Post No. 2,572 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 Monday at 16207.14 up 103.84 or 0.64% from Friday's close of 16103.30. Of the Dow components 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $2.83 and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth Group up 2.98%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise wasVerizon down $1.04 or 2.2 %.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2523.71 up 16.18 from Friday's closing numerator of 2507.54. 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 C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.84 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.83 (last year it was 15.54). Monday's P/E estimate is14.50 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 14.25 (year ago it was 12.54) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.20 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.19 (last year it was 2.53). 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.12 up 56 cents from Friday's average closing price of $83.58. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $77.85 (HD/NKE) up 74 cents from Friday's median closing price of $77.11 (HD/NKE). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Verizon .
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 made $1,618 ($252,371 - $250,754).

Mon. 4:58 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis says US stocks climbed on Monday, boosted by M&A activity,
an upbeat German confidence report and bets that the S&P 500’s
foray into new high ground could spur further buying.The main indexes finished with solid gains, although they ended well off their session highs as buying momentum faded. The S&P 500
SPX
+0.62%
had been on pace to score a record closing high but didn’t deliver, with gains erased in the last hour of trading.The benchmark index rose 11.46 points, or 0.6%, to finish at 1,847.71 —
just below its Jan. 15 record close at 1,848.38. It had been up more
than 22 points intraday. Humana Inc.
HUM
-0.27%
closed up 10.6%, performing best among S&P 500 components.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.65%
gained 105.83 points, or 0.7%, to end at 16,209.13, led by UnitedHealth Group Inc.
UNH
+2.98%
, which jumped 3%. Shares in Humana and UnitedHealth, both health insurers, rallied following a JPMorgan note saying Medicare Advantage reimbursements will drop less than expected next yearThe Nasdaq added 29.56 points, or 0.7%, to close at 4,292.97, nabbing its highest close since April 2000.
“You had a pretty positive number out of Germany,” said Quincy Krosby,
market strategist at Prudential Financial, referring to the latest Ifo survey on German business confidence.“The deal flow is also beginning to gain momentum, and that’s very positive for markets,” she added.RF Micro Devices
RFMD
+21.00%
said Monday that it will merge with TriQuint Semiconductor Inc.
TQNT
+26.11%
in an all-stock deal. RF Micro closed up 21%, while TriQuint surged 26%.Jos. A. Bank
JOSB
+9.06%
shares rose 9.1% after Men’s Wearhouse Inc.
MW
+7.54%
upped its offer for its rival to $63.50 a share.
The amended offer is conditioned on Jos. A. Bank terminating its recent
agreement to buy Eddie Bauer. Men’s Wearhouse shares rose 7.5%.Monday’s deal news follows other recent M&A events, including Facebook Inc.’s
FB
+0.23%
purchase of WhatsApp, Comcast Corp.’s
CMCSA
+0.02%
plan to buy Time Warner Cable Inc.
TWC
-0.98%
and Actavis PLC’s
ACT
+1.81%
agreement to buy Forest Laboratories Inc.
FRX
-0.36%
Krosby said the announced deals can have a “halo effect,” spurring some
investors to think they’re going to see more deals in other sectors.Some market analysts have said they see limited gains for stocks in the
near term, citing resistance for the S&P 500 as the benchmark index
trades around its record level.
“Every time you get to these levels there’s always a back and forth,”
Krosby told MarketWatch. She said at some point, something will push
the S&P 500 to a new record close, or it won’t be able to break out.

The following are excerpts from Mon. 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, 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 Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 16103.30 down 29.93 or 0.19 % from Thursday's close of 16133.23. For the week the Dow is down 50.7 or 0.03% from last Friday's close of 16154.39. For the year the Dow is down 2.86%. Of the Dow components 12 gained, Goldman Sachs was unchanged and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Disney up 94 cents and percentage-wise were Disney and Nike both up 1.19 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down $1.92 and percentage-wise was Verizon down 1.77%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2507.54 down 4.86 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2512.20. 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.
