Post No. 2,304 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 15499.54 down 21.05 or 0.14% from Tuesday's close of 15520.59. Of the Dow components 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M up 68 cents and percentage-wise was Disney up 0.73% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express down $1.42 or 1.89%.
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 16.69 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.66 (last year it was 14.21); today's P/E estimate is 13.90 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.90 (year ago it was 12.45) and today's dividend yield is 2.37 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.37 (last year it was 2.58). The Dow's all-time high was 15,567.74 on July 23, 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 2018.29 down 2.74 from Tuesday's losing numerator of 2021.03. 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 $67.28 down 7 cents from Tuesday's average of $67.37. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $68.75 (DIS/UNH) up 42 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $68.23. 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 $274 ($202,103 - $201,829).
MarketWatch 7/31/13 Wed. 4:01 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday finished little changed after the Federal Reserve offered few clues on potential changes to its monetary policy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.14% fell 21.05 points, or 0.1%, to 15,499.54, after rising as high as 15,634.32, clearing intraday and closing records reached last week. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.01% lost a fraction to 1,685.73, after rising to an intraday high of 1,698.44, putting it above its record close and a fraction below its intraday record of 1,698.78. "The S&P 500 continues to knock on the door at 1,700 without much luck. Eventually we think this psychological resistance will be taken out, triggering a small rally to the 1,735 to 1,765 area," wrote Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, in emailed commentary. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.27% advanced 9.9 points, or 0.3%, to 3,626.37.

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 & amp; amp; 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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 15520.59 down 1.38 or 0.01% from Monday's close of 15521.97. For the year the Dow is up 18.44%.

NYT pB9 "Market closes tightly mixed after day of wary trading" by AP says Wall St lacked direction Tues as it awaited the week's main economic news & the stock market wandered between slight gains & losses before closing barely higher.
FT p20 Pfizer boosted by strong earnings as pharmas support S&P 500" by Jason Abbruzzese says Pfixer and Merck highlighted the mixed earnings season as Pfizer reported 2Q earnings that beat estimates while Merck missed expectations on rev and earnings per share.
IBD pB4 "nasdaq posts new high but S&P only breaks even" by Paul Whitfield says stocks were flat to up in rising vol Tes as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2021.03 down 0.18 from Monday's losing numerator of 2021.21. 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 $67.37 unchanged from Monday's average of $67.373.

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 $18 ($202,121- $202,103).
MarketWatch 7/30/13 Tues. 4:28 pm by Kate Gibson & Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks ended slightly higher on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite positioned for its best monthly performance since January 2012, as investors mostly adopted a cautious tone a day ahead of a monetary-policy decision from the Federal Reserve. Of the 304 companies that have reported earnings results for the second quarter, 201 have beaten estimates, 76 have missed, and 27 have met, producing a a beat rate of 66%, above the historical average, according to research by Christine Short, an associate director S&P Capital IQ. “Earnings so far are better than expected, but we haven’t seen much in the way of revenue figures,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners LLC. What’s News: J.P. Morgan agrees to pay $410 million to regulators to settle allegations of electricity market manipulation. President Obama to offer ‘grand bargain’ on corporate taxes and jobs. Pfizer’s profits quadruple; Merck’s profits halved. All workers found after Florida plant blast. After a 72-point gain and a 43-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.0089% ended off 1.38 points at 15,520.59. Pfizer Inc. PFE +0.44% rose 0.4% after the drug maker and Dow component posted second-quarter results. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.04% advanced nearly 1 point to 1,685.96, with technology leading sector gains and telecommunications falling hardest. The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP +0.48% climbed 17.33 points, or 0.5%, to 3,616.47, with the technology laden index up 6.3% for July, on track for its best monthly performance since January 2012. Advancers pulled just ahead of decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 678 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.3 billion. On Monday, composite volume on the Nyse came in just under 2.8 billion, the seventh lowest volume day so far this year.
The
solid housing recovery is supporting further gains in home prices,
according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller report released
Tuesday.“People are a little skeptical here, there’s a pattern that is
raising questions for the overall market, whether we can continue the
trend of gains without any kind of give back,” said Pavlik, referring to
a market that is up 18% for the year. The dollar DXY +0.15% gained against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners and the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR -0.08% held flat at 2.604%. Oil futures CLU3 -1.42% dropped $1.47, or 1.4%, to $103.08 a barrel and gold pricesGCZ3 -0.24% declined $4.80, or 0.4%, to $1,325.80 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Community Heath Systems Inc. CYH -3.49% fell 3.5% after the for-profit hospital operator said it would buy competitor Health Management Associates Inc. HMA -10.86% for $3.9 billion. Shares of Health Management Associates slid nearly 11% after the company said it had received more subpoenas from regulators seeking information about its doctor relationships and some of its emergency-room operations.
