Post No. 1,948 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 Friday'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 Thursday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,170.72 down 74.73 or 0.56% from Wednesday's close of 13,245.45. For the year the Dow is up 7.80%. Of the Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar up 41 cents or 0.47%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck down $1.31 or 2.89%.
WSJ pC4 "Cliff talks put stocks in reverse" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks' steady string of advances skidded to a halt Thurs after the fiscal cliff raised oncnerns. Merck lost 88 cents.
Fin Times p26 "Apple turns sour as Google raises pressure with launch of maps app" by Arash Massoudi says US equities recorded their first losing session in more than a week due to the Fed saying it would extend accommodative monetary policy measures. Caterpillar was up 0.5% and Walmart was uo 0.2% as it was in talks to buy a controlling stake in Turkey's biggest retailer.
NYT pB9 "S&P streak comes to an end on fiscal worries" by Reuters says the S&P ended its 6 day winning streak due to the fiscal cliff.
IBD pB2 "Stocks yield some ground, as Nasdaq loses 50 day" by Paul Whitfield says stocks showed action action in mixed volume for a 2nd day in a row.
AJC pA21 "Dkown day on news from DC" by AP says stocks sank for msot of the day after Obama and Boehner gave discouraging signals about the budget talks.
.As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.68 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.76 (year ago it was 12.84); today's P/E estimate is 12.52 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.52 (year ago it was 12.33) and today's dividend yield is 2.67 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.66 (last year it was 2.68). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,715.04 down 9.73 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,724.77. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.17 down 32 cents from Wednesday's average of $57.49. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.75 (DIS/UNH) down 67 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $52.42. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Thursday 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 $973 ($172,477 - $171,504).
Thursday's 12/13/12 MarketWatch 4:31 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocksfell on Thursday as politicians bickered in public over their difficulties in reaching a deal to avert recession-inducing spending cuts and tax hikes in the new year.House Speaker John Boehner called a news conference to air his views on what is blocking negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff, with the Ohio Republican blasting President Barack Obama and Democrats for looking to “punish small businesses” with higher tax rates.House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi calls on legislators to pass a fiscal-cliff deal and agree to middle-income tax cuts.At a separate news conference, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, countered that Americans shouldn’t have their taxes “held hostage” to Boehner and his press events.The White House also entered the fray, with spokesman Jay Carney calling Republican opposition to higher taxes on the wealthiest 2% the single obstacle holding up a deal.“Rates on top earners have to go up as part of the revenue equation. When that happens, we believe we can reach a deal fairly quickly,” Carney said.Obama and Boehner are due to meet at the White House at 5 p.m. Eastern to discuss the fiscal cliff. The two men last met on Sunday.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.56% fell 74.73 points, or 0.6%, to end at 13,170.72. The top decliners in the Dow were from the health-care sector, with Merck & Co. MRK -1.96% down 2% and UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH -1.57% The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.72% declined 21.65 points, or 0.7%, to end at 2,992.16.Around 663 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Composite volume exceeded 3.3 billion.Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James,” said that “Democrats are in a much better bargaining position” on the fiscal-cliff issue. Noting that both parties want tax rates for the middle class to remain low, Brown added this alone would be basis for an agreement.“The market is pricing in a deal happening to avert the fiscal cliff before the end of the year,” according to Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets.But Brown noted: “A lot of people are starting to second-guess the likelihood of a deal by the end of the year. My view is that it seems more likely in January than December.”Wall Street offered only brief reaction to moves by global central banks and a number of U.S. economic reports.
“We certainly care what central
banks are doing — that’s going to be
important to the global economy,” said Hogan. “But all of that is the
backdrop” to budget talks on Capitol Hill.In economic news, the Labor
Department reported initial claims for
jobless benefits fell by 29,000 to 343,000 last week, with the data
exceeding expectations.The Fed refashions its bond-buying programs,
extending its
far-reaching effort to revitalize the job market and boost the economy
into 2013.Other reports had wholesale prices falling and retail sales
bouncing back in November.The drop in prices paid by U.S. producers was
lower than expected, with declining energy costs a large part of the
decline.On Thursday, the cost of crude fell, with oil futures
CLF3
-0.77%
pricing a barrel below $86.“Our energy team is pretty optimistic that oil prices are going to come
down next year” as the U.S. continues to ramp up production, said Brown
at Raymond James.Falling energy and gasoline prices could help offset any sort of tax hike on U.S. consumers, he added.
U.S.
stocks posted a flat performance Wednesday after Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that the central bank doesn’t have the
ability to shield the economy from the full impact of the fiscal cliff.
Many economists fear that failure to avoid the cliff would trigger a
recession.Euro-zone finance ministers approved the next round of rescue
funds to
Greece on Thursday, with the money expected to be in the pipeline next
week. European Union leaders also reached a deal to bring the region’s
biggest lenders under a single supervisory body, which Lazard’s Hogan
called an especially positive development.“It’s a critical step needed
in the path toward fiscal unity,” he said.Shares of Google Inc.
GOOG
+0.74%
gained 0.7% after the search giant released a version of its Maps app for Apple Inc.’s
AAPL
-1.73%
iPhone, which appeared on Apple’s App Store late Wednesday. The Google
