Post No. 2,563 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 Thursday at 16027.59 up 63.65 or 0.40 % from Wednesday's close of 15963.94. Of the Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.60 and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth Group up 1.38 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco down 58 cents or 2.54%.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2495.75 up 9.91 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 2485.84. 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 Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.63 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.66 (last year it was 15.38). Thursday's P/E estimate is14.09 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 14.09 (year ago it was 12.54) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.18 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.17 (last year it was 2.57). 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 $83.19 up 23 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $82.86. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.48 (WMT/HD) up 36 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $76.12 (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 $991 ($249,575 - $245,939).
2/13/14 Thurs. 4:483 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks closed higher on Thursday as investors focused on upbeat earnings and deal news and shrugged off weak economic data. The Nasdaq Composite rose for the sixth consecutive session, its longest winning streak in two months.
Weaker-than-expected retail sales in January and a surprise uptick in
weekly jobless claims set a gloomy tone at the market open, but indexes
quickly reversed losses and moved higher.
The S&P 500
SPX
+0.58%
closed 10.57 points, or 0.6%, higher at 1,829.83, with all 10 main
sectors gaining. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.40%
added 63.65 points, or 0.4%, to 16,027.59. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+0.94%
rose 39.38 points, or 0.9%, to 4,240.67. “Initial reaction to weak retail sales and jobless claims is being
replaced with fundamentals. Some of today’s earnings and deal news are
providing support,” said Chris Gaffney, senior market strategist at
EverBank. “The economic data were certainly disappointing, but trends do
not indicate a slide to recession. Besides, Yellen has reassured
investors that the Fed will stay accommodative and there will be no
tightening this year.”Sales at U.S. retailers fell
sharply in January and December turned out to be worse than initially
reported, offering more evidence that the economy may have softened
toward the end of the year.Initial jobless claims rose
by 8,000 to 339,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Economists
polled by MarketWatch expected claims to fall slightly to 330,000. The
four-week moving average was 336,750, an increase of 3,500.Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen’s scheduled appearance before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday was postponed due to a snowstorm.
It wasn’t clear that the snowstorm did much to clip volumes, however.
While volume for NYSE-listed stocks, at 3.2 billion, was the lowest
since January 6, volume for Nasdaq-listed shares was the most since
Feb. 3.Investors focused on deal news and a mixed bag of earnings.Time Warner Cable
TWC
-0.06%
climbed 7% on news that Comcast
CMCSA
+0.29%
will buy TWC for $45.2 billion
in a deal that would combine the two biggest U.S. cable operators.
Comcast shares fell 4.1%. Shares of Charter Communications Inc.
CHTR
-6.29%
fell 6.3%; the rival cable operator had waged a month-long battle to buy Comcast.Shares in Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
GT
+11.46%
rallied 11% after the company reported a larger fourth-quarter profit and beat estimates.Cisco Systems Inc.
CSCO
-0.40%
fell 2.5% after the networking-equipment company late Wednesday said its fiscal second-quarter profit fell. Read: Cisco CFO: ‘There’s been a slowdown, and it’s very abrupt’

Also late Wednesday, Whole Foods Market Inc.
WFM
+0.04%
said its fiscal first-quarter earnings rose
, but the high-end supermarket chain lowered its fiscal 2014 earnings-per-share outlook, sending the shares down 7.2%.Shares of PepsiCo Inc.
PEP
-2.21%
fell 2.2% even as the company topped forecasts for its core earnings.
The company also said it would boost its annualized dividend by 15% and
it planned to increase share buybacks in 2014 to around $5 billion.In other financial markets, the mood was mostly downbeat. The dollar declined and oil prices were lower. Gold prices rose, however. European stock markets fell and Asian bourses closed
in negative territory.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's Business Daily, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times & New York Times 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 15794.08 up 165.55 or 1.06% from Thursday's close of 15628.53. For the week the Dow was up 95.23 or 0.06% from last Friday's close of 15698.85. For the year the Dow is down 4.72%. Of the Dow components 29 gained and only Coke declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up $4.35 or 3.55%. The only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Coke down 8 cents or 0.21%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2459.39 up 25.78 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2433.61. 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.
