Post No. 2,464 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 Wednesday at 15889.77 down 24.85 or 0.16% from Tuesday's close of 15914.62. Of the Dow components 11 gained and 19 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up 99 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 1.64% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down 99 cents or 1.22%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.34 down from yesterday's trailing P/E of 16.44 (last year it was 14.42). Today's P/E estimate is 15.12 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.12 (year ago it was 12.35) and today's dividend yield is 2.13 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.12 (last year it was 2.66). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2474.29 down 3.87 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2478.16. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.48 down 13 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $82.61. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.52 (NKE/WMT/) down 65 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $80.17 (NKE/WMT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
If Wednesday 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 $387 ( $247,816 - $247,429).
MarketWatch 12/4/13 Wed. 5:12 pm by Victor Reklaitis says US stocks ended mostly lower on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average extending their losing streak to four straight sessions. Upbeat economic reports appeared to reinforce worries that later this month the Federal Reserve could start to taper its bond-buying program that has supported equities. The main indexes had all moved into positive territory following a report of progress toward a U.S. budget deal, but those gains faded. Many strategists have been expecting a market pullback given recent advances. Last week, the S&P 500 achieved its eight straight weekly gain, and the benchmark index remains up 25.7% in the year to date. “The market has done exceptionally well and was bound to pull back sooner or later,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital. The S&P 500 SPX -0.13% dipped 2.34 points, or 0.1%, to close at 1,792.81, retreating further below the milestone level of 1,800. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.16% fell 24.85 points, or 0.2%, to end at 15,889.77, staying below its own big round number of 16,000. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.02% bucked the negative trend, rising 0.80 point to finish at 4,038. The tech-heavy index snapped a two-day losing streak and held above the 4,000 level. On Tuesday, stocks lost ground on uncertainty over when the Fed will begin to pare its bond-buying program and on jitters about whether the market rally is overextended. Today’s market-moving news: Private-sector hiring in November was the hottest in a year, as 215,000 jobs were added, according to a report from Automatic Data Processing. In addition, a new-home-sales report beat forecasts, and the Fed’s Beige Book report was mostly encouraging, but a services gauge missed expectations. Upbeat economic data can weigh on equities if it reinforces worries the Fed could move as early as December to scale back its bond-buying program, even though an improving economy generally helps the market over the longer run. Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday that U.S. budget negotiators are near a deal in which Democrats would accept fresh revenue from user fees and Republicans would agree to more federal spending, steps that could avoid another government shutdown next year.
- Today’s movers & shakers: CF Industries Holdings Inc. shares CF -0.02% rallied 10.7% after the fertilizer maker indicated it may return more cash to shareholders and RBC Capital Markets started coverage with a sector perform rating. Express Inc. EXPR -21.76% tumbled 23% after the clothing retailer cut its full-year outlook. Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -0.07% rose 2.3% after a positive Morgan Stanley report. See: Movers & Shakers column.
- The buzz: After a historic bull-market run, a notable group of analysts is warning that all of this could be a bubble that is about to pop, according to John Nyaradi, a contributor to MarketWatch’s Trading Deck. Another Trading Deck contributor, Kevin Marder, says it’s not “time to run for the hills,” but it is time to be “buying selectively.”
- Other markets: Japan’s Nikkei 225 JP:NIK -2.17% dropped 2.2% as the yen rebounded against the dollar. European stocks closed lower. Oil and gold both advanced.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's blog:
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 Tuesday at 15914.62 down 94.15 or 0.59% from Monday's close of 16008.77. For the year the Dow is up 21.45%. Of the Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Exxon up 87 cents or 0.93% . The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Visa down $3.38 and percentage-wise was DuPont down 2.01%.
WSJ pC1 "Three isn't a charm for Dow" by Kiatlyn Kiernan says blue chip stocks had their largest decline in nearly a month as some said investors appeared to cash in gains heading into the end of the year.
FT p21 "Wall Street" says US stocks fell Tues sending the S&P lower for 3 straight session as investors speculated that the Fed may trim its stimulus earlier than some had anticipated.
