http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,127  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 Thursday at 14,606.11 up 55.76 or 0.38% from Wednesday's close of 14,550.35. The  Of the Dow components 25   gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wisewas McDonald's up $1.37 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 1.71%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was  IBM down $.143 and percentage-wise was Alcoa down 0.73%.

As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.07 unchanged from yesterday's P/E ratio of 16.07 (year ago it was 14.63); today's P/E estimate is 12.95 unchanged from Wednesday' s P/E estimate of 12.95 (year ago it was 12.63) and today's closing dividend yield is 2.45 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.43 (last year it was 2.50). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,901.95 up 7.26    from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,894.69. 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 $63.40 up 34  cents from Wednesday's average of $63.16. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $59.78 (DIS/UNH) up 30 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $59.48. 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 $726   ($190,195 - $189,46).

4/4/13 Thursday 4:03  pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks  resumed an advance Thursday as cheer over Japan's monetary stimulus overcame resistance that came as U.S. jobless claims climbed to a four-month high. "In the global sense, don't fight the Fed," said Tim Leach, chief investment officer of the private client reserve of U.S. Bank Wealth Management, referring to the Bank of Japan's announcement of aggressive easing measures, which comes along with similar moves by central banks in the United States and Europe. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.38% was up 55.76 points, or 0.4%, to 14,606.11. The S&P 500 SPX +0.40% rose 6.29 points, or 0.4%, to 1,559.98. The Nasdaq Composite /COMP +0.20% gained 6.38 points, or 0.2%, to 3,224.98.

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

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

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14,550.35 down 111.66 or 0.76%. Of the Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. For the year the Dow is up 11.04%. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck up 45 cents or 1 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.70 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan down 2.96%.

WSJ pC4 "Investros go on defensive" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks fell due to poor results on US growth

NYT pB9 "Weakness in jobs data sends market lower" & AJC pA11 "Stocks decline on weak reports" by Steve Rothwell, AP says weak reports on hiring & service industries sent the stock market lower Wed giving the Dow its worst day in more than a month.

IBD pB2 "Indexes, leaders tumble as markets outlook dims" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says stocks slid Wed in a broad sell off that clouded the market's outlook. The current outlook is an uptrend under pressure.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,894.69 14.54 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,909.23. 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 $63.16 down 58 cents from Tuesday's average of $63.64. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $5948 (DIS/UNH) down 12 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $59.60. 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 $1,454 ($190,923 - $189,46).

4/3/13 Wednesday 4:27 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply Wednesday, with the benchmark indexes taking their worst hit in more than five weeks, after labor-market data disappointed ahead of Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report.“If you stack up economic data over the last few days, a handful have disappointed, including today,” said Art Hogan, a market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets.

Friday’s “big employment report will determine the next direction for the market, at least for the short term,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives.After a 136.65-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.76% finished at 14,550.35, down 111.66, or 0.8%.ADP reports private companies added 158,000 payrolls in March, a much slower pace than was expected.The S&P 500 index SPX-1.05% shed 16.56 points, or 1.1%, to 1,553.69, with financial companies hardest hit and technology losing the least among its major sectors.While the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials on Tuesday closed at all-time highs, market breadth on the NYSE was a slight negative and trading volume slight, leaving the market “gasping for air at its current high-altitude level with buyers reluctant to step in and drive prices meaningfully higher on heavy trading volume,” Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Companies, said in emailed research. On Wednesday, Monsanto Co.’s MON+0.85% shares climbed 0.9% after the agricultural company hiked its 2013 earnings outlook.Zynga Inc. ZNGA+14.98% jumped 15% after saying it would launch online gambling in the U.K.The Nasdaq Composite COMP-1.11% declined 36.26 points, or 1.1%, to 3,218.60.For every share rising, more than three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 812 million shares traded.Composite volume exceeded 4 billion.

Lazard’s Hogan played down the notion that the market’s decline had much to do with reports the U.S. was readying to deploy an advanced missile-defense system to Asia in response to threats by North Korea.

Equities continued their slide after the release of a gauge of the U.S. services sector, with the Institute for Supply Management’s nonmanufacturingg index in March falling to 54.4 from 56 the month before.

American corporations starts reporting first-quarter results next week, with Alcoa Inc. AA-0.36% slated to release its earnings for the period on Monday.Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams on Wednesday said the central bank could start reducing its $85 billion-a-month asset-purchases by the summer.The comments followed those by St. Louis Fed Bank President James Bullard, who spoke in favor of trimming the bond purchase program in $10-$15 billion increments in response to changes in the economy.
