Post No. 2,580 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 and a summary of Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 16321.71 up 49.06 or 0.30% from Thursday's close of 16272.65. For the week the Dow was up 218.41 or 1.36% from last Friday's close of 16103.30. Of the Dow components 21 gained, Intel was unchanged and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth Group up $1.25 or 1.64%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down 36 cents and percentage-wise was AT&T down 0.93%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2541.55 up 17.64 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2533.91. 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 Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.00 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.93 (last year it was 15.55). Friday's P/E estimate is 14.50 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 14.50 (year ago it was 12.54) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.17 down from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.20 (last year it was 2.55). 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.72 up 26 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $84.46. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.74 (PG/DIS) up 40 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $79.34 (PG/DIS). 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 made $1,764 ($254,155 - $253,391).
2/28/14 Fri. 4:10 pm MarketWatch by William L. Watts says finished the week and the month with solid gains, even as Friday's rally gave way to choppy trading alongside rising concerns over the situation in Ukraine. Stocks were initially boosted by better-than-expected Chicago PMI and consumer-sentiment reports and shrugged off a sharp cut in the estimate of fourth-quarter U.S. economic growth that nonetheless matched expectations. The S&P 500SPX +0.28% was up 5.16 points, or 0.3%, at 1,859.53, well off its session highs, but still at a new record close. The benchmark index gained 1.3% for the week and 4.3% for the month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.30% rose 49.06 points, or 0.3%, to 16,321.71, gaining 1.4% on the week and nearly 4% over the month. The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -0.25% closed lower, losing 10.81 points, or 0.3%, to 4,308.12, but still was 1.1% higher on the week and up 5% for the month.

A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.
WSJ pC1 "S&P 500 marches higher to record finish" by Tomi Kilgore, Matt Jarzemsky says US stocks surged to their latest record extending their rebound from a late Jan selloff & sending the S&P 500 Index into positive territory for the year.
USAT p3B "In record setting run, Dow is laggard" by Adam shell says the S&P hit a new closing record but the Dow remains more than 304 points or 1.8% below its 12/31/13 record close of 16,576.66.
IBD pB2 "Stocks up in fading trade; street awaits GDP number" by Paul Whitfield says Thursday's action saw good gains in lower trade while the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
NYT pB6 "S&P sets new high mark" by AP says the stock market has staged an impressive turnaround in Feb as it slumped at the start of the year on concerns over growth prospects in China & the US.
FT p21 "Wall street" by Eric Platt says equity markets drifted for their 3rd straight day as durable goods orders fell less than many economists had feared & jobless claims worsened.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.46 up 38 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $84.08. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.34 (PG/DIS) up 9 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $79.25 (NIKE/DIS). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Verizon .
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 $1,156 ($253,391 - $252,235).
2/27/14 Thurs. 4:24 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says the benchmark S&P 500 closed at a fresh record Thursday, as investors welcomed dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen before the Senate Banking Committee.
Yellen’s comments, in which she reaffirmed the central bank’s accommodative policy, pushed the index above the key technical level of 1,850 to the new high, after three straight unsuccessful attempts this week.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.50% finished the day 9.13 points, or 0.5% higher at 1,854.29 and turned positive for the year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.46% ended the session 74.30 points, or 0.5%, higher at 16,272.71.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.63% closed at the best level since April 2000, adding 26.87 points, or 0.6%, to 4,318.93.
“There is no difference between Yellen Fed and Bernanke Fed and markets like that. She also reassured markets that the Fed is not on autopilot and adjustments will be made if warranted,” said Kim Caughey Forrest, a portfolio manager and senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group.
Yellen told senators it was difficult to tell how much of the recent decline in U.S. economic growth was due to weather, adding the central bank might consider a pause in its reduction of bond buying if the weakness persists.
In economic news, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits rose last week to match the highest level of 2014, suggesting that progress in a gradually recovering U.S. labor market has slackened off. However, the average of new claims over the past month, usually a more reliable gauge than the up-and-down weekly number, was unchanged at 338,250.
A slowdown in orders over the past few months by American manufacturers was reflected in the durable-goods orders reading for January, however the drop was less than forecast. Orders for U.S. durable goods fell 1.0% in January as demand tapered off for most big-ticket items except military hardware, the government said Thursday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected orders to fall 2.5%.
Investors kept a close eye on the much-hyped technical level of 1,850 on the S&P 500.
“This market seems to be driven by technical levels, rather than data. If we push through the 1,850, then we will go higher. But if we stay below that market for the next few days, then markets will head south and we will test 1,750,” said Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners.
In corporate news, J.C. Penney Co. JCP +0.13% jumped 25% to $7.47, after making gains late Wednesday on better-than-expected results.
Mylan Inc. MYL +0.16% shares gained 9.4%, after the pharmaceutical company on Thursday reported fourth-quarter profit above analysts forecasts.
First Solar Inc. FSLR +0.05% shares climbed 8.4%, recovering some of the solar panel maker’s sharp losses on Wednesday after its fourth-quarter earnings fell short of expectations.
Sears Holdings Corp. SHLD +0.02% rose 6.5% after the retailer said its losses narrowed compared with the same period a year ago.
Best Buy Co Inc. BBY -0.24% shares rose as much as 7% after the retailer said it swung to a fourth-quarter profit , beating forecasts, however, gains fizzled out and shares closed 1% lower.
Pacific Ethanol Inc. PEIX +2.41% rallied 65% to $14.94 after the low-carbon renewable-fuel company reported that it swung to a profit in the fourth quarter.
Overseas, Asian markets were mixed and European stocks fell. Gold prices rose as political turmoil in Ukraine prompted haven buying and the dollar rose against the Russian ruble but weakened against euro.
