Post No. 2,316 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 Wednesday at 15470.67 down 48.07 or 0.31% from Tuesday's close of 15518.74. Of the Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies up 83 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 1.53% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.43 and percentage-wise was Disney down 1.7%.
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 trailing P/E ratio is 16.68 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.78 (last year it was 14.35); today's P/E estimate is 13.90 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.90 (year ago it was 12.55) and today's dividend yield is 2.37 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.35 (last year it was 2.55). 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 2014.53 down 6.26 from Tuesday's losing numerator of 2020.79. 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 $67.15 down 21 cents from Tuesday's average of $67.36. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $69.42 (DIS/UNH) down 73 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $70.15. 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 have lost $626 ($203,208 - $201,453).
MarketWatch 8/7/13 Wed. 4:29 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday fell for a third day, as uncertainty over the timing of cuts in the Federal Reserve’s monthly bond buys had equities retreating from recent highs. “Even raging bull markets get 10% to 15% pullbacks along the way,” so a retreat that this week has stocks down about 1% is unremarkable, given the market’s double-digit rise so far this year, said Doug Foreman, co-chief investment officer at Kayne Anderson Rudnick.
Off session lows that had it down 97 points, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average DJIA -0.31% closed down
48.07 points, or 0.3%, at 15,470.67. The Dow ended last week at an all-time high of 15,658.36.
Bank of America Corp.BAC -0.75% was among the
blue-chip decliners, off 0.8%, a day after the Justice Department filed suit
against the bank for allegedly misleading investors about loans linked to
mortgage-backed securities. Also weighing on the Dow, Walt Disney Co.DIS -1.70% declined 1.7%
after the entertainment company reported fiscal third-quarter profit little
changed from the year-ago period. The S&P 500 index SPX -0.38% shed 6.46
points, or 0.4%, to 1,690.91, with consumer discretionary falling hardest among
its sectors. The S&P 500 on Friday closed at a record 1,709.67.
“We’ve enjoyed a strong seasonal tailwind the last few
months that’s going to turn into a headwind in what is typically a weak season
for stocks. Plus, corporate earnings for the second quarter were basically
flat,” said Bittles. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.32% declined 11.76
points, or 0.3%, to 3,654.01. For every share gaining, two fell on the New York Stock
Exchange, where 629 million shares traded. Composite volume surpassed 3 billion. The market’s retreat is “attributable to comments made
yesterday by [Fed Bank of Chicago President] Charles Evans regarding the
possibility of tapering beginning in September,” said Matthew Kaufler, portfolio
manager at Federated Investors. “There’s a certain contingent in the market that
doesn’t want to see quantitative easing end, and thinks QE is the primary pillar
that the market is resting on,” he noted.
The S&P 500 index
declined 0.6% on Tuesday after Evans said the central bank could start
easing its asset buys as soon as September. Steven Russolillo takes a look at three stocks traders will be watching
during market action, including First Solar, Zillow and Tesla Motors. “I personally would be very pleased once tapering begins
and hopefully continues to its proper conclusion. As a largely capitalistic
society, we want our institutions to stand on their own two feet, so the quicker
we can get back to that, the better off we’ll be,” Kaufler added. The market is overbought after a six-week run higher, but
much of the fretting over the Fed’s monetary moves is already priced in, which
is ”why this decline shouldn’t carry that far,” said Bruce Bittles, chief
investment strategist at R.W. Baird & Co.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & amp; 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 15518.74 down 93.39 or 0.60% from Monday's close of 15612.13. For the year the Dow is up 18.43%. Of the Dow components 6 gained and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Disney up $1.03 or 1.56% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM down $4.51 or 2.31%.
WSJ pC4 "Investors brace for hard fall" by Kaitlyn Kiernan says US stocks fell the most since June after 2 Fed res officials indicated it could begin reducing its easy program as soon as next month. IBM led Dow decliners after Credit Suisse downgraded it to "underperform."
IBD pB4 "Rally goes under pressure as Nasdq sells off again" by David Saito-Chung says honmebuilding, gold mining, biotech & a few stocks within the retail sector got smacked Tus as the market declined broadly in higher vol. The current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
FT p20 "Monsanto leads materials sector lower amid broad-based sell-off" by Jason Abbruzzese says the materials sector led a sell off in US equity Tues as investors fled growth focused stocks. Big US banks which have fared well in '13 were sold off broadly with JPMorgan ooff 1.1% & Bank of America off 1.1%. IBM was the hardest hit of the Dow as it was downgraded to underperform from neutral.
NYT pB8 "Anxiety about Fed further deflates market" by Reuters says the stock market slid for a 2nd day Tues after Fed Res officials made comments about a possible reduction in its ecomomic stimulus program.
AJC pA13 "Stocks fall on weak retailers" by AP says IBM lost 2% following reports it would require some workers to take time off this month as hardware sales slow.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2020.79 down 12.16 from Monday's losing numerator of 2032.95. 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 $67.36 down 40 cents from Monday's average of $67.76. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $70.15 (DIS/UNH) up 47 cents from Monday's median closing price of $69.68. The lowest volume was 3M 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 $1,216 ($203,295 - $202,208).
MarketWatch
8/6/13 Tues. 4:20 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks extended losses
into a second day Tuesday as
Federal Reserve official Charles Evans said the economy should be able
to shoulder reduced Fed asset purchases later this year.“It’s more of
this taper tempest that we seem to go into. The market
gets a little confused; it seems fine as long as the talk around taper
is around data, but it gets flustered when you talk about the calendar,”
said Jim Dunigan, managing executive for investments at PNC Wealth
Management. “There appears to be a lot on our plates as we get into fall
season,
with budget talks, a new Fed chair and the debt ceiling, which might
lead the market to churn here a bit,” said Dunigan, who added that the
market has reached an inflection point, given its “fairly significant
upside performance,” with the S&P 500 up 19% so far this
year.After falling 139 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.60%
shed 93.39 points, or 0.6%, to end at 15,518.74, with International Business Machine Corp.

