Post No. 2,335 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 Monday at 14946.46 down 64.05 or 0.43% from Friday's close of 15010.51. Of the Dow components 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble up $1.47 or 1.84%% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot down $1.54 or 2.08%.
As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Monday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.66 up from Friday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.61 (last year it was 14.60); Monday's opening P/E estimate is 13.53 down from Friday's opening P/E estimate of 13.66 (year ago it was 12.52) and Monday's opening dividend yield is 2.47 down from Friday's opening dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.59). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1946.27 down 8.34 from Friday's closing numerator of 1954.61. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.88 down 27 cents from Friday's average of $65.15. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $66.87 (DIS/UNH) down 27 cents from Friday's median closing price of $67.14. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Monday 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 $835 ($195,461- 194,627 ) .
MarketWatch 8/26/13 Mon. 4:27 pm by Kate Gibson & Wallace Witkowski says U.S. stocks closed lower in light volume Monday after Secretary of State John Kerry called Syria’s actions ‘inexcusable’ and a report said the U.S. would hit its debt limit in October. Stocks had been modestly higher after a downbeat U.S. economic report did little to change the belief that the Federal Reserve would likely tighten monetary policy in September. “The market is trying to build in ahead of time” the consensus view that the central bank would begin cutting back on its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases next month, and if not then, in December, Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab, said of Wall Street’s pullback the past three weeks.
Stock indexes fell to session lows after Kerry told a
nationally televised news conference that the United States would hold
Syria’s government accountable for using chemical weapons. “By any standard it
is inexcusable,” said Kerry of last week’s attack that the Syrian opposition
said killed more than 1,300 people. After rising as much as 39 points and falling 65, the Dow
Jones Industrial AverageDJIA -0.43% finished at
14,946.46, down 64.05 points, or 0.4%. The S&P 500 index /quotes/zigman/3870025 SPX -0.40% shed 6.72
points, or 0.4%, to 1,656.78, with telecommunications the worst performing and
health care faring best of its 10 major sectors. The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936 COMP -0.01% was off a
fraction at 3,657.57.
On Monday afternoon, Secretary of State John Kerry gave a statement on the
Syrian government's use of chemical weapons. Watch his full remarks here. Decliners pulled ahead of advancers on the New York Stock
Exchange, where 545 million shares traded. Composite volume surpassed 2.4
billion, or less than 80% of the past month’s average volume. Treasury
prices rose, with the yield on the 10-year note /delayed 10_YEAR +0.07% falling 3 basis
points to 2.788%. The Wall Street Journal cited sources in reporting Monday
afternoon that the
U.S. government would hit the debt limit in mid-October, a more precise
estimate than provided in the past. With the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting in
mid-September and sabre-rattling over Syria, Mark Luschini, chief investment
strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott called a selloff based solely on the
debt-ceiling news -- which has been known about for a while --“misguided,” given
there’s so much more to worry about before then. “It seems to be a bit of an overreaction because it’s so
far away,” said Luschini. “With Congress away, I would have expected the
rhetoric to intensify and give the market something to bite on.” The market’s early action was set by a report on
big-ticket items. Orders for U.S. durable goods fell more than expected last
month, down 7.3% in the largest drop in nearly a year. The decline in bookings for goods
intended to last at least three years is the biggest drop since August 2012
after a 3.9% rise in June, the Commerce Department said. Data showing a steep drop in orders for U.S. factory
goods were “really awful,” Frederick of Schwab added. Trading volume is extraordinarily low, so what had been
tepid climb could also be explained by some bargain hunting by “a few
institutional investors,” Frederick said. Investors are looking at reports on the economy with a
less-than-straight-forward view, given improvement is likely to bring on reduced
monetary easing by the Federal Reserve sooner rather than later. The central bank is expected to begin cutting its $85
billion in monthly bond purchases before the end of the year, with the market
currently debating
whether the move would begin in September or December. “The August market-correction has been driven by tapering
fear and higher interest rates. It appears to us that tapering is now almost
fully discounted, while Treasury yields may have reached a ceiling,” noted
William Riegel, head of equity investment, and Lisa Black, head of global public
fixed-income markets, at TIAA-CREF, in emailed
Biotechnology-firm Amgen Inc. AMGN +7.72% rallied 7.7% a
day after the drug maker agreed to buy Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Pharmaceuticals were up 5.6%. The
dollar DXY +0.00% gained against
the currencies of U.S. trading partners, including the euro /quotes/zigman/4867933/sampled EURUSD +0.02% . After rising 1.9% last week, gold
futures for December delivery GCZ3 +0.60% lost $2.70, or
0.2%, to settle at $1,393.10 an ounce. Gold rose above $1,403 in electronic
trade as stocks turned lower. The price of
oil fell, with crude futures for October delivery CLV3 +0.27% off 50 cents,
or 0.5%, at $105.92 a barrel. Up more than 14% on the year and down 3.6% in August, the
Dow industrials on Friday marked a third consecutive weekly drop, the longest
weekly losing streak since mid-November 2012. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq
Composite gained last week, with the former off 1.7% in August but up 16% for
the year and the latter up 0.9% for the month and 21% year-to-date.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's News Daily, the Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 15010.51 up 46.77 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 14963.74. For the week the Dow was down 70.96 or 0.47% from last Friday's close of 15081.47. For the year the Dow is up 14.55%. Of the Dow components 18 gained, and 2 (Bank of America and GE) were unchanged and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Microsoft up $2.36 or 7.29% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Travelers down 36 cents and percentage-wise was Cisco down 0.62%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks post decent gains; Nasdaq only 1% off high" by Paul Whitfield says stock indexes kept to a tight trading range Friday as it was up in rising volume and the current outlook is the market is in a correction.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1954.61 up 16.09 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1948.52. 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 $65.15 up 20 cents from Thursday's average of $64.95. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $67.14 (DIS/UNH) up 33 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $66.81. 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 $1,609 ($195,461 - $194,852 ) .
MarketWatch 8/23/13 Fri. 4:15 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks ended higher Friday, shaking off early losses after a disappointing existing home sales report, as some investors took the data as a factor that could delay the start of the Federal Reserve's reduced bond purchases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.31% rose nearly 47 points, or 0.3%, to 15,011, helped by a 7.8% rise in Microsoft Corp. /MSFT +0.06% . The S&P 500 SPX +0.40% gained 6.5 points, or 0.4%, to 1,663.5. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.53% rose 19.09 points, or 0.5%, to 3,657.79. The Dow lost less than 1% for the week, its third week of losses, for the longest weekly losing streak of the year. The S&P 500 was up 0.5% for the week, its first up week in three. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.5% for the week.
