4/1/13 Mon. pm Dow Closes at 14,572.85 down 5.69 or 0.04%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,121  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 Friday at 14,572.85 down 5.69 or 0.04% from Thursday's close of 14,578.54. Of the Dow components 10 gained  and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth Care up $1.76 or 3.08%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down $1.38  and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 2.18%.

As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Monday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.9 down from Thursday's P/E ratio of 15.94 (year ago it was 14.79); Monday's opening P/E e stimate is 12.95 up from Thursday' s P/E estimate of 12.90 (year ago it was 12.63) and Monday's closing dividend yield is 2.44 down from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.45 (last year it was 2.49). The Dow's all-time high was 14,578.54 on March 28, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,897.62 down 0.74 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,898.36. 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   Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.25 down 3 cents from Thursday's average of $63.28. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.81  (DIS/UNH) up 81 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $57. The lowest volume was Travelers 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 $74 ($189,835 - $189,762).

4/1/13 Monday 4:19 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks lost ground on Monday, with two benchmark indexes retreating from record highs, after a closely watched manufacturing gauge unexpectedly declined in March.The Institute for Supply Management’s factory index fell to 51.3% in March from 54.2% in February. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast the ISM to match February’s level of 54.2%. Any figure over 50% signals expansion. Another report had construction spending climbing in February.“The ISM number is a little bit of a disappointment. Construction is still good. Don’t fight the Fed on the construction front: they want to prop up the builder and that part of the economy,” said Nick Raich, chief executive officer at the Earnings Scout.“Right now, it seems people are waiting for employment numbers and earnings season,” he added. The Labor Department will release its March report on nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate on Friday.After rising as much as 27 points and falling as much as 47 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.04%  ended down 5.69 points, or less than 0.1%, at 14,572.85.

Eighteen of its 30 components finished in the red, led by Intel Corp. INTC -1.85% , down 1.9%, and Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -2.22%  , off 2.2%. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.45%  fell 7.02 points, or 0.5%, to 1,562.17, with industrials and technology hardest hit among its 10 major sectors.

After ending March at an all-time high, and recording its best quarterly rise in a year, the S&P 500 remains below its intraday high of 1,576.09.The Nasdaq Composite index COMP -0.87%  lost 28.35 points, or 0.9%, to 3,239.17 on Monday, as Apple Inc. shares AAPL -3.11%  dropped 3.1%.Decliners outpaced advancers by a more than 2-to-1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 560 million shares traded. Composite volume approached 2.7 billion.The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index VIX +6.93% , which gauges the price of employing options as a hedge against losses in the S&P 500, leapt 7.3% to 13.63.In corporate news, Dell Inc. DELL -0.35%  warned it would be risky to take on a significant amount of debt and remain a public company given its darkening profit forecast. The comments made Friday, a holiday for Wall Street, were seen as signaling the computer maker considers bids from Blackstone Group LP BX -2.02%  and billionaire investor Carl Icahn as potentially dangerous. Dell shares fell 0.2%.Telsa Motors Inc. TSLA +15.94%   jumped almost 16% after the electric-car maker projected a profitable first quarter, pointing to robust sales of its Model S sedan.General Mills Inc. GIS -1.28%  declined 1.3% after Morgan Stanley downgraded the food manufacturer to equalweight from overweight.In a piece for the New York Times on Sunday, David Stockman, ex-budget director for President Ronald Reagan, said a market crash is just a few years away. The piece drew its share of detractors, including Princeton University economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution and 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 Thursday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 14,578.54 up 52.38 or 0.36% from Wednesday's close of 14,559.65. For the year the Dow is up 11.25%. Of the Dow components 24 gained, Procter & Gamble was unchanged and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM up $2.41 or 1.14%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron down $1.37 or 1.14%.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,898.36 up 6.84 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,891.54. 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 $63.28 up 23 cents from Wednesday's average of $63.05. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57 (DIS/UNH) up 45 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $56.55. 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 $684 ($189,835 - $189,154).

3/28/13 Thursday 4:27 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Thursday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials finishing at record highs, as investors looked to get into equities as the first quarter came to a close. The S&P 500 recorded a quarterly advance of 10%, its best performance in a year, with the bull market in March beginning a fifth year, supported by easy monetary policy by the Federal Reserve and other central banks.“Share prices are validating what has already come through in the form of corporate profits — they are at all-time highs,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.“It’s all the rage to talk about how it’s Fed-induced, and clearly the Fed has played a role in [the stock market’s] recovery, but we’re at 14 times forward earnings now, and that is not all that unreasonable,” said Luschini, referring to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. In mid-morning trade, the S&P 500SPX +0.41% surpassed its record close, set in October 2007, but its intraday high of 1,576.09, set on Oct. 11, 2007, remained elusive. Blackberry beat expectations for the fourth quarter and reported one million of its new Z10 smartphones were shipped during the period. “A close over 1,565 today on the S&P 500 will surely get the media excited. It will probably get more people to move their S&P targets higher and the talk will be 1,600 is a ‘piece of cake.’ Since when was predicting the market over the short term like a walk in the park?” said Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. After climbing to a high of 1,570.28, the S&P 500 added 6.34 points, or 0.4%, at 1,569.19.“As investors really look at their holdings and evaluate the 10% gains for this quarter, that is a nice return,” said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. So-called ‘window dressing,’ where fund managers want their end-of-quarter balance sheets to reflect participation in gaining stocks, is a likely factor in Thursday’s session, according to Silverblatt. Investors offered little reaction to largely disappointing economic reports, which had fourth-quarter economic growth revised up to 0.4% from a previous estimate of 0.1%, weekly jobless claims up by 16,000 and a gauge of business activity in the Chicago region worse than expected.

“Consumer confidence in March recently weakened, jobless claims appear to be turning up and now the Chicago PMI was weaker than expected. This trend absolutely bears watching,” noted Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.36% rose 52.38 points, or 0.4%, to 14,578.54. The blue-chip index, which first took out its 2007 record high on March 5, rose 11.3% gain in the first quarter. The Nasdaq compmposite COMP +0.34% added 11 points, or 0.3%, to 3,267.52, leaving it up 8.2% for the quarter. For every two stocks falling, roughly three rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 687 million shares exchanged hands. Composite volume cleared 3.2 billion.
