Post No. 2,032 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 Tuesday at 13,979.3 up 99.22 or 0.71% from Monday's close of 13,880.08. Of the Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was UnitedHealth up $2.01 and percentage-wise was Bank of Ameica up 3.66%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM down $1.10 or 0.54%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.25 down from yesterday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.37 (year ago it was 14.15); today's opening P/E estimate is 12.54 unchanged from Monday' s opening P/E estimate of 12.54 (year ago it was 12.30) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.51 up from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.50 (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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,820.33 up from Monday's closing numerator of 1,807.41. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $60.68 up 43 cents from Monday's average of $60.25. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.02 (DIS/UNH) up $1.19 cents from Monday's median closing price of $54.83. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 $2,292 ($182,033 - $180,741).
MarketWatch Tuesday 2/5/13 4:01 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks bounced back Tuesday to recoup much of the prior day’s losses as investors found confidence in Dell Inc.’s deal to go private in the biggest leveraged buyout in years. Retrieving its position above the 14,000 level, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 122.64 points, or 0.9%, to 14,002.72. The S&P 500 Index climbed 17.87 points, or 1.2%, to 1,513.58, with technology performing best among its 10 industry groups.
The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 43.79 points, or 1.4%, to 3,174.94. For every stock that fell, roughly three advanced on the New York Stock Exchange, where 462 million shares traded as of 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume surpassed 2.8 billion.Elliot Spar, Stifel, Nicolaus & Co.
Dell Inc.’s shares rose 1.3% after the personal-computer maker agreed to be taken private in a deal valued at $24.4 billion. Share buybacks and leveraged buyouts are likely to increase as private-equity firms and corporations take advantage of the current phenomenon that has the S&P 500’s cash-flow yield more generous than the yield on junk-rated bonds, predicted Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank.“Dell’s desire to explore the possibility of taking the company private last December reignited the trend,” he said. He noted the widening gap between the valuation differential between stocks and bonds.Before the Dell disclosure, the company’s A-rated intermediate-term bonds were trading at a 2.7% yield while its cash-flow yield — free cash flow divided by the share price — was nearly 17%, “making an easy argument for the firm to consider buying some of its own shares,” noted Ablin.Also on the deal front, Virgin Media Inc. jumped 18% after the U.K. pay-television provider said it was in talks with Liberty Global Inc. about “a possible transaction.”
The S&P 500 has risen 6% this year as politicians managed to reach a budget agreement and as American corporations reported better-than-anticipated fourth-quarter results. That rise, as well as a recent influx of retail investors into stock mutual funds, has fostered a debate about whether the rally is getting long in the tooth — or alternatively, laying the groundwork for a longer rise. In the bull camp. Jim O’Neill, the soon-to-retire chair of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, told CNBC Tuesday that the momentum for U.S. equities for the remainder of the year is a favorable one. See CNBC video of what Goldman’s O’Neill had to say. Earnings reports were the trigger for some of the day’s biggest stock moves.Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. gained 3.6% after reporting quarterly profit that beat forecasts. Kellogg Co. shares rose 1% after the cereal maker reported less of a quarterly loss. Computer Sciences Corp. jumped 10% after hiking its earnings outlook for the year. Yum Brands Inc. fell 3% after the owner of the Pizza Hut chain reduced its profit outlook. Of the 56% of companies that have reported fourth-quarter earnings, nearly 69% have beaten estimates, according to Thomson Reuters. Nearly 66% of those 278 companies reported revenue that topped forecasts.
Stocks found some support in the day’s economic data.The Institute for Supply Management’s services index fell to 55.2% in January from 55.7% in December. Any number above 50% signals expansion. When considered in combination with the better-than-expected manufacturing report last week, “one can’t help but feel that the private-sector economy is holding up fairly well despite the public sector’s best efforts to cause turbulence,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC, wrote in emailed comments.U.S. home prices climbed 0.4% in December to bring the year-on-year gain to 8.3%, the best advance since May 2006, CoreLogic reported Tuesday. Stocks fell hard Monday on worries about Europe’s handling of its debt crisis, with Spain’s Mariano Rajoy facing calls from opposition leaders that he step down.“Today’s rally is just as inexplicable as yesterday’s selloff,” Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., emailed in afternoon comments.

The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall. St. Journal, Investor's Business Daily, Financial Times, 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 Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 13,880.08 down 129.71 or 0.93% from Friday's close of 14,009.79. For the year the Dow is up 5.92%. Of the Dow components only Boeing gained and 29 declined. The only and biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up 34 cents or 0.45 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Travelers down $1.89 or 2.37%.
