Post No. 1,935 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 recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of 11/2/12 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 11/2/12.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,074.04 up 39.55 or 0.64% from Wednesday's close of 13,034.49. Of the Dow components 19 gained, Hewlett-Packard was unchanged and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron up $1.20 and percentage-wise was Intel up 1.56%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Travelers down 85 cents or 1.15 %.
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 14.52 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.42 (year ago it was 13.19); Thursday's P/E estimate is 12.35 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.35) and today's dividend yield is 2.64 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.66 (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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,702.45 up 5.15 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,697.30. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.75 up 17 cents from Wednesday's average of $56.58. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.36 (DIS/UNH) down 36 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $51.72. 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 made $515 ($170,245 - $169,730).
Thursday's MarketWatch 4:24 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. Stocks climbed modestly Thursday, with an optimistic forecast from Broadcom Corp. bolstering technology shares as investors watched fiscal-cliff negotiations. “It surprises me that the market has held up reasonably well in the face of the posturing. Maybe more of this has been priced in than we thought,” John De Clue, chief investment officer at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said of the down-to-the-wire political back-and-forth over the budget. A judge in Silicon Valley is expected to rule on a potential sales ban on Samsung products in the U.S. at a hearing. The WSJ's Yun-Hee Kim explains why this hearing is important and what the implications are for both Apple and Samsung. “I think this will get resolved, if not by end of the year, by early 2013,” Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group, said of the automatic steep spending cuts and tax increases slated to begin in January. The standoff appears to be weighing on business confidence, but “on the other hand consumers don’t appear terribly concerned,” said Faucher of recent data illustrating consumer sentiment at multiyear highs.
“It’s the tale of two economies, businesses have no choice but to approach planning for next year in a cautionary mode,” given the uncertain tax and regulatory environment, De Clue said. But consumers are feeling more confident about spending, a trend De Clue ties to “so much of our perception of wealth is tied to housing, and we keep hearing evidence of a housing market that is recovering much better than the Street expected.” Up 0.4% for the week so far, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.30% added 39.55 points, or 0.3%, at 13,074.04, with computer-chip maker Intel Corp. INTC +1.56% leading gains among the 30 components. Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who is retiring in May, on Wednesday said his successor would likely be chosen from inside the company. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.33% rose 4.66 points, or 0.3%, to 1,413.94, with technology the best performing and utilities the worst of the 10 major industry groups. roadcom’sBRCM +3.15% shares rose 3.2%, a day after the chip manufacturer projected fourth-quarter revenue at the upper end of its target range.
Akamai Technologies Inc.AKAM +10.03% rallied 10% on news that it would jointly sell services with AT&T Inc. Shares of Safeway Inc. SWY +2.41% jumped 2.4% after the food-and-drug retailer joined other companies in accelerating its quarterly cash dividend to December to bypass a potential hike in dividend taxes if the fiscal-cliff issue remains in play at the end of the year.
Nasdaq said it erroneously postponed an initial public offering set for
Wednesday morning, marking another bungled IPO launch this year by an exchange. Halting a four-session losing streak, the Nasdaq Composite COMP
+0.52%
climbed 15.57 points, or 0.5%, to 2,989.27.
Apple Inc. AAPL
-0.05% rose
1.6%, a day after shares of the consumer-technology company took their biggest
single-day percentage hit since December 2008. For every seven shares declining eight gained on the New York Stock Exchange,
where 617 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.2 billion. Oil prices fell to a one-week low after the European Central Bank reduced its
growth expectations. Crude for January delivery CLF3
-1.63%
dropped $1.62, or 1.8%, to $86.26 a barrel in New York. ECB President Mario
Draghi told a news conference “weak economic activity is expected to continue
into next year.” Treasury prices gained, with the benchmark 10-year note’s 10_YEAR -0.19% yield
falling to 1.587%. The fiscal-cliff drama does not seem to have investors particularly shaken,
at least by one measure of Wall Street uncertainty. The CBOE Market Volatility
Index VIX
+0.73% fell
3.9% on Thursday to 16.46. The VIX closed at 26.66 — its highest finish this
year — on June 1, after an anemic monthly jobs report came in under the
gloomiest of expectations, rattling investors. The index has not finished above
20 since late July. “The cliff is so dominating everything now, that nothing much is going to
move the market, absent maybe Greece deciding to leave the euro zone, which we
do not think will happen,” said De Clue at U.S. Bank. The Labor Department reported jobless claims fell by 25,000 to 370,000 last
week to their lowest level in a month. The weekly data is positive in that it shows the negative impact of the
recent superstorm on the labor market to be a temporary one, said PNC’s Faucher.
