Post No. 2,484 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 Monday at 15884.57 up 129.21 or 0.82% from Friday's close of 15755.36. Of the Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM up $5.05 or 2.92% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble down 68 cents or 0.83 % .
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2473.48 up 20.12 from Friday's closing numerator of 2453.36. 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 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 16.18 up from Friday's trailing P/E of 16.16 (last year it was 14.74). Monday's P/E estimate is 14.98 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.00 (year ago it was 12.59) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.20 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.14 (last year it was 2.68). 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.45 up 46 cents from Friday's average closing price of $81.79. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.42 (HD/WMT/) down 11 cents from Friday's median closing price of $78.53. (HD/WMT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 made $2,012 ($247,348 - $245,336).
MarketWatch 12/16/13 Mon. 4:59 pm by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks rose on Monday as a flurry of economic data indicated solid improvements in business activity across the country.
The S&P 500 /SPX +0.63% broke a four-day losing streak and closed 11.22 points, or 0.6%, higher at 1,786.54. The Dow DJIA +0.82% closed higher for the second-straight session, up 129.21 points or 0.8% higher to 15,884.57. The Nasdaq Composite indexCOMP +0.71% closed up 28.54 points, or 0.7%, rising to 4,029.52. The Empire State Manufacturing Index rebounded in December after a slump in November, though by less than expected. Markit’s U.S. Purchasing Managers’ Manufacturing index rose further into expansion at 54.4. Industrial production jumped 1.1% in November, its biggest one-month gain in a year, and surpassed its pre-recession peak, versus a 0.1% fall the month before.
Despite Friday’s gains on the main indexes, stock markets finished last week with losses, retreating from some of their cyclical highs. Monday’s broad-based gains on the S&P 500 were led by energy and technology sectors.
“We are transitioning to a period when the good news is good news. The more markets react this way, the more muted the reaction to the taper will be,” said Drew Wilson, investment analyst at Fenimore Asset Management.
“Tapering still could be a significant event and the Fed is worried about such reaction. It is good to see that markets have began to expect it sooner rather than later,” he added.
- Comment : Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial, says that given really good numbers on industrial production, especially capacity utilization, markets are satisfied with the Fed beginning the taper soon. However, she believes markets are expecting that to happen early next year. “For the past several weeks, stocks have been following the Treasury markets and 10-year yields did not surge in reaction to the economic data. This suggests that markets expect the Fed to lay out the groundwork for the taper, but do not expect it to start in December. The main basis for bond markets to react that way is the fact that the inflationary pressures are still below where the Fed would like them to be in order to start the taper,” Krosby told MarketWatch.
- Today’s movers & shakers: LSI Corporation LSI +38.56% surged 39%, to $10.96, after the semiconductor maker on Monday agreed to be acquired by Avago Technologies Ltd. Shares of Twitter Inc.TWTR +0.02% fell 4.1% after analysts at Well Fargo downgraded the stock. IBM shares rallied 2.9%, as the Dow’s worst performer of the year attracted those who like to bet on the underdogs. Exxon XOM +2.00% shares rose 2% after analysts at Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to buy from neutral. NuPathe Inc.PATH -5.61% jumped 47% on news that Endo Health Solutions Inc. ENDP +3.21% will buy the specialty pharmacy company for about $105 million. Harvest Natural Resources Inc. HNR HNR +9.77% rose 10% on news it will sell all its interests in Venezuela for $400 million in cash. Read more in the Movers & Shakers column.
- Other markets: Gold and oil futures rose ahead of the Fed meeting. Stocks in Asia fell after Chinese data disappointed investors while European stocks rallied on stronger euro-zone data.

A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.

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.

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.
