Post No. 2,532 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 Friday at 16458.56 up 41.55 or 0.25% from Thursday's close of 16417.01. For the week the Dow is up $21.51 or 0.13% from last Friday's close of 16,437.05. Of the Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Visa up $10.41 or 4.69%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Nike down $1.40 and percentage-wise was Intel down 2.6 %.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2562.86 up 6.47 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2556.39. 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 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 17.08 up from yesterday's trailing P/E of 17.06 (last year it was 15.01). Today's P/E estimate is 14.82 unchanged from Thursday's closing P/E estimate of 14.82 (year ago it was 12.21) and today's dividend yield is 2.09 up from yesterday's closing dividend yield of 2.08 (last year it was 2.62). 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.43 up 22 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $85.21. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.60 (WMT/HD) down 41 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $79.01 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was GE.
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 $647 ($256,286 -$255,629).
MarketWatch 1/17/14 Fri. 4:08 pm by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks closed generally lower on Friday as disappointing results from Intel Corp. and General Electric Co. weighed on sentiment. Investors also digested a mixed bag of economic data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.25%
closed 41.55 points, or 0.3%, higher at 16,458.56 as gains in Visa Inc. and American Express Company lifted the index. The blue-chip index added 0.1% over the week, its first weekly gain this year. The S&P 500
SPX
-0.39%
finished the day down 7.19 points, or 0.4%, to 1,838.70 and was 0.2% lower for the week. The Nasdaq Composite

The following are excerpts from Fri. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 16417.01 down 64.93 or 0.39% from Wednesday's close of 16481.94. For the year the Dow is down 0.96%. Of the Dow components 9 gained, Cisco was unchanged and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.02 and percentage-wise was McDonald's up 0.63%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $3.58 and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth Group down 2.78%.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2556.39 down 10.11 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2566.50. 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 "Stocks afflicted by earnings flu" by Kaitlyn Kiernan says disappointing corp earnings pushed stocks lower. The Dow fell as UnitedHealth & Goldman Sachs paced a decline in 19 of 30 components.
NYT pB8 "Gloom descends as earnings fall short" by AP & same article at AJC pA9 "Earnibngs news a damper" says a batch of negative firm news on Thurs gave investors something to worry about as Best Buy, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup & CSX reported disappointing earnings. Goldman was the biggest drag on the Dow falling $3.58 as it reported a drop in 4Q profit due to mortgage problems & lower rev in bond trading div.
USAT p1B "Big stock drops rock Wall Street" by Matt Krantz says investors were expecting volatility in '14 but this is ridiculous. The massive drops come as investors have been bracing for a correction.
FT p21 "UnitedHealth hit by regulation concerns despite higher profits" says UnitedHealth weighed on the main indices as it joined a series of household names to suffer an adverse reaction to their latest results. Fin'l stocks suffered as Goldman Sachs lost 2% as the biggest drag on the Dow.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.21 down 34 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $85.55. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.01 (WMT/HD) down 36 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $79.37 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Intel.
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 $1,011 ($256,650 -$255,629).
MarketWatch 1/16/14 Thur. 4:22 pm by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended Thursday lower snapping a two-day rally after disappointing earnings from Best Buy Co. Inc. and Citigroup Inc. dented sentiment.The S&P 500 SPX -0.14% lost 2.5 points, or 0.1% at 1,845.89, retreating from its record closing level reached on Wednesday.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.39% shed 64.93 points, or 0.4%, to 16,417.01. The blue-chip index was down in five out of past seven sessions.The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.09% edged up 3.8 points, or 0.1% to 4,218.69.After a two-day rally, cautious mood prevailed as investors piled into defensive stocks and sold off cyclicals. Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners, said a market correction is long overdue, and when it starts, the slide could be exacerbated given the big paper profits that investors have.“The economy is surprisingly strong and earnings are fairly good and the markets are priced to perfection. But at this point, markets are extended, as they have been going up almost in a straight line since March of 2009. There is no support level: If the markets start sliding there won’t be much resistance and the fall maybe quite drastic,” Landesman said.
Investors digested disappointing results from electronics retailer Best Buy and Citigroup as well as economic data that generally met expectations.Best Buy BBY +0.63% plunged 28.6% after the retailer reported unexpectedly disappointing holiday sales . The CEO called it a “speed bump.”Citigroup Inc. C +0.10% shares were down 4.4% after bank’s fourth-quarter earnings missed Wall Street estimates. Read David Weidner’s take on the results.Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.25% shares fell 2% after the bank announced a sharp drop in profits due to falling trading revenues.During an interview with Liaquat Ahamad, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the response to the financial crisis and said stock market valuations are within historic range. Commenting about the central bank’s bond purchases, known as quantitative easing, he said: “The problem with QE is that it works in practice but it doesn’t work in theory.”
Earlier, in a paper delivered at a Brookings Institution seminar on U.S. monetary policy, San Francisco Fed President John Williams warned of “nagging concerns that large-scale asset purchases carry with them particular risks to the economy or the health of the financial system that we still don’t fully understand.”
He also said the central bank’s new forward-guidance tool seems “overly simplified and prone to misinterpretation.”In economic news, the number of Americans who applied last week for unemployment benefits fell slightly and is now back to a level that prevailed shortly before the Thanksgiving holiday, broadly in line with economists’ forecasts. Separately, U.S. consumer prices rose a seasonally adjusted 0.3% in December, led by higher energy and shelter costs, the Labor Department said. The overall and core inflation numbers were also in line with expectations.Shares of asset manager BlackRock Inc. BLK +0.11% rose 1.6% after the firm said profit jumped 22% in the fourth quarter, as the amount of money it manages climbed 14%. The firm also raised its quarterly cash dividend to $1.93 per share.Yahoo Inc. YHOO +0.14% said after Wednesday’s closing bell that Chief Operating Officer Henrique de Castro is leaving the company, effective Thursday. Shares dropped 1.9%. Shares of Nu Skin NUS -0.34% plunged 38.5% on news that Chinese authorities have launched a probe into allegations that the distributor of personal care products is operating an illegal pyramid scheme.SolarCity Corp. SCTY +0.07% climbed 12.10% after Deutsche Bank analysts initiated coverage of the solar company with a buy rating and a $90 price target, according to news reports.Zoom Technologies Inc. ZOOM +17.21% revved up 17.2% as the tiny Chinese mobile and telecommunications investor rubber-stamped a deal late Wednesday to buy an online business travel provider.
