Post No. 1,972 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 Friday at 12,938.11 down 158.20 or 1.21% from Thursday's close of 13,096.31. For the week the Dow is down 252.73 or 1.92% from last Friday's close of 13,190.84. Of the Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.88 and percentage-wise was2.56 %.
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 14.55 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.57 (year ago it was 13.29); today's P/E estimate is 12.65 unchanged from Thursday' s P/E estimate of 12.65 (year ago it was 12.37) and today's dividend yield is 2.68 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.68 (last year it was 2.59). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,684.75 down 20.60 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,705.35. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.16 down 68 cents from Thursday's average of $56.84. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.51 (DIS/UNH) down 48 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $51.99. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Friday 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 $2,060 ($170,535 - $168,475).
Friday 12/28/12 MarketWatch 4:33 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell hard on a report that President Barack Obama did not have a new offer to avert the so-called fiscal cliff in talks with congressional leaders Friday afternoon. “There might be some last-minute Hail Mary resolution or a chance there is some tax agreement, but I don’t think there will be any spending agreement” before the end of the year, said Chip Cobb, portfolio manager at BMT Asset Management. Equities extended a losing streak into a fifth session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.21% shed 158.20 points, or 1.2%, at 12,938.11, off 1.9% from the week-ago close. DJIA 12,938.11, -158.20, -1.21% SPX 1,402.43, -15.67, -1.10% COMP 2,960.31, -25.59, -0.86%

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.
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 Constitution and 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 13,096.31 down 18.28 or 0.14% from Wednesday's close of 13,114.59. For the year the Dow is up 7.19%. Of the Dow components 6 gained, Coke was unchanged and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up 76 cents and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up 0.41 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wisewas Travelers down 45 cents and percentage-wise was Cisco 1.36%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks swing back on talks" by Matt Jarzemsky says the Dow nearly escaped a 4th straight loss, recouping most of 151 point intraday slide on reports the House of Reps will reconvene to try to avert the fiscal cliff.
NYT pB5 "Sahres dip and rise with fiscal moves" by Reuters says stocks fell for a 4th day on Thurs but recovered most of their losses after the House said it would come back to work on the fiscal crisis this weekend.
Fin Times p20 "Michael Kors out of style as consumer malaise hurts retailers" by Stephen Foley says US stocks ended modestly lower as uncertainty continued due to the fiscal cliff.
IBD pB2 "Stocks do u turn on hint of new effort at fiscal fix" by Paul Whitfield says stocks dropped inthe first half of thursday's session but then reversed on news that the US House of Reps will reconvene Sunday raising hopes for a fiscal cliff agreement. Thursday's action saw reverses higher, ending mixed in rising volume while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,705.35 down 2.38 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,707.73. 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 $56.84 down 8 cents from Wednesday's average of $56.92. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.99 (DIS/UNH) down 5 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $52.04. The lowest volume was 3M 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 $238 ($171,092 - $170,535).
Thursday 12/27/12 MarketWatch 4:46 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks reduced their losses Thursday after word the U.S. House would convene Sunday night as lawmakers try to reach a deal to break the budget impasse before the end of the year. “As long as the negotiations resolve themselves relatively early we’ll get out mostly unscathed,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago. Equities erased the bulk of what had been sharp losses as Wall Street detected movement to avoid steep spending cuts and tax increases set to start Jan. 1. After falling below the 13,000 level for the first time in three weeks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.14% came back from a 150-point decline to end at 13,096.31, down 18.28 points, or 0.1%.
The S&P 500 index SPX-0.12% retreated 1.74 points, or 0.1%, to 1,418.09, with utilities hardest hit and consumer companies the best performing of its 10 industry sectors. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.14% declined 4.25 points, matching the 0.1% retreat of the other major indexes, to 2,985.90. Decliners edged ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 567 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 2.8 billion. Investor unease over the unresolved fiscal cliff had pushed equities to multiweek lows and propelled the CBOE Volatility Index VIX-0.05% above 20 for the first time since late July. Efforts to avert the confluence of spending cuts and tax hikes had seemingly hit a wall, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid calling prospects for an agreement before Jan. 1 unlikely. Stocks steepened their decline after Reid said there had been no movement in negotiations. On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a letter to Congress that the U.S. debt ceiling would be reached on Dec. 31 and the Treasury would start using “extraordinary measures” to finance the nation’s red ink early next year. DJIA 13,096.31, -18.28, -0.14% , SPX 1,418.10, -1.73, -0.12% , COMP 2,985.91, -4.25, -0.14% . Thursday’s economic reports were mixed. Consumer confidence declined in December as the budget battle darkened the public’s view of the economy. “Unfortunately that’s likely to be a trend until there is some resolution,” Ablin said. Another report had new-home sales rising to a more-than-two-year high in November, while a separate government report had first-time applications for jobless benefits falling by 12,000 to 350,000 last week.
