Post No. 1,995 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 1/1/13 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 1/1/13.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 13,488.43 up 17.2 or 1.3% from Thursday's close of 13,471.22. For the week the Dow is up 17.21 or 0.13% from last Friday's close of 13,425.21. Of the Dow components 18 gained and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.57 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 1.4%. The biggest decliners dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing down $1.93 or 2.5%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.92 up from yesterday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 14.83 (year ago it was 13.49); today's P/E estimate is 12.22 unchanged from Thursday' s opening P/E estimate of 12.22 (year ago it was 11.92) and today's dividend yield is 2.61 down from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.63 (last year it was 2.57). 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 1,756.41 up 2.24 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,754.17. 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 $58.55 up 7 cents from Thursday's average of $58.47. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.70 (DIS/UNH) down 25 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $51.95. 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 made $224 ($175,650 - $175,417).
Friday 1/11/13 MarketWatch 4:40 pm by Polya Lesova says With the S&P 500 near a five-year high and data showing whopping inflows
into stock funds at the beginning of the year, the cult of equity may not be
quite dead yet, after all. In a relatively quiet trading day, Wall Street was abuzz on Friday,
discussing the latest fund flow data from Lipper. Equity funds, including exchange-traded funds, took in $18.3 billion for the
week ended Jan. 9, the fourth largest net inflows since Lipper began calculating
weekly flows in January 1992. Some $10.8 billion poured into equity ETFs, while
mutual funds took in more than $7.5 billion, their largest inflow since the week
ended May 2, 2001.
In the retail sector, Best Buy Co. BBY +16.38% shares rallied more than 16%, making them the top gainer in the S&P 500 after the electronics retailer reported better-than-expected holiday sales.
Earnings season gets underway next week and a raft of U.S. economic data will
be released. Plus, how you can tweet at Ben Bernanke. The data are not entirely surprising given that the stock market rallied
after Congress managed to cobble together a last-minute budget deal to avert the
fiscal cliff. But the trend was enough to get observers wondering if investors
were finally ready to stop sulking over the last bear market, and get back into
equities. Is this the “start of the great rotation?” wrote Matt Phillips at QZ.com. On Friday, investors largely retreated to the sidelines. The S&P 500
SPX
-0.0048%
closed virtually unchanged at 1,472.05 compared to 1,472.12
in the previous session, which marked a five-year closing high. The benchmark rose 0.4% for the week and is up 3.2% so far this year. “We have just come off a nice first couple of weeks of the year where we
rallied pretty significantly,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist
at TD Ameritrade in Chicago. “I suspect there is some profit-taking today.” A recent rise in bullish sentiment, warned Bank of America Merrill Lynch
strategists this week, could trigger a market meltdown by June. More than 632 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Composite
volume topped 3.3 billion. Investors were also preoccupied with earnings on Friday. Wells Fargo &
Co. WFC
-0.85% , the
first major U.S. bank to release results, reported fourth-quarter earnings and
revenue that topped analyst expectations. But the bank’s net interest margin
declined to 3.56% compared to 3.89% a year ago and from 3.66% in the third
quarter. Shares of Wells Fargo fell 0.9%. Other major banks also declined, with Bank
of America Corp. BAC
-1.27% down
1.3% and Citigroup Inc. C -1.14% down 1.1%.
