Post No. 2,637 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 Tuesday at 16252.56 up 89.32 or 0.55% from Monday's close of 16173.24. Of the Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $3.04 and percentage-wise was Coke up 3.74%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down 75 cents and percentage-wise was Verizon down 0.74%.
As of the open the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.94 up from Monday's opening trailing P/E ratio of 15.7 (last year it was 14.90). Tuesday's P/E estimate is 14.53 unchanged from Monday's opening estimate of 14.53 (year ago it was 1315) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.20 down from Monday's opening dividend yield of 2.22 (last year it was 2.44). 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2532.34 up 13.91 from Monday's closing numerator of 2518.43. 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.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.41 up 46 cents from Monday's average closing price of $83.95. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.59 (DIS/UNH) DOWN $1.40 from Monday's median closing price of $80.00 (UNH/PG). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Intel.
If Tuesday 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 $1,391 ($253,234 -$251,843).
4/15/14 Tues. 4:33 pm MarketWatch by Wallace Witkowski & Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks closed higher Tuesday following a choppy session, bouncing back from a sizable drop that came after reports of fighting on the ground in Ukraine.
The main indexes advanced for a second straight day and finished a little under their morning highs, which came as blue chips Coca-Cola Co. and Johnson & Johnson Inc. boosted sentiment with upbeat earnings reports.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.68% rose 12.37, or 0.7%, to end at 1842.98, with energy and utilities faring best among the index’s 10 sectors. The benchmark pared its year-to-date loss to 0.3%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.55% gained 89.32, or 0.6%, to close at 16,262.56. The blue-chip index had been down by as much as 110 points at midday, and it also was up by 99.71 points at its session peak, according to FactSet data.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.29% tacked on 11.47, or 0.3%, to finish at 4,034.16. Earlier, the Nasdaq fell to an intraday low of 3,946.03, about 12 points shy of being down 10% from its recent intraday high on March 6 — in other words, correction territory.Stocks rose early on the earnings reports from Coca-Cola Co. and Johnson & Johnson Inc. Their big tumble came following reports that Russian forces had been spotted in the Ukraine and that Ukrainian forces stormed an airport in Kramatorsk held by pro-Russian militants. Ukrainian forces reportedly secured the airport. The White House said pro-Russian militants are provoking Ukrainian forces into a confrontation.
“In my view, the Russian headlines were the cause for the decline,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG.
Equities started pulling back from earlier session highs after a lower-than-anticipated reading for a gauge of home-builder confidence. Also weighing on sentiment was an unexpected decline in the Empire State manufacturing index.
Tuesday’s big swings are pretty much in line with the volatility stocks have seen over the past few weeks said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management.
The Nasdaq is flirting with falling into correction mode.
“We’ve seen big swings and that’s more a sign of investor indecision about anything and everything,” Nolte said. “We’re still trying to piece together what the investing landscape will be in three months.” 
The market’s choppy action and slight year-to-date loss isn’t surprising after 2013’s big advance, said Jim Kee, president and chief economist at South Texas Money Management. Kee said the firm has been telling clients to expect one or more pullbacks or corrections this year, but ultimately a gain by the end of the year.
“It’s kind of typical following a year like we had last year,” he said of the market’s slumps in 2014. Kee said the U.S. economy is normalizing, and he remains bullish. “We’ve been telling our clients that a pullback or a correction is a good time to put money to work,” he said.
Among chart watchers, some see further pain in at least the near term for the S&P 500.
Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at MKM Partners, wrote in a note Tuesday that he expects the benchmark to slip to its 200-day moving average, which is currently around the 1,763 level. He’s “looking for the SPX to test the 200 DMA in the next week or so,” he wrote.
Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes edged up slightly in April to a reading of 47 from 46 in March, but that missed forecasts for 50.

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Monday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 16173.24 up 146.49 or 0.91% from Friday's close of 16026.75. for the year the Dow is down 2.43%. Of the Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Visa up $4.38 or 2.23%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck down 35 cents or 0.63%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks gain broadly after retail data, Citi earnings" by Dan Strumpf says stocks rebounded, snapping a 2 day losing streak, as investors focused on strong retail sales in Mar. & positive earnings from Citigroup.
NYT pB7 "Rising retail figures revive market" & AJC pA11 "Citigroup, retail sales a spur" by AP says stocks rose as investors drew encouragement from solid earnings from Citigroup & a sharp gain in retail sales last month.
