Post No. 1,557 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 current CEOs, and a recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,199.55 down 64.94 or 0.49% from Monday's close of 13,264.49. Of the 30 Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Exxon and percentage-wise were Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard.

As of the open of the market on Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.84 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.79 (year ago it was 15.04); today's P/E estimate is 12.63 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.63 (year ago it was 12.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.46 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.47 (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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,744.05 down 8.57 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,752.62. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.13 down $0.29 from Monday's average closing price of $58.42. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.61 (DD/HD) down $0.08 from Monday's median closing price of $51.69. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Tuesday 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 $857 ($175,260 - $174,403).

MarketWatch Tuesday 4/3/12 4:41 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fall Tuesday, with the Dow industrials down for their first session in four, after minutes from the Federal Reserve signaled less of a need for more monetary stimulus. The market scaled back, however, on its first reaction. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.49% fell as much as 133 points, but by the close was down 64.94 points, or 0.5%, at 13,199.50. Wall Street’s negative initial response to details from the session is not surprising, according to Chip Cobb, portfolio manager at Bryn Mawr Trust. “The market always wants more stimulus, the ability to give it more of a shot in the arm, as if it would even work at this point,” he said.
The Fed minutes, which said the central bankers “generally agreed that the economic outlook, while a bit stronger overall, was broadly similar to that at the time of their January meeting” were also to be expected. “Most of the economic data we’ve seen have been positive; that would be less reason to support more stimulus. Overall, I think people were looking for a reason to finally take some profits. But I think this is short term. This is not the catalyst that is going to push us down 15%,” Cobb added. “I would say [the Fed] was a deflator for the day, and we’ll regroup by the end of the week.” The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.40% declined 5.88 points, or 0.4%, at 1,413.16, with energy the worst performer and utilities the least hit among the index’s 10 sectors. The slowing rate in China’s economic growth has been reflected in share prices for energy and natural-resource companies over the last month and a half, said Nick Raich, director of research with Key Private Bank in Cleveland. “Sectors tied to global growth haven’t really participated in the rally,” he commented. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.20% retreated 6.13 points, or 0.2%, at 3,113.57. For every stock gaining, nearly two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 817 shares traded; composite volume neared 3.8 billion. Gold prices fell further after the release of the Fed minutes, with futures for June delivery GCM2 -1.91% down $7.70, or 0.5%, to end at $1,672 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude futures CLK2 -1.14% also declined more after the Fed release, with oil for May delivery off $1.22, or 1.2%, at $104.01 a barrel on Nymex. The U.S. dollar DXY +0.64% index rose to 79.453 and Treasury prices weakened, with yields on the 10-year note 10_YEAR +4.51% up to 2.284%. “You don’t want to fight the Feds — you want to participate as the market has rallied, but you have to tread with caution here, as it’s a dangerous game of trying to resolve too much debt with more debt,” Raich said of actions by central banks around the globe. The Commerce Department reported orders to American factories climbed in February for a third month in four, with the 1.3% rise just below the 1.5% expected by economists polled by MarketWatch. March proved a robust sales month for domestic car makers, with Chrysler, controlled by Fiat SpA IT:F -0.78% , reporting a 34% increase in U.S. sales for the month, and Ford Motor Co. F +0.16% reporting sales volume climbed 5% in March. General Motors Co. GM -4.56% said sales of its vehicles climbed 12% in March. Click to Play Draghi weighs ECB rate decisionEuropean Central Bank chief Mario Draghi will have to consider the slew of gloomy European economic data on eve of a new rate setting. On Monday, a separate report showed manufacturing gained more traction in March, with the Institute for Supply Management’s gauge rising to 53.4 from 52.4 in February. The better-than-expected ISM data helped lift the S&P 500 to its highest level since May 2008. On Wednesday, the ADP employment report for March could draw more than the usual attention given it comes two days ahead of Friday’s nonfarm-payrolls report, set for release when the stock market will be closed.

NYT pB8 "Major indexes rise on Manufacturing data" by Boomberg and USA Today p4B "Stronger than expected growth in manufacturing helps stocks" by Bloomberg say stocks rose Mon sending he Dow to its highest level since Dec '07 on stronger than forecast growth in manufacturing.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks extend Q1 gains, although volume drops' by Vincent Mao says stocks rebounded from a soft start & finished higher Mon as the quarter began. Monday's action was up in lower trade as the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,752.62 up 6.92 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,745.70. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.42 up $0.23 from Friday's average closing price of $58.19. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.69 (DD/HD) down $0.34 from Friday's median closing price of $51.35. The lowest volume was Travelers3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Monday 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 $692 ($175,260 - $174,570).

MarketWatch Monday 4/2/12 5:11 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose Monday after a gauge of national manufacturing improved, stretching Wall Street’s best three-month start since 1998 into the second quarter. “The reports out today are seen as moderately positive,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab. “The market is looking ahead six to 18 months from now, and the expectation is the economy is going to be solid.” U.S. stock investors gave 2012 a powerful, profitable opening to rival any Hollywood blockbuster. But we’ve seen this movie before. The Institute for Supply Management’s factory index rose to 53.4% last month from 52.4% in February. Read more about U.S. manufacturing data. “We have U.S. economic data that continue to be strong, as shown by the ISM number today before we kick off earnings next week,” said Art Hogan, a managing director and equity strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. Separately, the Commerce Department said construction spending fell 1.1% in February versus expectations of a 0.7% gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.40% added 52.45 points, or 0.4%, to 13,264.49, with 26 of its 30 components rising, led by Bank of America Corp. BAC +1.15% The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.75% gained 10.43 points, or 0.7%, to 1,418.90, with natural-resource companies faring best among its 10 industry groups. Avon Products Inc. AVP +17.25% leapt 17% to $22.70 a share, the best performer on the S&P 500, after the direct seller of cosmetics said it rejected a bid of about $10 billion, or $23.25 a share, from beauty-products supplier Coty Inc. Read more about Avon rejecting Coty’s bid. Off the index, Groupon Inc. GRPN -16.89% shares slid nearly 17% after the online-coupon company said late Friday that it would revise first-quarter results after realizing it had not set aside enough cash to cover customer refunds. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP +0.91% rose 28.13 points, or 0.9%, to 3,119.70.For every stock declining, roughly three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 763 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume was more than 3.4 billion, also extending the prior quarter’s low-volume trend. Read more on how the stock market's rise left many behind. Wall Street on Friday capped a stellar start to the year, with the S&P 500 up 12% for the first three months, the index’s best first quarter since 1998. “In general, we have a marketplace after a tremendous first quarter that continues to grind higher, and has left a lot of investors on the sidelines waiting for a pullback,” Hogan added. But “every 1% pullback is met with buyers.”
People tend to call for a market correction when you have “a market that just goes up, up and up. But it’s a little narrow-minded to think just because things are going up there has to be a pullback,” observed Frederick, who believes any move down of 5% or more would need a catalyst. On Monday, Treasury prices advanced, with the yield on the 10-year-note 10_YEAR -0.09% used in determining consumer loans and other mortgages falling to 2.183%. Commodities recovered as the U.S. data helped ease worry about the global economy that came with reports showing manufacturing contracting and unemployment rising in Europe. Crude futures rose $2.21, or 2.2%, to settle at $105.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange; gold futures for June delivery GCM2 +0.36% rose $7.80, or 0.5%, to finish at $1,679.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the Nymex. The dollar DXY -0.11% edged lower against other currencies including the Japanese yen USDJPY -0.01% .