“It’s in line with what markets were expecting,” he said of the market’s muted
reaction. “It’s certainly good news. After they rose about 90,000 in the wake of
Hurricane Sandy, they are now back to where they were before, so it looks like
there won’t be any permanent impact from the storm,” Faucher said. The pattern is the same as during 2005’s Hurricane Katrina, which was
followed by a big spike in claims shortly after the storm hit, with the count of
those filing for jobless benefits returning to pre-Katrina levels weeks later,
Faucher said. The weekly data come ahead of Friday’s monthly nonfarm payrolls report, with
the unemployment rate likely to hold at 7.9% for November. On Wednesday, stocks mostly advanced, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.30%
rising 82 points, after Bloomberg News reported of Republican
defections to a bipartisan effort on Capitol Hill to break the budget impasse.Thursday's Closing Dow Numbers:

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal & amp;amp, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 13,034.49 up 82.71 or 0.64% from Tuesday's close of 12,951.78. For the year the Dow is up 6.07%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down 71 cents and percentage-wise was Walmart down 0.65%.
WSJ pC4 "Blue Chips climb to 1 month high" by Matt Jarzemsky says US stocks rose as fin'l shares rallied & a measure of service sector activity topped expectations. Bank of America led the Dow jumping 56 cents. Travelers was up $3.47 after saying it is resuming stock buybacks.
Fin Times p24 "Apple's reteat deepens as it holds fire ons pecial dividend" by Arash Massoudi says Wall st stocks were muted yesterday despite the sharpest single day sell off in Apple, the world's largest company by market value, in 4 years. Bank of America was up 5.7%.
NYT pB5 "Remarks by Obama help give markets a lift" by AP says stocks closed higher on Wed their first gain of the week as bank shares rose and comments by Obama made investors optiistic that a deal could be made to avoid the fiscal cliff.
IBD pB2 "NYSE, S&P 500 advance, but Apple, nasdaq slump" by Daivd Saito-Chung says the NYSE coposite led the market's upside Wed amid a torrent of economic data & new headlines on the fed budget impasse but Nasdaq & many leading stocks slumped.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,697.30 up 10.77 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,686.53. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.58 up 36 cents from Tuesday's average of $56.22. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.72 (DIS/UNH) up 28 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $51.44. The lowest volume was 3M 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 made $1,077 ($169,730 - $168,653).
Wednesday's MarketWatch 4:10 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. Stocks finished mostly higher on Wednesday as Wall Street applauded what appeared to be a softening of stances in talks to avert the fiscal cliff. "Stocks are encouraged by the idea there may be a deal, which is not a bad thing for Treasurys either," Kathy Jones, a fixed-income specialist at Charles Schwab, said of Treasury prices rising along with equities. The bond market would prefer it "if we don't have a fight over the debt ceiling that might rattle foreign investors," said Jones. Plus, "any credible plan to reduce the deficit would on the margin slow the economy down," which is also supportive of Treasury prices, she said. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.64% added 82.71 points, or 0.6%, to 13,034.49. The S&P 500 index SPX+0.16% rose 2.23 points, or 0.2%, to 1,409.28. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.77% fell 22.99 points, or 0.8%, to 2,973.69, with the index hit as Apple Inc. AAPL-0.05% fell 6.4%
