Post No. 1,945 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 ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of 12/7/12 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 12/7/12.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 13,245.45 down 2.99 or 0.02% from Tuesday's close of 13,248.44. Of the Dow components 16 gained and 1 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar up 60 cents and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 1.96%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down $1.90 or 2.68 %.
.As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.74 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.67 (year ago it was 12.93); today's P/E estimate is 12.52 uunchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.52 (year ago it was 12.33) and today's dividend yield is 2.66 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.67 (last year it was 2.64). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,724.77 down 0.39 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,725.16. 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 Wednesay's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.49 down 2 cents from Tuesday's average of $57.51. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.42 (DIS/UNH) up 30 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $51.12. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Wednesday 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 $39 ($172,516 - $172,477).
Wednesday's 12/12/12 MarketWatch 3:50 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks gains dissipated on Wednesday as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned the Fed does not have the ability to shield the economy from the fiscal cliff. “We cannot offset the full impact of the fiscal cliff — it’s just too big,” Bernanke said at an afternoon news conference. Stocks had jumped to session highs after the central bank said it would add further stimulus, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising as much as 81 points. The Dow industrials DJIA -0.02% declined 12.69 points at 13,236.29.
Dow gainers included DuPont DD +1.40% , up 1.7% after the chemicals company said it would repurchase as much as $1 billion of its shares in 2013 and that 2012 profit would come in at the high end of its outlooks. The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.04% hung on higher by a point to 1,428.97. Aetna Inc.’s AET +3.21% shares rallied 3.9%, a day after the health insurer projected earnings growth of about 6% next year. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.28% fell 12 points, or 0.4%, to 3,013.18. Advancers remained just ahead of decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 462 million shares traded as of 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume neared 3 billion. The U.S. dollar DXY -0.21% and Treasury notes fell, with the yield on the 10-year note 10_YEAR +2.77% rising to 1.701%. Bernanke took questions after the U.S. central bank said it would add $45 billion in Treasury-note purchases to its $40 billion-a-month purchases of mortgage-backed bonds, and would keep official rates near zero so long as the jobless rate remains above 6.5% and inflation is not forecast to rise above 2.5%. World's major central banks are embarking on an aggressive new phase of policy activism, a course fraught with economic and political risks. “I’m not surprised by the lack of a change in interest rates, and I’m not surprised by the continued buyback, but I am extremely surprised by the tying it [interest-rate policy] to the unemployment rate, as I don’t know how you even put those two together,” said Chip Cobb, portfolio manager at BMT Asset Management in Bryn Mawr, Pa. “Investors are trying to shake out what it really means, but I don’t think the market understands it for one, and two, [the market] is still clearly focused on Jan. 1 and what that means,” added Cobb of the automatic spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to start if budget negotiations in Washington do not succeed. A day after conferring by phone with President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday said the president’s revenue demand would not pass Congress.
Later Wednesday, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the president continues to believe a deal to avert the fiscal cliff is possible by the end of the year. But Carney said Republican leaders have given “no indication” that they would agree to higher taxes for the wealthiest 2%. “You see a lot of gamesmanship, but it looks on the surface like we’re going to see some increases in taxes,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Robert W. Baird & Co., who believes a budget deal will be reached by the end of the year. “Everything is so politicized now, it’s hard to get your arms around what is real and not real, but the market is assuming nothing much is going to happen here.” Obama has cut his demand for $1.6 trillion in additional revenue from taxing wealthy Americans to $1.4 trillion over a decade. The president’s figure remains $600 billion above the Republican’s stance.
The CBOE Volatility Index VIX +2.51% fell 3% at 15.570. “Based on continued views of the VIX, it still looks like the market expects a deal, and you keep hearing mildly positive comments, if not from Washington, then certainly from a lot of the business leaders and money managers, who feel there is a chance of a mild resolution before the year is done,” according to Cobb.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal and Constituion & 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,248.44 up 78.56 or 0.6% from Monday's close of 13,169.88. For the year the Dow is up 8.4%. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.81 and percentage-wise was Intel up 2.84%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down $1.26 or 1.75%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks finally shake the postelecionblues" by Matt Jarzemskys ays the Dow rose, fully erasing thier losses since the election, as investors digested reports of progress in budget talks & an Apple rebound pushed the tech sector higher.
