Post No. 2,034 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 Wednesday at 13,986.52 up 7.22 or 0.05% from Tuesday's close of 13,979.3. Of the Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was 3M up $1.21 or 1.19%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.88 and percentage-wise was Merck down 0.97%.
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 15.43 up from yesterday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.25 (year ago it was 14.40); today's opening P/E estimate is 12.54 unchanged from Tuesday' s opening P/E estimate of 12.54 (year ago it was 12.30) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.48 down from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.49). 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 1,821.27 up 0.94 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,820.33. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $60.71 up 3 cents from Tluesday's average of $60.68. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.97 (DIS/UNH) down 5 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $56.02. 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 $94 ($182,127 - $182,033).
MarketWatch Wednesday 2/6/13 3:45 by Wallace Witkowski & Polya Lesova says U.S. stocks rebounded from early losses Wednesday as investors began to book profits after recent run-ups.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.05% was nearly flat 13,975 in recent activity, with 16 out of 30 components gaining, after being down as much as 66 points and up as much as 13 points higher earlier. Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister, may be down in the polls but remains the best-known face of Italian politics. Much of the indecision in the market reflects investor sentiment with a lack of commitment being prevalent, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. “A lot of people are looking at this market and saying, ‘We’re up 6% in one month,’ and they’ve seen no pause since December,” Pavlik said. “People are a little on edge.”
On the Dow, 3M Co.MMM +1.18% shares led the index rising 1.2%, while shares of Walt Disney Co. DIS +0.42% rose less than 1% following the media conglomerate’s earnings late Tuesday.
Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ +0.48% were nearly flat after being up more than 1% earlier after a media report said Tuesday that H-P’s board is studying a breakup of the technology company.“It’s kind of a flat day, not much out of Washington or Europe; it’s still an earnings-driven story,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. “Based on investor reaction to consumer stocks, the consumer isn’t doing all that bad.” Consumer-discretionary stocks were one of the few sectors showing gains Wednesday, with some of the best performers getting a lift off their recent earnings reports. Ralph Lauren Corp. l RL +5.89% was one of the best-performing stock on the S&P 500, with shares up nearly 7% after the apparel retailer’s quarterly earnings beat Wall Street expectations.
Also, shares of Wyndham Worldwide Corp.WYN +6.78% were up nearly 7% after the hotel operator showed a 45% improvement in profit for the fourth quarter. Time Warner Inc. TWX +4.10% shares gained 4% after the media giant reported a surge in fourth-quarter earnings, and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. CMG +5.72% shares rose more than 5% after the company’s earnings late Tuesday.
Also, shares of First Solar Inc. FSLR +7.27% rose nearly 7% after Citigroup initiated coverage on the company Wednesday with a Buy rating. On the other hand, GameStop Corp. GME -6.01% shares slumped nearly 7%, as one of the worst performers on the S&P 500.
The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.05% fell 1.4 points, or 0.1%, at 1,510. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.10% declined 8 points, or 0.3%, at 3,164. Earlier in the session, a drop in the euro and European stocks was attributed to mixed polls out of Italy concerning Berlusconi’s popularity weeks before Italian elections.While some polls noted a Berlusconi comeback, which would cause concern among investors as it would likely jeopardize recent Italian reforms, other polls came out to throw cold water on that notion. While that may have pressured the euro, using that excuse for a weight on stocks is “kind of ridiculous,” said Pavlik. “It’s just looking for an excuse,” Pavlik said. “It’s a lack of commitment [from investors].”

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 & 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.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: 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. For the year the Dow is up 6.86%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM down $1.10 or 0.54%.
WSJ pC4 "Dow does new dance with 14000" by Matt Jarzemsky says tech shares led US stocks higher reversing much of a day earlier slide as investors kept an eye on corp earnings & steady economic readings in the US & Europe.
NYT pB2 "Market rebounds on stream of strong earnings reports" by AP says the stock market's rebound Tues was due to strong earnings reports and the easing of concerns re: Europe's debt crisis.
FT p22 "Dell buyout deal sends a spark through info technology" by Arash Massoudi says US stocks returned to recent strong form surging higher & reocering from a sharp sell off a day earlier as investors were encouraged by signs of a pick up in mergers & acquisitions. Hewlett-Packard gained 2.7% as it questioned the wisdom of the Dell deal as Microsoft, which is part of the investment consortium, was 0.2% higher. Disney shares were falt in the after market as its latest quarterly earnings beat analysts' forecasts by 3 cents.
AJC pA11 "Quick rebound from sell off" by AP says stocks rebounded Tues. A report showed the housing recovery remained on track and strong company earnings pushed the market higher.
IBD pB4 "market shows resilience, rebounds as trade rises" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks bounced back Tues after enduring their worst losses since the Nov. 23 follow through as Tuesday's action saw a solid rally as trade rises & the current outlook remains a confirmed uptrend. Disney was one of the stocks that traded higher due to quarterly reports.
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.