SPX
-0.57%
fell 9.77 points, or 0.6%, to 1,697.37, with materials pacing broad sector declines. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP

Exchange, where 658 million shares traded. Composite volume cleared 3.1

Separately, job openings rose to 3.94 million in June from 3.91 million in May, the U.S. Department of Labor reported.
Stock bargains are growing scarcer. One way to find relative
bargains is to search among companies that have lagged behind the
market’s recent rally, but which look likely to catch up in coming
quarters. Jack Hough of Barron's has details. Photo: Getty Images.“If
exports are improving, things in Europe seem to be getting better,
so maybe it’s coming out of recession, and maybe China isn’t as bad as
the headlines would suggest,” said PNC’s Dunigan. Results from retailers
also disappointed investors, with American Eagle Outfitters Inc.

WPO
+4.27%
for $250 million. Shares of the Post, 28% of which is owned by Warren
Buffett, gained 4.3%. Evans, president of the Chicago Fed, expects
growth in the second half
of the year to pick up to an annual rate of 2.5% and climb above 3% next
year. The central bank could then taper its asset purchases in several
stages, and likely end them by mid-2014, said Evans,
who is a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee.“We will
hear more of this type of talk from Fed members as they do
their verbal best to soften the market impact of a growing likelihood of
a fall taper,” emailed Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at the
Lindsey Group. Evans spoke to reporters in Chicago after Dennis
Lockhart, president of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, told Market News International the Fed could start curtailing its bond-buying program at any of the three remaining FOMC meetings this year.U.S. stocks finished mostly lower on Monday
after a better-than-expected report on services-sector growth and
remarks by Dallas Fed Bank President Richard Fisher that the central
bank is closer to tapering its bond purchases.