IBD pB8 "Stock indexes find thrust: is correction all but over?: by Paul Whitfield says Friday's action was up in mixed volume while the current outlook is the market is in a correction.
Sat. WSJ pB1 "Shaky data can't stop stock rally" by Matt Jarzemsky, Kaitlyn Kiernan, Alexandra Scaggs says the Dow soared to its 2nd straight triple digit gain after the Labor Dept reported the US economy added just 113,000 jobs in Jan far fewer than expected.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $81.98 up 86 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $81.12. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.10 (WMT/HD) up 61 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $74.49 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $2,578 ($245,939 - $243,361).
2/7/14
Fri. 5:23 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks finished
the week with modest gains after a
two-day rally helped indexes break a streak of weekly losses. The main
indexes trimmed year-to-date declines, and some analysts are predicting
an end to the pullback, which began near the middle of January.On Friday
investors shrugged off disappointing January jobs gains and
instead focused on the more positive details in the government’s report.
The unemployment rate ticked down while the labor force participation
rate edged up.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+1.06%
closed near session highs, adding 165.55 points, or 1.1%, to 15,794.08.
The blue-chip index gained 0.6% over the past week, ending a two-week
losing streak. The S&P 500
SPX
+1.33%
closed up 23.59 points, or 1.3%, at 1,797.02 and recorded a 0.8% weekly
gain after three straight weeks of losses. The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+1.69%
ended the day 68.74 points, or 1.7%, higher at 4,125.86, gaining 0.5% for the week.The U.S. economy added 113,000 jobs in January
and the unemployment rate fell to another post-recession low, of 6.6%,
but the pace of hiring appears to have slowed over the past few months,
according to new government figures.“The top line in the jobs report was weak but the details had many
positive aspects,” said Paul Zemsky, chief investment officer of
Multi-Asset Strategies at ING U.S. Investment Management.“The household survey side of the report, which we think leads the
businesses survey, was far stronger at 638,000 -- there is a big
discrepancy, so we believe the labor market is stronger than what the
headline number suggests,” Zemsky said.
“Also, the fact that the unemployment rate fell and labor force participation rose is a good sign,” he added.
Details in the report, including an increase in aggregate hours worked
and average weekly earnings, signaled a “reduction in labor-market
slack,” said Millan Mulraine, deputy head of U.S. research and strategy
at TD Securities.Adding to the positive sentiment were upbeat earnings from Expedia Inc.
EXPE
+14.29%
. Shares surged 14% after the company’s quarterly profits beat estimates.Shares of Activision Blizzard Inc.
ATVI
+14.39%
jumped 14%. The videogame company reported a 51% decline in fourth-quarter profit late Thursday, but shares rallied as adjusted results beat expectations.Apple Inc.
AAPL
+0.17%
shares rose 1.4% after the Wall Street Journal reported the company bought $14 billion of its own shares
in the two weeks since reporting results that left investors
disappointed.From the turmoil in emerging markets to worries about Fed
tapering, the more confusing the market seems to get, the more investors
need to develop their voice of reason.Shares of LinkedIn Corp.
LNKD
+0.34%
fell 6.2% after the social network for professionals posted a weak outlook, though fourth-quarter results topped analysts’ forecasts late Thursday.
Cigna Corporation
CI
-0.47%
shares tumbled 9.2% after the health insurer’s disappointing fourth-quarter earnings
added to Wall Street worries that insurers are getting squeezed by rising medical costs.In other markets, European stocks moved higher after the U.S jobs data, while Asia
closed broadly higher. The dollar rose against the yen but fell against the euro on Friday.Gold futures rose for the third straight day, gaining nearly 2% over the week. Oil futures rallied, adding nearly 3% over the week.
