Post No. 2,385 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 9/23/13 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 9/23/13.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 15328.20 up 55.04 or 0.36%% from Wednesday's close of 15273.26. Of the Dow components 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $2.00 and percentage-wise was Nike up 2.06% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel down 29 cents or 1.22%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.93 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.99 (last year it was 14.61); Thursday's P/E estimate is 14.25 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 14.25 (year ago it was 12.95) and today's dividend yield is 2.45 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.44 (last year it was 2.51). The Dow's all-time high was 15,676.94 on September 18, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2386.84 up 8.55 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2378.29. 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 (0.15571590501117) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.56 up 28 cents from Wednesday's average of 79.28. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.35 (WMT/HD) up26 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $75.09 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Thursday 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 $855 ($238,684 - $237,829) .
MarketWatch 9/26/13 Thurs. 4:27 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Thursday, with the S&P 500
rebounding from its longest losing streak this year, as a
larger-than-expected drop in jobless claims mostly overrode worries
about a budget standoff on Capitol Hill.“The strong jobs data were constructive, but we think it’s going to be a
nervous period for risk assets. Washington is going to be driving the
bus really for the next few weeks,” said Jim Russell, senior equity
strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management.There is “fear about a possible government shutdown and a very
contentious debate is likely over the debt ceiling. If the past is any
guide, this is going to be a food fight like no other, and it will not
put America in the best light on the global stage,” Russell said.
But the likely volatility that comes with Wall Street reacting to
headlines out of Washington does represent an opportunity for investors.
“At the end of the day, you have to fund the government, you have to
raise the debt ceiling, so if markets decline due to short-term issues,
buy good quality names on sale,” Russell advised.After a five-session losing streak, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.36%
rallied as much as 113.9 points, and ended with a gain of 55.04 points, or 0.4%, to 15,328.30.Also up after a five-session drop, the S&P 500 index
SPX
+0.35%
climbed 5.90 points, or 0.4%, to 1,698.67, with telecommunications
pacing gains that included all but utilities among its 10 major industry
sectors.Equities came off session highs after House Speaker John Boehner
said on Thursday that his party will push for a bill that will tie
increasing the debt ceiling — and continue funding the government past
Oct. 1 — to more cuts in federal spending. The comments by the Ohio
Republican did not completely derail market gains as the S&P 500
rebounded from its longest stretch of losses since late December. Stocks
got a second wind after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said
his chamber plans to have a stopgap budget bill finished by Sunday.Stocks are not far from all time-highs “while being held hostage to the
dysfunction in Washington,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard
Capital Markets.

A strong opening came in response to near-term oversold conditions,
Hogan said. “Although it hasn’t been deep, the sellout was long,” he
said.“I think the debt ceiling [will be] raised; I don’ think we’re going to
see a default,” said Chris Gaffney, senior vice president and senior
market strategist at EverBank Wealth Management.
The Senate on Wednesday moved toward advancing a bill that would keep
the government open after Monday without wiping out funding from the
health-care law. Also Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told
Congress the Treasury will only have $30 billion in cash by Oct. 17,
putting the nation on the brink of default.Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's News Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & amp; Constitution and 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 15273.26 down 61.33 or 0.40% from Tuesday's close of 15334.59. For the year the Dow is up 16.55%. Of the Dow components 6 gained, DuPont was unchanged and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan up $1.38 or 2.74% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Verizon down $1.78 and percentage-wise was Walmart down 1.45%.
NYT pB4 "S&P falls for a 5th day as federal shutdown looms" by Reuters says the stock market retreated on Wed & the S&P posted its 5th day of losses, its worst losing streak since '12 as investors remained nervous about the increasing possibility of a government shutdown and its impact on the economy.
FT p23 "JC Penney in further decline as short sellers pile ont he pressure" by Jason Abbruzzese says US indices were volatile for much of the day after reports came out, which Walmart denied, that Walmart had cut back on new orders due to rising inventories.
IBD pB2 "Ambarella, oil stocks rally amid indexes' light losses" by David Saito-Chung says the major indexes finished mildly lower in choppy trading Wed & the S&P 500 marked its longest slide of the year. Wed's action saw mild losses in mixed volume while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
WSJ pC4 "Another drop for stocks" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks declined for a 5th straight session with the S&P nothcing its longest losing streak this year as investors paused their buying after strong quarterly gains.
