Post No. 1,937 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 13,155.13 up 81.09 or 0.62% from Thursday's close of 13,074.04. For the week the Dow is up 129.55 or 0.09% from last Friday's close of 13,025.58. Of the Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $2.25 and percentage-wise was J.P. Morgan 2.63%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 27 cents or 1.01%.
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 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.52 (year ago it was 12.98); Friday'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 2.65 up from Thurday's dividend yield of 2.64 (last year it was 2.6359). 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 1,713.01 up 10.56 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,702.45. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.10 up 35 cents from Thursday's average of $56.75. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.56 (DIS/UNH) up 20 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $51.36. The lowest volume was 3M 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 made $1,056 ($171,301 - $170,245).
Friday's 12/7/12 MarketWatch 4:24 pm by Wallace Witkowski says most U.S. stocks finished higher Friday as better-than-expected, but shaky, jobs numbers appeared to outweigh a drop in December consumer sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.62% rose 81.09 points, or 0.6%, to close at 13,155.13, for a gain of 1% for the week. The S&P 500 Index /SPX +0.29% finished up 4.13 points, or 0.3%, at 1,418.07, for a 0.1% gain for the week. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.38% , however, closed down 11.23 points, or 0.4%, to 2,978.04, for a weekly loss of 1.1%, weighed down by Apple Inc. AAPL -2.56% shares, which fell 2.6% for the day and 8.9% for the week.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.
A read of the print editions of Friday'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 Thursday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Average: 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. For the year the Dow is up 7.01.%. 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 %.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks get some tech assistance" by Alexandra Scaggs says a tech stock bounce pushed major indexes up as Intel led blue chips to a one month high.
Fin Times p24 "Apple rises as Mc production to be moved back to US from China" by Arash Massoudi says the US equity market was flat for most of the day before finishing near its highest point of the day. Exxon reversed early losses to finish 0.3% up. Akamai Tech rose as AT&T said it wold form a partnership with it.
NYT pB9 "Investors trade lightly ahead of jobs report" by Reuters says stocks rose Thurs a day ahead of the monthly jobs report as a rebound in Apple shares helped tech shares.
IBD pB2 "Stocks post gains quietly on eve of payroll report" by Paul Whitfield says stocks advanced in quiet volume Thurs on the eve of the monthly employment report as the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
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.
