Post No. 2,221 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 curent CEOs, and a recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14995.23 down 126.79 or 0.84% from Tuesday's close of 15122.02. Of the Dow components 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 72 and a half cents or 2.99%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.73 and percentage-wise was American Express down 2.26%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.52 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16566 (last year it was 13.85); today's P/E estimate is 13.75 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.75 (year ago it was 11.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.41 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.39 (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 1952.62 down 16.51 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1969.13. 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 $65.09 down 55 cents from Tuesday's average of $65.64. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.43 (DIS/UNH) down 43 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $63.86. 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 lost $1,651 ( $196,913 - $195,262).
Wednesday
MarketWatch 4:18 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks tumbled on Wednesday, with the Dow industrials falling for three consecutive
days for the first time this year, as the Japanese yen furthered its rise and
doubts about monetary policy had investors on edge. “The markets are very much tying off of the Japanese currency and also again,
Fed policy, which hasn’t changed, and we don’t think is likely to change this
year. But the comments from the various Fed governors are acting as trial
balloons,” said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners. “They are
getting a sense of the market’s reaction without actually changing policy,” he
added. The Federal Open Market Committee will hold a two-day meeting next week. After a 119-point opening leap, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.84% fell as much as
140 points and ended at 14,995.23, a loss of 126.79 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 SPX -0.84% lost 13.61
points, or 0.8%, to 1,612.52, with consumer discretionary pacing losses that
extended to all 10 of its major industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.06% fell 36.52
points, or 1.1%, to 3,400.43. For each stock rising, more than four fell on the New York Stock Exchange,
where nearly 686 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.2 billion. Volatility’s return to Wall Street can be traced to May 22, when Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank could cut back on its
monetary stimulus if the labor market shows “sustainable improvement.” “We literally spent the entire year without having three down days in a row,
just grinding higher, and we never had more than a 3% decline up until May 22,”
Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets, said in a telephone
interview late Tuesday. “The FOMC and Ben Bernanke have introduced volatility into the market for the
first time this year, so the introduction of volatility seems extreme to us, but
that’s only because we spent the first five months without it,” Hogan said. Dearborn Partners’ Nolte agreed, saying: “It seems more volatile only because
of where we’ve been. It is a return to more normal volatility.” “The concern over Armageddon is way overblown. I don’t see it as anything
more than a correction; it doesn’t mean you rearrange your entire portfolio,”
Nolte added. The Fed’s monetary easing and better-than-anticipated corporate results have
fed a bull market now in a fifth year, pushing the S&P 500 up 139% from a
12-year low in 2009. On Wednesday, the U.S. dollar
fell against the Japanese yen USDJPY +0.0412% , which on
Tuesday rose the most against the greenback in three years. One day after reaching a 14-month high, the yield on the 10-year Treasury Note 10_YEAR +2.19% used in
determining mortgage rates and other consumer loans rose to 2.238%. “Global credit markets are calmer after a tumultuous selloff the past month,
sending yields materially higher, but still very low compared with historical
averages and where most rates were last year,” wrote Nick Raich, CEO at the
Earnings Scout. “Despite, or maybe because of, the recent sharp rise in 30-year-mortgage
rates to 4.15%, mortgage applications in the U.S. were up 16% last week after
four weeks of terrible numbers,” Raich added. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, the cost
of crude rose, with oil futures /quotes/zigman/2291778 CLN3 +0.49% up 50 cents at
$95.88 a barrel, while gold futures /quotes/zigman/6585799 GCQ3 +0.86% added $15 to
finish at $1,392 an ounce. In deal news Wednesday, India’s Apollo Tyres Ltd. is acquiring Ohio’s Cooper
Tire & Rubber Co.CTB +41.12% in a $2.5
billion transaction. Shares of Cooper Tire rallied 41%. U.S.
stocks fell sharply on Tuesday after the Bank of Japan kept its monetary
policy steady, increasing fears that global central banks won't maintain their
monetary easing. Unease as to when and by how much the Fed would taper its $85
billion in monthly bond purchases means the market’s recent return to volatility
will persist until the Fed’s tapering plan becomes clear. The Nikkei
Stock Average JP:NIK
-0.21% shook off
a sharper initial drop to close down 0.2% on Wednesday to 13,289.32. In Europe,
stocks ended lower Wednesday. On Thursday, the economic
calendar includes government reports on initial jobless claims for last
week, along with retail sales for May

The following are excerpts from Wed morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Wednesday'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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 15,122.02 down 116.57 or 0.76% from Monday's close of 15238.59. For the year the Dow is up15.40 %. Of the Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up 25 cents or 0.39%%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express down $1.76 or 2.25%.
