Post No. 2,506 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 Thursday at 16441.35 down 135.31 or 0.82% from Tuesday's close of 16576.66. Of the Dow components 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart up 22 cents or 0.28%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was 3M down $2.12 and percentage-wise was DuPont 1.94%.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2560.18 down 21.07 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2581.25. 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 Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.07 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E of 16.83 (last year it was 14.55). Thursday's P/E estimate is 15.25 unchanged from Tuesday's closing P/E estimate of 15.25 (year ago it was 12.57) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.05 down from Tuesday's closing dividend yield of 2.06 (last year it was 2.68). 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 $85.34 down 40 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $86.04. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.47 (WMT/HD) down 5 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $80.52. (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 made $ 2,107 ($256,018 - $258,125).
MarketWatch
1/4/13 Tues. 4:24 pm by Anora Mahmudova says stocks on Wall Street closed sharply lower on
the first trading day of 2014 after data pointed to a slowdown in
manufacturing expansion in China and the United States.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.82%
fell 135.31 points, or 0.8%, to 16,441.35, marking its biggest one-day point loss since Nov. 7.The S&P 500
SPX
-0.89%
dropped 16.38 points, or 0.9%, to 1,831.98. Broad-based losses on the
S&P 500 were led by the technology and energy sectors.The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite
COMP
-0.80%
dropped 33.52 points, or 0.8%, to 4,143.07.The main stock indexes fell on the first trading day of the year for the
first time since 2008 and analysts said that losses were due to
profit-taking after the market’s strong rally in 2013. The Dow and
S&P 500 both ended 2013 at record highs on Tuesday and U.S. markets
were closed on Wednesday for New Year’s Day.Thursday’s losses came as data raised some concerns about manufacturing
growth. China’s official manufacturing purchasing managers index fell in
December to 51.0 from 51.4 in the previous month, pointing to the
difficulties facing exporters. In the U.S., the Institute for Supply
Management reported that its closely followed manufacturing index
slipped to 57% in December from 57.3% the month before. The level
indicates a slower but still-healthy pace of expansion.Upbeat data on jobless claims did little to cheer investors. Initial weekly claims for unemployment benefits fell by 2,000 to 339,000 last week, the Labor Department reported.
“Today’s jobless claims and manufacturing data were positive and showed
continued momentum in the economy,” said Quincy Krosby, market
strategist at Prudential Financial.“The ISM headline number was not spectacular, but if you look at the
details, new orders were sharply up. The improving economy is also
reflected in 10-year Treasury yields, which are marching higher. All
this bodes well for stocks, so we see today’s pullback as profit-taking
and consolidation.”Yields on the 10-year Treasury note
10_YEAR
-1.62%
traded near 3%.“Retails investors, who are usually the ‘morning’ traders, are readjusting their portfolios after great returns,” Krosby said.

The comment:
Nouriel Roubini — a.k.a. ‘Dr. Doom’ — is getting optimistic
. The respected New York University economist has been pivoting toward a
more optimistic outlook over the past few months. Now, his latest 2014
outlook definitely bolsters his nascent bullish credentials.

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times &, USA Today, 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 16576.66 up 72.37 or 0.44% from Monday's close of 16504.29. For the year the Dow gained 26.50%.

MarketWatch 12/31/13 Tues. 3:32 pm by William L. Watts says U.S. stocks trimmed gains but were still set to end a record-breaking 2013 on a high note, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 venturing further into uncharted territory as the blue-chip index remained on track for its largest annual percentage gain since 1995.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.40% was up 1.74 points, or 0.1%, at 1,842.81, contributing to a 29.2% rise for the year and leaving it on track for its largest annual percentage jump since 1997.
The Dow industrialsDJIA +0.44% remained up 16.20 or 0.3%, to trade at 16,520.49, a day after the index notched its 51st record close of 2013. The blue chips are on track for an annual rise of more than 26%.
The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP +0.54% , meanwhile, advanced 12.74 points, or 0.3%, to 4,166.66 The index is up more than 38% over the course of 2013, which would be the biggest rise since 2009.
The strength of the 2013 rally caught most market prognosticators by surprise.
The previous year saw investors fretting over numerous events, from the presidential election to the impending fiscal cliff and Europe’s debt crisis. With the election in the rearview mirror, policy makers averting a disastrous fiscal mistake and Europe appearing to be slowly on the mend, the stock market in 2013 likely captured some of the returns that would otherwise have been produced in 2012, said Stuart Freeman, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors in St. Louis.
The S&P 500 advanced 13.4% in 2012, according to FactSet.
While the market’s strong finish into the end of the year has investors worrying that a pullback may be overdue, Freeman sees little threat for a January pullback. Fourth-quarter earnings are likely to top expectations and the market seasonally performs well in the January-to-May period, in part due to flows to retirement accounts.
Investors in 2014, however, are likely to see a “bumpier ride,” he said.
“Our position is the year will bring a much more moderate return and more volatility,” Freeman said.
Meanwhile, U.S. economic growth and job creation appear likely to continue slowly gaining momentum, providing room for increased capital spending, while a further recovery in Europe will also aid large-cap firms with heavy international sales exposure, he said.
Freeman said he expects large-cap cyclicals to take over leadership in 2014 after outperformance by mid- and small-cap firms in 2013. Wells Fargo has overweight recommendations on the industrial, consumer discretionary and technology sectors, while underweighting utilities and health care.
Volume remained light on Tuesday. Stocks are putting in a full day of trading, but markets will be closed Wednesday for New Year’s Day.
Economic data provided a little fodder in early action. Stocks extended gains Tuesday morning after the Conference Board said its consumer confidence index rose more than expected to 78.2 in December from a revised 72 in November.
“Rising equity markets, improving labor market conditions, rising home values and relative stability in Washington has consumers feeling more optimistic as we turn the corner into 2014,” said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Sterne Agee.
“Of course optimism can only go so far. Eventually that euphoric feeling will have to be supported by sustainable job and income growth in order to sustain the heightened growth and spending levels a +75 confidence reading implies,” Piegza said, in a note. Earlier, stock-index futures were little budged by a 0.2% rise in the Case-Shiller home-price index for October. Stocks trimmed gains slightly but remained in positive territory after the Chicago Business Barometer, a gauge of business activity in the region, fell more than expected in December but remained strong overall.
The index dropped to 59.1% in December from 63% a month earlier. Economists had expected a reading of 61%. Any reading above 50% indicates expansion. Among blue chips, American Express Co. AXP +0.02% rose 1%, while Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO +0.11% added 0.7% to lead the Dow higher.
Boeing Co. BA +0.00% , followed by American ExpressAXP +0.02% , have been the top Dow performers in 2013, with Boeing up more than 80% since the beginning of the year and American Express adding more than 57%.
Shares of streaming movie-rental firm Netflix /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed/quotes/nls/nflx NFLX +0.02% slipped 0.4% after the firm said Chief Executive Reed Hastings would get a 50% raise in 2014.
Shares of Hertz Global HoldingsHTZ +10.46% gained more than 10% after the car-rental company said it would adopt a so-called poison pill aimed at barring investors from collecting a controlling stake in the company.
Twitter Inc. TWTR +5.27% was on the rebound after a two-day slide, rising 4.3% after tumbling more than 5% Monday and 13% on Friday. The sharp pullback came after a downgrade Friday by Macquarie analyst Ben Schacher. Twitter, which made its trading debut in an initial public offering last month, remains up more than 50% since the beginning of December.
