3/20/13 Wed pm Dow Closes at 14,511.73 up 55.91 or 0.39%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,102  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 3/1/13 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 3/1/13.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14,511.73 up 55.91 or 0.39% from Tuesday's close of 14,455.82. Of the Dow components 23 gained, AT&T was unchanged and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM p $1.47 and percentage-wise was American Express up 1.32%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was  Caterpillar down $1.50 or 1.7%.

As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednedsay's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.90 unchanged from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.90 (year ago it was 14.74); today's opening P/E estimate is 12.97 unchanged from Tuesday' s P/E estimate of 12.97 (year ago it was 12.83) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.46 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.46 (last year it was 2.48). The Dow's all-time high was 14,539.14 on March 14, 2013. 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 1,889.66 up 7.28 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,882.38. 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 $62.99 up 14 cents from Tuesday's average of $62.75. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.90 (DIS/UNH) up 14 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $55.76. The lowest volume was 3M 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 $728 ($188,966 - $188,823).

3/20/13 Wednesday 4:11 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended higher Wednesday, with the S&P 500 SPX +0.67% snapping its first three-day losing run this year, after the Federal Reserve said its stimulus would continue. "The sequester as well as the elimination of the payroll-tax deduction, these factors are major fiscal drags on the economy, and the Fed is working with that in mind," said David Allon, a senior financial professional at FirsTrust Financial Resources LLC. After reaching an intraday record high during the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.39% added 55.91 points, or 0.4%, to 14,511.73. The S&P 500 index climbed 10.37 points, or 0.7%, to 1,558.71, leaving it 6.39 points from its record finish. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.78% advanced 25.09 points, or 0.8%, to 3,254.18.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog:

A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 14,455.82 down 3.76 or 0.03% from Monday's close of 14,452.06. For the year the Dow is up 10.31%. Of the Dow components 17 gained and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Procter & Gamble up $1.00 and percentage-wise was Coca-Cola up 1.52%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down $1.23 or 1.52%.

WSJ pC5 "Blue chips swing to a Cypriot tune" by Alexandra Scaggs, Matt jarzemsky says the Dow ended modestly higher as news out of Europe whipsawed stocks amid worries about the Cyprus bank bailout.

FT p20 "S&P 500 loses grip on all time high as European fears spread" by Anora Mahmudova says Wall st reversed early gains & closed mainly lower as fears over Cyprus overshadowed positive US housing data which showed home construction up in Feb.

NYT pB10 "Little change at close despite Cyprus situation" by AP says the stocks market changed little Tues as Cyprus worried investors.

IBD pB4 "Most indexes drop, erase moreof their recent gains" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks took anotehr step back Tues erasing some recent gains as troubled Cyprus showed no signs of fixing its problems. Tuesday's action saw most indexes fall as trade rises and the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,882.38 up 0.49 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,881.89. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $62.75 up 2 cents from Monday's average of $62.73. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.76 (DIS/UNH) down 13 cents from Monday's meddian closing price of $55.89. 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 $49 ($188,8238 - $188,189).

3/19/13 Tuesday 4:13 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks indexes finished mixed on Tuesday as Wall Street considered the ramifications of developments in Cyprus and the fate of a proposal to tax bank deposits to help fund a bailout of the island nation. "Unless there are knock-off effects, or contagion to other European counties, the declines in the U.S. stock market will be relatively limited," said Jim Russell, senior equity strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management. "Many are looking for a price break to get more involved in the stock market. There is a buy-the-dip mentality that may be in place," he added. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA +0.03% added 3.76 points to 14,455.82. Extending losses into a third day, its longest such streak since late December, the S&P 500 SPX -0.24% fell 3.76 points, or 0.2%, to 1,548.34. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.26% declined 8.5 points, or 0.3%, to 3,229.09.
