5/29/13 Wed. pm Dow Closes at 15,302.80 down 106.59 or 0.69%

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,202  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 Wednesday at 15,302.80 down 106.59 or 0.69%  from Tuesday's close of 15,354.40.  Of the Dow components  11 gained, Alcoa was unchanged and  18   declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise   and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 64 cents or 2.6%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was  Johnson & Johnson down $2.04  and percentage-wise was Coke down 2.66 %.


As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5  of  Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's  trailing P/E ratio is 16.83 up from Tuesday's  trailing P/E ratio of 16.71 (last year it was 13.86); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 13.75 unchanged from Tuesday's  P/E estimate of 13.75 (year ago it was 11.75) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.35 down   from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.68). The Dow's all-time high was 15,409.39 on May 28, 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 1992.67 down 13.88  from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2006.55. 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 $66.42 down 47 cents from Tuesday's average of $66.89.  The median closing price of  Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.75  (DIS/UNH) down 41 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $65.16. The lowest volume was 3M 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 $1,388 ($200,655 - $199,267).

Wednesday MarketWatch 4:01  by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply Wednesday, with Wall Street giving back much of the prior day's rally, as investors considered when the Federal Reserve would begin curbing its bond purchases. "News has been good, investors have been positive, but now there is caution that the future may not be as bright as it seemed," said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones. Equities trimmed their drop after Federal Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said, "significant accommodation remains appropriate." The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.69% fell 106.59 points to 15,302.80. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.70% lost 11.70 points to 1,648.36. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.61% declined 21.37 points to 3,467.51.
