Tues. 5:10 by Kate Gibson says US stocks recouped most of Tuesday’s losses, limiting the damage that came with concern about Greece’s struggle to form a government.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,932.09 down 76.44 or 0.59% from Monday's close of 13,008.53. Of the 30 Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Disney. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard.
As
of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow
Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St.
Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.46 down
from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.53 (year ago it was 14.42);
Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.46 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of
12.46 (year ago it was 12.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.52 unchanged
from Monday's dividend yield of 2.53 (last year it was 2.34). 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 1,708.70 down 10.11 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,718.81. 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 $56.96 down $0.33 from
Monday's average closing price of $57.29. The median closing price
of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.65 (DD/HD) down
$0.42 from Monday's median closing price of $52.07. 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 lost $1,011 ($171,881- $170,870 ).
“This has been a pattern: sell until Europe closes. Once we stop getting pelted by the continual syncopation of bad news, there is more opportunity to focus on the U.S. market and the U.S. economy,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago. After a 198-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.59% closed down 76.44 points, or 0.6%, at 12,932.09, with 25 of its 30 components down, including fast-food chain McDonald’s Corp. MCD -2.05% after its April sales missed estimates. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.43% retreated 5.86 points, or 0.4%, at 1,363.72, with the consumer-discretionary sector down the most and health care and utilities faring the best among its 10 sectors.
New Greek election likely

Falling to 1,250 on the S&P 500 would “take you back to levels where you get good solid support. It’s not an indication the sky is falling, but that the market is coming to terms with the fact that we thought that we were breaking into a much stronger phase, but the reality is we’re still stuck in the lethargic, slow growth we’ve been in since July of 2009,” said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.
Shares of Electronic Arts Inc. EA -4.30% lost 4.3% after the videogame publisher’s outlook came in below expectations. Watch maker Fossil Inc. FOSL -37.57% shares sank nearly 38% after it cut its 2012 earnings forecast.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.39% shed 11.49 points, or 0.4%, at 2,946.27. For every two stocks on the rise, three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 879 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 4.1 billion. Gold futures shed nearly $35 an ounce as political uncertainty in Europe bolstered the U.S. dollar DXY +0.40% , which gained for a seventh day — its longest such stretch since September 2008. Gold for June delivery GCM2 -2.07% fell 2.1% to end at $1,604.50 an ounce. Crude slid for a fifth session, with the June contract CLM2 -0.54% losing 93 cents, or 1%, to settle at $97.01 a barrel. Treasury prices rose, with the yield on the 10-year note 10_YEAR 0.00% sliding to 1.848%. In Greece, political leaders met for a second day in an effort to create a government after New Democracy’s Antonis Samaras was unable to reach a consensus, with the task now falling to Alexis Tsipras, head of Syriza, the party that received the second-most votes in Sunday’s election. “More and more investors have resisted allowing this market to correct, but when you’re fighting the market, the market always wins. We had a little bit of a letup in worry about Europe, but now have decided that chaos is not a good thing,” said McCain at Key Private Bank.

Monday's
Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,718.81 down
3.93 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,722.74. 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
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.29 down $0.13 from
Friday's average closing price of $57.42. The median closing price
of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.07 (DD/HD) down
$0.41 from Friday's median closing price of $52.48. The lowest
volume was United Technologies 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 lost $393 ($172,274 - $171,881 ).
MarketWatch
Mon.
5:08 by Kate Gibson says US stocks ended with a blue-chip loss and
modest gains for
broader benchmarks, as investors reflected on voting results over the
weekend in which Greece and France rejected pro-austerity
candidates.“Both the Greek and French elections move us closer to more
accommodation from the European Central Bank,” said Art Hogan, a market
strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. But the election results should
not come as a surprise, and may not
change monetary policy much in the euro zone, Hogan added. “The same
level of austerity that was hoisted upon France for the last 12 months
will be with them the next 12 months.”

In France’s presidential race, François Hollande defeated incumbent
Nicolas Sarkozy, as widely anticipated. In Greece, it remained unclear
whether the two major parties would be able to form a coalition
government that could continue the spending cuts needed to ensure the
continuation of rescue funds. Immediate austerity, in recessionary economies, simply doesn’t work — a
point apparently better understood by many European voters than those
they have elected,” David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan
Funds, wrote in an emailed note.
A day after voting in Greece and France, the head of the International
Monetary Fund spoke in favor of gradual moves to reduce budget deficits
to avoid inflicting more damage on struggling economies. IMF head
Christine Lagarde made her comments in an address in Zurich, but did not
refer to any individual countries.Last week, U.S. equities suffered their biggest declines this year after
a report had American corporations hiring fewer workers than forecast.
