Post No. 2,516 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 Wednesday at 16462.74 down 68.2 or 0.41% from Tuesday's close of 16530.94. Of the Dow components 8 gained and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont up 80 cents or 1.28%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down $1.78 and percentage-wise was AT&T down 2.03%.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2563.35 up 10.78 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2574.13. 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 Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 17.02 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E of 16.92 (last year it was 14.80). Wednesday'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 2.02 down from yesterday's closing dividend yield of 2.07 (last year it was 2.58). 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.45 down 35 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $85.80. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.88 (WMT/HD) down 10 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $79.98. (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
If Wednesday 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 $1,078 ($256,351 - $257,413).
MarketWatch
1/8/14 Wed. 4:24 pm by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stock closed mostly lower on Wednesday after minutes
from the last Federal Open Market Committee meeting showed that a
majority of officials judged the effects of the monthly asset purchases
to be diminishing over time.Investors also pondered the implications of an upbeat private-sector jobs report that was released on Wednesday morning. The S&P 500
SPX
-0.02%
closed down less than a point to 1,837.49. On Tuesday, the benchmark
index recorded its first gain this year, snapping a three-day skid.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
-0.41%
fell 68.20 points, or 0.4%, on Wednesday to 16,462.74, while the Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.30%
rose 12.43 points, or 0.3%, to 4,165.61.Federal Reserve officials agreed in December to scale back their
asset-purchase program as most believed that the benefits of the
controversial policy were eroding as time passed, according to minutes
from their last meeting released Wednesday. By a 9-to-1 vote, the Fed on
Dec. 18 decided to trim its asset-purchase program by $10 billion to
$75 billion per month starting in January.“What surprised us and other investors the most was the fact that the
main reason behind the taper decision was not so much the improving
economy, but what they saw as diminishing effects of the asset
purchases,” said Chris Gaffney, senior market strategist at EverBank.“The reaction was largely muted because markets have shifted their focus
from tapering of the monetary stimulus back to the economy and
earnings,” Gaffney said.Automatic Data Processing said on Wednesday that private employers created 238,000 jobs in
December, exceeding estimates. Economists polled by MarketWatch
expected a gain of 215,000 jobs. Economists use ADP’s data to get a
sense of the U.S. Labor Department’s employment report, which will be
released Friday and covers government jobs in addition to the private
sector.
Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote that
while “it is not a guarantee, the odds now favor a consensus-beating
report on Friday.”• Better-than-expected jobs numbers strengthened the case for further
tapering of the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program, which has boosted
equities. Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors,
said markets were wrong to sell off on good news and will eventually
correct themselves.“The ADP numbers were excellent today, not only did they beat consensus
estimates by a wide margin, the November numbers were also revised
upwards,” Orlando said.
“These numbers, as well as phenomenal numbers from the trade deficit
data, have prompted many analysts to upgrade their estimates for the
GDP,” he added.Shares of Micron Technology Inc.

MarketWatch
1/7/14 Tues. 4:20 pm by Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks
rallied
on Tuesday, helped by data showing a smaller-than-expected trade gap
and gains by health-care stocks following an upgrade for UnitedHealth
Group Inc.Firmer overseas markets also provided a lift, and traders
absorbed largely encouraging comments from Federal Reserve officials.The
S&P 500
SPX
+0.61%
gained 11.11 points, or 0.6%, to close at 1,837.88, snapping the three-day losing streak
that it endured at the start of 2014. The benchmark index climbed
nearer to its record closing level of 1,848.36 hit on Dec. 31.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.64%
rose 105.84 points, or 0.6%, to end at 16,530.94. UnitedHealth Group Inc.
UNH
+0.20%
performed best among Dow components and provided a boost to the blue-chip index after Deutsche Bank upgraded the company
on Tuesday to buy from hold. The Dow moved near to its own Dec. 31 record close of 16,576.66.The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.96%
advanced 39.50 points, or 1%, to finish at 4,153.18.Tuesday’s trade
report made some strategists more optimistic about U.S. economic
growth.“The U.S. trade deficit is the arcane statistic to watch in 2014,
and it
opened with a positive whammy, decreasing by 13% from a revised down
deficit last month,” said strategists at ING Investment Management in a
note on Tuesday.“This is a direct benefit to top line GDP growth, and we
can expect
positive surprises here as well. So while the S&P 500 began the
year
with a rough start, it looks like the economy is doing just fine.”
-
Today’s economic news:
The U.S. trade deficit fell to $34.3 billion in November, the Commerce Department
said on Tuesday. That was a steeper-than-expected drop and could signal
a stronger economy. Meanwhile, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said
the central bank should only wind down its bond-buying program gradually. San Francisco Fed President John Williams said the Fed likely will end its bond buys this year, adding that he sees “newfound momentum” in the economy.
-
What strategists are saying:
“As a whole, the November trade report adds upside risk to our
[fourth-quarter] GDP forecast and it now looks like [fourth-quarter]
real GDP growth is tracking closer to 3.0% than the current 2.5%
forecast,” said Daniel Silver, a J.P. Morgan economist, in a note on
Tuesday. But overall this week, investors likely will pay the most
attention to Friday’s jobs report and Wednesday’s release of minutes
from the Fed’s Dec. 18 meeting, where the central bank decided to taper its bond buys. Earnings season also unofficially kicks off Thursday.

Today’s movers and shakers:
Shares in retailer GameStop Corp.
GME
-0.66%
lost 8.4% on news of another way to buy video games, while Netflix Inc.
NFLX
-0.13%
fell 5.6% after Morgan Stanley cut the video-streaming company to underweight from equal weight. Read more in the Movers & Shakers column.
- Other markets: European stocks pushed higher Tuesday after the annual rate of euro-zone inflation fell further below the European Central Bank’s target in December. That triggered some deflation concerns, but analysts also said it could put pressure on the ECB to respond with stimulus measures. Asian stocks closed mostly higher, while gold fell, but the dollar rose and oil futures snapped a five-session losing streak.
