Post No. 2,425 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 Oct. 22 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of Oct. 22.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 15545.75 down 73.01 or 0.47% from Wednesday's close of 15618.76. Of the Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M up $1.06 and percentage-wise was ExxonMobil up 0.91% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Visa down 47.15 or 3.51%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.46 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E of 17.56 (last year it was 14.15); today's P/E estimate is 14.65 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 14.65 (year ago it was 12.35) and today's dividend yield is 2.14 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.14 (last year it was 2.59). The Dow's all-time high was 15,680.35 on October 29, 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 2420.72 down 11.37 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2432.09. 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 $80.69 down 38 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of 81.07. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $77.32 (HD/WMT) down 8 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $77.40 (HD/WMT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 lost $1,137 ($243,209 - $242,072).
MarketWatch 10/31/13 Thurs. 4:09 pm by Wallace Witkowski says U.S. stocks DJIA -0.47% fell 73.01 points, or 0.5%, to close at 15,545.75, for an October gain of 2.8%. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.38% declined 6.76 points, or 0.4%, to finish at 1,756.55, for a gain of 4.5% for the month. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.28% slipped 10.91 points, or 0.3%, to end at 3,919.71, for a 3.9% October gain.
