The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,245.68 up 133.24 or 1.02% from Monday's close of 13,112.44. Of the Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $1.62 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 2.82%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel down 10 cents or 0.5%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.35 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.31 (year ago it was 12.98); today's P/E estimate is 12.37 up from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.35) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.59 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.59 (last year it was 2.57). 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 1,724.80 up 16.05 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,708.75. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.49 up 53 cents from Monday's average of $56.96. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.40 (DIS/UNH) up 57 cents from Monday's median closing price of 52.83. 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 or dividends) and sold at the close you would have made $1,605 $172,480 -($170,875).
11/6/12 Tues. 3:40 MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied on Tuesday, extending gains into a second day, as Wall Street embraced the notion that soon the uncertainty that came with the presidential campaign would be over. As Americans cast ballots that should determine whether President Barack Obama remains in office for another term or Mitt Romney replaces him, equities surged in another low-volume trading session. “It’s having a decision that is important. We do not want a repeat of 2000,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets, referring to the election where Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college, when the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to stop a recount in Florida. After climbing 178 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.02% rose 126.47 points, or 1%, to 13,238.91 in late-afternoon trade, with Hewlett-Packard Co.HPQ +2.78% leading gains that included all but two of its 30 components. “Hope springs eternal on Wall Street that we won’t fall apart. There is enough of a belief that the economy is going to expand, maybe not strongly, but still expand, in 2013,” said Hugh Johnson, chairman of Hugh Johnson Advisors in Albany, N.Y. “For the past few months we’ve been saying that the market would rally in November and December, regardless of who wins. It looks like the economy is improving and the Federal Reserve is still pumping money into the system,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at RW Baird & Co. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.79% climbed 10.43 points, or 0.7%, to 1,427.69, with energy and industrials the best performing and telecommunications the sole laggard of its 10 major industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.41% added 9.84 points, or 0.3%, to 3,009.50. For every stock falling nearly three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 461 million shares traded by 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume topped 2.6 billion. Bittles said the market’s rise “looks bullish for Romney,” given the perception the Republican would be friendlier to corporate America. Hogan, however, dismissed the notion: “You could make the same statement in the other direction, that the market is rallying on an Obama win.” “I don’t think the market is telling us anything about the election right now,” said Hogan, who chalked up the advance as largely due to a couple of better earnings reports, including CVS Caremark Corp. CVS +0.54% , light volume and that “we’re down 4% since September.” Regardless of the outcome, Tuesday’s election is unlikely to resolve Wall Street’s concern over the so-called fiscal cliff — more than $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts due to take effect next year should Congress fail to reach agreement. “Wall Street has concluded that no matter who wins we’ve got some very significant problems ahead,” said Johnson. Investors’ concerns over the fiscal cliff have kept stocks in a holding pattern since mid-September. “Wall Street used to think it’s better to have a divided government, because very little gets done, and that’s good news for Wall Street. Now if nothing gets done, it could have serious economic consequences,” Johnson said. The U.S. dollar DXY -0.12% fell against other currencies, including the euro EURUSD +0.1457% , while dollar-denominated commodities gained, with crude-oil futures CLZ2 +3.21% rising $3.06 to settle at $88.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Treasury prices slipped, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note10_YEAR +3.54% at 1.748%.
