Post No. 2,197 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 May 16 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings also as of May 16.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 15,307.17 down 80.41 or 0.52% from Wednesday's close of 15,307.17. Of the Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up $3.63 or 17.1%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson down $1.25 and percentage-wise was Alcoa down 1.73%.
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 19.29 unchanged from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 19.29 (last year it was 14.85); today's closing P/E estimate is 15.02 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 15.02 (year ago it was 12.50) and today's closing dividend yield is 2.06 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.06 (last year it was 2.13). The Dow's all-time high was 15,387.58 on May 21, 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 1991.59 down 1.65 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1993.24. 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 $66.39 down 5 cents from Wednesday's average of $66.44. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.80 (DIS/UNH) down 13 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $63.93. 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 $165 ($199,324- $199,159).
5/23/13 Thursday 4:29 pm MarketWatch by Polya Lesova, Victor Reklaitis says US stocks fell modestly on Thursday, substantially paring intraday losses after upbeat U.S. economic reports and gains for Hewlett-Packard Co. countered worries about the Federal Reserve potentially tapering its bond-buying program.Stocks had dropped sharply at the start of trading, taking their cue from a massive selloff in Japanese equities overnight. However, they began to lift off their session lows after the release of housing data mid-morning.The session was choppy, with stocks briefly rising into positive territory only to surrender those gains.The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index SPX -0.29% dipped 4.84 points, or 0.3%, to end at 1,650.51, with utilities leading declines among its 10 major sectors and telecommunications the only gainer. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.11% fell 3.88 points, or 0.1%, to 3,459.42.After dropping as much as 127 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.08% finished down 12.67 points, or 0.1%, at 15,294.50, with only nine of its 30 components in positive territory.The blue-chip index was helped by a 17% jump by Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ +17.10% following the computer maker’s earnings report.Concern the Fed is poised to reduce its program to stimulate the U.S. economy hit European financial markets hard after causing turmoil in Asia.
Japanese stocks led an Asian selloff Thursday, with the Nikkei Stock Average
JP:NIK
-7.32%
plunging 7.3%, its worst single-day loss since March 2011.The Japanese retreat came as 10-year Japanese government bond yields
surged to their highest level in more than a year, forcing the Bank of Japan to offer 2 trillion yen ($19 billion) in funds to try to placate markets. An unexpected contraction in Chinese manufacturing also weighed.On Wednesday, minutes from the latest Federal Reserve policy meeting and testimony from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested the central bank’s bond-buying program could be pared back in coming months. “Yes, stocks really can go down,” said Brian Belski, chief investment
strategist at BMO Capital Markets. Before staging a negative reversal
Wednesday, the S&P 500 had risen to an intraday record of 1,687.18
representing an 18% gain in 2013 to date.But Belski, speaking early Thursday, added that he views the current action as just a pullback.“Do we believe the bull market is over? Categorically no,” he said. “This is a calm. This is a respite. This is not 2008.”Other strategists also have said they’re not expecting a deep drop for U.S. equities, saying the Nikkei was more “stretched.”U.S. stock futures had been sharply lower ahead of the Wall Street open,
but the stock market pared losses as the regular session progressed.
That signals there were people with money on the sidelines waiting to
buy on a sloppy day, said Robert Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen
Asset Management.

5/22/13 Wednesday 4:38 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says US stocks slid Wednesday, reversing gains after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting and comments from the Fed chief suggested the central bank may begin tapering its bond-buying program in coming months.
Stocks had a wild ride during the session, as investors digested
congressional testimony by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the release at 2
p.m. Eastern of the minutes from the Fed’s April 30-May 1 meeting.The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index

All three
benchmarks logged their steepest point and percentage losses since May
1, according to FactSet data.In the morning, stocks had rallied after
the release of Bernanke’s prepared remarks, in which he said that premature tightening in policy could strangle the economic recovery.However, in the question-and-answer session, lawmakers tried to nail
down when the Fed may taper its bond-buying program, with one official
asking if it could occur before Labor Day. Bernanke responded by saying
that the Fed could take a step down in the pace of asset purchases in
the “next few meetings.” That comment led stocks to pare gains and push
the market lower by early afternoon. Read MarketWatch’s coverage of the Fed chief’s testimony.Losses for stocks accelerated as the Fed released minutes showing
that a “number” of officials were willing to taper bond buying as soon
as their next meeting in June, though there was no consensus on the
policy-making panel about the best time to do so.The Fed’s bond-buying program is one of the major factors underpinning
the rally in stock prices and its end could trigger a correction. On
Tuesday, two other Fed officials had provided some soothing commentary had provided some soothing commentary about sticking with the bond-buying program,helping to lift stocks to record highs.Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets LLC, said
Bernanke’s prepared remarks seemed “dovish,” but his answers to
lawmakers’ questions caused stocks to cut their gains.“You got into the Q&A and it’s a hard thing to articulate,” Hogan
said. “The Fed is in a position where they know at some point they will
have to start reining in monetary policy, but they know the time is not
now.”All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 traded in negative territory, with
utilities and energy posting the biggest declines. First Solar Inc.
FSLR
