6/20/13 Thurs. am Bank of America, JPMorgan Note Meeting Standards of Mortgage Settlement

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,234  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 recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.

A read of the print editions of  Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & Constitution &amp 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 15112.19 down  0.91% from Tuesday's close of 15318.23. For the year the Dow is up 15.32%. Of the Dow components all 30  declined.   The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.93  and percentage-wise was down 2.54%.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks taper off from recent gains" by E. S. Browning says stocks declined after Ben Bernanke repeated his May comments that the Fed could trim the size of its monthly debt purchases.

USAT p1B "Fed shift rattles amrkets" by Adam Shell says stocks sold off Wed after Bernanke said it might start dialing down its bond buying program later this year.

IBD pB2 "Stocks fall in higher trade; utilities, reits hammered" by David Saito-Chung says stocks bactracked in heavier volume after Bernanke said the Fed's qe program may end.  The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB1 "Stocks slide on fears of cuts to Fed's bond buying program" by nathaniel Popper says stocks fell due to Bernanke's comments about ending QE.

FT p22 "Sprint Nextel retreats after Dish decides to walk awayf rom bid" by Jason Abbruzzese says US indices fell after the fed said it may taper its QE.

AJC pA11 "Markets sink on Fed news" by AP says fin'l markets shuddered Wed after the Fed said it could start scaling back its stimulus program this year and end it in '14.

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 16.51 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.74 (last year it was 14.13); today's P/E estimate is 13.62 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 13.62 (year ago it was 12.05) and today's dividend yield is 2.41 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.3840 (last year it was 2.60). 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 1967.85 down 26.83  from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1994.68. 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 $65.59 down 90 cents from Tuesday's average of $66.49. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.30   (DIS/UNH) down $1.19 from Tuesday's median closing price of $65.49. The lowest volume was TRV  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   $2,683 ($199,467 - $196,785 ).

Wednesday MarketWatch 4:03 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks  fell sharply and Treasury yields surged as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank may scale back its bond purchases depending on the economic outlook. "The market was looking for some kind of commitment of no tapering, and he (Bernanke) is saying the labor market is improving," said Joe Heider, principal at Rehmann Financial in Westlake, Ohio. Extending its streak of triple-digit moves into a seventh session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.35% fell 206.04 points, or 1.4%, at 15,112.19. The S&P 500 indexSPX -1.39% lost 22.88 points, or 1.4%, to 1,628.93. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.12% declined 38.98 points, or 1.1%, to 3,443.20. The 10-year note yield rose to 2.33%, its highest since March 2012.
