4/16/13 Tues am AT&T & Verizon Face Stronger Sprint

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,144  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.

 A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 14,599.20 down 265.86 or 1.79% from Friday's close of 14,865.06.   For the year the Dow is up 11.41%. Of the Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down $3.37   and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down 3.27%.

WSJ pC4 "Dow's plunge is its worswt since Nov" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks tumbled as steep declines in gold and other commodities fueld a selloff after worse thane xpected data on Cinese & economic growth as the Boston Marathon bombs addded to market jitters.

NYT pB1 "Price of gold takes flashy fall; other markets follow" by Nathaniel Popper, USAT p1B "Stocks swoon after 1 2 3 punch" by Adam Shell and Matt Krantz say bad news from China, the drop in gold and the Boston attack caused the market to fall Mon.

AJC pA7 "Stocks suffer worst day of year" by Matthew Craft, AP says drop in commodity prices led to the biggest loss in 5 months.

FT p22 "Late afternoon sell off leaves S&P at lowest level since Nov" by Arash massoudi says stocks fell as wearker manufacturing & housing data in the US as well as poor Chinese growth numbers sparked a selloff.

IBD pB2 "Stocks slide in high vol; market uptrend under fire" by Vincent Mao says econoic data in China and at home pressured stocks Mon as stocks were hammered as volume spikes.  The current outlook is the uptrend is under pressure.

As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6  of  Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.90 down   from Monday's P/E ratio of 16.28 (year ago it was 14.51); today's P/E estimate is 13.15 up  from Monday' s P/E estimate of 13.05 (year ago it was 12.45) and today's dividend yield is 2.44 up   from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.53). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,901.05 down 34.62   from Friday's closing numerator of 1,935.67. 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 $63.37 cents uunchanged from Friday's average of $64.52. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $60.24     (DIS/UNH) down $1.52    from Friday's median closing price of $61.76. 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 $3,462   ($193,568 - $190,105).

4/15/13 Monday 5:01 pm MarketWatch by Laura Mandaro & Ben Eisen says U.S. stocks indexes fell the most in five months Monday, swept up in a rush out of gold, oil and other commodities, after reports from China showed the industrial giant’s growth had cooled.Soured sentiment built as the session wore on, exacerbated by a drop in a gauge of U.S. home builders’ confidence. Some strategists said the pullback was expected after stock indexes notched records last week.“The market is down because it’s extended. It has been going up in the face of bad macro news,” said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. China was “a reality check,” he said.Adding to market participants’ anxiety Monday afternoon were reports of explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.79%  ended near its lows of the day, down 265.86 points, or 1.8%, to 14,599.20. The S&P 500 index SPX -2.30%  sank 36.49 points, or 2.3%, to 1,552.36. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -2.38%  fell 78.46 points, or 2.4%, to 3,216.49.The day’s selloff was the worst since Nov. 7, the day after the U.S. presidential election, when investors turned their fears to an impeding “fiscal cliff” of tax hikes and budget cuts.                                        

The Monday rout was an abrupt pause in a rally that has seemed all but unstoppable. From the Cyprus bailout that risked breaking up the euro zone, to U.S. budget cutbacks, buyers have repeatedly shown an interest in buying stocks on the dip. As a result, deep selloffs have often turned into mild retreats by day’s end, causing some strategists to wonder if investors are getting too complacent — particularly given last week’s disappointing data on U.S. retail sales.Scott Redler, a technical strategist at T3 Trading, said he’s been watching to see whether stocks could hold on to recent gains after the S&P 500 hit an intraday record of 1,597 last week. “What is important after a breakout is measuring the validity of the break out. If it fails to hold and turns into a bit of a trap, take notice,” he wrote in emailed comments.China's economic growth slowed unexpectedly in the first quarter, raising concerns that a recovery that started in the second half of last year is already losing steam.

U.S. equity losses were an extension of a selloff that took place in Europe and Asia after China reported that its gross domestic product for the January-through-March quarter grew 7.7% from a year earlier, less than forecasts calling for growth of 8%, while industrial production in April slowed to 8.9%, the weakest in more than a year.Gold was hit hard by that news. It ended Monday’s session with a loss of more than $140, its worst one-day performance since the early 1980s. Other metals, notably silver, and oil also tumbled.On the S&P 500, raw-materials stocks including Newmont Mining Corp. NEM -6.74% , Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. FCX -8.30%   and iron-ore maker Cliffs Natural Resources CLF -8.28%  paced losses. Of the 10 S&P 500 sectors, all were lower, with the downward pace being set by nearly 4% drops in the energy and materials sector.On the Dow, heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. CAT -3.27%  fell the most, followed by other blue chips considered heavily exposed to China or global resource demand: oil major Chevron Corp. CVX -2.81% , Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM -2.81% and General Electric Co. GE -2.77% .
