Post No. 2,549 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 as of January 27, 2014 and a summary of Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings as of January 27, 2014.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 15928.56 up 90.68 or 0.57% from Monday's close of 15837.88. Of the Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $1.56 and percentage-wise was Pfizer up 2.56%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.05 and percentage-wise was Cisco down 1.14%.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2480.33 up 7.70 from Friday's closing numerator of 2472.63. 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 Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.62 down from Monday's trailing P/E of 15.78 (last year it was 15.38). Tuesday's P/E estimate is 14.75 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 14.75 (year ago it was 12.28) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.43 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.18 (last year it was 2.51). 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.68 up 47 cents from Monday's average closing price of $82.21. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.61 (WMT/HD) up 6 cents from Monday's median closing price of $76.55 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was GE.
If Tuesday 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 $770 ($248,033 - $246,621).
MarketWatch
1/28/14 Tues. 4:39 pm by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended Tuesday with best gains in
two weeks, as indexes rebounded from heavy losses, which bruised the
markets in the previous three sessions. Rising emerging markets, upbeat
earnings from Pfizer Inc. and Ford Motor Co. as well as a rise in consumer confidence lifted sentiment.The S&P 500
SPX
+0.61%
closed up 10.94 points, or 0.6%, at 1,792.50, snapping a three-day skid. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.57%
gained 90.68 points, or 0.6%, to 15,928.562, breaking a five-day losing streak.The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.35%
finished the choppy trade with gains, rising 14.35 points, or 0.4%, to 4,097.96.The Nasdaq 100 index
NDX
-0.09%
, which includes the 100 largest nonfinancial equities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, fell 3.3 points, or 0.1% to 3,505.72, largely due to losses in Apple Inc.“It looks like markets reacted too much too fast in the past few days
and now realizing that it was slightly overdone. This kind of bounce is
expected when markets are oversold and calm returns,” said Rob Stein,
CEO of Astor Investment Management.Speaking about economic data, Stein said underlying trends are still strong.“The headline numbers in the durable goods data was lower than expected,
but it is a very volatile measure. The underlying trend is still robust
and continues to grow. As to the consumer confidence, we tend to
discount the index as it is just a survey of how people feel and has
little meaning,” Stein said.Consumer confidence climbed in January,
with assessments of both the present situation and expectations
improving, the Conference Board said Tuesday. The surprise rise took the
index to the 80.7 level, topping the economists’ estimate, who expected
a slight decline.Earlier, stock-index futures had pared gains after disappointing data on
durable goods orders and a small drop in house prices in December.Orders for big-ticket U.S. goods sank 4.3%
in December and posted the biggest drop since midsummer, largely
because of fewer bookings for autos, large aircraft and military
hardware, the government said Tuesday. The disappointing report --
economists expected a 1.8% increase in orders -- could lead to a
reduction in forecasts for fourth-quarter gross domestic product.

the first decline in a year, with nine of 20 tracked cities posting

two-day meeting on Tuesday. Most analysts expect the Fed to continue
reducing its bond-buying program by $10 billion a month.
In earnings news, Apple
AAPL
-0.06%
reported disappointing iPhone sales in its fiscal second-quarter report
after Monday’s close and shares sold off in after-hours trade. Selling
did not abate even as activist investor Carl Icahn announced he bought
another $500 million worth of Apple shares. The stock closed down 8% on
Tuesday, weighing on technology-oriented indexes.Pfizer
PFE
+0.09%
shares gained 2.6% after the pharmaceutical company’s results were
above analysts’ forecasts. Adjusted earnings rose 22% to 56 cents per
share, and revenue fell 2% to $13.56 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet
had expected earnings of 52 cents per share on sales of $13.36 billion.Ford
F
+0.06%
shares did not react much to estimate-beating quarterly earnings and
revenue. Shares closed virtually unchanged. The firm reported adjusted
fourth-quarter earnings of 31 cents a share and a rise in revenue to
$37.60 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of 27 cents a share and
$34.96 billion in revenue. The auto maker also said it expects 2014
pretax profit of between $7 billion and $8 billion.DuPont
DD
-1.11%
shares reversed earlier gains and closed down 1.1% even as the company
reported its profit doubled in the fourth quarter year-to-year and beat
Wall Street expectations. The chemical company said it would start a $5
billion share-repurchase program.

