Post No. 2,185 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 Thursday at 15,233.22 down 42.27 or 0.28% from Wednesday's close of 15,275.69. Of the Dow components 7 gained, Alcoa was unchanged and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco up $2.68 or 12.62%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Walmart down $1.36 and percentage-wise was Disney up 1.77%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.65 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.62 (last year it was 13.86); today's P/E estimate is 13.55 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 13.55 (year ago it was 12.11) and today's dividend yield is 2.37 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.37 (last year it was 2.67). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,983.61 down 5.53 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,989.14. 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 $66.12 down 18 cents from Wednesday's average of $66.30. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.31 (DIS/UNH) down 33 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $64.64. 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 lost $553 ($198,914 - $198,361).

Thursday 4:41 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says US stocks declined Thursday, halting the S&P 500’s
four-session winning streak, after a Federal Reserve official said the
central bank could begin tamping back on monetary easing as soon as this
summer. Equities fell to session lows as Bank of San Francisco President John
Williams said Fed bond purchases could be reduced if the economy
continues to improve.Ahead of the Williams speech, delivered in Portland, Ore., Dallas
Federal Reserve President Richard Fisher said the Fed should cut its
purchases of mortgage-backed securities, with the goal of eliminating
them entirely as the year continues.“Today we had a whole series of negative reports and a couple of Fed officials
out there basically commenting that maybe it’s time to start easing up
on the whole quantitative easing program,” said Dave Heidel, regional
investment manager for the Private Client Reserve of U.S. Bank Wealth
Management.The bull market, now in its fifth year, has been fueled by corporate
earnings that have exceeded expectations along with monetary easing by
the U.S. Fed as well as other central banks around the globe.
“A constant for many quarters now is the fact that central banks of the
world are pumping so much liquidity, and some of it has found its way
into stocks,” Heidel said.Cisco Systems Inc.

was among the Dow losers after the discount-retailing giant reported quarterly earnings beneath Wall Street’s expectations and offered a disappointing forecast for the second quarter.After rising as much as 26.8 points, and losing as much as 59, the Dow finished at 15,233.22, off 42.47 points.The S&P 500 index fell 8.31 points to 1,650.47, with consumer

to 1.881%.Thursday’s session started off with Wall Street pausing after notching
record highs the previous day, as data had jobless claims hitting a
six-week high and housing starts falling sharply.Thursday’s economic reports “tell us a similar story that data have been
saying the past several months — that we have sluggish growth. But the
data certainly don’t indicate a return to recessionary conditions,” said
Brad Sorensen, director of market analysis at Charles Schwab.The tepid economy is “a sweet spot for the market, as it keeps the Fed
in their easy stance, but it doesn’t indicate severe conditions,” he
added, referring to the central bank’s continuing bond purchases to help
stimulate the U.S. economy.The government reported jobless claims climbed by
32,000 to 360,000 last week, more than economists had projected.
Another report had the cost of living in April declining for a second
month, with the 0.4% drop in the consumer-price index coming as energy costs fell.At the same time, figures released by the Commerce Department had housing starts slipping 16.5% to their lowest level since November.Also, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve reported that manufacturing activity in the region took a turn for the worse in May.On Wednesday, the Dow industrials and S&P 500 index rose to all-time closing highs on hopes for continuing central-bank stimulus.“Regardless of fundamental news, I would be very wary of trying to stand
in the way of central banks and what they are trying to do with risk
assets,” said Heidel.

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, the New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & 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 15,275.69 up 60.44 or 0.40% from Tuesday's close of 15,215.25. For the year the Dow is up16.57 %. 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%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks take high ground" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks were up cotninuing their push into record territory. Fin'ls were the top gainers as American Express rose $1.27 and JPMorgan rose 86 cents.
NYT pB4 "In sign fo ivnestor confidence markets stay strong" by Reuters says the Dow and S&P rose to new highs Wed in a broad market rally.
FT pB26 "Macy's manages to stay in style as it plans to raise dividend" by Arash Massoudi, Jason Abbruzzese says US stocks soared to record highs Wed despite signs that the nation's largest public firms have seen limited sales growth in 1Q. JPMorgan rose 1.7%.
IBD pB2 "cyclical stocks still thrive as indexes rally modestly" by David Saito-Chung says stocks overcame a mildly weak opena nd finished with decent gains Wed as the Dow and the S&P hit new highs reaffirming the ongoing strength of the cyclical trade. Wed's actions saw moderate gains as vol edges up and the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
AJC pA9 "Stocks keep climbing" by Matthew Craft, AP says the tepid economic growth means interest rates will remain low.
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).
5/15/13
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
