4/11/13 Thurs. pm Dow Closes at 14,865.14 up 62.19 or 0.42%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,137  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 Thursday at 14,865.14 up 62.19 or  0.42% from Wednesday's close of 14,802.24. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was  Chevron up $1.31 and percentage-wise was Pfizer up 2.21%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down $1.42 or 6.34%.

As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.21 up from yesterday's P/E ratio of 16.08 (year ago it was 14.27); today's P/E estimate is 13.05 unchanged from Wednesday' s P/E estimate of 13.05 (year ago it was 12.55) and today's dividend yield is 2.41 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.43 (last year it was 2.56). The Dow's all-time high was 14,865.14 on April 11, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,935.68 up 8.19   from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,927.49. 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   Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.52 up 27 cents from Wednesday's average of $64.25. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $61.75     (DIS/UNH) up 49 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $61.26. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If   Thursday 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 $819   ($193,568 - $192,749).

4/11/13 Thursday 4:06  pm MarketWatch by Lynn Mandaro says U.S. stocks rallied Thursday, again lifting the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025 SPX +0.36% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA +0.42% to new record closes, after a more-than-forecast drop in jobless claims and some better results from retailers. The Dow average gained 62.90 points, or 0.4%, to 14,865.14. The S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025 SPX +0.36% gained 5.64 points, or 0.4%, to 1,593.37. Telecom and healthcare stocks led gains for nine of 10 S&P 500 sectors. Retail stocks were also strong, while tech was the only laggard as PC-related stocks were hit on a report of falling demand. The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP +0.09% gained 2.9 points, or 0.1%, to 3,300.16.

AJC pA11 "Stocks rise sharply led by tech gains" by Steve Rothwell says policymakers think economy can grow without stimulus. Tech stocks rose 1.8%.


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.

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.
