Post No. 1,652 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 as of May 16 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 16.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed  Thursday at 12,393.45 down 26.41 or 0.21% from Wednesday's close of 12,419.86.  Of the 30 Dow components 13 gained and  17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron  and percentage-wise was  Bank of America. The biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was  Caterpillar.

As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of  Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.69 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.86 (year ago it was 14.30);  today's P/E estimate is 11.75 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 11.75 (year ago it was 12.54) and today's dividend yield is 2.66 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.70 (last year it was 2.37). 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 1,637.54 down 3.49 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,641.03. 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  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.58 down  0.12 from Wednesday's average closing price of $54.70. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.80 (HD/DD)  down 0.53 from Wednesday's median closing price of $49.43. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 lost  $349 ($164,103 - $163,754).

MarketWatch  Thursday 4:15 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished the month with sizeable losses, with all three indexes off 6% or more during May. "People may be expecting a bit weaker number than they would have hoped for 24 hours ago," Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors, of Friday's monthly payrolls data, and the lowered expectations following a disappointing ADP report on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.21% fell 26.41 points, or 0.2%, to 12,393.45, off 6.2% for May. The S&P 500 Index  SPX -0.23% fell 2.99 points, or 0.2%, to 1,310.33, leaving it down 6.3% for the month. The Nasdaq Composite  COMP -0.35% fell 10.02 points, or 0.4%, to 2,827.34, down 7.2% for the month. May proved the worst in two years for the Dow and Nasdaq.

MarketWatch  Wednesday 5:06 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks retreated Wednesday, wiping out the prior session’s rally, as bond yields in Spain and Italy surged and polls out of Greece added to the uncertainty over whether it would remain in the euro zone. ECB opposes Spain's banks planEuropean Central Bank officials signal they would oppose any attempt to fund the $23.8 billion recapitalization of Spain's Bankia via the central bank's facilities. “If Greece ends up leaving the European Union and the debt crisis remains reasonably well contained, then world growth will continue at a modest pace. But if that contagion becomes chaotic, then all bets are off,” said Mark Martiak, senior wealth strategist at Premier/First Allied Securities. The Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA -1.28% dropped 160.83 points, or 1.3%, to 12,419.86, with all but one of its 30 components in the red. On Tuesday, it had gained nearly 126 points in a broad surge fueled by hopes for Greece and more global stimulus. The S&P 500 Index SPX -1.43% on Wednesday shed 19.10 points, or 1.4%, to end at 1,313.32, with energy and financial firms hardest hit among its 10 sectors. All sectors ended lower. The Nasdaq Composite Index / COMP -1.17% declined 33.63 points, or 1.2%, to 2,837.36. For the month that ends Thursday, the benchmark indexes are down at least 6%.For every stock rising, roughly six fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 768 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume was 3.5 billion, while volume of Nasdaq-listed shares was 1.7 billion.Gold gained, with the futures contract for August delivery /quotes/zigman/676896 GCQ2 -0.11% rising $14.70 to end at $1,565.70 an ounce. Oil /quotes/zigman/2203147 CLN2 -0.22% tumbled $2.94 to finish at $87.82 a barrel. The bourse in Madrid. Spain’s 10-year bond yields /quotes/zigman/4869131/delayed ES:10YR_ESP +0.13% hit a six-month high and closed 22 basis points higher, at 6.7%, as Spanish authorities discussed how they would pay for the $23.6 billion bailout of lender Bankia S.A.  ES:BKIA -8.60% , and new data showed private deposits fled Spanish banks in April. Italy’s borrowing costs rose as the government sold debt but fell short of its target. Read more on Italian bonds. As stocks in Europe tumbled, the European Commission called for direct aid for troubled euro-zone banks. The latest poll from Greece had the leftist Syriza party taking the lead against the pro-bailout conservatives ahead of a parliamentary election June 17 that could determine if the nation remains in the euro zone. Bloomberg News reported that a survey found most Greek voters want to revise the terms of the nation’s financial rescue. “There’s a Greek myth about a guy named Sisyphus who was compelled to roll a rock up a hill, only to see it roll back down over and over again, and it seems like that’s what we have here,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners in New York, of the European debt crisis. “Even if Greece stays in the euro and Spain can somehow recapitalize its banks, they are still in an austerity-plagued environment with low or negative growth, and that’s going to impact the rest of the world,” he added. In the United States, the 10-year Treasury yield /quotes/zigman/4868283/delayed 10_YEAR -0.55% fell to a record low of 1.62%. The National Association of Realtors reported its index of pending home sales in April unexpectedly declined, offsetting recent data that inspired hopes that housing had hit a bottom.