WSJ pC4 "Tech shares spoil Blue Chips' party" by Chris Dieterich, Matt Jarzemsky says the Dow posted its first triple digit drop this year, as weakness in tech stocks helped derail a 5 week rally for the blue chips.
NYT pB7 "Renewed concern about Europe lowers shares" by Reuters says stocks fell Mon as renewed worries about the euro zone crisis caused the market to pull back from recent gains.
IBD pB2 "Stocks log biggest losses since start of the uptrend" by Vincent Mao says stocks pulled back sharply Mon racking up their biggest losses so far fo the year. It was also the major indexes worst day since the nov. 23 follow through. Monday's action was down hard in lower trade. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,807.41 down 16.89 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,824.30. 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 Monday by the divisor (0.130216081) you get the decrease 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $60.25 down 56 cents from Friday's average of $60.81. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.83 (DIS/UNH) down 35 cents from Friday's median closing price of $55.18. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Monday 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 $1,689( $182,430 - $180,741).
MarketWatch
Monday 2/4/13 4:52 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell about 1%
Monday in their worst drop of the year, as uncertainty over Europe
rattled investors and pushed Spanish bond yields higher. Despite Spanish
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's vigorous denials over alleged secret
payments, the political-corruption scandal sweeping Spain is pushing
borrowing costs higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA-0.93% ended down 129.71 points, or 0.9%, at 13,880.08. On Friday, it had closed above 14,000 for the first time since October 2007. Only one out of the Dow average’s 30 components — Boeing Co. BA +0.45% — ended higher on Monday. While Europe emerging again as an issue for global markets, including Wall Street, analysts for weeks have been saying that a correction or even a pullback of 3% to 5% would be welcome. January’s more than 5% advance, which pushed equities to five-year highs, is seen as an unsustainable trend, and a retreat would draw in sidelined money. Elliott Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., put it this way: “The book of excuses has been opened wide this morning in trying to explain this selloff. It goes from European political issues, higher rates on European peripheral debt to the Ravens winning the Super Bowl. How about this: The market was long overdue for a pullback, and buying every dip was just making it too easy for everyone to make a fast buck.” The S&P 500 Index SPX-1.15% ended down 17.46 points, or 1.2%, at 1,495.71. On Friday it had closed at its highest since December 2007. On Monday, all 10 S&P 500 industry groups were in the red, led by losses in tech and financial stocks. McGraw-Hill Cos.MHP-13.78% and Moody’s Corp. MCO-10.66% were the worst performers, off more than 10% each, after Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services said the Justice Department was planning to file civil charges for its role in rating certain mortgage-bond securities in 2007. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP-1.51% shed 47.93 points, or 1.5%, at 3,131.17.
For every share that rose, nearly four fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 693 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.3 billion. “We had a heck of a run, but you can see the spillover from Europe today, and we’re back to the same old story, with Italian and Spanish yields in particular spooking European markets,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group. In Spain, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is mired in a corruption scandal amid calls for his resignation from the opposition Socialist Party. Yields on Spain’s 10-year government notes surged to above 5%. Reforms implemented in Italy are viewed as at risk by the increasing popularity of Silvio Berlusconi, with the former prime minister a contender in general elections slated for later in the month. Stocks held sharp losses after the Commerce Department reported factory orders rose a less-than-forecast 1.8% in December, illustrating a decline in nondurable goods that overcame advances in computers and construction equipment. Herbalife Ltd. HLF+1.34% ended up 1.3% after falling as much as 12%. The supplement distributor said in a statement that it was demanding a correction from the New York Post after the newspaper reported the Federal Trade Commission was investigating it. Late last year, hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman said he was betting against the stock, calling Herbalife a pyramid scheme. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT-1.22% shares fell 1.2% after J.P. Morgan Chase downgraded the discount retailer to neutral from overweight.Chevron Corp. CVX-1.12% shed 1.1% after UBS AG downgraded the oil producer to neutral from buy. Merck & Co. MRK-2.34% declined 2.3% after Morgan Stanley cut the pharmaceutical firm to underweight from equal weight. Oracle Corp.ORCL-2.97% slid 3% after the business-software maker said it would buy Acme Packet Inc. APKT+23.65% for $1.7 billion. Acme Packet shares jumped 24%.
