Post No. 2,460 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 16008.77 down 77.64 or 0.48% from Friday's close of 16086.41. Of the Dow components 9 gained, GE was unchanged and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up 41.67 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 0.84% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was 3M down $5.83 or 4.37%.
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 16.52 down from Friday's trailing P/E of 16.43 (last year it was 14.49). Monday's P/E estimate is 15.02 unchanged from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.02 (year ago it was 12.35) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.17 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.12 (last year it was 2.65). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2492.82 down 12.09 from Friday's closing numerator of 2504.91. 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 $83.09 down 41 cents from Friday's average closing price of 83.50. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.94 (HD/WMT/) down 46 cents from Friday's median closing price of $80.40 (HD/WMT). The lowest volume was Nike and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $1,209 ($250,491- 249,282).
MarketWatch
12/2/13 Mon. 4:31 pm by William L. Watts says US stocks indexes ended lower on Monday, with the Dow
Jones Industrial Average briefly falling below 16,000 ahead of the
closing bell as investors debated whether a record rally has become
overextended.The S&P 500 index
SPX
-0.27%
fell 4.91 points, or 0.3%, to close at 1,800.90, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.48%
lost 77.64 points, or 0.5%, to end at 16,008.77.The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
-0.36%
lost 14.63 points, or 0.4%, to 4,045.26.“The U.S. stock market remains near record highs and may be overextended
on a short-term basis,” wrote Gary Thayer, chief macro strategist at
Wells Fargo, in a note. The equity market could see a pullback on any
unexpected negative news, though underlying fundamentals remain positive
and suggest the market could advance further over the long term, he
said.Among blue chips, 3M Co.
MMM
-0.61%
weighed on the Dow, dropping more than 4% to become the largest decliner. Analysts at Morgan Stanley lowered their rating on the stock to underweight.Stocks enter the final month of the year on a tear, with the S&P 500
up more than 26% for 2013. The S&P and the Dow have both set a
string of record highs over the course of the year, with pullbacks
tending to be shallow and far between. While that has some investors
fearing a potential bubble, others argue that the rally appears to be in
strong hands.“The fact that the market refuses to pull back is a subtle and very
important testament to how strong the bulls are,” said Adam Sarhan,
chief executive at Sarhan Capital, in a phone interview.Typically, markets either follow a strong run-up by consolidating or
pulling back to digest the move, he said. Of the two scenarios,
consolidation is the stronger signal.Meanwhile, investors were taken by surprise early Monday when the
Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index rose to
57.3% in November from 56.4%, its highest reading since April 2011. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast a reading of 55%. A reading above 50% indicates an expansion in activity.“Given the relationship between the index and broader growth and given
its statistical reliability, our view that growth will pick up in coming
months is validated by today’s data point,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief
global strategist at BTIG, in a note.Stronger growth can weigh on stocks by boosting expectations the Federal
Reserve will be more eager to begin scaling back the size of its
bond-buying program, even though central bank officials have largely
taken pains to emphasize that official interest rates are likely to
remain extraordinarily low for years to come.Earlier, the market showed little reaction when the Markit final
purchasing managers’ index for November came in at 54.7, up slightly
from a 54.3 preliminary reading.Online auction site eBay Inc.
EBAY
+0.18%
was among the top gainers on the S&P 500, rising 1.6% on
expectations for a strong Cyber Monday, traditionally the biggest online
shopping day of the year. Online retailer Amazon.com Inc.
