12/29/12 Sat FDA Approves Pfizer's Eliquis

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 1,973 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 Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily and the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times; and Saturday's New York Times &amp Atlanta Journal Constitution 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Average: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 was Hewlett-Packard down 2.56 %.

IBD pB6 "Stocks dive, trade withers as fiscal fix eludes US" by Paul Whitfield says stocks bought more time for a wobbly uptrend as timid volume allowed the bulls to absorb the day's losses as Friday's action was down in weak volume and the current outlook is still uptrend under pressure.

Fin Times p11 "Creeping pessimism holds S&P in negative territory" by Stephen Foley says US stocks were lower in noon trade Fri putting them on a course for a 5th straight session as the fiscal cliff draws near. Exxon lost 1.3%.  Hewlett-Packard was the worst perfromer in the Dow off 2.1% after it confirmed the Department of Justice was  investigating fraud at its Autonomy unit.

Sat. WSJ pB1 "Dow practices its cliff dive" by Jonathan Cheng says investors coming to blieve the fiscal cliff will happen, dumped stocks Fri in a selloff that put the Dow into the red for the month.

Sat. NYT pB3 "Pessimism about fiscal gridlock extends a slide" by AP & Sat. AJC pA12 "Stocks extend losing streak" by AP says stocks fell for a fith day due to concerns about the fiscal cliff.

As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B5 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's closing trailing P/E ratio is 14.38   down from Friday's opening  trailing P/E ratio of 14.55 (year ago it was 13.29); Friday's closing P/E estimate is 12.57 down from Friday' s opening  P/E estimate of 12.65 (year ago it was 12.49) and Friday's closing     dividend yield is 2.71 up  from Friday's opening  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 S&P 500 Index SPX-1.10% shed 15.67 points, or 1.1%, at 1,402.43, leaving it with a weekly decline of 1.9%. The Nasdaq Composite IndexCOMP-0.86% lost 25.59 points, or 0.9%, at 2,960.31, down 2% for the week. For every stock rising, more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 535 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 2.4 billion. Republican and Democratic leaders met with President Barack Obama at the White House Friday afternoon, as talks continued to reach a deal to avert steep spending cuts and tax hikes. The gathering included House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans, as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, both Democrats. The market, for the most part, is prepared for the budget drama to continue to play out into the first two to three weeks of 2013, according to Cobb. “What it’s not prepared for is if it’s Feb. 15 and we’re still talking about this,” he said. Equities had cut their losses after Bloomberg News reported Obama would propose a scaled-back offer in another effort at reaching a deal. “Headlines coming across the tape are giving details of the president’s proposal. … We sure hope somebody has something up their sleeve,” Elliot Spar, a market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., wrote in emailed comments. The market continued its recent trend of offering little (if any) reaction to economic reports, as investors fixated on efforts to reach a budget agreement. The National Association of Realtors reported pending home sales climbed for a third month in November, with its index up 1.7% to 106.4, the highest level since April 2010. “All of these reports are totally overshadowed by this, and will continue to be until it’s done,” Cobb commented of efforts to avoid roughly $600 billion in tax increases and spending reductions, widely seen as enough to push the economy into recession.