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 Monday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 15837.88 down 41.23 or 0.26% from Friday's close of 15879.11. For the year the Dow is down 4.46%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.74 and percentage-wise was Visa down 2.27%.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2466.21 down 6.42 from Friday's closing numerator of 2472.63. 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 "Traders dither and stocks follow" by Dan Strumpf says stocks notched another loss Mon as investors weighed whether a selloff in emerging markets that hit stocks last week had run its cost. Caterpillar was up $5.12 after it reported better than expected 4Q earnings. Caterpillar is charted under Good News as is Merck which was upgraded by Morgan Stanley to overweight.
IBD pB2 "Stocks pounded but end off lows Apple falls late" by Vincent Mao says Monday's action was down, but off lows in lower vol while the current outlook is an uptrend under pressure.
NYT pB4 "US market slump easing; europe & Asia still sliding" by David Jolly, Bettina Wassener says stocks remained under pressure on Mon after a steep selloff late last week.
FT p21 "Sprint races upwards after AT&T rules out Vodafone bid" says Verizon rose under 1% while AT&T was up 0.2%. Microsoft fell 1.5%. Caterpillar, the 2nd worst performer on the Dow last year, rose more than 4%.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.21 down 21 cents from Friday's average closing price of $82.42. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.55 (WMT/HD) down 24 cents from Friday's median closing price of $76.79 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Cisco.
If Monday 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 $4,965 ($247,263 - $246,621).
MarketWatch
1/27/14 Mon. 4:39 pm by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended Monday lower in a volatile session as
worries over emerging-markets currencies unsettled investors. Stocks
began the day on a higher note following upbeat results from
Caterpillar, but fell after home sales data showed a larger drop in
December than anticipated.Indexes tested key technical levels adding to the steep losses from
their worst week in over a year, after downbeat data from China and
selloffs in emerging-markets currencies triggered a global flight from
equities.The S&P 500
SPX
-0.49%
ended the session 8.73 points, or 0.5%, lower at 1,781.56, after
briefly venturing into positive territory in late trade. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.26%
closed down for the fifth-straight session. The blue-chip index opened
higher, buoyed by upbeat earnings and forecast from Caterpillar Inc, but
closed 41.23 points, or 0.3%, lower at 15,837.88.
The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
-1.08%
was the worst performing index on Monday. At session lows, the index
fell through its 50-day moving average, but pared some of the losses in
late trade. The tech-heavy index lost 44.56 points, or 1.1%, to
4,083.61. “Markets are looking for an excuse to take money off the table, as we
had a huge rally last year, said Scott Wren, senior equities strategist
at Wells Fargo Advisors.
“We are telling our retail investors that it is a buying opportunity and
instead of getting out, they should be considering putting more cash to
work. Retail investors should be welcoming such pullbacks, as the
12-month outlook for stocks, especially sectors such as industrials,
tech and consumer discretionary, which are usually hit the most during
such selloffs and become cheap,” he added.Frank Fantozzi, president and founder of Planned Financial Services,
believes recent selloffs in the U.S. stock market are driven by
temporary nervousness and anxiety, but said several years of bull
markets lie ahead of us.“Investors believe markets rallied too much at the end of last year. We
would not be surprised to see a 10% correction sometime this year,”
Fantozzi said.“We are optimistic about 2014, as capital spending by companies has
picked up and will continue to rise, according to leading indicators
data. If companies believe the economy is in good shape, then we will
see decent earnings, which will support a further rise in the S&P
500,” he added.Upbeat results from Caterpillar Inc. initially lifted the Dow, but gains
were capped amid broad-based selling. Shares of Caterpillar Inc.
CAT
-0.96%
, seen as an economic bellwether for global activity, rose 5.9%. The company posted fourth-quarter earnings
per share of $1.54, topping forecasts, and a 44% profit gain. Cost
cutting offset a sales drop of 10%. Caterpillar gave a forecast that
beat analysts estimates for the year, and said it expects a $1.7 billion
buyback in the first quarter of this year.Sales of new single-family homes
fell in December, but the whole of 2013 saw the highest sales level in
five years, the government reported Monday. Sales of new single-family
homes dropped 7% in December due to harsh winter weather. The median
price of new homes ticked up in December and for 2013, the median price
hit $265,800, up 8.4% from the prior year, the strongest annual growth
since 2005.Homebuilders fell after the housing data release and several ratings
downgrades. KB Home was downgraded to underweight from equalweight and
Toll Brothers’ rating was cut to equal weight from overweight.Shares in KB Home
KBH
-2.72%
fell 2.7%, while Toll Brothers’
TOL
+0.26%
shares lost 1.6%.Shares in Google Inc
GOOG
-0.57%
fell 2% after the company said it bought artificial-intelligence
company DeepMind. Samsung Electronics Co. and Google also signed a
long-term cross-licensing deal on technology patents.Shares in Care.com Inc
CRCM
-0.20%
, which jumped more than 40% on debut on Friday, continued to rise, adding 2.5%.Apple Inc
AAPL
-8.02%
shares slid more than 5% afterhours, as the tech group missed analysts
forecast on sales of iPhones, even though earnings per share beat
estimates.Investors will also focus on the Federal Reserve this week as the
central bank will take center stage on Wednesday. Most observers expect
the central bank to cut its bond-buying again, by about $10 million to
$65 billion a month. Expectations of Fed tapering are among the reasons Wall Street suffered its worst weekly performance in more than a year last week.In other markets, European stocks ended lower on Monday, while Asia
followed up those Wall Street losses with a 2.5% drop for the Nikkei 225 Index
JP:NIK
-2.51%
and a 2% loss for the Hang Seng Index
HK:HSI
-2.11%
