4/2/13 Tues. pm Dow Closes at 14,662.01 up 89.16 or 0.61%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,123  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 Tuesday at 14,662.01 up 89.16 or 0.61%  from Monday's close of 14,572.85. Of the Dow components 23   gained, Bank of America was unchanged  and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up $2.77 or 4.7 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was  Hewlett-Packard down $1.21 or 5.19%.

As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.96 up from yesterday's P/E ratio of 15.95 (year ago it was 14.84); today's P/E estimate is 12.95 unchanged from Monday' s P/E estimate of 12.95 (year ago it was 12.63) and today's closing dividend yield is 2.44 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.44 (last year it was 2.49). The Dow's all-time high was 14,622.01 on April 2, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,909.23 up 11.61    from Monday's closing numerator of 1,897.62. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.64 up 39  cents from Monday's average of $63.25. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $59.60     (DIS/UNH) up $1.79 cents from Monday's median closing price of $57.81.  The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Tuesday 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 havemade $1,161   ($190,923 - $189,762).

4/2/13 Tuesday 4:03  pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks gained Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.61% and the S&P 500 SPX +0.52% both closing at record highs as health insurers rallied on Medicare-reimbursement news and U.S. factory orders rose in February. "There are still some risks out there. But for the market to be at new highs here, based on where earnings are, and where economic growth is, it's reasonable," says Jim Dunigan, managing executive for investments at PNC Wealth Management. The Dow industrials rose 88.16 points, or 0.6%, to 14,662.01, with the blue-chip index topping the prior record hit late last week. The S&P 500 added 8.08 points, or 0.5%, to 1,570.25, its all-time closing high. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP +0.48% rose 15.69 points, or 0.5%, to end at 3,254.86, with the technology-heavy index 1,793.76 points from its record-high finish of 5,048.62, set on March 10, 2000.

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog:

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

Dow Jones Industrial Average:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 14,572.85 down 5.69 or 0.04% from Thursday's close of 14,578.54. For the year the Dow is up 11.21%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down $1.38 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 2.18%.

NYT pB4 "Major indexes decline as growth in manufacturing slows" & AJC pA7 "Stocks off to sluggish start" by AP says the market got off to a slow start in April due to a slowdown in US manufacturing growth last month.

WSJ pC4 "After Sprint, stocks limp into new quarter" by Kaitlyn Kiernana says US stocks were pressured by disappointing manufacturing data. Hewlett-Packard and Intel led the Dow lower.

IBD pB2 "Stocks start April lower but avoid distribution day" by Vincent Mao says the Dow only gave up a bit due to Unithedhealth Group which was up due to winning a rate hike for Medicare Advantage plans. MOnday's action was down in lower trade and the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

FT p20 "Nabors Industries labours as manufacturers come under strain" by Arash Massoudi says Wall St turned away from record levels Mon as investors pulled back due to worse than expected manufacturing data.

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.

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.
