The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily; New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga. - carries Bloomberg) 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 Thursday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,887.93 up 211.88 or 1.67% from Wednesday's close of 12,676.05. For the year the Dow is up 5.49%. Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and only Cisco Systems declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wisewas IBM up $2.87 and percentage-wise was Home Depot up 3.6%. The only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco down 4 cents or 0.26% .
WSJ pC1 "Stocks take leap of faith" by Matt Phillips says stock markets on both sides of the Atlantic leapt as investors bet central bankers are readying plans to shore up their economies & fin'l markets. Exxon gained $1.28 after it reported that its 2Q earnings rose 9%, although exploration & porduction profits fell on lower energy prices & production. United Technologies was up 22 cents after it agreed to sell some ind'l products businesses to BC Partners & Carlyle Group and reported 2Q earnings that topped analysts' estimates while rev fell short.
USA Today p4B "News of plans to boost euro inspires US markets to rise" by Bloomberg says the Dow made its biggest advance in a month Thurs as European Central Bank Pres Mario Draghi pledged to defend the euro. 3M rallied $1.84.
NYT pB1 "Stocks soar after pledgte to support Euro zone" by Jack Ewing says the head of the European Central Bank said on Thurs that policy maekrs would do whatever it takes to save the euro zone buoying global fin'l markets.
IBD pB2 "Stocks deliver big gains, signal uptrend for market" by Paul Whitfield says stocks showed constructive action thurs as the idnexes rose and a slew of leaders made big gains in higher volume. some higher qualifty defensive stocks such as Walmart ahve been performing well suggesting the market is being cautious. Thursday's action saw nasdaq & S&P follow through. Current outlook is confirmed uptrend. Fin times p22 "Facebook comes under pressure as Zynga fails to hit right buttons" by martha Poon says of the 103 firms that have provided 2Q guidance more than 60 % were negative. Exxon gained 1.5% as it reported a 49% increase in quarterly profits.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,702.87 up 27.99 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,674.88. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.76 up 93 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $55.83. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.31 (HD/DIS) down $1.15 from Wednesday's median closing price of $52.46 (HD/DD. 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 made $2,799 ($170,287 - $167,488).
MarketWatch Thurs. 4:43 MarketWatch.com by Karen Gibson say US stocks rallied Thursday, lifting the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its best day of the month and into positive terrain for the week, after the European Central Bank signaled its intention to preserve the euro. The market is rallying amid “short-covering on questionable promises from the ECB President Mario Draghi. You wonder whether or not he is referring to keeping the euro as the euro, or is he trying to play politics with his words,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners LLC. The ECB leader suggested that policy makers could step into bond markets as rising yields in Spain and Italy threatened to unravel the 17-nation euro zone. “Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro,” he said at an investor conference.Bond yields in Spain and Italy plunged, temporarily removing a recent drag on sentiment. Spain’s 10-year note yield fell back under 7%. “It’s hard to tell whether he’s hoping to encourage [the] market with what amounts to meaningless promises, or whether they’ve really changed their perspective on how much liquidity they are willing to provide,” said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.
Extending gains into a second session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA rose
211.88 points, or 1.7%, to 12,887.93, with the blue-chip index up 0.5%
for the week. In its first positive finish in five, the S&P 500
Index SPX climbed
22.13 points, or 1.7%, to 1,360.02. That was also the S&P 500’s
best day of the month. Telecommunications shares led gains that
included all of its 10 sectors. Sprint Nextel Corp. S surged 20% after the wireless carrier reported increased spending by customers on data plans. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP advanced 39.01 points, or 1.4%, to 2,893.25. Shares of Zynga Inc. ZNGA dove 37% after the largest developer of games on the Facebook Inc. FB platform
reported disappointing quarterly results. Facebook shares dropped 8.5%,
their worst day since late May, ahead of the social network’s quarterly
report after the close. For every stock falling, nearly three gained on
the New York Stock
Exchange, where 897 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume topped 4
billion.Gold prices GCQ2
rose for a second session, climbing $7 to $1,615.10 an ounce on the
Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude-oil futures CLU2
rose 42 cents to $89.39 a barrel. The day’s data contained signs of
improvement in the job market and
manufacturing but a slowdown in housing. The National Association of
Realtors reported its index of pending home resales fell 1.4% in June,
illustrating lackluster momentum in the housing market.First-time
applications for jobless benefits declined more than expected last week,
down 35,000 to 353,000. Another report had orders for durable goods
rising for a second month, up 1.6% in June. “Certainly the markets today
illustrate the power of hope over
shorter-term statistics. We don’t see again anything in the statistics
that indicate recession is looming; it’s been the potential black hole
of Europe,” said McCain.