IBD pB4 "More distribution for S&P but market's picture mixed" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says stocks gave back more ground Tues as the action saw moderate losses in higher vol and the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
NYT pB10 "Shares slide suggesting the yearlong rally is cresting" & AJC pA15 "Streak of weekly gains at risk" both by AP says stocks fell Tues dragged lower by the Detroit automakers and consumer focused firms such as GameStop and Amazon.com.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2478.16 down 14.66 from Monday's closing numerator of 2492.82. 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 $82.61 down 48 cents from Monday's average closing price of 83.09. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.17 (NKE/WMT/) up 23 cents from Monday's median closing price of $79.94 (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 lost $1,466 ($249,282 - $247,816).
MarketWatch
12/2/13 Mon. 4:34 pm by William L. Watts says US stocks fell Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average falling for a third straight day on uncertainty
over when the Federal Reserve will begin to scale back stimulus and
self-fulfilling fears the market was overdue for a pullback from record
levels.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.59%
dropped more than 100 points during the session before settling at
15,914.62, down 94.15 points, or 0.6%, taking it well below the
psychologically important 16,000 level. The drop was the index’s biggest
one-day decline since Nov. 7.The S&P 500
SPX
-0.32%
lost 5.75 points, or 0.3%, to 1,795.15 and the Nasdaq Composite
COMP
-0.20%
declined 8.06 points, or 0.2%, to 4,037.20.“I hate to use the words, ‘we’re due,’ but we’ve gone straight up,” said
J.J. Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade in Chicago.A decision by a Michigan judge
to allow Detroit’s bankruptcy to proceed over the objections of unions
and retirees helped trigger added selling pressure on concerns it could
set a precedent for other municipalities, analysts said. The news served
as an excuse for investors to “take a little bit off the table,”
Kinahan said, while emphasizing that the scale of the pullback, which
has seen the S&P 500 lose ground for three consecutive sessions,
remains quite modest.The index set a record close above 1,800 last week
and is up nearly 26% year to date.While this is a big week for economic
data, with November nonfarm
payrolls set for release on Friday, there were no major items on the
calendar Tuesday aside from monthly auto sales.But a strong rise in
November sales did little to boost either Ford Motor Co.
F
-0.06%
or General Motors Co.
GM
+0.11%
. General Motors said it saw its strongest November in six years, with total sales up 13.7% versus the same month last year. Ford
F
-0.06%
reported a 7% rise in November sales. GM shares dropped 2.5% while Ford
lost 2.9%. Both auto makers have had a strong run, however, with Ford
up 28% since the beginning of the year and GM up more than 32% over the
same stretch. Take a closer look at global auto sales.Auto maker Chrysler Group LLC, a unit of Italy-based Fiat SpA
IT:F
-2.37%
, on Tuesday said November U.S. sales rose 16% to 142,725 units, the strongest November result since 2007.Share of electric-car maker Tesla Motors Inc.
TSLA
+0.09%
rose 16.5%. The company said Monday that an investigation by German
authorities into three recent fires in Model S electric sports sedans
found “no manufacturer-related defects.”The economic calendar
picks up again Wednesday, with investors set to pounce on Automatic
Data Processing’s estimate of November private-sector payrolls at 8:15
a.m. Eastern for a clue to the Labor Department’s jobs report on Friday.
Also on tap will be October trade figures at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, the ISM
November nonmanufacturing index and October new home sales data, both
at 10 a.m., and the Fed’s so-called Beige Book report on regional
economic conditions.Strong economic data can potentially weigh on equities if it reinforces
worries the Fed could move as early as December or January to begin
trimming the size of its bond-buying program, strategists said, although
stronger economic momentum would likely provide support for the market
over the longer run.Shares of Apple Inc.
AAPL
+0.20%
rose 2.7% to $566.32. UBS upgraded the stock to buy from neutral and
raised its price target to $650 from $540, saying more institutional
money is likely to move back into the shares in 2014.Shares of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc.
KKD
+5.38%
tumbled 20% after the company late Monday offered a disappointing fiscal 2015 outlook.Among blue chips, Visa Inc.
V
-1.65%
shares dropped 1.7%.
