4/10/13 Wed pm Dow Closes at 14,802.24 up 128.78 or 0.88%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,135  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 April 1, 2013 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of April 1, 2013.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14,802.24 up 128.78 or  0.88% from Tuesday's close of 14,673.46. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $2.78 and percentage-wise was Merck up 2.92%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down 75 cents or 0.96%.

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 trailing P/E ratio is 16.08 up from yesterday's P/E ratio of 16.02 (year ago it was 14.45); today's P/E estimate is 13.05 unchanged from Tuesday' s P/E estimate of 13.05 (year ago it was 12.55) and today's dividend yield is 2.43 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.39 (last year it was 2.58). The Dow's all-time high was 14,802.24 on April 10, 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 1,927.49 up 16.77  from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,910.72. 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 $64.25 up 56 cents from Tuesday's average of $63.69. The median closing price of   Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $61.26 (DIS/UNH) up 60 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $60.66. 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 $1,677 ($192,749 - $191,072).

4/10/13 Wednesday 4:02 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday rose for a third straight day, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 index having their best session in six weeks. Minutes from the Federal Reserve's March meeting had several Fed officials saying the central bank should taper its bond purchases later in the year and halt it altogether by year end if the labor market improves. "We care about liquidity and momentum," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago. "There are people tip-toeing out of bonds into stocks in search of yield and incremental growth, and that's why the leading sectors this year are offensive," said Ablin, pointing to health care as an example. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.88% rose 128.78 points to 14,802.24. The S&P 500 index SPX +1.22% climbed 19.12 points to 1,587.73. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.83% added 59.40 points to 3,297.25.

A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $7.68 change in the Dow Index.

4/9/13 Tuesday 4:2 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stock indexes rose on Tuesday, lifting the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record high, as Wall Street embraced the start of first-quarter earnings.“The fundamentals are too good to put a ceiling on the market. During the fourth quarter, companies gave very, very muted outlooks on the first quarter, so earnings might be mildly surprising on the upside,” said Margie Patel, senior portfolio manager at Wells Capital Management.After climbing 102.98 points to an all-time intraday high of 14,716.46, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.41% finished at a record closing high of 14,673.46, up 59.98 points.Microsoft Corp. MSFT+3.57% and Intel Corp. INTC+3.13% paced gains that included 20 of the blue-chip index’s 30 members.Alcoa Inc.

Read more about how Alcoa earnings could boost the market.After advancing to within a few points of its intraday record of 1,576.09, set on Oct. 11, 2007, the S&P 500 index SPX+0.35% rose 5.54 points to 1,568.61, leaving it just below its 1,570.25 record finish set April 2.Sector gains were led by natural-resource companies, which drew support from Chinese inflation that slowed more than had been expected. Defensive sectors, which performed the best in the first quarter, were the session’s weaker performers. Amid allegations of insider trading, KPMG resigned on Tuesday as auditor at Herbalife Ltd. HLF-3.75% and Skechers USA Inc. SKX+1.86% .Shares of both companies were halted for a period during the session.

J.C. Penney Co. Inc. JCP-12.22% plummeted as analysts deemed Myron Ullman’s return to the helm of the struggling retailer as not necessarily a fix for the struggling retailer. The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.48% climbed 15.61 points to 3,237.85.For every three stocks falling more than four rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 670 shares traded.Composite volume surpassed 3.2 billion.The dollar DXY-0.37% fell against other global currencies, including the yen USDJPY+0.12% and the euro EURUSD-0.02% .Longer-term Treasury prices held steady or fell, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR-0.17% used to determine the rate of mortgages and other consumer loans at 1.749%.“Investors would love to see higher interest rates; I just don’t see it,” said Wells Capital’s Patel, who adds the relatively muted price of commodities will keep inflation low.On the New York Mercantile Exchange, the price of oil CLK3-0.22% rose 84 cents to $94.20 a barrel, while gold futures for April delivery GCJ3+0.78% gained $14.20, or 0.9%, to end at $1,586.20 an ounce.On Monday, U.S. stocks finished modestly higher as investors again viewed a market dip as a buying opportunity.
