Post No. 2,157 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 14,67630 down 43.16 or 0.29% from Tuesday's close of 14,719.46. Of the Dow components 15 gained and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $2.71 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 3.79%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble own $5.57 or 6.75%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.19 up from yesterday's P/E ratio of 15.88 (year ago it was 14.60); today's P/E estimate is 13.05 unchanged from Tuesday' s P/E estimate of 13.05 (year ago it was 12.32) and today's dividend yield is 2.43 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.45 (last year it was 2.52). 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 1,911.09 down 5.62 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,916.71. 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.

4/23/13 Tuesday 4:27
pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied on
Tuesday, recouping after an
erroneous tweet pushed the market down 1% in seconds, as investors
embraced earnings and less-dismal-than-anticipated corporate forecasts.
‘It [the market’s reaction to a phony AP tweet]
probably does reveal a little bit about the skittishness of this market,
not that it wouldn’t have had an impact in any case, but the market has
struggled with confidence," said Bruce McCain, Key Private Bank. “The
good news is guidance is still being cut by a majority of
companies, but not all that much, or at a lesser rate. We’re not seeing
major slashes to second-quarter expectations,” said Nick Raich, chief
executive at The Earnings Scout in Cleveland, Ohio. Of the more than 130 S&P’s 500 companies that have reported
quarterly results so far, 70% beat earnings estimates but only 48%
exceeded sales expectations, according to Raich.The Dow Jones Industrial Average

briefly trading down nearly 13 points on the day, before springing back
after the Associated Press said its Twitter account was hacked. The
AP’s Twitter feed had erroneously said that there had been two
explosions at the White House.“The mini crash and recovery does say something about the impact Twitter
feeds can have,” Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key
Private Bank.

And, “it probably does reveal a little bit about the skittishness of
this market, not that it wouldn’t have had an impact in any case, but
the market has struggled with confidence,” said McCain, who cited the
defensive tilt of the market in the last month or so, with health care,
consumer staples and utilities outperforming more economically sensitive
sectors. The S&P 500 index

have to say, “it’s a cautious tone,
and usually these CEOs are cheerleaders. They’re using excess cash to
buy back shares and increase dividends, as opposed to reinvesting in
their business and hiring people,” Raich said.U.S. stocks climbed Monday,

in sovereign-debt yields, including in Spain and Italy, also bolstered
the case for equities.“Several countries are reporting record-low yields
for their sovereign
debt across maturities ranging from two years to 10 years,” noted Fred
Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos.Data showed that U.S. sales of new single-family homes rose 1.5% in March
to an annual rate of 417,000 from 411,000 in February.Other data
Tuesday had the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s home-price
index rising 0.7% in February and Markit’s “flash” U.S. PMI for April
sliding to a six-month low.In China, HSBC Holdings and Markit Economics
released its initial purchasing managers’ index reading of 50.5 for
April.“We’re getting a flow of increasingly disappointing news from
China and
some of the overseas markets. And our economy is not strong enough to
simply go it alone,” said Key Private Bank’s McCain.
