12/8/13 Sun/Sat JPMorgan Hired Kids of China's Elite

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/


Post No. 2,470 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  Monday's   Barron's & Investor's News Daily; the combined Sat. & Sun. issues of each of the  Wall St. Journal &   Financial Times; & Sunday's &  Saturday's  New York Times & Atlanta Journal & Constitution 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 16020.20 up 198.69 or 1.26% from  Thursday's  close of 15821.51. For the week the Dow was down 0.4%.  For the year the Dow is up 198.69 or 22.3%. Of  the Dow components all 30  gained.   The biggest gainer dollar-wise  was  Boeing up $2.45 and percentage-wise was Intel  up 2.31% .

IBD pB8 "Stocks up on strong data, but volume is a no show" by Paul Whitfield says stocks kept to their recent puzzling action, tucking Friday's gains inside lower vol as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

Sat. FT p13 "Wall Street" says US stocks climbed Fri halting the S&P's 5 session losing streak following a stronger than expected payrolls report.  Intel shares recovered 2.3% after Citigroup raised its rating from neutral to buy as investors were worried whether it could maintain its momentum after admitting last month that is manufacturing yields had faller below target as transistors shrink to minute scale.

Sat. WSJ pB5 "Stocks' surge snaps 5 day losing streak" by Dan Strumpf says stocks soared after a better than expected US jobs report left investors feeling better about a potential pullback in the Fed's easing efforts in coming months.

AJC p10 "Wall Street" by AP says stocks rose sharply after the gov reported a 4th straight month of solid US job gains.

As of the open  of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4   of  Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117.  Monday's   trailing P/E ratio is  16.24 down from Friday's  trailing P/E of 16.25  (last year it was 14.62).  Monday's   P/E estimate is  15.00 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.12   (year ago it was 12.52) and Monday's  dividend yield is  2.39 up from Friday's  dividend yield of 2.19  (last year it was 2.71). 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.


Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2494.60 up 30.94 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2463.66. 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 $83.15 $1.03 from  Thursday's average closing price of $82.12.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.90  (NKE/WMT/) up 70  cents from Thursday's median closing price of $79.20.     (NKE/WMT).  The lowest volume was  Travelers and the highest volume was Intel.


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 $3,093   ($249,460 - $247,366).

MarketWatch 12/6/13 Fri. 4:25  pm by Victor Reklaitis says  US stocks rallied on Friday after a stronger-than-anticipated monthly jobs report, with the S&P 500 and Dow industrials snapping a five-session losing streak.But the two indexes still finished down for the week, as each halted an eight-week winning streak.The jobs report, which showed the U.S. economy created 203,000 positions in November as the unemployment rate fell to 7.0%, sparked fresh talk that the Federal Reserve could scale back its bond-buying program later this month. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected November nonfarm payroll gains of 180,000 compared to 204,000 in October, and a drop in the unemployment rate to 7.2% from 7.3%.Earlier this week, encouraging economic data generated tapering fears that weighed on stocks, but some strategists said that at least on Friday, traders treated good economic news as simply good news. “I think sentiment is finally changing in the stock market,” said Mike Serio, regional chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank. He told MarketWatch that the jobs report was strong enough that the mindset among investors has shifted to focusing on economic fundamentals.Strategists at ING U.S. Investment Management made a similar point. “Perhaps the market is finally getting comfortable with tapering and getting back to normal — where good news is good news,” they wrote in a note.The S&P 500 SPX +1.12%  rose 20.06 points, or 1.1%, to close at 1,805.09, climbing back above the milestone level of 1,800 that it first cleared last month. The benchmark index scored its best daily advance since Nov. 8 and finished down less than 0.1% for the week.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.26%  gained 198.69 points, or 1.3%, to close at 16,020.20, achieving its biggest daily gain since Oct. 16 and reconquering its own milestone level of 16,000. The blue-chip index ended the week with a 0.4% decline.The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.73% jumped 29.36 points, or 0.7%, to finish at 4,062.52. The tech-heavy index rose less than 0.1% for the week for its fourth-straight weekly gain. It’s trading at levels last seen in September 2000.The University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment index for December beat expectations, coming in at 82.5. Economists polled by MarketWatch expected a reading of 76.5.Trading volumes were typical on Friday, with New York Stock Exchange composite volume about 99% of its 30-day average, and Nasdaq composite volume about 97% of its 30-day average, according to FactSet data.
  • Today’s market-moving news: The jobless rate is now at the lowest level since November 2008, and the fresh employment numbers suggest the U.S. economy — after a mid-summer pause — continues to expand at a moderate clip.
  • Today’s movers & shakers: Big Lots Inc. BIG -0.12%   tumbled nearly 13% after the closeout retailer said late Thursday it would exit the Canadian market and issued a weaker outlook for its U.S. operations. Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc. ULTA +1.15%  slid nearly 21% after disappointing quarterly results late Thursday. Read more in the Movers & Shakers column.
  • Other markets: Gold prices edged down, while oil closed modestly higher. The dollar moved up, but gave up much of its gains. European stocks rallied, while Asian equities finished mixed.
