Post No. 2,480 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 ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of Dec. 9, 2013 and a summary of Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of Dec. 9, 2013.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 15755.36 up 15.93 or 0.10% from Thursday's close of 15739.43. For the week the Dow is down 264.84 ir 1,65% from last Friday's close of 16020.20. Of the Dow components 14 gained, Pfizer was unchanged and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Visa up $3.92 or 1.93% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down $1.09 and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 1.42% .
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2453.36 up 2.48 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2450.88. 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.
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.

The Dow's all-time high was 16,097.33 on November 27, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $81.79 up 9 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $81.70.

The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $248 ($245,336 - $245,088).
MarketWatch 12/13/13 Fri. 4:10 pm by Victor Reklaitis says US stocks closed flat to slightly higher on Friday after a choppy session with little economic news, finishing a down week on a mostly positive note. The S&P 500 SPX -0.01% was roughly unchanged, edging down 0.18 point to close at 1,775.32, ending with a 1.7% decline for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.10% rose 15.93 points, or 0.1%, to 15,755.36, finishing with a 1.7% drop for the week. Those two indexes suffered their second straight weekly loss, pressured by speculation that strong recent economic data and the U.S. budget deal will push the Federal Reserve to taper its stimulus measures next week. It's the first time they've dropped for two weeks in a row since the week ended Oct. 4. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.06% gained 2.57 points, or 0.1%, to finish at 4,000.98 on Friday. The tech-heavy index lost 1.5% for the week, after rising for four weeks in a row.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks, gold fall as taper talk troubles" by Chris Dieterich says stocks' Dec doldrums deepened as the Dow had its 3rd straight loss amid growing concern that the Fed may as soon as next week trim the stimulus efforts.
FT p23 "Facebook finds favour ahead of move up to S&P 500 index" says US stocks fell for a 3rd straight day amid uncertainty over when the Fed will trim its stimulus efforts.
IBD pB2 "Stocks indexes give ground as trade steps back a bit" by Paul Whitfield says stocks chalked up modest losses Thur in lower volume as the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
NYT pB7 "Markets fall again in taper mania over Fed" & AJC pA21 "Fed fears keep stocks down" by AP says the stock market fell to its lowest level in a month Thurs as investors worried taht the end may be near for the Fed's stimulus program.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $81.70 down 54 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $82.24. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.51 (HD/WMT/) down 54 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $79.05. (HD/WMT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $1,621 ($246,709 - $245,088).
MarketWatch 12/12/13 Thurs. 4:43 pm by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks closed lower on Thursday after a choppy trade as investors weighed a mixed batch of economic data and how it would affect the Fed’s decision to alter policy in its rate-setting meeting next week.The S&P 500 SPX -0.38% closed 7 points, or 0.4%, at 1,775, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.66% closed 104 points, or 0.7%, to 15,739, its third consecutive drop.The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.14% closed below 4,000 level for the first time since November 25. The index, which traded in positive territory for much of the day closed down 5 points or 0.1% to 3,998.The S&P 500 has fallen for the third day in a row and retreated from its all-time high reached earlier this week, but analysts say this is more due to profit-taking, since the index has gained 25% year-to-date.Investors digested positive retail sales figures and higher-than-expected jobless claims. U.S. consumers were more confident with their spending in November.Weekly jobless claims, however, shot up to 368,000 from 300,000 the week before, and were higher than the consensus forecast of 325,000. Seasonal factors may have distorted the data, as the four-week moving average still indicates an improving labor market.In another economic news, business inventories rose more than expected.“Neither the jobless claims nor the retail sales will move the Fed’s current position on tapering,” said John Canally, investment strategist for LPL Financial. Tapering refers to reduction in the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program, which the central bank will be deciding during it meeting next week. The wind down of the $85 billion-a-month bond purchasing program depends on the improvements in the economy, especially the unemployment rate.Europe’s stock markets have done well in 2013, but that’s not thanks to corporate earnings. Chip Cummins assesses whether the corporate sector will finally see a rise in profit growth, and its prospects for greater M&A and IPO activity in 2014.
“Markets have been focused on the timing and the slope of Fed
bond-buying tapering and not on anything else, said Uri Landesman,
president of Platinum Partners.“Not even on the news that the most accomplished and competent central
banker Stanley Fisher is likely to join the Fed. So any good news is
taken as a bad news, which is why we saw the selloffs after the budget
deal was struck.”
“What is good for the economy is good for the markets generally, but
that is not the case right now. With solid gains on the S&P 500 so
far they have been wanting to sell anyway and will do so for the
seemingly wrong reasons,” Landesman added.
