Post No. 2,183 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 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 15,275.69 up 60.44 or 0.40% from Tuesday's close of 15,215.25. Of the Dow components 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express up $1.27 or 1.78%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down $1.99 and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 2.56%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.62 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.50 (last year it was 13.90); today's P/E estimate is 13.55 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.55 (year ago it was 12.11) and today's dividend yield is 2.37 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.38 (last year it was 2.62). The Dow's all-time high was 15,275.69 on May 15, 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 1,989.14 up 7.87 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,981.27. 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 $66.30 up 26 cents from Tuesday's average of $66.04. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.64 (DIS/UNH) up 9 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $64.55. 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 made $787 ($198,914 - $198,127).

Wednesday 4:21 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says US stocks rose Wednesday, with hopes for ongoing
central-bank stimulus bolstering sentiment amid economic reports
illustrating a contraction in manufacturing.“It seems like it’s becoming a broken record,” said Andrew Fitzpatrick,
director of investments at Hinsdale Associates Inc., of the string of
all-time highs, which again came into play on Wednesday.After starting the session in the red, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.40%
rose 60.44 points to 15,275.69, the index’s 20th record finish this year.The market’s current bull run, now in its fifth year, comes amid
continuing stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve as well as monetary
easing by central banks around the globe, along with
better-than-expected corporate earnings.“Wall Street is getting more comfortable they won’t just pull the plug;
they’ll do it at a more measured pace,” said Fitzpatrick, referring to
the Federal Reserve.“We’ve seen little reaction to the rumors that the Fed is behind closed
doors trying to craft some kind of exit strategy,” he added of a Wall
Street Journal report last week. That said, Fitzpatrick is among the consensus calls for a market pause or correction.“I do think a pullback here is warranted, and the sooner we get it, the better.”
Dow component Cisco Systems Inc. shares
CSCO
+5.56%
leapt higher after Wednesday’s closing bell as the networking giant reported quarterly results that beat Wall Street’s projections. “The Cisco report tends to carry weight, especially in light of its
outlook; it’s a good gauge in terms of the business climate and the
economy,” said Fitzpatrick. Tallying its 20th record close for 2013, the S&P 500 index
SPX
+0.51%
gained 8.44 points to 1,658.78, with consumer staples faring best and energy the poorest performing of its 10 industry groups. Deere & Co.

5/14/13 Tuesday 4:17 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Tuesday rallied to another record-breaking close as Wall Street embraced the view of a still-improving economy.
‘We’ve had 177 days without a 5% correction, and since 2007, we’ve had 512 central-bank interest-rate cuts, which is probably one of the more important numbers in the whole string of events.”
Art Hogan, Lazard Capital Markets
On CNBC Tuesday, hedge-fund manager David Tepper said he remains bullish on stocks and that the economy is still getting better.“The news of the day is more good than bad,” said Art Hogan, market
strategist at Lazard Capital Markets LLC, who cited a
better-than-expected report Tuesday from the National Federation of Independent Business, which released data showing conditions brightened for its members in April.Strong April retail sales reported
Monday are “further proof the economy has momentum despite tax hikes,
fiscal cliffs, sequestration, [and] debt ceilings,” wrote Jeffrey Saut,
chief market strategist at Raymond James & Associates
Inc.Advancing for an 18th consecutive Tuesday, the Dow
DJIA
+0.82%
added 123.57 points to 15,215.25, with all but four of its 30 components advancing.Bank of America Corp.
BAC
+2.77%
was the top gainer in the Dow, rallying 2.8%.“Interestingly, if one
takes out those Tuesday gains, the Dow has not done all that much this
year,” wrote Saut. Lazard’s Hogan rattled off other market statistics:
“We’ve had 177 days
without a 5% correction, and since 2007, we’ve had 512 central-bank
interest-rate cuts, which is probably one of the more important numbers
in the whole string of events.”
Also finishing at a record close, the S&P 500 index
SPX

added 16.57 points to 1,650.34, with financial shares faring best among

Tuesday included a 0.9% drop in import prices in April, largely due to
falling oil prices. Commodity prices are coming down, reducing consumer
and corporate costs,
and bolstering the case for equities, Lazard’s Hogan said.The U.S.
dollar
DXY

and Treasury yields gained, with the greenback 10-year note yield
10_YEAR

at 1.968%.Speaking in Stockholm Tuesday, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
President Charles Plosser repeated his view that the central bank should
start to curb bond purchases as soon as its next meeting, which is
slated for June 18-19.“Unless we see a significant reversal in current trends that jeopardizes
my forecast of near 7% unemployment rate by the end of this year, then I
anticipate that we could end the program before year-end,” said
Plosser, who doesn’t vote on the Federal Open Market Committee until
next year.Lacking a major catalyst, equities have trended sideways in recent days,
after a run-up that has the S&P 500 up nearly 16% so far this year
on better-than-expected corporate earnings and on continuing stimulus
from the Federal Reserve.
