Post No. 2,026 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 2/1/13 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 2/1/13.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 14,009.79 up 149.21 or 1.07% from Thursday's close of 13,860.58. For the week the Dow was up 113.81 or 0.80% from last Friday's close of 13,895.98. Of the Dow components 22 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies up $2.27 and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 3.45%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck down $1.42 or 3.28%.
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 opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.29 unchanged from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.29 (year ago it was 14.00); today's P/E estimate is 12.28 unchanged from Thursday' s P/E estimate of 12.28 (year ago it was 12.15) and today's dividend yield is 2.53 up from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.52). 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 1,824.30 up 19.43 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,804.87. 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 Monday by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the increase in Friday'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 $60.81 up 65 cents from Thursday's average of $60.16. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.18 (DIS/UNH) up 59 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $54.59. 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 $1,943( $82,430-$180,487).
MarketWatch
Friday 2/1/13 2:09 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Friday started a new month with strong gains,
pushing the Dow industrials moved above 14,000, after the January jobs
report supported the view of a recovery still on track.“We’re back to a level we haven’t been at since 2007, the Dow hitting
14,000 is just like the S&P 500 hitting 1,500 again,” said Darrell
Cronk, regional chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank.“The primary driver is not the 157,000 new jobs, but the positive
revisions to the months of November and December,” Cronk said, referring
to the nonfarm payrolls report.Yes, says Cody Willard, who makes the case for buying into Facebook shares.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+1.08%
was lately up 143.34 points, or 1%, to 14,003.92, crossing the 14,000 level for the first time since October 2007.The S&P 500 index
SPX
+1.01%
gained 15.51 points, or 1%, to 1,513.62, with telecommunications leading the gains among its 10 major industry groups.The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+1.18%
added 38.83 points, or 1.2%, to 3,1810.92.For every stock falling nearly four rose on the New York Stock Exchange,
where almost 415 million shares traded as of 1:55 p.m. Eastern.
Composite volume surpassed 2.5 billion. Ahead of Friday’s open, stock-index futures had added to gains after the
government reported the U.S. economy created a smaller-than-expected
157,000 jobs in January but added more the prior two months than
initially thought. The January unemployment rate edged up 0.1% to stand
at 7.9%.
The University of Michigan-Thomson Reuters index of consumer sentiment
for January climbed to 73.8 from 72.9 at the end of the previous month. There was a raft of other economic data, both in the U.S. and overseas,
for investors to pick through. Data from the euro zone showed the
manufacturing sector continued to shrink in January, but at the slowest
pace in 11 months.A similar measure of U.S. manufacturing reached the highest level since April.
