Post No. 1,603 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 ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of April 15, 2012.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,279.32 up 65.69 or 0.5% from Monday's close of 13,213.6. Of the 30 Dow components 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wisewas Chevron and percentage-wise were Alcoa and Bank of America . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar and percentage-wise wasCisco.
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 14.69 down from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.81 (year ago it was 14.53); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.42 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.42 (year ago it was 12.91) and today's dividend yield is 2.48 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.30). 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 1,754.59 8.28 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,746.31. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.49 up $028 from Monday's average closing price of $58.21. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.02 (DD/HD) up $0.39 from Monday's median closing price of $52.63. The lowest volume was 3M 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 made $828 ($175,459 - $174,631 ).
MarketWatch Tues. 4:21 by Kate Gibson says US stocks advanced Tuesday, propelling the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its highest close since late 2007, after a report indicated U.S. manufacturing expanded in April, offsetting concern about the economic recovery. It certainly suggests that things may not be rolling over as badly as one might have thought; the bears need to take that seriously,” Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank, said of the manufacturing gauge from the Institute for Supply Management. With question marks over growth in the euro zone, data suggesting that the U.S. recovery is faltering and the global recovery in general becoming an issue, financial markets are increasingly focused on just what the Fed is going to do. The group’s manufacturing index rose to 54.8% last month from 53.4% in March. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast the index would fall to 53.3%. After climbing as much as 125 points, the Dow industrials DJIA +0.50% finished at 13,279.32, up 65.69 points, or 0.5%. The finish marked its highest close since December 2007. The S&P 500 SPX +0.57% climbed 7.91 points, or 0.6%, to 1,405.82, with energy the strongest performer of its 10 industry sectors. Sears Holding Corp. SHLD +15.38% rallied 14% after the retailer said it expects to report a first-quarter operating profit later this month. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.13% rose 4.08 points, or 0.1%, to 3,050.44. For every stock falling nearly two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 771 million shares traded; composite volume neared 3.8 billion. “There is relief that the [ISM] number didn’t show a decline, which would be further evidence the economy is slowing,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. Luschini also found reason for cheer in the data’s underlying components, with the ISM’s new-orders measure rising to 58.2% from 54.5%, and its employment gauge advancing to 57.3% from 56.1% in March. “All fall into the mixer of steady if unspectacular activity across the manufacturing sector, which is good, but still only 12% of our economy,” he said.
Tuesday’s gains came after the S&P 500 pulled the plug on a four-month rally in April.