IBD pB2 "Stocks bounce moderately, but volume isn't inspiring" by Vincent Mao says Monday's action saw stocks rebound in lower trade as the current outlook is the market is in correction. Intel was one of the few gainers.
FT p21 "Wall street" by eric Platt says after its worst seek since spring '12 the s&P staunched its losses Mon.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2518.43 up 22.81 from Friday's closing numerator of 2495.62. 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.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.95 up 76 cents from Friday's average closing price of $83.19. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.00 (UNH/PG) up $1.02 from Friday's median closing price of $77.98 (UNH/DIS). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $2,281 ($251,843 - $249, 562).
4/14/14 Mon. 4:26 pm MarketWatch by William L. Watts says U.S. stocks ended with broad gains Monday, reclaiming some of the ground lost in the previous week as investors took their cue from an unexpectedly strong rise in March retail sales and consensus-beating results from Citigroup Inc.
Stocks wobbled in late trade, with the Nasdaq briefly dipping into negative territory before regaining its footing. In the end, the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.57% rose 22.96 points, or 0.6%, to close at 4,022.69.
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA +0.91% ended with triple-digit gains near the highs for the day, rising 146.49 points, or 0.9%, to 16,173.24. The S&P 500 SPX +0.82% rose 14.92 points, or 0.8%, to 1,830.61. Read: MarketWatch’s stock market live blog .
Despite the Monday bounce, stocks may be poised for further losses in the near term, strategists said, particularly as earnings season progresses under a cloud of anxiety over valuation levels.
“There’s no telling how long the current bout of volatility will last, or how deep the pullback will go. But if history is any guide, markets may overshoot on the way down,” said Jerry Webman, chief economist at Oppenheimer Funds, in a note.
With no 2008-style systemic crises or wild, 2000-style valuation concerns and subsequent recessions currently on the horizon, Webman said that a significant selloff is likely to be “relatively contained—and prove to have been a good long-term buying opportunity.”
A positive tone had been set ahead of the opening bell as stock-index futures extended gains after data showed retail sales jumped 1.1% in March, marking the biggest rise since September 2012 and topping forecasts for a gain of 0.9%. February sales were raised to show a 0.7% gain from an initial estimate of 0.3%.
“Significant strength in consumer spending last month provides a strong challenge to the bearish tone of late – not that much of the bout of selling was driven by concern for the health of the economy,” said Andrew Wilkinson, chief market analyst at Interactive Brokers in Greenwich, Conn.
The data cheered investors as it offered some reassurance that soft economic data earlier this year was attributable to extreme winter weather.
“The amelioration of the chilly winter possibly had much to do with the latest reading, but the snapback in dollars spent was tremendous,” Wilkinson said, in a note.
Stocks paid scant attention to data that showed business inventories rose 0.4% in February, just shy of expectations for a 0.5% increase.
Citigroup C +0.02% shares rose 4.4% after the bank’s first-quarter results easily topped Wall Street forecasts. Citigroup reported a 3.5% rise in profit, boosted by lower expenses and provisions for soured loans, even as revenue fell.
U.S. stocks were shellacked last week, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both seeing their biggest weekly losses since mid-2012, while the Dow saw its biggest weekly fall since mid-March.
The relatively upbeat results from Citigroup stood in contrast to disappointing results Friday from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.JPM -0.30% , which contributed to the Friday selloff. Analysts said earnings and, perhaps more important, sales results continue to hold the key to near-term direction, particularly in the tech sector, which has been hardest hit as investors grow worried that valuations have been stretched too far.
“Weak sales growth is nothing new, but now that the market appears to believe that valuations are looking rich, investors are starting to take notice. If companies can’t beat sales expectations in an environment of low interest rates, when can they?” wrote Kathleen Brooks, research director at Forex.com in London.
Pro-Russian activists and militants extended their grip across eastern Ukraine, prompting the government to mobilize the military as it struggled to prevent a replay of Russia's takeover of Crimea.
Elsewhere, shares of Herbalife Ltd.HLF -0.50% rose 4.4%. Shares had tumbled at the end of last week on news reports the company is the subject of a criminal investigation by U.S. authorities. The nutrition-supplement firm said Friday it wasn’t aware of a probe. Shares of Edwards Lifesciences Corp.EW +0.12% rose 11%, making it the top gainer in the S&P 500. The company said late Friday it won a preliminary injunction limiting the sale of Medtronic Inc.’s MDT -0.32% CoreValve system, which had been found by a federal jury to infringe on an Edwards patent. Medtronic shares fell 1.9%.
