11/27/13 Wed. am Dow Hits Record High

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/


Post No. 2,457 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.



A read of the print editions of  Wednesday's   Wall St. Journal,   Financial Times,  Investor's News Daily, New York Times, Atlanta Journal & 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 closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.


    The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tues. at 16072.80 up 0.26 or 0% from  Monday's  close of 16072.54.  For the year the Dow is up %. Of  the Dow components  12  gained, Travelers was unchanged and  17    declined.   The biggest gainer dollar-wise  was Boeing up $1.78 and percentage-wise was  Disney up 2.06% .  The biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was IBM down $1.63 or 0.91%.


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 0.15571590501117.  Wednesday's   trailing P/E ratio is   from Tuesday's  trailing P/E of 16.50  (last year it was 14.39).  Wednesday's   P/E estimate is  15.02 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.02  (year ago it was 12.10) and Wednesday's  dividend yield is  up from Tuesday's  dividend yield of 2.15  (last year it was 2.67). The Dow's all-time high was 16,072.80 on November 26, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.


Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2502.79 up 0.04 from Monday's closing numerator of 2502.75. 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   Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.43 unchanged from  Monday's average closing price of 83.43.  The median closing price of  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.51 (HD/WMT/) up 42  cents from Monday's median closing price of $80.09     (HD/WMT).  The lowest volume was  Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.


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 made $4   ($250,279 - $250,275 ).

MarketWatch 11/26/13 Tues. 4:09 pm by Victor Reklaitis says  US stocks finished just slightly higher on Tuesday after erasing some gains in the final minutes of trading, but the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.58% achieved its first close above 4,000 since September 2000, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.00% eked out another record close. The S&P 500 SPX +0.02% edged up 0.27 point to end at 1,802.75, below its record close on Friday. The Dow rose 0.26 point to finish at 16,072.80 for its fourth straight record close. The Nasdaq tacked on 23.18 points, or 0.6%, to finish at 4,017.75. Encouraging data for the housing market offset a weaker-than-expected reading on consumer confidence.
