Post No. 2,271 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 Thursday at 15460.92 up 169.26 or 1.11% from Wednesday's close of 15291.66. Of the Dow components all 30 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies up $1.95 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 2.84% .
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.71 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.72 (last year it was 14.16); today's P/E estimate is 13.55 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 13.55 (year ago it was 12.15) and today's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.66). The Dow's all-time high was 15,460.92 on July 11, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2013.26 up 12.04 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1991.22. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $67.11 up 74 cents from Wednesday's average of $66.37. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $67.47 (DIS/UNH) up $1.17down 14 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $66.30. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Thursday 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 $1,204 ($201,329 - $199,122).
Thursday MarketWatch 4:24 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks leapt Thursday, with the S&P 500 up for a
sixth day and setting a record finish, after Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke said the Fed would remain accommodative.The Fed chairman “didn’t say anything new, but he did remind us we have a
dual mandate, and neither one is close right now,” said Art Hogan,
market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets, referring to the Fed’s
employment and inflation targets.“We’re firmly entrenched in the belief that the Fed is going to taper at
some point in time, but not if the economic data is getting worse,”
Hogan added.Replying to a question following a speech in Cambridge, Mass., Bernanke
said on Wednesday that “highly accommodative monetary policy for the
foreseeable future is what’s needed.”Bernanke’s comments Wednesday followed the release of minutes from
the central bank’s last meeting, which had about half of the 19 members
of the Federal Open Market Committee looking to cut the Fed’s $85
billion in monthly bond purchases by the end of the year. The record
also had many Fed officials looking for further evidence of improvement
in the labor market before opting to cut the Fed’s quantitative-easing
program.Labor Department figures released Thursday showed first-time jobless claims rising last week by 16,000 to a two-month high of 360,000.“The three-week moving average is still around 350,000, so we still have
bumpy but steady improvement. Also, July has a boatload of seasonality
in it,” said Hogan of a month that includes the Fourth of July holiday
and seasonal vehicle plant closures.DJIA

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog:
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 & 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 15291.66 down 8.68 or 0.06% from Tuesday's close of 15330.34. For the year the Dow is up 16.69%. Of the Dow components 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up 95 cents and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 1.81% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express down $1.28 or 1.65%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks seesaw around Fed minutes" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks ended the day barely changed after the Fed's latest policy setting meeting minutes showed a divide among officials over when to aid stimulus.
NYT pB5 "Investors parse Fed report and a 4 day rally fizzles" by Reuters says the Dow interrupted a 4 day rally as investors tried to gauge when the Fed will scale back its economic stimulus.
FT p22 "S&P 500 stages last minute rally to notch up fifth day of gains" by jason Abbruzzese says the S&P eked out a gain after the Fed Open Market Comm minutes were released and Hewlett-Packard added 1.8% after Citi boosted its rating on it.
AJC pA13 "Fed minutes leave stocks flat" by AP says the stock market ended the day little changed after the publication of minutes from the Fed's June meeting.
IBD pB2 "Techs lift nasdaq higher in otherwise dull trading" by David Saito-Chung says the nasdaq pushed ever closer to a new multiyear high with a decent gain Tues while the other major indexes settled for a flat finish as the market is still in a correction.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1991.22 down 1.13 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1992.35. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $66.37 down 4 cents from Tuesday's average of $66.41. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $66.30 (DIS/UNH) down 14 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $66.44. 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 havelost $113 ($199,235 - $199,122).
Wednesday MarketWatch 4:28 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended little changed on Wednesday after minutes
from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting had multiple members looking
for more improvement in the labor market before cutting the pace of
central-bank bond purchases.
Wednesday's Closing Dow Numbers:
****************
Here are the current CEOs of the Dow 30 Companies:
“It’s
exactly in line with what the Fed has been telling us: we’re going
to monitor the situation,” said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD
Ameritrade.“Everyone was hoping they could read something into the
minutes, but
when the Fed board themselves are so divided on what the next plan
should be, the market can’t read anything into it” with certainty, he
said.The official record showed about half of the Fed’s 19 senior
officials
said they would support ending the central bank’s monthly purchase of
$85 billion in bonds by year-end. “Many” other members said asset
purchases would likely be needed into 2014.“You basically had a split
ticket,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney
Montgomery Scott.“We’ve had so many positive days in a row without any
real news, so the
market seems vulnerable to some profit taking, or to rest,” said
Luschini.Snapping a four-session winning run, its longest in more than
two months, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
