Post No. 2,556 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 Wednesday at 15440.23 down 5.01 or 0.03% from Tuesday's close of 15445.24. Of the Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $1.51 and percentage-wise was Disney up 1%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $1.34 and percentage-wise was Pfizer down 2.51%.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2404.29 down 1.48 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 2405.77. 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 14.95 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.71 (last year it was 15.43). Wednesday's P/E estimate is 14.15 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 14.15 (year ago it was 12.54) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.23 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.50). 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 $80.14 down 3 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $80.17. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $74.07 (WMT/HD) up 22 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $73.85 (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 lost $148 ($240,507 - $240,429).
2/5//14 Wed. 4:04 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks ended Wednesday's choppy session lower after investors were unable to shrug off worries over the economy. A weaker-than-expected ADP jobs report and the ISM report on the services side of the economy compounded fears that the U.S. recovery is still vulnerable. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.03% , which dropped over 100 points at session lows, closed 5.07 points lower at 15,440.30. The S&P 500 SPX -0.20% closed down 3.56 points, or 0.2% at 1,751.64. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.50% ended the day 19.97 points, or 0.5%, lower at 4,011.55.

2/4//14
Tues. 5:10 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks closed
with modest gains on Tuesday, clawing back a fraction of their worst
losses since June made a day earlier.Investors welcomed a smaller-than-expected drop
in factory orders during December. The stock market had slumped Monday
after disappointing manufacturing data on the heels of an
emerging-markets rout stoked fears over a possible slowdown in the U.S.
economy.The S&P 500
SPX
+0.76%
closed 13.31 points, or 0.8%, higher at 1,755.20, a day after sliding 2.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average

COMP
+0.87%
ended 34.56 points, or 0.9% higher at 4,031.52.“A 3.5% drop in one month is not something to worry about. Since 2009,
we had one monthly loss for every three gains, said Frank Fantozzi,
president and founder of Planned Financial Services.
“We advise our clients to allocate more money to emerging markets, which
look cheap at the moment and to U.S. stocks, as we believe the big
macro picture remains intact,” he added.The economic calendar will get busier, beginning with the ISM services
index and ADP jobs reports on Wednesday and ending with the closely watched nonfarm-payrolls report on Friday.In earnings news, Michael Kors
