11/13/12 Tues pm Dow Closes at 12,756.18 down 58.9 or 0.46%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 1,900 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 11/2/12 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 11/2/12.

 The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,756.18 down 58.9 or 0.46% from Monday's close of 12,815.16.  Of the Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $2.22 or 3.63. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down $1.92 and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 3.22%.


As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of   Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.03 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.01 (year ago it was 12.98); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.15 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.22) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.66 unchanged from Monday's dividend yield of 2.66 (last year it was 2.58). 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 1,661.06 down 7.68 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,668.74. 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 (0.130216081) you get the decrease in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $7.68 change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.37 down 25 cents from Monday's average of $55.62. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.08 (DIS/UNH) up 40 cents from Monday's median closing price of 49.68. The lowest volume was Travelers 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have lost  $767 ($166,877 -$166,110).

11/13/12 Tues. 4:54 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson & Wallace Witkowski says U.S. stocks finished lower Tuesday as worries about the so-called fiscal cliff overtook the enthusiasm that came with home improvement retailer Home Depot Inc.’s better-than-expected results.“Trading like today in reaction to Home Depot is completely sensible; other than [that] we have this fiscal-cliff issue,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. Three of the top economic professors in the U.S. question if the fiscal cliff can be avoided.Erasing earlier gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.46%  tumbled 58.90 points, or 0.5%, to close at 12,756.18, with most of the selloff coming in the final hour of trading.Microsoft Corp.’s MSFT -3.22%  4% loss led the Dow lower after the software maker said its Windows chief was leaving, effective immediately. The sustainability of any stock-market rally could be questionable until progress is made on budget talks, without which more than $600 billion in automatic tax hikes and spending cuts would kick off in January. Microsoft Windows head Steven Sinofsky is out.“The markets are going to be held hostage to that. It’s just too big of an event when you’re talking up to 4% of GDP — that’s not inconsequential,” Luschini added.Wall Street largely wants to see the issue resolved, but how that is accomplished is less of a concern, according to the strategist. “Whether you like the outcome or not, businesses can adapt to that.” Home Depot HD +3.63% , the best performer on the index with a 3.6% gain, was among the six out of 30 Dow components finishing higher. The home-improvement retailer reported profit that topped expectations. Home Depot’s results “speak to something that has been remarkable: Every time you count them out, the consumer has come back to hold up their end of the bargain,” commented Luschini.  The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.40% , which also spent much of the day in slightly positive territory, lost 5.50 points, or 0.4%, to close at 1,374.53. The technology and financial sectors weighed, with Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -2.01% , Citrix Systems Inc. CTXS -2.29% , and Genworth Financial Inc. GNW -2.53%  among the notable decliners.Shares of MBIA Inc. MBI -19.02%   fell 19% after Bank of America Corp. BAC -0.64%  offered to buy the insurer’s outstanding bonds to block its moves to put space between it and a cash-deprived unit.Consumer discretionary and utilities performed the best among the S&P’s 10 sectors, with Ross Stores Inc. ROST +2.52% , Limited Brands Inc. LTD +1.90% , Urban Outfitters Inc. URBN +1.61%  and TJX Cos. TJX +2.66%  following Home Depot shares higher.The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.70%  lost 20.37 points, or 0.7%, to 2,883.89.For every stock that rose more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 677 million shares traded by the close. Composite volume cleared 3.4 billion shares.Stocks were mostly higher much of the afternoon after starting the session lower on worries that came with euro-area leaders failing to agree on the management of Greece’s debt, pushing off a further decision until a meeting next week.President Barack Obama, who has invited Democratic and Republican leaders to the White House this week to start discussions on averting the fiscal cliff, on Tuesday met with labor leaders. On Wednesday, Obama planned talks with business executives including Ford Motor Co. F +0.27%  Chief Executive Alan Mulally.

The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog.


A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Average:

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,668.77 up .53 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,668.24. 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 (0.130216081) you get the increase in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $7.68 change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.63 up 2 cents from Thursday's average of $55.61. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.96 (DIS/UNH) down $1.92 cents from Thursday's median closing price of 51.88. 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have made  $53 ($166,877 -$166,824).

11/9/12 Fri. 4:14 MarketWatch by Polya Lesova says U.S. stocks finished higher on Friday, as data showing a rise in consumer sentiment appeared to eclipse anxiety about how Congress and the White House will resolve the fiscal-cliff challenge. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.03% gained 4.07 points, or 0.03%, to end at 12,815.39, but declined 2.1% for the week. Boeing Inc. BA +3.20% and Caterpillar Inc. CAT +1.54% were among the top gainers in the Dow. This was the Dow's third consecutive week of losses. The Dow and the S&P 500 index SPX +0.17% endured their worst week since June as measured by their weekly percentage drops. The S&P 500 rose 2.34 points, or 0.2%, to end at 1,379.85, but declined 2.4% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.32% climbed 9.29 points, or 0.3%, to end at 2,904.87, but dropped 2.6% for the week.