AMZN
-0.34%
lost 0.3% despite attracting a lot of attention over the weekend when it revealed it will test the use of drones for rapid delivery of its orders.Shopping results from Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday and the weekend
offered mixed results. A survey by the National Retail Federation
indicated more shoppers hit the stores and Web sites compared to the
same period last year, but spent nearly 3% less money.The big event this week will be the release of the November monthly jobs
report on Friday. The ISM manufacturing reading is likely to boost
expectations for the payrolls number, said Rob Carnell, economist at ING
Bank in London.“Wednesday’s non-manufacturing ISM employment index, together with the
ADP survey, remain the key releases in advance of payrolls and other
labor data,” Carnell wrote in a note. “But with the backdrop for labor
demand looking robust, according to ongoing declines in initial claims,
Friday may re-encourage thoughts of a December-January taper amongst
market participants.”“Whether it does the same to Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke and the rest of the FOMC is another question, however,” he added.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's News Daily, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, 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 Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 16086.41 down 10.92 or 0.07% from Wednesday's close of 16097.33. For the week the Dow was up 0.1%, for the month up 3.5% and for the year the Dow is up 22.8%. Of the Dow components 10 gained, Coca-Cola and Merck were unchanged and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up 72 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 1.41% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was United Technologies down 65 cents and percentage-wise was GE down 0.67%.
IBD pA1 "Stocks mixed in half session" & pB10 says the market faded in the final hour of a short session on Friday. Retail & electronics were some of the strongest stocks as the holiday shopping season got underway. The current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2504.91 down 1.70 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2506.61. 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 $83.50 down 5 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of 83.55. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.84 (HD/WMT/) up 4 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $80.80 (HD/WMT). 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 lost $170 ($250,661 - $250,491 ).
MarketWatch 11/29/13 Fri. 1:56 pm by Victor Reklaitis says US stocks closed mostly lower on Friday, pulling back from Wednesday’s record levels, but still achieved gains for the week and month.
The
main indexes spent most of the shortened, post-Thanksgiving session
in positive territory after upbeat reports on holiday shopping, but then
erased their intraday gains in the final minutes of trading.Investors
shouldn’t read too much into Friday’s weak finish, said Quincy
Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial. She noted the
S&P 500
SPX
-0.08%
and Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.07%
held comfortably above their milestone levels of 1,800 and 16,000,
respectively, plus trading volumes were low.“The market essentially
ended the week higher, but today flat,” she told MarkeWatch.The
S&P 500 dipped 1.42 points, or less than 0.1%, to close at
1,805.81, pulling back from its record close on Wednesday. It finished
up less than 0.1% for the week and rose 2.8% for the month.The Dow lost
10.92 points, or less than 0.1%, to finish at 16,086.41,
easing from its record close on Wednesday and snapping a five-session
winning streak. The blue-chip index rose 0.1% for the week and 3.5% for
November.The S&P and Dow have both advanced for eight straight
weeks.
The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.37%
bucked Friday’s negative trend, rising 15.14 points, or 0.4%, to end at
4,059.89. The tech-heavy index climbed 1.7% for the week and 3.6% for
the month.The trading session ended at 1 p.m. Eastern time, three hours earlier
than normal, and many traders were still on vacation following the
Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.Retail stocks drew attention as shoppers packed stores. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
WMT
+0.10%
rose 0.1% after reporting strong Thanksgiving sales.“The numbers that have been trickling in are at the margin positive,”
Krosby said, referring to early news on the holidays shopping season.
-
The buzz:
“My sense is that retailers will have to raise their level of
promotions to close more sales,” said Brian Sozzi, chief equities
strategist at Belus Capital Advisors, in a note Friday. He added that
outside of Wal-Mart, the strongest start to the season from his vantage
point came at Best Buy Co.
BBY
+2.37%
, thanks to factors such as its price-matching efforts. Best Buy shares
rose 2.4%. On the other hand, MarketWatch columnist Jeff Reeves argued
that Black Friday doesn’t matter, saying it’s mostly hype.
-
Today’s movers & shakers:
J.C. Penney Co.
JCP
+1.09%
rose 1.1% in its last day of trading as an S&P 500 component,
while Chinese social-media firm Renren Inc.
RENN
-11.04%
slid 11% after posting a wider-than-expected loss late Wednesday. Read more in the Movers & Shakers column.