Also in the financial sector, shares of American Express Co. AXP
+0.74%
gained 0.7% after the firm late Thursday outlined plans to
eliminate 5,400 jobs. It was one of the gainers in the Dow Jones Industrial
Average DJIA
+0.13% ,
which rose 17.21 points, or 0.1%, to end at 13,488.43. The Dow gained 0.4% for
the week. Boeing Co. BA -2.50% was the
biggest decliner in the Dow, with its shares down 2.5%. The Federal Aviation
Administration announced a review of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner jet following
several recent incidents involving the plane. Boeing welcomed the review and
said it is “confident in the design and performance of the 787.” Chevron Corp. CVX
+1.14%
gained 1.1% after the oil company said it expects its
fourth-quarter profit to rise due to higher production. The earnings season will kick into high gear next week with a number of
blue-chip companies expected to report results including industrial conglomerate
General Electric Co. /GE -0.19% , chip maker
Intel Corp. INTC
+0.92% ,
managed-care provider UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH
-0.55% and
banking group J.P. Morgan Chase & Co JPM
-0.02% . “Companies are in a little bit of a difficult situation, because the
[earnings] expectations have been lowered fairly significantly,” said TD
Ameritrade’s Kinahan. “They are at a pressure point where they have to beat. But
everyone is more focused on the conference calls. The market is looking for CEOs
to say that the picture has brightened.” Have something you're desperate to say to Mark Zuckerberg? You can do it but
it will cost $100. Investors on Friday largely ignored U.S. economic data, which showed the
trade deficit widened nearly 16% in November and import prices declined 0.1% in
December. The economic calendar next week will feature a raft of releases
including housing starts, retail sales, consumer confidence, consumer prices,
the Empire State manufacturing index as well as the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book
of regional economic conditions. Wall Street will also hear from several Fed speakers next week; most notable
will be Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is due to speak about the economy and
monetary policy at the University of Michigan on Monday afternoon. He will take
questions from the audience and Twitter; you can join the conversation online
using #fordschoolbernanke. Bernanke’s remarks will come after minutes from the Fed’s December meeting
showed that several officials believe bond purchases should conclude before the
end of the year. The Fed has been buying bonds in an effort to stimulate
economic growth and lower unemployment. Elsewhere on Wall Street, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index COMP
+0.12% rose
3.88 points, or 0.1%, to 3,125.63; for the week, it gained 0.8%. Shares of iPhone maker Apple Inc. AAPL
-0.61% fell
0.6%. Shares of social-networking site Facebook Inc. FB +1.34% rose 1.3%
after J.P. Morgan selected the stock as its top big-cap Internet pick. J.P. Morgan's top Internet stock pick. In the retail sector, Best Buy Co. BBY +16.38% shares rallied more than 16%, making them the top gainer in the S&P 500 after the electronics retailer reported better-than-expected holiday sales.

AJC pA13 "Five year high for S&P" says US stock indexes rose thurs pushing the S&P to its highest close in 5 years due to reports that the outlook for global economic growth may be improving.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,754.17 up 10.51 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,743.66. 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 $58.47 up 35 cents from Wednesday's average of $58.12. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.95 (DIS/UNH) up 17 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $51.58. 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 made $1,051 ($175,417 - $174,360).
Thursday 1/10/13 MarketWatch 4:28 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Thursday, lifting the S&P 500 to a five-year closing high, after data from China bolstered the view of an improving global economy. “Chinese growth is accelerating and the market over the last day or so seems to have taken on a more positive tone as it relates to earnings,” said Mark Luschini, chief market strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. December exports data from China beat expectations, while European Central Bank President Mario Draghi projected that the euro zone’s economy would bounce back later this year. “In Europe the recession is not worsening, Chinese growth is accelerating and in the U.S., the worst of the fiscal cliff is behind us. The impact of tax cuts is less than what the CBO initially scored, which has the potential to lift confidence and as a result business spending,” said Luschini. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.60% gained 80.71 points, or 0.6%, to 13,471.22. Bank of America Corp. BAC+0.09% led blue-chip gains, which included 25 of the Dow’s 30 components. Banks and other financial companies have drawn support this week as the government’s consumer finance watchdog on Thursday unveiled mortgage rules that will make banks use new standards to determine if a borrower has the ability to repay a mortgage. And several large home-loan providers earlier in the week came to an accord with regulators to close a review of foreclosures ordered by the government. Five days after closing at its highest level since December 2007, the S&P 500 cleared its five-year closing high of 1,466.47. The S&P 500SPX+0.76% added 11.10 points, or 0.8%, to 1,472.12, with financials leading sector gains among its 10 major industry groups. Microsoft Corp. MSFT+0.38% fell 0.9% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the globe’s biggest software manufacturer to equalweight from underweight. Tiffany & Co.TIF-4.52%reported holiday-season sales that hinted the luxury retailer’s rapid growth of recent years was languishing in the United States, Europe and Japan. The company projected annual earnings at the low end of its prior guidance. Shares of Tiffany shed 4.5%. “Especially with earnings season beginning, we’re much more focused on stock-specific reports,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. After falling into the red, the Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.51%recouped to end at 3,121.76, up 15.95 points, or 0.5%. Shares of Apple Inc. AAPL+1.24% rose 1.2%. The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple CEO Tim Cook recently met with the chairman of China Mobile, triggering speculation that the mobile carrier may soon be offering the iPhone. For every stock falling nearly two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 727 million shares traded. Composite volume exceeded 4 billion. “The jobs data was benign, and the wholesale data nobody cares about,” said Greenhaus of U.S. economic reports, which had inventories at U.S. wholesalers up 0.6% in November and new applications for jobless benefits rising slightly last week. However, the level of jobless claims revealed little change over the past few months and was consistent with a modestly improving U.S. labor market.
