Post No. 2,415 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 Friday at 15570.28 up 61.07 or 0.39% from Thursday's close of 15509.21. For the week the Dow is up 170.63 or 1.1% from last Friday's close of 15399.65. Of the Dow components 21 gained, Pfizer was unchanged and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $2.21 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 5.96% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down 95 cents and percentage-wise was Walmart down 0.76%.
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 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.38 up from Thursday's trailing P/E of 17.31 (last year it was 13.94); Friday's P/E estimate is 14.13 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 14.13 (year ago it was 12.59) and today's dividend yield is 2.16 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.17 (last year it was 2.59). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2424.54 up 9.51 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2415.03. 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 $80.82 up 32 cents from Thursday's average closing price of 80.50. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.89 (NKE/WMT) down 71 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $76.60 (HD/WMT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $951 ($242,454 - $241,503) .
MarketWatch 10/25/13 Fri. 4:02 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks finished another week of gains with the S&P 500 index SPX +0.44% at record highs after earnings from large technology companies Microsoft Corp. MSFT +5.96% and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.09% included better-than-expected revenue. "It's a fine stock market if you just look at earnings, interest rates and price-earnings ratios," said Hugh Johnson, chairman of Hugh Johnson Advisors LLC. The U.S. economy will be a focus when investors take a look at October numbers slated for release in the first week of November, said Johnson, who adds the market will also face headwinds from "uncertainty over what is Washington going to decide" in facing budget issues at the end of the year and into early 2014. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.39% rose 61.07 points, or 0.4%, to 15,570.28. The S&P 500 added 7.7 points, or 0.4%, to 1,759.77. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.37% gained 14.40 points, or 0.4%, to 3,943.36.

MarketWatch 10/24/13 Thurs. 4:42 pm by Kate Gibson says the S&P 500 index
SPX
+0.33%
climbed 5.69 points, or 0.3%, to 1,752.07. Consumer discretionary led
sector gains among the S&P 500’s 10 major sectors, while utilities
paced the declines.The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.56%
added 21.89 points, or 0.6%, to 3,928.96.“We’re just getting back a little bit of what we gave up yesterday.
There is no impetus for the Federal Reserve to begin its tapering
programs; prospects are now deferred well into the first quarter of
2014,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney
Montgomery Scott.“And, we’re actually starting to get some numbers on the revenue side
that are better than expected,” said Luschini, pointing to AutoNation
Inc.
AN
-0.81%
and 3M Co.
MMM
-0.37%
as examples. “Since the start of July, the dollar has fallen about 6%,
and large multi-nationals are getting a bid as a consequence of that,”
he added.On Thursday, the dollar
DXY
-0.01%
edged lower against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners, including the euro
EURUSD
-0.08%
and the yen
USDJPY
-0.06%
.Ford Motor Co.
F
-0.11%
climbed 1.4% after the auto maker reported earnings that topped estimates. Symantec Corp.’s
SYMC
+0.28%
shares fell almost 13% after the security-software provider projected sales and profit beneath Wall Street’s expectations.
For every three stocks falling, more than four rose on the New York
Stock Exchange, where 716 million shares traded. Composite volume
approached 3.6 billion.Gold futures
GCZ3
-0.35%
rose $16.30, or 1.2%, to $1,350.30 an ounce. Borrowing costs reflected in the 10-year Treasury note
10_YEAR
-0.24%
yield rose 1 basis point to 2.514%.“Gold is firming a little bit, which is a signal of deferred tapering
prospects, and bond prices are reacting in the same vein. They are all
saying the same thing, that from what we’ve seen, there is no impetus
for monetary policy to shift. Given gold’s positive view of that, and
the bond market’s complacent view of that, equity prices remain well
bid,” Luschini offered.Energy prices reversed course after a three-session slide, with crude-oil futures
CLZ3
+0.09%
rising 25 cents, or 0.3%, to $97.11 a barrel.“It’s a tax cut being applied to the consumer in the form of lower gas
prices, which is particularly important leading into the all-important
holiday season,” said Luschini, referring to the commodity’s recent
slide.
HSBC
Holdings PLC and Markit’s China purchasing managers’ index rose to
50.9 this month, with the initial read illustrating the world’s
second-largest economy is gaining traction.The preliminary reading of
Markit’s U.S. flash manufacturing purchasing managers index fell to 51.5 in October from 52.8 in September, with Markit’s chief economist blaming the government shutdown for the pullback.
Other U.S. economic data had jobless benefits falling by 12,000 to 350,000 last week, but the count was viewed as distorted due to computer problems in California.The claims data “should not have much bearing on the market since there
were major issues with California’s computers during that time,” Kevin
Giddis, a fixed-income analyst at Raymond James, noted in emailed
commentary.
A separate report found the U.S. trade deficit little changed in August, with both imports and exports losing steam.“Leading into September, where we expected tapering to begin, good news
was good news. Suddenly bad news is good. I think that’s perverse, but
that’s what’s driving the market right now,” said Luschini.
