Post #83 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report. Towards the end of this Blog is an update of the Dow 30's most recent SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 9496.28 down 47.92 or 0.5% from Friday's close of 9544.2. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 11 gained and 19 declined with the biggest loser being Caterpillar CAT $45.31 -1.40 3% 10,363,695 NYSE and the biggest gainer being JPMorgan Chase JPM $43.46 +0.54 1.26% 30,414,152 NYSE.

The current divisor for the Dow found at today's page C4 of The Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1256.54 down 6.34 from Friday's closing Dow numerator of 1262.88. 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 of 6.34 by the divisor you get 47.92, the decrease in Monday's Dow close.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 41.88 down 0.22 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of 42.10. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 38.64 up 0.06 from Friday's Dow Jones median closing price of 38.58.

If Monday morning before the market opened you had purchased $100 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 $660
($126,300 - 125,640)
