Post No. 2,535 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 Tuesday's Investor's Business Daily, Monday's Barron's; the combined Sat/Sun issues of the Wall Street Journal & Financial Times;& Monday's & Sunday's & Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal & amp; 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 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. For the year the Dow is down 0.71%. 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.
WSJ pB5 "Disappointing earnings at Intel, GE weigh on stocks" by Matt Jarzemsky says stocks mostly fell as investors digested disappointing earnings from Intel and GE. The Dow was bolstered by gains in Visa, IBM & Goldman Sachs.

Sat. NYT pB7 "Weak earnings weigh on S&P and Nasdaq" by Reuters says the S&P 500 & nasdaq declined Fri as reports from Intel and GE were the latest to dampen the outlook on 4Q earnings.
FT p11 "Amex races to a record high after profits double" by Eric Platt says American express hit an all time high lifting its market cap to almost $100bn after reporting 4Q profits that doubled from a eyar earlier. GE fell after its missed goals set by the CEO. Intel fell 3% after reporting quarterly results short of analyst expectations.

Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.04 down from Friday's trailing P/E of 17.08 (last year it was 15.12). Tuesday's P/E estimate is 14.82 unchanged from Friday's closing P/E estimate of 14.82 (year ago it was 12.28) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.08 down from Friday's closing dividend yield of 2.09 (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.
