Post No. 2,059 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 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 14,000.57 up 119.95 or 0.86% from Thursday's close of 13,880.62. For the week the Dow is up 118.81 0.85% from last Friday's close of 13,881.76. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 41 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up $2.10 or 12.28%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth down 77 cents or 1.39%.
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 15.16 down from Thursday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.29 (year ago it was 14.53); today's opening P/E estimate is 12.50 unchanged from Thursday' s opening P/E estimate of 12.50 (year ago it was 12.35) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.54 up from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.53 (last year it was 2.50). 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 1,823.10 up 15.62 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,807.48. 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 $60.77 up 52 cents from Thursday's average of $60.25. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.36 (DIS/UNH) down 35 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $54.71. 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 $1,562 ($182,310 - $180,748).
MarketWatch Friday 2/22/13 2:39 by Kate Gibson & Polya Lesova says U.S. stocks rallied on Friday after better-than-expected results from personal-computer maker Hewlett-Packard Co. and an upbeat report on German business confidence. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.86% rose 95 points, or 0.7%, to 13,975.58 in afternoon trade, with H-P /HPQ +12.28% leading the gains a day after the company projected a second-quarter profit and reported quarterly revenue that topped estimates. Shares of H-P surged more than 14%, accelerating gains in afternoon trade. Wall Street also found support from a survey of German business executives showing sentiment in February rose to its highest reading since April. Recovering some of the losses sustained during the past two sessions—its worst two-day drop since early November—the Standard & Poor’s indexSPX +0.88% climbed 9.5 points, or 0.6%, to 1,512.04. Materials and technology led gainers among its 10 major industry groups. “The general advice is to watch for a shorter-term correction, but recognize we may not be there yet. This market may not be ready yet to give up the ghost,” said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank. McCain is among the market strategists who believe equities are in need of a pullback to digest recent gains, saying a return by the S&P 500 /SPX +0.88% to 1,400 or below would be reasonable, and which would allow the benchmark index to move on to yearly gains of 10% to 15%. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.97% gained 23 points, or 0.7%, to 3,153.79. Around 385 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange as of 2:50 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume exceeded 2.4 billion. The exchange-traded fundsDIA +0.94% SPY -0.09% QQQ +1.01% that track the benchmark indexes also gained. The underlying trend for equities in the U.S. and globally is anticipating what monetary authorities will be doing, according to McCain and other market strategists. “We’re back to reading Federal-Reserve tea leaves, trying to figure the amount of money they are going to pump in both here and overseas,” said McCain. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke brushed off talk the central bank’s ultra-easy monetary policy is creating asset bubbles, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing unnamed people who went to a meeting Bernanke held this month with dealers and investors. Bernanke’s reported comments to the 15-member Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee dismiss a key concern coming out of the minutes of the last Fed meeting, namely varying views that hinted “our Fed is going to ease up on its easing,” said McCain, who discounted such a move anytime this year. Bernanke will testify on monetary policy to Congress next week. Friday’s rise follows two straight days of declines that had the Dow industrials losing 155.05 points, or 1.1%, its biggest two-day drop since late December. The Dow is currently on track to finish the week unchanged, erasing weekly losses. For the week, the S&P 500 is off 0.5% and the Nasdaq has lost 1.2%. A weekly drop would halt the S&P 500’s winning streak at seven consecutive weeks, its longest such stretch since the one that ended Jan. 14, 2011.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times,, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & 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 Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 13,880.62 down 46.92 or 0.34% from Wednesday's close of 13,927.54. For the year the Dow is up 5.93%.

IBD pB2 "Stocks roughed up again but finish off day's lows" by Paul Whitfield says stocks skidded a 2nd straight day as volume jumped, pointing to cont'd inst'l selling. The current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,807.48 down 6.11 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,813.59. 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 decrease for today by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the decrease 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 $60.25 down 20 cents from Wednesday's average of $60.45. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.71 (DIS/UNH) down 34 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $55.05.

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 lost $611 ($181,359 - $180,748).
MarketWatch Thursday 2/21/13 4:39 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell Thursday, with the S&P 500 tallying its first two-day losing run this month, as a weak regional manufacturing index and uncertainty over U.S. monetary moves hit sentiment. “We’re facing sequestration, gas prices are higher and the payroll tax just went up, so people are starting to realize the impact on their paychecks,” said Schwab director of market and sector research Brad Sorensen. Jack Otter and Brendan Conway on why the price of gold has been falling, and what triggered the most recent selloff. The approach of the March 1 deadline for federal budget reductions, known as sequestration, also kept investors on shaky ground, with the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, or VIX VIX+3.68% , rising 9.5% following a 19% rise on Wednesday, its greatest leap since late 2011.
But Main Street and Wall Street are suffering from “government crisis fatigue — as we’ve been down this road so many times, so it’s another thing that goes into the mix,” said Sorensen.
After falling as much as 93 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.34% closed down 46.92 points, or 0.3%, to 13,880.62, with two thirds of its 30 components in the red. Moderating the drop, component Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ+2.40% rose 2.4% before reporting first-quarter results after the close.Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT+1.52% climbed 1.5% after the retailer reported a fourth-quarter profit that beat estimates and hiked its dividend.

The S&P 500 index SPX-0.63% retreated 9.53 points, or 0.6%, to 1,502.42, with information technology falling the most among its 10 major sectors. “The S&P 500 is coming up on first support at 1,495. On a clear break, our downside target is the 1,474 area. This is the home of the 50-day moving average and the January break,” noted Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus & Company. Verifone Systems Inc. PAY-42.80% fell nearly 43% after the manufacturer of credit-card terminals projected second-quarter profit below Wall Street estimates due to Europe’s soft economic climate. Safeway Inc. SWY+14.11% shares leapt 14% after the grocery-store chain reported a rise in fourth-quarter net income, with its chairman and chief executive telling a conference call there had been no noticeable impact from the payroll-tax cut that reduced paychecks for many. The Nasdaq Composite index COMP-1.04% declined 32.92 points, or 1%, to 3,131.49, leaving it down 0.3% for the month. For every stock rising more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 814 million shares traded. Composite volume exceeded 4.2 billion. Investors were looking for a reason to pause an advance that has the S&P 500 index currently up more than 5% for the year, said Schwab’s Sorensen. “Typically after the run we’ve seen I wouldn’t be surprised by a pullback in the 3% to 5% range. We probably needed a bit of a selloff to get some of the speculative money out of there,” he said. On Wednesday, stocks fell sharply after the release of minutes from the last Federal Open Market Committee meeting revealed talk of scaling back economic stimulus by varying the rate of Fed asset purchases. “There were a few Fed members that talked about the possibility of adjusting their asset purchases. And certainly there are some on the street that believe they should stop, or at least reduce them, and let the economy start running on its own. It’s encouraging they believe the economy is strong enough to handle that now,” Sorensen said.
Equity investors “might have been looking for an excuse to take profits,” said Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. “If it wasn’t the Fed minutes, it might have been something else,” he added.
While the market is likely in for near-term declines, stock prices should trend higher, given the Federal Reserve’s policy of monetary easing, said Schiff, who opposes the economic stimulus. “I don’t think stock prices are going to go up as fast as gas prices, for example,” Schiff said. In economic news, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s index fell to minus 12.5 in February from minus 5.8 the month before. Other economic reports had the index of U.S. leading indicators climbing for a second month in January, and the sale of previously owned homes up 0.4% in January.
The Labor Department reported jobless claims rose by 20,000 to 362,000 last week and that consumer prices were little changed last month, with a decline in energy costs helping to offset rising prices for goods and services.
