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: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,795.96 up 207.65 or 1.65% from Friday's close of 12,588.31. For the year the Dow is up 4.73%. Of the Dow components all 30 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $3.41 and percentage-wise was 4.06%.
WSJ pC4 "Blue Chips set the table and feast" by Chris Dieterich says the Dow had its best day in more than 2 months as all 30 coponents advanced behind Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard.
NYT pB7 "Strong reports lift Wall St to a 2nd straight rally" by Reuters says stocks rose for a 2nd straight session Mon as investors were encouraged by the early atmosphere surrounding talks toa ddress the nation's fiscal problems.
IBD pB2 "Stocks start short week with big gains; trade falls" by Vincengt Mao says stocks were up sharply Mon in lower trade as the market is still in a correction.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.78 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.75 (year ago it was 12.40); today's P/E estimate is 11.99 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 11.99 (year ago it was 12.10) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.68 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.81 (last year it was 2.71). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,666.24 up 27.04 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,639.20. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.54 up 90 cents from Friday's average of $54.64. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.41 (DIS/UNH) up 75 cents from Friday's median closing price of $49.66. The lowest volume was 3M 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have made $2,700 ($166,620 -$163,920).
11/19/12 Fri. 4:46 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied Monday, notching their best session in more than two months, on upbeat housing data and increasing confidence that a U.S. budget deal would be reached. “It is quite clear both sides want to come to a compromise and that a reasonable compromise is available,” said David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, about efforts to avoid automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to begin in January.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+1.65% added 207.65 points, or 1.7%, to 12,795.96, with all of its 30 components rising. Cisco Systems Inc.CSCO+1.73% rose 1.7% after it said Sunday that it would acquire Meraki Inc. for $1.2 billion. Intel Corp. INTC+0.30% shares climbed 0.3% after the semiconductor manufacturer and Dow component said Chief Executive Paul Otellini would retire in May after nearly 40 years with the company. The S&P 500 Index S +1.28% climbed 27.01 points, or 2%, to 1,386.89, with its consumer sectors the best performing among its 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP+2.21% gained 62.94 points, or 2.2%, to 2,916.07. The session had all three indexes gaining the most since Sept. 6, when the market rallied on European Central Bank President Mario Draghi’s plan to rescue the euro. For every stock that fell more than seven gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 711 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.3 billion. The U.S. dollar DXY-0.44% fell against other global currencies as commodities rallied. Gold futures for December delivery GCZ2+1.00% rose $19.70, or 1.2%, to $1,734.40 an ounce and crude oil for January delivery CLF3+2.59% climbed $2.36, or 2.7%, to $89.28 a barrel. Stock indexes continued to rally after the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo index of builder confidence climbed to 46 in November from 41 the previous month. Separately, the National Association of Realtors reported sales of previously owned homes increased 2.1% to 4.79 million in October. Stocks on Friday finished with daily gains and weekly losses, with the market getting a lift late in the week on optimism that the White House and Congress would reach a budget agreement. “I think the surprise is going to be a more cooperative environment from our leaders going forward. Maybe that is what the stock market sniffed out last Friday with its intraday upside reversal on heavy volume,” wrote Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James & Associates, in an email. As merchants approach the holidays, some are seeing worrisome signs that Americans are tightening their purse strings. On Sunday, President Barack Obama expressed confidence that the United States would “get our fiscal situation dealt with.” The president spoke at a news conference in Bangkok, Thailand, the start of a three-nation Asian trip. Hope that a truce could keep the Israeli army from invading the Gaza Strip for the first time in nearly four years also bolstered investor sentiment. “News reports coming out of Europe overnight suggest that Egypt has stepped in to mediate a settlement of the escalating military conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza,” said Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos., in a research note.
