Post No. 2,343 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 Friday at 14810.31 down 30.64 or 0.21% from Thursday's close of 148840.95. For the week the Dow is down 200.2 or 1.33% from last Friday's close of 15010.51. Of the Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Procter & Gamble up 58 cents and percentage-wise was Walmart up 0.76% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing down $1.01 and percentage-wise was Alcoa down 1.41%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.48 up from Thursday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.46 (last year it was 14.41); Friday's opening P/E estimate is 13.53 unchanged from Thursday's opening P/E estimate of 13.53 (year ago it was 12.52) and Friday's opening dividend yield is 2.49 down from Thursday's opening dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.64). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1928.54 down 4.99 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1933.53. 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 $64.28 down 14 cents from Thursday's average of $64.42. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $66.29 (DIS/UNH) up 8 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $66.76. 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 lost $499 ($193,253 - $192,854 ) .
MarketWatch 8/30/13 Fri. 4:18 pm by Kate Gibson U.S. stocks declined on Friday, with the Dow industrials and
S&P 500 recording their worst month since May 2012, as Wall Street
considered a possible U.S. strike against Syria.“The only variable that really matters is the possibility of a Syrian
intervention. A portion of the volatility we saw this week was certainly
related to news flow regarding the Middle East,” said Lawrence
Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors.
‘Skeleton crews are manning the trading desks. I wouldn’t trust this week’s moves too much. It’s like a household when the parents are away, and teenagers are running the show.’
Lawrence Creatura, Federated Investors
Meeting with the presidents of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, President
Barack Obama on Friday afternoon called the use of chemical weapons a
“challenge to the world.”The president’s words followed the release of U.S. intelligence that
found the Syrian government to be behind a chemical attack that killed
1,429 people in a suburb of Damascus.“It’s really going to be dependent upon what happens over the next few
days, if Obama can take enough of a break from the Labor Day holiday to
launch some rockets against Syria, then it becomes more interesting,”
said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners LLC. In a nationally televised statement Friday afternoon, U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry condemned the “indiscriminate and inconceivable horror
of chemical weapons,” while outlining Washington’s case against the
Syrian government in a deadly attack in Syria last week. Major indexes tallied weekly and monthly losses.“We’ve had a strong run this year and we are entering a seasonally
treacherous time of year. Historically, Autumn and the months of
September and October specifically, can be treacherous and unforgiving,”
said Creatura.
Up 13% for the year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.21%
on Friday declined as much as 78 points, but closed down 30.64 points,
or 0.2%, to 14,810.31, a level that left it with a 1.3% drop on the week
and down 4.5% for the month.Consumer discretionary fed sector declines and consumer staples and
utilities were the only advancing sectors among the 10 major industry
groups on the S&P 500 index
SPX
-0.32%
, which lost 5.21 points, or 0.3%, to 1,632.96, down 1.8% for the week
and off 3.1% for the month. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
-0.84%
fell 30.43 points, or 0.8%, to 3,589.86. It slid 1.9% for the week and 1% for the month. For every stock advancing, more than two declined on the New York Stock
Exchange, where 768 million shares traded. Composite volume approached
2.7 billion. “This could be one of the lowest volume days this year. A lot of folks
are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for direction,” said Pavlik.

MarketWatch 8/29/13 Thurs. 4:38 pm by Kate Gibson U.S. stocks on Thursday climbed for a second day, denting weekly losses, as better-than-expected economic reports trumped the belief that the data increase odds that the Federal Reserve will scale back bond purchases next month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.11% ended at 14,840.95, up 16.44 points, or 0.1%. It had initially dropped 32 points and had risen nearly 92 points.The S&P 500 index SPX +0.20% added 3.21 points, or 0.2%, to 1,638.17, with telecommunications and consumer discretionary the best performing and energy and utilities the sole laggards among its 10 major industry groups.The U.S. economy climbed at a more rapid pace in the second quarter than previously believed, with gross domestic product up 2.5% at an annual rate in the April to June period instead of the initial read of 1.7%, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce.“The stock people are torn between two things. The GDP going up would normally push stocks higher, but this is the last GDP report that prints before the Fed meets again,” said Chuck Butler, president, EverBank World Markets.The price of crude retreated from the highest level in more than two years amid reports that a military strike against Syria might not be imminent. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, oil futures for October deliveryCLV3 -1.76% falling $1.30, or 1.2%, at $108.80 a barrel.“The markets have put it (Syria) on the back burner today. One of the reasons why is the prime minister of the U.K. said an immediate strike against Syria is not imminent,” said Butler, who believes crude will “eventually settle back down to the high” $90 a barrel level.Energy stocks had led the broad market higher Wednesday as the price of oil hit a two-year high above $110 on concerns over Syria.Thursday’s economic reports included the government’s count of those applying for jobless benefits, with the number falling by 6,000 to 331,000 last week, with the four-week moving average up 750 at 331,250, a level that has it near its lowest since late 2007.Shares of Verizon Communications Inc. VZ +0.18% paced blue-chip gains, up 2.7%, after Vodafone Group PLC VOD -0.47% said the companies were in negotiations over their Verizon Wireless venture. Vodafone’s U.S. shares surged 8.1%.Off the Dow, Guess Inc. GES -0.28% shares leapt nearly 13% after the apparel retailerreported second-quarter profit that beat expectations.The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.75%gained 26.95 points, or 0.8%, to 3,620.30.For every five stocks falling, roughly eight rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 546 million shares traded. Composite volume approached 2.5 billion.Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, a critic of the Fed’s third round of asset purchases, said Thursday afternoon that a “good case can be made” for reducing the Fed’s bond-purchase program, given improvements in the labor market.The dollar DXY +0.65% gained against the currencies of major U.S.trading partners, including the yen USDJPY +0.70% and the euro EURUSD -0.76% . Gold futures GCZ3 -0.73%fell $5.90, or 0.4%, to end at $1,412.90 an ounce.Longer-term Treasury prices rose, with the yield on the 10-year note 10_YEAR +0.04%used in figuring mortgage rates and other consumer loans down 1 basis point at 2.761%.“The 10-year notes made a good recovery from early losses in the face of the stronger-than-expected GDP revision. I’m thinking the bond market is finally ready for the long awaited tapering,” Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., noted in afternoon commentary.“However, the action in the interest-sensitive sectors such as utilities, REITs [real estate investment trusts] and housing are mixed,” Spar added.
