http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,169 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.

A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 14,968.89 down 5.07%  from Friday's close of 14,973.96. For the year the Dow is up 14.23%.   Of the Dow components   14 gained and  16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Home Depot up  $1.30 and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 5.23%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.73 and percentage-wise was  Merck down 1.51%.

WSJ pC4 "Fin'l stocks lift S&P" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks posted a mixed performance Monw ith ivnestors shiftingout of defensive sectors thathave led much of this year's rally and moving into more aggressive fare swuch as fin';l firm shares.  Bank of America was up 64 cents and JPMorgan was up 61 cents.

FT p22 "Apollo hits all time peak on back of stronger than forecast figures" by Arash Massoudi says US stocks reached ar ecord level  yet again after shares in Apollo Glboal Mgmt reached an all time high as the buyout group reported strogner than expected quarterlye arnings. Bank of America climbed 5.2% after it settlement a dispute with MBIA.  UnitedHealth rose 2.2%. 

NYT pB6 "S&JP 500 hits record in quiet trading" by Reuters says the stock market showed little change in quiet trading as the S&P reached another nominal record high. 

AJC pA11 "Little change after record week" by AP says stock indexes were little changed Mon following a record setting run last week.  News that Bank of America and MBIA had reached a settlement over a long running dispute propelled both stocks higher.

IBD pB2 "S&P 500 hits another high as more stocks break out" by Vincent Mao says stocks wavered to a mixed but mostly constructive finish Mon as the broad amrket indexes touched new miles stones.  Losses in IBM and Johnson & Johnson weighed on the Dow as Monday's action was mixed in lower trade and the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081.Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.38 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.41 (last year it was 14.46); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 13.25 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 13.25 (year ago it was 12.46) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.39 unchanged from Monday's dividend yield of 2.39 (last year it was 2.52). The Dow's all-time high was 14,973.96 on May 3, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,949.18 down 0.67 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,949.85. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.97 down 2 cents from Friday's average of $64.99. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $62.63 (DIS/UNH) up  77 cents from Friday's median closing price of $61.86. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Monday 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 havelost $67 ($194,985 - $194,918).