WSJ pC4 "Central banks confound investors" by Jonathan Cheng says US stocks ended a seesaw session with broad declines as investor concerns over the limits of global central bank policy gtriggered a sharp rise in the Japanese yen and a reversal in the Treasury's market. American Express fell $1.76 to weigh most heavily on the Dow.
IBD pB4 "Stocks slide in big trade; market outlook worsens" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says the major indexes fell sharply Tues worsening the market's already shaky outlook as Tuesday's action saw global sell off which spilled over to Wall St. the current outlook is the market is in a correction.
FT p20 "Chief's unsolicited buyout offer proves fruitful for Dole shares" by Jason Abbruzzese says US indices joined overseas markets in a sell off that began after the Bank of Japan put a hold on the stimulus which caused concern whether the Fed will end its qe program and mixed US economic data weighed on US stocks. Sony rose after it said its New PlayStation 4 video will a a price $100 less than Microsoft's Xbox One. Microsoft was down 1.8%.
NYT pB4 "business picked up in April for wholesalers, US says" says US wholesalers increased their stockpiles in April & their sales rebounded from a big decline in Mar, positive signs for economic growth.
AJC pA11 "Choppy day ends with loss" says renewed concerns re cental banks easing off support wiped out the US stock market's gain for the month.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1969.13 down 15.22 from Monday's closing numerator of 1984.35. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $65.64 down 43 cents from Monday's average of $66.07. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.86 (DIS/UNH) up 15 cents from Monday's median closing price of $63.71.

If Tuesday 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 $1,522 ( $198,435 - $196,913).
Tuesday
MarketWatch 4:42 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks declined sharply
Tuesday after the Bank of Japan opted to hold its monetary policy
steady, raising concerns that central banks will not provide additional
economic stimulus.The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee and Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke “have introduced volatility into the market for
the first time this year, and part of it has to do with when
quantitative easing will start to taper, and that has caused a cascade
of opinions as to when that will be and what that should mean for
stocks,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets.
Investors have been watching U.S. economic data closely for any clues as
to when the Federal Reserve may begin to scale back its $85 billion in
monthly bond purchases.
“It
does feel like in the last couple of weeks, news has been affecting
all markets, not just regional,” said Richard Slinn, an investment
specialist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank in San Francisco.
“As [10-year Treasury] yields 10_YEAR-0.27%
rise and as that volatility increases, we’ve been rotating,” Slinn says
of investors swapping into varying asset classes.
On Tuesday, the 10-year Treasury yield traded at 2.183%. Along with Asian and European stocks, the dollar fell sharply against the Japanese yen USDJPY+0.11%
after the Bank of Japan decided to stay put on its policies, dashing
some hopes that the central bank would extend the duration on its
ultra-low interest rates to banks. In the stock market, boring is often
beautiful.Extending losses into a second session, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average DJIA-0.76%
fell as much as 152 points before briefly turning positive, then
finished with a 116.57-point, or 0.8%, loss at 15,122.02 with American
Express Co. AXP-2.25% pacing declines that included all but three of its 30 components.The S&P 500 index SPX-1.02%
dropped 16.68 points, or 1%, to 1,626.13, with the financial sector
hardest hit among its 10 major industries. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP-1.06%
slid 36.82 points, or 1.1%, to 3,436.95. For every stock rising, half a
dozen fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 689 million
shares traded.Gold futures GCQ3-0.59% shed $9 to $1,377 an ounce and crude CLN3-0.90% fell 39 cents to $95.38 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Inventories at U.S. businesses climbed 0.2% in April to $504.8 billion, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Separately, the Labor Department said job openings at U.S. workplaces fell to 3.76 million in April from 3.88 million in March.Wall Street stocks finished Monday’s session
little changed after Standard & Poor’s revised its U.S.
credit-rating outlook to stable from negative. On Monday, the Dow
finished down 9.53 points, or 0.06%, to 15,238.59, and the S&P
500 dipped 0.57 point to 1,642.81.In Tuesday trading, shares of Dole
Food Co. DOLE+22.16%
jumped 22% after David H. Murdock, the company’s chairman and CEO, made
a bid for the rest of Dole. Murdock controls almost 40% of Dole Food,
and the $12-per-share cash offer represents an 18% premium to Dole
Food’s closing price on Monday of $10.20 per share.Shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc.LULU+0.03%
tumbled 18% a day after the yoga-clothing retailer announced quarterly
results and said its Chief Executive Christine Day will step
down.Shares of Sprint Nextel Corp. S+2.37% rose 2.4% after SoftBank Corp. said it would raise its offer for Sprint to $21.6 billion from $20.1 billion.