Fin Times p24 "AIG leads advance as gov prepares to shed last of its stake" by Arash Massoudi says US equities had their 5th straight session of advances as investors set aside fiscal cliff fears. Intel climbed 2.8% & Microsoft rose 1.4%.
NYT pB9 "S&P rises to level set election day" by Reuters says stocks rose Tues led by gains in tech firms helping the S&P to end it highest level since Election Day.
IBD pB6 "Uptrend strengthens as Nasdaq regains key level" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks displayed constructive action Tues acheiving solid gains as vol picked up as the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,725.16 up 10.23 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,714.93. 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 Tuesay's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.51 up 35 cents from Monday's average of $57.16. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.12 (DIS/UNH) up 37 cents from Monday's median closing price of $51.75. 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 made $1,023 ($172,516 - $171,493).
Tuesday's 12/11/12 MarketWatch 4:30 pm by Polya Lesova & Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 Index gaining for a fifth consecutive session, buoyed by optimism that Republicans and Democrats will eventually reach a deal to prevent the automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to go into effect early next year. The technology sector led the market higher, with Apple Inc.AAPL+2.18% and Texas Instruments Inc. TXN+3.99% posting particularly strong gains. The S&P 500 SPX+0.65% advanced 9.29 points, or 0.7%, to 1,427.84 — its highest closing value since Nov. 6, the day of the U.S. presidential election. The technology sector was the biggest gainer Tuesday among the S&P 500’s 10 major sectors. The mood was buoyed by a report in The Wall Street Journal late Monday that budget negotiations between the White House and House Speaker John Boehner have made steady progress in recent days. Addressing the House of Representatives Tuesday, Boehner said he was “hopeful” an accord would be reached. The Ohio Republican also said his party was waiting for President Barack Obama to outline specific spending cuts. Negotiations between White House and House Speaker John Boehner are progressing steadily. Stocks pared gains after Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday afternoon that a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff will be difficult to reach before Christmas. “The markets are holding out hope this is all a big bluff,” Ethan Harris, co-head of global economics research at Bank of America, said of the back-and-forth on Capitol Hill that has not yet resulted in an agreement. Common sense would dictate that the White House and Republicans would reach a compromise to avoid going over the fiscal cliff, but allowing the battle to linger on raises the risk that a deal won’t be reached, according to Harris, speaking at a BofA Merrill Lynch conference in New York Tuesday. “It’ll probably go to the last second, and there’s a decent chance we go over the cliff and it will be spring before this is resolved. There is a high risk Obama and Boehner agree in principle to a deal and Congress doesn’t approve it,” he added. After surging as much as 136 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.60% closed up 78.56 points, or 0.6%, to 13,248.44, its highest closing level since Oct. 22. The Dow rose for a fifth consecutive trading session, marking its longest win streak since mid-March. Chip manufacturer Intel Corp. INTC+2.84% was the top gainer in the Dow, rising 2.8%. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP+1.49% climbed 35.34 points, or 1.2%, to end at 3,022.30. More than 690 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange; composite volume topped 3.6 billion. Shares of TripAdvisor Inc. TRIP+6.56% rallied after Liberty Interactive Corp. LINTA-0.99% said it acquired voting control of the hotel-reviews site. Apple’s shares rose 2.2%. ISI Group cited China Unicom’s announcement of more than 300,000 preorders for the iPhone 5 set to go on sale Friday. China Unicom is China’s second-largest wireless carrier. Shares of Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL+5.13% rose 5.1% after it agreed to acquire a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. from Singapore Airlines. American International Group Inc. AIG+5.70% climbed nearly 6% after the Treasury Department said it would sell its remaining shares of the insurance company, nearly closing out its largest rescue that came with the 2008 financial crisis.Federal Reserve officials started a two-day policy-setting meeting on Tuesday, with Wall Street expecting central bankers to opt for more bond purchases when Operation Twist expires this year. Stock-index futures drew an early lift from an unexpectedly upbeat gauge of German investor sentiment, which rose sharply in December.
