Post No. 2,245 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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14910.14 up 149.83 or 1.02% from Tuesday's close of 14760.31. Of the Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up $2.06 or 2.09%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down 23 cents and percentage-wise was Alcoa down 2.15%.
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 16.05 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.02 (last year it was 13.81); today's P/E estimate is 13.35 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.35 (year ago it was 12.15) and today's dividend yield is 2.47 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.49 (last year it was 2.67). 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 1941.54 up 19.51 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1922.03. 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 $64.72 up 65 cents from Tuesday's average of $64.07. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.00 (DIS/UNH) up 65cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $63.35. 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 $1,951 ($194,154 -$192,203).
Wednesday MarketWatch 4:18 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks jumped Wednesday, pulling benchmark indexes
into positive terrain for the week, as a revision in economic growth
calmed concern about U.S. monetary policy.Gross domestic product expanded 1.8% from January through March, down from an earlier estimate of 2.4%, the Commerce Department reported.“The downward revision makes some investors feel that perhaps tapering
isn’t as imminent as it appeared last week,” said Stuart Freeman, chief
equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, referring to market concerns
that the Federal Reserve might scale back its $85 billion in monthly
bond purchases sooner rather than later.“That’s speculation, because if the Fed is seeing more growth ahead, it
may not have been a surprise to them that it was a downward revision,”
added Freeman.Speaking on Bloomberg television Wednesday, Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond President Jeffrey Lacker called the 1.8% GDP figure consistent
with his outlook, and said the central bank was not anywhere near to
making cuts in its balance sheet.Making its 14th triple-digit move out of 18 sessions in June, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+1.02%
jumped as much as 178 points, and finished with a gain of 149.83 points, or 1%, at 14,910.14, with Boeing Co.
BA
+2.11%
pacing gains that included all but three of the Dow’s 30 components.The S&P 500
SPX
+0.96%
climbed 15.23 points, or 1%, to 1,603.26, with health care and utilities leading the gains among its 10 major industry groups.The gains come on “continued momentum from markets, having been really
battered over the last five days or so,” said Mark Luschini, chief
investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.The S&P 500 remains roughly 70 points below “where we peaked in late
May,” said Luschini of the 1,669 close on May 21, a day before Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed could begin reducing its monetary
easing later this year so long as the economy is strong enough.The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.85%
added 28.34 points, or 0.9%, to 3,376.22.For every stock falling, more than three gained on the New York Stock
Exchange, where nearly 745 million shares traded. Composite volume
approached 3.5 billion.Gold futures for August delivery
GCQ3
-3.91%
fell $45.20, or 3.6%, to $1,229.80 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Gold offers “no cash flow and no dividends,” said Freeman, who added
that a rising dollar and interest rates also present a bearish case for
the metal.“On Feb. 15, we advocated stepping out of gold at $1,600 an ounce,” said
Luschini, who argued that the commodity now has a cost to carry, given
there are positive real interest rates being offered in the bond market.

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 14760.31 up 100.75 or 0.69% from Monday's close of 14659.56. For the year the Dow is up 12.6%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth down 92 cents or 1.42%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks catch a break" by Dan Strumpf says US stocks rallied recovering from some of their recent losses as positive economic data & comments from central bankers injected some calm into markets. Bank of America and Verizon paced advances in 26 of 30 components.
FT p24 "Vanguard deal elevates health sector amid sharp falls in stocks" by Jason Abbruzzese says deal news provided one of the bright spots for US stocks and Tent will buy Vanguard. UnitedHealth Group, Microsoft and Johnson & Johnson were the 3 strongest Dow stocks up 1.2, 1.3 and 1.7% respectively.
NYT pB9 "Housing numbers reassure investors" by Reuters says stocks rose by the most in nearly 2 weeks Tues after data showed biz investment & the housingr ecovery continued apace, reassuring investors worried about the Fed's plans to reduce its huge monetary stimulus.
IBD pB4 "Stocks rise, but vol shows lukewarm buying" by Jaun Carlos Arancibia says the stock market got a respite from seller Tues although it is still pretty well pinned down as indexes rose but in light volume and the market is in correction.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1922.03 up 13.12 from Monday's closing numerator of 1908.91. 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 $64.07 up 44 cents from Monday's average of $63.63. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.35 (DIS/UNH) down 20 cents from Monday's median closing price of $63.55. The lowest volume was TRV and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
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 made $1,312 ($192,203 - $190,891).
Tuesday MarketWatch 4:34 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose sharply on Tuesday as Wall Street cheered
upbeat economic data showing increases in durable-goods orders, new-home
sales and consumer confidence.“For the first time in this current cycle, we’ve looked at good economic
data as good news. If we continue to get the market reacting positively
to good economic data, we’ve gotten to the place we should be,” said
Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets LLC.
“If we can continue to root for good news in the economic-data stream,
that’s going to be a major transition” from worrying about what the
reports mean for U.S. monetary policy, Hogan added.
“Good news for the economy should be good news for investors and this
report is good,” emailed Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG
LLC, referring to the durable-goods report.
Another report from the Commerce Department had new-home sales rising 2.1% last month. Separately, the S&P/Case-Shiller index of home values rose 12.1% in April from a year earlier, the biggest jump in more than seven years. The Conference Board’s consumer-confidence index rose to 81.4