Sat. WSJ pB5 "Dow ends 2 week winning streak" by Matt Jarzemsky says US stocks edged lower snapping a 2 week streak of gains for the Do9w. The pause highlights 8investors' debate over whether to brush off recent sluggish economic readings as aberrations caused by severe winter weather rather than indicative of a real slowdown.
Sat. NYT pB2 "Weak news on home sales helps send shares down" by Reuters says stocks slipponed fri after a report of declining home sales & reflecting some trades related to expiring options.
Sat. AJC pA8 "Losing week for Dow, S&P" by AP says the stock market slipped on Fri, pushing the market to a weekly loss as investors assessed the latest round of company earnings.
IBD pB8 "U turn takes stocks south, but IBD 50 outperforms" by Paul Whitfield says stocks staged a negative reversal Fri finishing slightly down after early gains evaporated as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.58 down 16 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $83.74. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $77.11 (HD/NKE) down 54 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $75.65 (HD/NKE). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Verizon.
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 lost $486 ($251,220 - $259,754).
2/21/14
Fri. 5:03 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis says US stocks stepped
lower Friday and finished mostly down for the week, as the S&P
500 snapped a two-week winning streak that’s left it just below a
record level.Stocks spent most of the session in modestly positive
territory, but those gains faded by day’s end. The S&P 500
SPX -0.19%
dipped 3.53 points, or 0.2%, to close at 1,836.25, as telecoms fared
worst and consumer discretionary performed best. The benchmark index
lost 0.1% for the week, putting it 0.7% below its Jan. 15 record close
of 1,848.38.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.19% shed 29.93 points, or 0.2%, to finish at 16,103.30. Nike Inc. NKE -0.25% and Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.09% both gained 1.2% to lead the Dow, while Verizon Communications Inc. VZ -1.77%
fell 1.8% for the worst performance among blue chips. The Dow dipped
0.3% for the week, also halting a two-week winning streak.The Nasdaq
Composite COMP -0.10%
edged down 4.13 points, or 0.1%, to close at 4,263.41. But the
tech-laden index still finished up 0.5% for the week — its third
straight weekly gain.The Mobile World Congress promises to break news of
several new phones, including a first look at the Samsung S5.Stocks
have been bouncing back from a slump in late January and early
February, as investors lately look past a number of disappointing
economic reports, attributing them to the particularly bad winter weather that’s hit much of the U.S. On Friday, existing-home sales in January showed a bigger-than-expected decline, but unusually poor weather may have played a role, the National Association of Realtors said.
But
there is a challenge presented by how stock investors have reacted to
weak data, according to Steven Wieting, global chief investment
strategist for Citi Private Bank.Markets “that have looked over the
valley to a stronger period of U.S. growth ahead, may not have to ‘tilt
up’ when that recovery from weather-related weakness becomes
apparent,” Wieting said in a client note on Friday.Nonetheless, Citi
Private Bank still predicts moderate gains for U.S. stocks. Wieting
said his bank’s “expectation for a roughly 7% gain in U.S. market
earnings per share, low interest rates and growing dividends leaves us
expecting further U.S. market gains, if more modest than 2013.”In other
economic news on Friday, Dallas Federal Reserve President Richard Fisher said the central bank should continue to taper its bond-buying program that’s boosted stocks.
“There
wasn’t that much news. Basically what we saw was typical volatility on
options expirations,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at
Rockwell Global Capital. Monthly options expirations
were on the calendar.When the S&P 500 couldn’t punch through to
a new 52-week high earlier Friday, that might have invited some
selling, Cardillo added. But overall, the holiday-shortened week
“wasn’t bad” and Friday’s market action wasn’t a “game changer,” he
said. Among individual stocks, Groupon Inc. GRPN +0.87% slid 22% after the daily-deals company late Thursday delivered a disappointing outlook.Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -0.30% fell 1.3%, as the PC and printers maker cut short an early rally on its upbeat quarterly results.Priceline.com Inc. PCLN -0.06% climbed 2.5% after the online travel broker late Thursday reported fourth-quarter results that exceeded expectations.In other financial markets on Friday, European stock markets closed higher, following a mostly upbeat session in Asia . Metals prices rose, while oil prices suffered. The dollar dipped against major rivals.
