No. 1,692 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 as of 6/20/12 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of
6/20/12.
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's and Investor's Business Daily, the combined Saturday and Sunday issues of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times; and Sunday's & Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution yielded the following stories about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 component companies and the Dow with stories about the Dow aggregated first and then items about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 companies presented alphabetically, followed by a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,640.78 up 67.21 or 0.53% from Thursday's close of 12,573.57. For the week the Dow was down 126.35 or 0.99% from last Friday's close of 12,767.13. For the year the Dow is up 3.46%. Of the 30 Dow components 28 gained and 2 (Caterpillar and Walmart) declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Travelers up 75 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 1.87 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down 40 cents or 0.59%.
Inv. Bus. Daily pB6 "Stocks hang tough after Thursday's sharp decline" by Paul Whitfield says stocks rebounded from Thursday's nasty drojp, but lower volume throughout most of the session suggested the big money wasn't rushing to buy. Friday's action was up as rebalancing of the russell indexes boosted volume. The current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
WSJ pB4 "Too little, too late for Dow" by Matt Jarzemsky says a rebound by banks & health care shares helped push the dow higher but not enough to avoid a losing week. Fin'l firms led the advance following Thurs' downgrade of 15 global banks by Moody's. JPMorgan was up 48 cents.
Sat. NYT pB6 "Bank shares, thurs' losers, lead S&P back up" by Reuters says stocks ended higher on Fri led by gains in bank shares as the S&P bounced back from its 2nd worst decline of the year.
Fin Times p11 "Morgan Stanley rebounds after Moody's downgrade" by Kandy Wong says banks stocks were mixed on the week. Bank of America lost 0.8% and JPMorgan gained 3.5%. Over the week, energy and utilities stocks led losses as the price of crude oil dropped below $90 for the first time in 18 months. Exxon was 0.9% lower. Procter & Gamble was down 4.3% after it cut earnings and rev forecast for the 2nd time in 3 months.
As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.94 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.85 (year ago it was 13.58); Saturday's P/E estimate is 12.15 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.05 (year ago it was 12.20) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.64 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.65 (last year it was 2.51). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,670.22 up 8.88 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,661.34. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.67 up $0.29 from Thursday's average closing price of $55.38. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.49 (HD/DD) up 0.10 from Thursday's median closing price of $50.39. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Friday 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 $888 ($167,022 - $166,134).
MarketWatch Fri. 4:13 pm by Myra P. Saefong Gibson says U.S. stocks finished higher Friday, recouping a portion of the hefty losses they saw in the previous session as investors cheered news that the European Central Bank would take further steps to ease loan collateral for banks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.53% rose 67 points, or 0.5%, to close at 12,640.86, but fell 1% for the week, while the S&P 500 SPX+0.72% added 10 points, or 0.7%, to 1,335.02, losing 0.6% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite COMP+1.17% rose 33 points, or 1.2%, to 2,892.42, ending the week 0.7% higher. The gains helped lift the Nasdaq back into the black for the week, but the Dow industrials and S&P 500 fell from last Friday's close. The market rallied "on short covering from the selloff from [Federal Reserve Chairman Ben] Bernanke's disappointing game of 'Twister' instead of a full blown QE3, some relief that the bank downgrades didn't spell out disaster and news from Europe that it is loosening their collateral requirements," said Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisors.
