7/21/13 Sun/Sat Caterpillar Reports Wed

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,286  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  ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of July 14, 2013 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 7/14/13.


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; &Sunday's & Saturday's  New York Times &  Atlanta Journal & amp; Constitution    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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 15543.74 down 4.8 or 0.03%  from Thursday's close of 15548.74.  For the week the Dow was up  79.44 or 0.51 % is up from last Friday's close of 15464.30. For the year the Dow is up 18.62% Of the Dow components  14   gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise  was Johnson & Johnson up $2.06 and percentage-wise was GE up 4.61% .  The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $.45 and percentage-wise was American Microsoft  down 11.4%.

IBD pB8 "Stocks keep to mixed tone as Nasdaq falls, S&P rises" by Paul Whitfield says stocks struggled Fri as several weak quarterlyr eports cont'd to shake the bulls and slap the Nasdaq with distribution.

Sat. WSJ pB5 "S&P 500 hits peak despite tech's woes" by Matt jarzemsky says the S&P hit a record high even as disappointing results from Microsoft & Google weighed on other tech stocks.


As of the close  of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6   of    Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's  closing  trailing P/E ratio was  16.75 down   from Friday's   opening  trailing P/E ratio of 16.85 (last year it was 14.31);  Friday's  closing P/E estimate was  13.55 unchanged   from Friday's  opening  P/E estimate of 13.55  (year ago it was 12.35) and Friday's   closing dividend yield was 2.36 down   from Friday's  opening  dividend yield of 2.39  (last year it was 2.65). The Dow's all-time high was 15,548.54  on July 18, 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 2024.04 down 0.65 from Thursday's losing numerator of 2024.69. 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 $67.47 down 2 cents    from Thursday's average of $67.49.  The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $68.31   (DIS/UNH) up 12 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $68.19. 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 made $65   ($202,404 - $202,467 ).
