Post No. 2,067 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 Wednesday at 14,075.37 up 175.24 or 1.26% from Tuesday's close of 13,900.13. Of the Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar up $2.24 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan up 3.53%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's down 54 cents or 0.57%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.39 up from yesterday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.30 (year ago it was 14.55); today's opening P/E estimate is 12.54 unchanged from Tuesday' s opening P/E estimate of 12.54 (year ago it was 12.45) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.54 down from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.60 (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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,832.84 up 22.82 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,810.02. 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 change for today by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the change 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $61.09 up 76 cents from Tuesday's average of $60.33. The median closing price of Wednsday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.17 (DIS/UNH) up 70 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $53.47. 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 made $2,282 ($183,284 - $181,002).
2/27/13 Wednesday 4:12 pm MarketWatch by Laura Mandaro says US stocks surged for a second day as another positive reading on the housing market and
comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke helped two major indexes
have their best day since Jan. 2, the first trading day of the year. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average DJIA

advanced 175.24 points, or 1.3%, to 14,075.37. Of its 30
components, only Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ

lower. It was the second day of triple-digit gains for the Dow, also a first
since the start of the year, and brought the blue chips closer to their 2007
record. The S&P 500 SPX
+1.27% added
19.05 points, or 1.3%, to 1,515.99, with all 10 sectors higher. The Nasdasq
Composite COMP
+1.04% gained
32.61 points, or 1%, to 3,162.26.

If Tuesday 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 $1,510 ($181,002 - $179,492).
2/26/13 Tuesday 4:38 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says US stocks rose Tuesday, recouping much of the prior day’s slide, as evidence of a solid finish for housing in 2012 and after Ben Bernanke defended the Fed’s monetary policy.Home Depot Inc. HD+5.69% shares rallied after the retailer raised its dividend and approved a $17 billion stock buyback. “The market is bouncing back after yesterday’s big decline; the other part of it is we get a bit of a bounce from Bernanke’s comments along the lines of continued QE [quantitative easing],” Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners in Chicago, said of the Federal Reserve chairman’s testimony on Capitol Hill.
U.S. home prices improved in December, reversing declines in November. Meanwhile, new-home sales soared 15.6% in January.After losing 216.40 points in Monday’s session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.84% on Tuesday tallied its second triple-digit rise in three sessions, adding 115.96 points, or 0.8%, to 13,900.13.“We’ll take it as a plus, certainly from the real-estate side, and also what we heard from some of the retailers,” said Nolte of economic reports and quarterly results from Home Depot Inc. HD+5.69% and Macy’s Inc. M+2.78%.Twenty-three of the Dow’s 30 components were in the green, led by shares of Home Depot after the home-improvement retailer beat profit expectations.Fed chief signals he is a strong supporter of the Fed’s $85 billion-per-month bond-buying program. He also urges Congress to defuse the sequester.The S&P 500 index SPX+0.61% climbed 9.09 points, or 0.6%, to 1,496.94, with materials and consumer discretionary leading gains that included all 10 of its major sectors.The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.43% gained 13.40 points, or 0.4%, at 3,129.64, with shares of Apple Inc. AAPL+1.39% up 1.4%. For every stock that fell, roughly two rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 772 million shares traded.On the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures GCJ3+1.73% rose $28.90, or 1.8%, to settle at $1,615.50 an ounce, while crude-oil futures CLJ3-0.49% shed 48 cents, or 0.5%, to $92.63 a barrel.Stocks had erased most of their gains as Bernanke took questions from lawmakers, with the Fed chief warning automatic federal budget reductions slated to start Friday would impose a “significant” burden on the U.S. economy if politicians are unable to reach a deal to avoid the cuts.Bernanke’s prepared testimony on Capitol Hill had him reiterating his view that the benefits of the central bank’s easing policy outweigh any costs.Economic reports showed the value of U.S. homes rising in the final month of last year. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported home prices rose 0.6% and the S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index climbed 0.2% in December. Commerce Department figures showed new-home sales rising 15.6% last month to an annual rate of 437,000, the highest mark since July 2008. And, the Conference Board said its index of consumer confidence climbed to 69.6 this month, exceeding estimates of 62.3, with the data suggesting that “consumers are weathering the recent storm of higher payroll taxes and rising gas prices reasonably well,” said Jim Baird, chief investment strategist for Plante Moran Financial Advisors.“Since most people have their wealth tied up in their home, rising home prices make consumers more confident, more creditworthy and more willing to spend acquired income,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC, noted in an email.“Ultimately that has important effects on economic output, one reason that home-price fluctuations are watched so closely,” Greenhaus added.Benchmark stock indexes sank Monday as national elections in Italy yielded uncertain results, with the CBOE Volatility Index jumping 34% in a display of investor uncertainty.The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.43% gained 13.40 points, or 0.4%, at 3,129.64, with shares of Apple Inc. AAPL+1.39% up 1.4%.
