Post No. 1,946 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.
A read of the print editions of Thursday'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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: 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. For the year the Dow is up 8.41%. 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 %.
WSJ pC4 "Dow gets thrown for a loop by Fed" by Jonathan Cheng says the Fed's new stimulus program failed to excite investors who bid stocks higher for several hours before erasing those gains to end the gain largely unchanged. DuPont is charted under good news as it authorized $1 bil repurchse of its shares. Walmart led the Dow declines falling $1.95. Hewlett-Packard was up 27 cents and DuPont was up 61 cents to lead the Dow gainers.
FT p26 "Citi leads fin'ls higher while flight from risk bolsters telecoms" by Arash Massoudi says Wall St stocks pared gians in a late afternoon sell off as investors turning negative following statements from Benranke on the impact of the fiscal cliff on the US economy. Walmart lost 2.8% after India said it would launch an inquiry into its lobbying practices.
NYT pB1 "Investors stay calm, if cautious" by Nathaniel Popper says the current rally has been fuled by consensus that Congress & the White House have narrowed thier differences.
AJC pA19 "Early Dow gains erased late" by AP says stocks finished little changed after a rally prompted by the Fed's latest economic stimulus program fizzled out.
IBD pB2 "Stocks forfeit early gains; S&P 500 gets stalling day" by David Saito-Chung says stocks took a hairpin turn to a mixed finish Wed as investors reacted soberly to a historic Fed Res' decision to explicitly link a policy of cheap money with specific economic targets. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
.As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.76 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.74 (year ago it was 12.79); today's P/E estimate is 12.52 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.52 (year ago it was 12.33) and today's dividend yield is 2.66 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.66 (last year it was 2.69). 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.
