Post No. 2,022 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 Wednuesday at 13,910.42 down 44 or 0.32% from Tuesday's close of 13,954.42. Of the Dow components 8 gained and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up 94 cents or 1.28%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was ExxonMobil down $1.09 or 1.2%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.34 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.38 (year ago it was 13.99); Wednesday's P/E estimate was 12.28 unchanged from Tuesday' s P/E estimate of 12.28 (year ago it was 12.15) and Wednesday's dividend yield was 2.50 down from Tuesday's opening dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.54). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,811.36 down 5.73 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,817.09. 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 dencrease for Monday by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the decrease in Moniday'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 $60.38 down 19 cents from Tuesday's average of $60.57. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.94 (DIS/UNH) down 20 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $55.14. The lowest volume was Travelers 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 lost $573 ($181,709 - $181,136).
MarketWatch Wednesday 1/30/13 4:30 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stock dropped on Wednesday, retreating from five-year highs after the Federal Reserve said growth in economic activity paused in recent months, and as fourth-quarter data showed a surprise contraction in gross domestic product.
The Federal Open Market Committee kept interest rates near zero and maintained its aggressive bond-buying program. Central bankers noted weak growth in the final three months of last year, saying that pause in activity was due to weather and other transitory factors. Many had expected the FOMC to upgrade its assessment of the economy, yet the Fed “did not sound any more optimistic about the economic backdrop,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. Jim Russell, senior equity strategist and regional investment director at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said the central bank could have given “a nod to the slight improvement in the labor market nationwide.”
“A lot of the market’s rise is due to global central banks being more accommodative,” added Russell, who also noted the FOMC has four new members, collectively viewed as “slightly more hawkish” — a reference to those more concerned with curbing inflation than keeping interest rates down.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 44 points, or 0.3%, at 13,910.42, with General Electric Co. and Exxon Mobil Corp. both falling 1.2% and leading decliners in the blue-chip index. The Dow has gained 6.2% for the month to date, putting it on track for its best January in 24 years.
Boeing Co. was among blue-chip gainers Wednesday after the aircraft maker reported quarterly earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street’s estimates. The S&P 500 Index dropped 5.88 points, or 0.4%, at 1,501.96, with the industrial sector the worst performer and utilities the best of its 10 major industry groups. U.S.-listed shares of BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. fell 12% after the Canadian company unveiled two new smartphones and said it would change its name to BlackBerry. See: BlackBerry 10 event fuels reversal in RIM shares. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 11.35 points, or 0.4%, at 3,142.31, finding some support by a nearly 5% rise in shares of Amazon.com Inc. a day after the online retailer reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter profit margins.
Social-networking company Facebook Inc. climbed 1.5% ahead of its quarterly earnings report, expected after Wednesday’s close. More than 700 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Composite volume exceeded 3.7 billion. Data on Wednesday showed the U.S. economy contracted in the final quarter of 2012, but payroll growth in January was better than anticipated.
“That’s probably the most favorable contraction in GDP that you could have hoped for,” said Russell at U.S. Bank of the 0.1% annual rate decline in gross domestic product, which largely was due to a sharp drop in military spending and a smaller gain in stockpiles. The Commerce Department reported fourth-quarter gross domestic product dropped at a 0.1% annual rate, the worst performance since the second quarter of 2009, when the economy remained in recession. A separate report from a payrolls processor said private companies added 192,000 workers in January, with the better-than-expected rise coming ahead of Friday’s nonfarm-payrolls report for January. Treasury prices were mixed, with the benchmark 10-year yield holding steady at 2%. The U.S. dollar fell against other global currencies, including the euro .

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Wednesday'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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.03 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 3.17%.
WSJ pC4 "Energy sector juices stocks" by Matt Jarzemsky, Kaitlyn Kiernan says energy shares powered stocks as better thane xpected earnings from Valero Energy outweighed sluggish consumer confidence data.

IBD pB4 "Indexes mostly move up, but some leaders tumble" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks mostly rose and closed near their session highs Tues but a few leading names fell hard. Tuesday's action was mostly up as trade increases. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.14 (DIS/UNH) up 4 cents from Monday's median closing price of $55.09.

MarketWatch Tuesday 1/29/13 4:33 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks mostly advanced Tuesday as oil prices rose to
four-month highs, lifting the energy sector and offsetting disappointing
forecasts from technology and other companies.“It’s kind of a mixed bag, from a narrow perspective, you have the Dow
up — it touched a five-year high — and a couple of stocks in our
portfolio are doing well,” said Matthew Kaufler, portfolio manager at
Federated Investors, citing Pfizer Inc.

Amazon.com Inc.’s

shares fell 5.7% ahead of the online retailer’s quarterly results,
which were released after Tuesday’s close. “There has been a heightened
level of uncertainty that has plagued the
country, both businesses and consumers, since the financial crisis. One
reason businesses are generating so much cash is they don’t have the
confidence to make investments. And in the case of housing, we’re coming
off of historic lows, so it’s an improved environment, but far from
what I would consider normal,” said Kaufler at Federated Investors.For
every two shares declining roughly three rose on the New York Stock
Exchange where 721 million shares traded. Composite volume surpassed 3.9
