Post No. 2,407 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 Monday at 15392.20 down 7.45 or 0.05 % from Friday's close of 15399.65. Of the Dow components 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $1.08 and percentage-wise was GE up 2.31% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing down $1.05 or 0.86%.
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 0.15571590501117. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.24 up from Friday's opening trailing P/E of 17.20 (last year it was 14.47); Monday's P/E estimate is 14.13 unchanged from Friday's opening P/E estimate of 14.13 (year ago it was 12.59) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.20 unchanged from Friday's opening dividend yield of 2.20 (last year it was 2.57). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2396.80 down 1.17 from Friday's closing numerator of 2397.97. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.89 down 4 cents from Friday's average closing price of 79.93. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.12 (HD/WMT) down 64 cents from Friday's median closing price of $75.76 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was GE.
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 $117 ($239,797 - $239,681 ) .
MarketWatch 10/21/13 Mon. 4:34 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished little changed on Monday, with the S&P 500 adding a fraction to its record close and the Nasdaq Composite extending gains into a fourth session, bolstered by Netflix Inc., which released earnings just after the close.

coincided with a broad-based earnings revision upward, “it would not be
surprising to see equity markets take a breather,” given the market’s

much the (government) shutdown hurt the economy,” noted David Kelly,
chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, in emailed commentary.The global economy is “still on the mend in the face of the easiest
monetary policy ever implemented by developed-nation central banks. As
the economy improves and earnings rise, this aid will gradually be
reduced, boosting interest rates. Despite recent stock-market gains,
such an environment still supports the idea of an overweight to equities
relative to fixed income around the world,” wrote J.P. Morgan Funds’
Kelly.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's News Daily, all 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 15399.65 up 28 or 0.18 % from Wednesday's close of 15373.83. For the week the Dow was up 162.54 or 1.07% from last Friday's close of 15237.11. For the year the Dow is up 17.52%. Of the Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up $2.61 or 3.66% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Visa down $2.17 and percentage-wise was GE down 3.53%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks show some vigor as fresh breakouts emerge" by Paul Whitfield says stocks advanced in mixed vol Fri capping the week with gapups in the major indexes as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Sat. WSJ pB5 "Google, GE spur enw stock peaks" by Matt Jarzemsky says a market rally set off by better than epected earnings from Google, GE and other firms boosted the S&P to a new record.
Sat. AJC pA12 "Nasdaq also posts strong gain" by AP says wile the S&P hit new highs, Nasdaq also showed a big gain. Investors will have a better idea of US corporate profit picture next week when McDonald's, Boeing and Caterpillar report.
FT p13 "Google surges to $1,010 as focus shifts to earnings" says GE rose 3% following its results providing the biggest boost to the Dow although declines in Home Depot and Microsoft kept the Dow gains in check.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2397.97 up 4.36 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2393.61. 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 (0.15571590501117) 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.93 up 14 cents from Thursday's average closing price of 79.79. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.76 (WMT/HD) up 67 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $75.76 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco, again.
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 $436 ($239,797 - $239,361 ) .
MarketWatch 10/18/13 Fri. 4:17 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose on Friday, with the S&P 500 index continuing its record run and posting its best weekly gain since mid-July, as investors applauded quarterly results from Internet-search titan Google Inc. and investment bank Morgan Stanley. “So far early in the earnings season, I would have to say it’s better than average. Not great, but better than average. We’re at all-time highs, so the market is certainly seeing it that way,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade in Chicago. GOOG +0.36% rose above its July 15 record, up $122.61, or nearly 14%, at $1,011.41, a day after reporting a double-digit rise in quarterly revenue. Morgan Stanley MS -0.47% jumped 2.6% after reporting earnings nearly doubled in the third quarter, and shares of General Electric Co. /quotes/zigman/227468/quotes/nls/ge GE +3.53% rose 3.5%, as the manufacturer reported a backlog in orders for jet engines, turbines and locomotives. Closing at a record for a second session, the S&P 500 SPX +0.66% gained 11.35 points, or 0.7%, at 1,744.50, up 2.4% for the week. Technology paced sector gains among its 10 major industries. Wall Street’s advance comes on the assumption that the Federal Reserve will continue the pace of its $85 billion in monthly asset purchases in the wake of the now-ended budget standoff that closed government operations for 16 days. Congress has voted to finance government operations until Jan. 15 and hike the nation’s debt ceiling through the middle of January. “It’s nice that the government put aside some fears, shall we say, but only temporarily,” said Kinahan at TD Ameritrade. One concern is how much the current and coming budget moves impact consumer and business spending, given the uncertainty over what’s ahead. “Investors have driven U.S. benchmarks to record highs following temporary respite to the painful episode in Washington,” emailed Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. The discord on Capitol Hill likely means the timetable of Fed tapering has been disrupted, Wilkerson added, echoing comments Thursday from Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher, who said the fiscal disagreements only hindered the case for tapering. And, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said the Fed should not start cutting the pace of its bond buys given the reports used to monitor the economy were not released during the shutdown. The government late Thursday said it would release nonfarm-payroll numbers for September on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. Up 1.1% from last Friday’s finish, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /DJIA +0.18% rose 28 points, or 0.2%, to 15,399.65 on Friday, with General Electric pacing gains that included 19 of its 30 components. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.32% rose 51.13 points, or 1.3%, to 3,914.28, giving it a 3.2% gain on the week. Advancers outran decliners by a more than 2-to-1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange, where 891 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.7 billion. Treasury prices were mixed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note10_YEAR +0.04% steady at 2.591%, while the dollar / DXY -0.09% edged lower against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners. The price of oil rose, with futures CLX3 +0.19% up 14 cents, or 0.1%, to $101.81 a barrel, with crude ending with a 1.2% weekly gain. Gold futures GCZ3 -0.49% fell $8.4, or 0.6%, to $1,314.60 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with the metal up almost 4% from last Friday’s finish. Also propping up sentiment was an economic report illustrating growth in China sped up in the third quarter, thanks largely to investment in the world’s second largest economy.
