1/10/14 Fri. am AT&T & Verizon Shares slump due to T-Mobile's Gains

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/


Post No. 2,519 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. 

 A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & amp; 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 Thursday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 16444.76 down 17.98 or 0.11% from Wednesday's close of 16462.74. For the year the Dow is down0.80 %. Of the Dow components   11  gained, Chevron and Nike were unchanged and  17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise   was Boeing up $1.31 and percentage-wise was DuPont  up 1.28%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $1.04 and percentage-wise was Verizon down 2.06%.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2560.71 down 2.64 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2563.35. 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.

WSJ pC4 "Investros and stocks are stuck in neutral" by Chris Dieerich says stocks were little changed as investors puzzled over the market's sudden loss of momentum.

NYT pB6 "Little change in market on eve of jobs report" by Rueters says the stock market moved little on Thurs before the Dec employment report.  AT&T and Verizon shares fell a day after T-Mobile reported a 4Q increase in customer growth & offered to pay customers to switch from rival services.  AT&T lost 70 cents and Verizon slid $1.

IBD pB2 "Stocks give back gains, but firearms burn shorts" by Paul Whitfield says stocks staged a negative reversal Thurs with US listed Chinese stocks leading the way down as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.


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. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.88 down from Thursday's trailing P/E of 16.95 (last year it was 14.92). Friday's P/E estimate is 14.75 unchanged from yesterday's closing P/E estimate of 14.75 (year ago it was 12.22) and today's dividend yield is 2.32 up from yesterday's closing dividend yield of 2.07 (last year it was 2.61). The Dow's all-time high was 16,576.66 on December 31, 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  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.36 down 9 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $85.45. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.83 (WMT/HD) down 5 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $79.88. (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.


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 $264   ($256,351 - $256,071).

 MarketWatch 1/9/14 Thurs. 4:34 pm by Anora Mahmudova says the S&P 500 index eked out a marginal gain on Thursday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped, weighed down by losses for Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc.The S&P 500 index SPX +0.04%  ended the day fractionally higher at 1,838.13. The benchmark index rose only in two out of six sessions since start of the new year, but is still hovering near its peak reached on Dec. 31.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.11% lost 17.98 points, or 0.1% to 16,444.76, with Verizon VZ +1.26%  and AT&T T +0.21%  both dropping 2%. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.23% slipped 9.42 points, or 0.2% to 4,156.19.The number of Americans who applied to receive unemployment benefits in the first week of the new year fell to the lowest level since the end of November. In the week ended Jan. 4, initial jobless claims fell by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 330,000, the U.S. Department of Labor said Thursday. That matched the forecast of economists polled by MarketWatch.Investors are awaiting the official employment figures due to be released on Friday. Setting the tone for Friday’s job data was an upbeat report from Automatic Data Processing, showing that private employers created 238,000 jobs in December, exceeding estimates. Uber, the taxi-hailing smartphone app that has taken heat for the exorbitant cost of fares when demand is high, is lowering rates in some cities.Investors also focused on European Central Bank President Mario Draghi’s relatively dovish tone during the press conference following the central bank’s decision to hold its main interest rate unchanged at 0.25%. The Bank of England also left the rates unchanged at 0.5%.  Douglas Cote, chief investment strategist at ING Investment Management, said that the current pullback is reasonable and expected, given strong gains in the stock markets in 2013. “The baton has been passed down from the Fed to markets. Consistently good economic news is going to raise the questions of Fed accelerating tapering, which we believe will end by the end of 2014,” Cote said.
“Essentially, fundamentals drive markets: manufacturing, consumers and corporate profits – all of which are growing and bode well for stocks in 2014,” he said. “However, consistent good economic news begets more volatility. Markets will have to get used to higher volatility to be rewarded, as market-friendly quantitative easing is gradually withdrawn.”
  • Central banks: On Thursday, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank kept interest rates on hold. Janet Yellen, incoming Federal Reserve chairwoman, said in an interview with Time magazine that the U.S. economy would see stronger growth this year.
  • Movers and shakers: Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. BBBY -0.06%  shares fell 12.5% after the retailer reported fiscal third-quarter earnings and trimmed its outlook late Wednesday. Macy’s Inc. M +0.04%  jumped 7.6% after the retailer said it would lay off 2,500 workers and close five underperforming stores. Family Dollar Stores Inc. FDO -3.45%  shares recouped sharp losses but still closed 2% lower after the discount retailer’s quarterly results missed expectations. Apple Inc. AAPL -.00%  shares fell 1.3% after saying it will try to reach a settlement with Samsung on their long-running patent fight ahead of a new trial that is scheduled to begin in March in California. Chief executives from both companies will meet before Feb. 19 with a mediator following a meeting on Monday to discuss “settlement opportunities.” J.C. Penney Co. Inc. JCP +0.26%   climbed 3.7%, recouping some of its 10% loss from the previous session after the firm made veiled comments about its holiday sales. Airline companies added to the previous day’s gains, following an upbeat outlook on the sector from J.P. Morgan. Delta Air Lines Inc DAL -0.45%  added 4.2%, United Continental Holdings Inc. UAL +6.78%   soared 6.8% while Southwest Airlines Co LUV -2.79%   added 2.9%.
  • In other markets: European stocks finished lower. Asian markets were mostly lower as Japan gave away much of its gains from the previous session, while Chinese data weighed on stocks in China. The euro EURUSD -0.01%   weakened against the dollar on Mario Draghi’s comments, while gold prices GCG4 +0.15%   gained, and crude oil fell. Bank of America Merrill Lynch cut its gold forecast by 11% for 2014 to $1,150 an ounce, citing the lack of investor buying as a key concern.
