter & Gamble said it wold terminate the deal to sell Pringles to it and would sell it to Kellogg for $2.7 bil. P&G was up 7 cents.

NYT pB7 "Shares slide on Greek's troubles" by AP says stocks slumped on Wed in one of their worst showings this year as Greece slogged through negotiations with other nations over a bailout.

USA Today p4B "Dow narrowly avoids first triple digit loss of the year" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Wed sending the S&P lower for a 2nd day as concern grew that Greece was moving closer to default & the Fed Res said policymakes were divided on buying more assets.

Fin times p24 "zynga pauses for breath as it fails to justify heavy investor buying" by Ajay Makan says shares in Zynga fell yesterday after it reported record earnings but below expectations. 3M fell 1.1% and United Technologies fell 2.4%. Bank of America fell 2.5% as Bernstein Research downgraded it to hold from buy.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "heavy selling in Apple weighs on major indexes" by David Saito-Chung says stocks let early gains slip through their fingers Wed handing the major indexes moderate losses. Volume climbed a hint that inst't'l investors sold with a bit mroe vigor than usual. Wednesday's action was mdoerate losses in higher volume as the current outlook is still a "confirmed uptrend."

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,688.73 down 12.88 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,701.61. 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 $56.29 down $0.43 from Tuesday's average closing price of $56.72. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.59 (DD/HD) down $0.27 from Tuesday's median closing price of $47.86. The lowest volume was TRV Travelers Companies Inc 59.29+0.13 0.22% 2,868,675 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.78 -0.20 2.51% 370,511,335 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 $1,288 ($170,161 - $168,873).

MarketWatch Wednesday 2/15/12 5:09 pm by Laura Mandaro & Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended solidly lower Wednesday after minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting nipped hopes for more quantitative easing and amid uncertainty over Greece. A sharp turn lower for Apple Inc. AAPL -0.46% , the biggest weight on the Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.55% and S&P 500 SPX -0.54% , may have also sapped some of the market’s strength. After starting higher, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.76% spent most of the day lower, deepening losses to close down 97.33 points, or 0.8%, to 12,780.95, its biggest decline of the year. Of 30 Dow components, 25 closed lower, led by a 2.5% retreat in Bank of America Corp. BAC -0.13% shares. For all three indexes, losses deepened after the Federal Open Market Committee’s minutes from its Jan. 24-25 meeting showed only a few members of the policy-setting panel favored another round of quantitative easing — extraordinary stimulus measures that, over the past few years, have stoked stock gains. “Liquidity is the name of the game. You’ve got central banks around the globe practicing easy monetary policy, and that influences the psychology of the market,” said Michael Gibbs, chief equity strategist at Morgan Keegan. “This headlining that QE3 may not happen may have been an excuse for profit-taking,” he said. Stocks clung to losses after euro-zone finance ministers, late in the session, released a statement reporting progress on negotiations with Greece over belt-tightening measures needed to ensure the next round of aid to the country. Read more on Eurogroup statement. Apple makes up 10.7% of the Nasdaq Composite and 3.9% of the S&P 500. The stock’s nearly unbroken rise since late January, extending a five-fold rise over the past three years, has made it one of the stock-market leaders strategists sometimes view to gauge broader trends. “When Apple broke down, the S&P 500 did the same,” said Morgan Keegan’s Gibbs. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 16 points, or 0.6%, to 2,915.83. Notable stocks rising included Comcast Corp. CMCSA +0.60%, up 4.7% after the cable company authorized a $6.5 billion share-repurchase program. Kellogg Co. K -1.28% shares climbed 5.1% after the company said it would buy Procter & Gamble Co.’s PG +0.05% potato-chip unit for about $2.7 billion in cash.
Decliners outpaced advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where about 800 million shares changed hands. NYSE composite volume was 4 billion, more than in recent sessions. Nasdaq composite volume was 2 billion. U.S. economic reports had production at American factories climbing in January, with output up 0.7%. Separately, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s gauge of manufacturing in the New York region widened this month to its highest level since June 2010. Also, confidence among home builders rose more than expected in February to the highest level since May 2007. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.54% fell 7.27 points, or 0.5%, to 1,343.23, with industrials the worst performing of its 10 industry groups. All but materials, which closed flat, were lower. International stock markets had risen as China vowed to invest in Europe’s rescue funds and maintain its holdings of euro assets. But U.S. stocks fell in early trading after reports emerged that euro-area finance officials might postpone at least a portion of the next round of aid to Greece. “Germany is drawing the line — they just don’t believe Greece is going to follow suit on the next round of austerity measures,” said Art Hogan, an equity strategist at Lazard Capital Markets in New York. U.S. economic data Wednesday proved largely positive, with industrial production, while lighter than expected, still “one of the strongest pieces of economic data we’ve seen for the last 12 months,” added Hogan. Apple Inc. AAPL -0.46% shares were volatile, rising more than 2% in the early going and closing down 2.3% after reports Amazon.com AMZN +0.13% had pulled the iPad from its site in China after a court ruling to halt selling the device. The S&P 500 and Nadsaq Composite, both slightly higher at midday, turned lower alongside Apple.
