Post No. 2,250 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 Monday's Barron's & Investor's Business Daily; the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times; Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 14909.60 down 114.89 or 0.76% from Thursday's close of 15024.49. For the week the Dow was up 110.2 or 0.74% from last Friday's close of 14799.4. For the year the Dow is up 13.8%. Of the Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $1.20 or 1.57%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM down $4.62 or 2.36%.
IBD pB8 "Volume surges near close; indexes stay under 50 day" by Paul Whitfield says stocks sold off ahrd in the final 20 minutes of trade Fri keeping both major indexes below their 50 day average as the action was mixed in higher vol and the market is still in a correction.
Sat. WSJ pB5 "Dow sinks but ends volatile 3 months up 2.3%" by Matt jarzemsky says the Dow slid on Fri. capping a quarter marked by heightened volatility as investors positioned themselves for an era of less Fed res support for fin'l markets.
Sat. NYT pB4 "A calm close to a volatile month" & Sat. AJC pA10 "Stocks fall in quiet end to month" by Bernard Condon, AP says after flitting between tiny gains & losses most of Fri, the market closed mostly lower, a peaceful end fro the most volatile month in nearly 2 years.
As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B11 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's closing trailing P/E ratio is 16.29 down from Friday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 16.42 (last year it was 14.19); Friday's closing P/E estimate is 13.42 up from Friday's opening P/E estimate of 13.35 (year ago it was 12.19) and Friday's closing dividend yield is 2.45 up from Friday's opening dividend yield of 2.45 (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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1941.47 down 14.96 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1956.43. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.71 down 50 cents from Thursday's average of $65.21. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.32 (DIS/UNH) down 59 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $64.91. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Friday 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 $1,496 ($195,643 - $194,147).