AJC pA13 "Stocks extend losing streak" by Ken Sweet, AP says Walmart spooked the market Wed pushing stocks lower for a 5th straight day. Walmart fell $1.10.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2378.29 down 9.55 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2387.84. 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 (0.15571590501117) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.28 down 31 cents from Tuesday's average of 79.59. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.09 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.
If Wedesday 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 $955 ( $238,784 - $237,829) .
MarketWatch 9/25/13 Wed. 4:30 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks dropped on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 index recording its longest decline since December, as a possible government shutdown overrode better-than-forecast economic reports.“It’s been a very good year for the stock market, but people are pausing to worry about what is going on in Washington. One of the few things you can say about the stock market is it hates uncertainty,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.Down for a fifth session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.40% lost 61.33 points, or 0.4%, at 15,273.26. The S&P 500 SPX -0.27% also fell for a fifth session, closing down 4.65 points, or 0.3%, to 1,692.77, with health care losing the most and financials the best performing among its 10 major industry groups. The loss streak is the longest since Dec. 28, a time that had Wall Street fretting as politicians argued over combined spending cuts and tax hikes dubbed the “fiscal cliff.” The index is up nearly 19% for the year.The Senate voted 100-0 on Wednesday to pass a stopgap spending measure, with Democrats planning to get rid of language from the House version that would remove funding of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Without an accord to hasten Senate consideration of the bill, a vote on its passage could come as late as Sunday, giving the House one day to move before spending authority lapses. Separately, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told legislators that the measures now being deployed to not surpass the debt ceiling will be unworkable by Oct. 17 at the latest.“It’s like going on a long road trip, and then arguing about whether you’re going to stop for gas or not. I have some sympathy for Secretary Lew who is looking at the gas indicator, which is on E, and he doesn’t know how many more miles he can go without it,” said Kelly. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.05% paced blue-chip losses, its shares off 1.5% after Bloomberg News reported the discount retailer was reducing orders with suppliers this quarter and next to deal with climbing inventories. A Wal-Mart spokesperson told MarketWatch the report is “completely false.”J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM +0.02% led advancers on the Dow, its shares up 2.7%, after the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal report the bank and government officials were in discussions to settled federal and state mortgage investigations. After four years struggling to attract students, interest in full-time M.B.A. programs – the bread and butter of business schools – is heating up. Melissa Korn reports on the News Hub.J.C. Penney Co. JCP -0.49% fell to a nearly 13-year low, leading S&P 500 losses with a 15% drop, after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. projected sales at the department-store chain would improve at a slower-than-anticipated pace and raised questions about the retailer’s liquidity.The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.19% lost 7.16 points, or 0.2%, to 3,761.10.Advancers remained just ahead of decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 641 million shares traded. Composite volume approached 3.2 billion.The Treasury market continues to benefit from the risk-taking confusion, with benchmark yields down to their lowest level since the middle of August, while the dollar was near its weakest point against other global currencies since February, Peter Boockvar, chief market strategist at The Lindsey Group, noted in emailed commentary.Treasury prices mostly gained, with the yield on the 10-year note 10_YEAR -1.35% used in determining mortgage rates and other consumer borrowing costs down 4 basis points to 2.621%. The dollar DXY -0.33% lost ground against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners, including the euro EURUSD +0.39% and the yen USDJPY -0.31% .Energy costs fell for a fifth session, with crude-oil futures for November delivery CLX3 -0.87% falling 47 cents, or 0.5%, to finish at $102.66 a barrel.Gold futures GCZ3 +1.36% for December delivery rose $19.90, or 1.5%, to settle at $1,336.20 an ounce, marking their first gain in four sessions.On Wednesday, stock-index futures offered no discernible reaction to data that had orders for U.S. durable goods unexpectedly bouncing back last month on demand for autos.Stocks only briefly cut their losses after the Commerce Department reported new-home sales rose last month after an unexpected drop in July.“It’s a tug of war. I think that is going to be the case for a while as no one is sure what will happen with the possible government shutdown, which is being contrasted with reasonable economic data,” Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edwards Jones, of the current volatility in equities.
