4/17/13 Wed. pm Dow Closes at 14,618.59 down 138.19 or 0.94%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,147  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 14,618.59 down 138.19 or 0.94% from Tuesday's close of 14,756.78. Of the Dow components 4 gained and 26 declined.   The biggest gainer dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson up 69 cents or 0.83%.  The biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Chevron down $2.11 or 4.48%.


As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.02 up from yesterday's P/E ratio of 14.90 (year ago it was 14.70); today's P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Tuesday' s P/E estimate of 13.15 (year ago it was 12.45) and today's dividend yield is 2.42 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.44 (last year it was 2.50). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,903.58 down 17.99   from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,921.57. 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 $63.45 down 60 cents unchanged from Tuesday's average of $64.05. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $61.33     (DIS/UNH) down 45 cent from Tuesday's median closing price of $61.78. 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 lost $1,799   ($192,157 - $190,358).

4/17/13 Wednesday 4:02  pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply on Wednesday to reclaim much of the prior day's advance, with sentiment hit by disappointing company results and an Apple Inc. AAPL -5.50% supplier's tepid outlook. "The amazing thing is how bipolar this market has become. Just look at the last three days, first we had liquidation day Monday, with all asset classes sold, then the rally, and now we're giving back yesterday's gains," said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. "We may have 60% of companies beating numbers because expectations are so low. And Apple is down not because of earnings but because of someone else's earnings," he added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.94% fell 138.19 points to 14,618.59. The S&P 500 SPX -1.43% lost 22.56 points to 1,552.01. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.84% shed 59.96 points to 3,204.67.

4/16/13 Tuesday 4:25 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed with substantial gains Tuesday, rebounding from their hardest knock this year as first-quarter reports from companies including Coca-Cola Co. beat expectations and data had housing starts up 7% in March.
“Earnings and the housing report were the key drivers to turn things around today,” said Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates Inc. in Hinsdale, Ill. On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.08%  recouped a large chunk of its 265-point loss the prior day, rising 157.58 points to 14,756.78 for its best session in nearly seven weeks.The S&P 500 index SPX +1.43%  added 22.21 points to 1,574.57, with materials leading the gains across all 10 of its major sectors.The Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.50%  rose 48.14 points to 3,264.63. For every stock falling nearly five gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 743 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.6 billion. Treasury prices slid, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR +2.26%  used in determining mortgages and other consumer loans rising to 1.72%.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures for June delivery GCM3 +0.40%  climbed $26.30 to finish at $1,387.40 an ounce, recovering a slight piece of what was lost after their steepest decline since 1983. The price of oil CLK3 +0.08%  gained marginally after a three-session drop, edging up 1 cent to $88.72 a barrel.Tuesday’s economic reports had U.S. housing starts rising 7% in March, paced by apartment-building construction, while consumer inflation fell 0.2% last month and industrial production increased 0.4%.  Goldman Sachs posts better-than-expected profit in the first quarter. The upbeat housing report boosted building-related companies, with W.W. Grainger Inc. GWW +7.17%   up 7.2% and PulteGroup Inc. PHM +4.20%  up 4.2%. Share of Dell Inc. DELL 0.00%  were flat after the personal-computer maker said a special committee of its board had reached an agreement with billionaire investor Carl Icahn to cap his share ownership as Dell mulls takeover offers from Icahn’s firm as well as from a group led by CEO Michael Dell and from buyout specialist Blackstone Group. Goldman Sachs shares GS -1.61%  erased initial gains to end down 1.6% after the investment bank reported first-quarter results that beat Wall Street expectations, but trading revenue disappointed and Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein took a cautious tone.Shares of Coca-Cola Co. KO +5.69% rose 5.7% after the beverage maker reported first-quarter results that beat expectations, while retailer Target Corp. TGT -0.15%  warned first-quarter earnings would come in below expectations, taking a toll on Target shares.
The fact that Coca-Cola topped estimates a day after similar results from Citigroup Inc. C +3.99%   “conveys the global picture is not as bad as we may be thinking,” said Hinsdale Associates’ Fitzpatrick. BlackRock Inc. BLK +1.32% , the biggest U.S. provider of exchange-traded funds, topped Wall Street forecasts with a 10% rise in first-quarter profit. U.S. Bancorp USB -1.77% matched earnings forecasts, while revenue saw an unexpected drop.J ohnson & Johnson JNJ +2.12% gained 2.1% after the maker of drugs and medical devices reported first-quarter revenue that beat expectations.“Fundamentally we feel good about the earnings that are coming through, [and] it looks like it’s going to be the same as the last few quarters,” with roughly 60% beating expectations, 20% matching and 20% falling short, said Chip Cobb, portfolio manager at BMT Asset Management at the Bryn Mawr Trust Co. in Bryn Mawr, Pa.“We hope and pray that Boston is a singular event, and that’s all there is going to be,” Cobb said of Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured 176 others, with 17 still in critical condition.
