Post No. 2,327 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 as of August 21, 2013 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of August 21, 2013.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14897.55 DOWN 105.44 OR 0.70% from Tuesday's close of 15002.99. Of the Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart up 32 cents or 0.44% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson down 93 cents and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard down 1.78%.
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 opening trailing P/E ratio is 16.33 down from yesterday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 16.37 (last year it was 13.98); today's opening P/E estimate is 13.66 unchanged from Tuesday's opening P/E estimate of 13.66 (year ago it was 12.64) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.47 unchanged from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.47 (last year it was 2.54). The Dow's all-time high was 15,658.36 on August 2, 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 1939.90 down 13.73 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1953.63. 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 $64.66 down 46 cents from Tuesday's average of $65.12. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $66.50 (DIS/UNH) up 33 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $66.17. 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 lost $1,373 ($195,363 - $193,990) .
MarketWatch 8/21/13 Wed. 4:31 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended sharply lower Wednesday, losing grip on a late-afternoon recovery, as investors weighed the Federal Reserve’s signaling that it remained on course to curb its monthly bond purchases by the end of the year.
Fed officials are “broadly comfortable” with Chairman Ben
Bernanke’s plan to begin reducing the asset buying later this year so long as
the economy improves, with a few Federal Open Market Committee members
indicating tapering might be called for soon, according to the minutes
released Wednesday afternoon. “The market has not fully backed in the prospect of it
actually occurring in September,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment
strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. Extending losses into a sixth session, the Dow
industrials /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA -0.70% fell as much
as 122.15 points in the immediate of the Fed release, only to repeal those
losses and then resume them. Finishing below 15,000 for the first time since
July 3, the Dow ended at 14,897.55, down 105.44 points, or 0.7%. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.58% lost 9.55
points, or 0.6%, to 1,642.80, with utilities and telecommunications the worst
performing of its major sectors, all of which closed lower.
The expectation voiced
by Bernanke in June that the central bank would curb its $85 billion in
monthly bond purchases by year-end has upended global markets, especially
hitting emerging markets, which had gained significantly from the increased
liquidity.
Views that Federal Open Market Committee would signal a
September taper hit currencies including the Turkish lira and Indian rupee,
which declined to a record low. “I’m inclined to think it’s going to come in September,
but it’s also going to be tapering lite,” said Luschini, who now put the odds of
the reduced asset purchases coming next month at 60% to 70%. “Net-net, the market remains jittery, and will trade from
economic-data point to economic-data point. The big one is going to be the labor
report that comes out before the next Fed meeting,” he added of the monthly
nonfarm payrolls report.
Benchmark 10-year Treasury
yields 10_YEAR +2.62% leapt 8 basis
point to 2.895%. Staples Inc.SPLS -15.29% fell 15%
after the office-supply retailer reported
disappointing results and trimmed its 2013 earnings and revenue forecasts. Lowe’s Cos Inc.LOW +3.92% rallied 3.9%
after the home-improvement chain reported a larger-than-estimated rise in
quarterly profit and sales and hiked its yearly outlook. Shares of Target Corp.TGT -3.61% slipped 3.6%
after the discount retailer reported a drop in second-quarter profit. Wednesday's Closing Dow Numbers:

The following are excerpts from Wednesday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's News Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & amp; Constitution & Daily Report (Georgia - 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 15002.99 down 7.75 or 0.05% from Monday's close of 15010.74. For the year the Dow is up 14.49%. Of the Dow components 14 gained, DuPont was unchanged and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was UnitedHealth up 75 cents and percentage-wise was Intel up 1.09% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot down 92 cents or 1.22%.
WSJ pC4 "Retailers give lift to stocks" by Matt Jarzemsky says the S&P snapped a 4 day streak of losses as a handful of retailers had better thane expected earnings & investors waited to hear more on the future of the Fed's easy monetary policy.
FT p20 "Best Buy biggest gainer as retailers put S&P 500 on steadier ground" by Jason Abbruzzese says retailers led the S&P higher.
IBD pB4 "Nasdaq, S&P 500 bounce as retailers, builders lead" by Juan Carlos arancibia says the stock market had a bounce Tues. The current outlook is the market is in corrrection. Leaders down in volume included Home Depot.
AJC pA10 "Gains for S&P, Nasdaq" by AP says better results from Best Buy & other retailers helped the stock market close mostly higher Tues but the Dow fell.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1953.63 down 1.01 from Monday's closing numerator of 1954.64. 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 $65.12 down 3 cents from Monday's average of $65.15. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $67.17 (DIS/UNH) up 40 cents from Monday's median closing price of $66.77. The lowest volume was Travelers 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 lost $101 ($195,464 - 195,363) .
MarketWatch 8/20/13 Tues. 4:20 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Tuesday mostly climbed, with the S&P 500 halting its longest losing streak this year, as retailers including Best Buy Co. beat estimates and as Wall Street looked to clues about future U.S. monetary policy. “There are mixed signals coming into the market right now. Any week that you have Fed minutes being released, the market is going to go on pause until you get the minutes,” Chris Gaffney, senior market strategist at EverBank Financial, said of Wednesday’s release of minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s July 30-31 gathering. Specifically, investors will be looking for clues as to when the Federal Reserve might cut the pace of its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. The asset buying is viewed as aiding the S&P 500’s more than 150% rise from its bear-market low in 2009, with the index hitting a record on Aug. 2, then declining nearly 4% through Monday. “Just how serious is the Fed about pulling back on the bond buying in September? Our own St. Louis Fed head has been warning you don’t want to pull back on those purchases too quickly, and he’s usually a big inflation hawk,” said Gaffney, who believes that while markets are pricing in a September move, it’s more likely to come in December. “I do think [Fed Chairman Ben] Bernanke wants to start the taper on his watch, and with him leaving in January, I think it’s going to start in December,” he added. Gaining after its longest down streak this year, the S&P 500 index SPX +0.38% climbed 6.29 points, or 0.4%, to 1,652.35, with consumer discretionary and financials pacing sector gains. “Good news from Home Depot and Best Buy appear to be giving the stock market” a lift, Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos., said in emailed commentary. Best BuyBBY +13.24% gained 13.2% after the consumer-electronics retailer reported quarterly sales that surpassed estimates.
Urban Outfitters Inc. URBN +8.19% rose 8.2% after Wedbush Securities upgraded its rating on the retailer. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.68% added 24.50 points, or 0.7%, to 3,613.59. The gains contrasted with a sharp selloff in Asia,
where worries about reduced Federal Reserve stimulus hit stocks,
particularly in emerging markets. After briefly slipping below 15,000
for the first time since July 5, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.05% ended
at 15,002.99, down 7.75 points, or 0.1%, extending its losing streak
to five sessions. For every share declining, roughly three gained on
the New York Stock Exchange, where 634 million shares traded. Composite
volume approached 3 billion.
