Post No. 2,630 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 Monday at 16245.87 down 166.84 or 1.02% from Friday's close of 16412.71. Of the Dow components 6 gained, Walmart was unchanged and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM was $2.75 or 1.43%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $4.68 and percentage-wise was Pfizer down 2.99%.
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 16.15 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.30 (last year it was 15.87). Monday's P/E estimate is 14.74 unchanged from Friday's P/E estimate of 14.74 (year ago it was 13.05) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.18 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.18 (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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2529.74 down 25.98 from Friday's closing numerator of 2555.72. 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 $84.32 down 87 cents from Friday's average closing price of $85.19. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.81 (DIS/PG) down 29 cents from Friday's median closing price of $80.10 (PG/DIS). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 lost $2,598 ($255,572 - $252,974).
4/4/14 Fri. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis and Anora Mahmudova says the U.S. stock market fell sharply on Monday as heavy selling in high-growth stocks, which began on Friday, continued to spill over the broader market.
With Monday’s session light on economic data, investors looked ahead to the start of first-quarter earnings season, and some analysts sounded downbeat about the coming reports.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.16% fell 47.97 points, or 1.2%, to 4,079.75, falling below its 100-day moving average. The tech-heavy index lost 4.6% over the past three sessions, the steepest three-day loss since November 2011.
The S&P 500 SPX -1.08% ended the day 20.05 points, or 1.1%, lower at 1,845.04, falling below a key technical level of 1,850 and erasing year-to-date gains. Financial stocks were among the worst hit.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.02% dropped 166.84 points, or 1.3%, to 16,245.87, with Pfizer Inc. PFE +0.26% and American Express Company AXP -2.88% leading the losses.
Compared with last week, this week is short on top-tier economic data, so investors are likely to focus instead on earnings reports from the first quarter. Alcoa Inc. AA -0.08% , the aluminum producer and former Dow component, unofficially kicks off the earnings season on Tuesday, when it reports results after the closing bell.
“The selloff of high-growth stocks on Friday spilled over to the rest of the market for the first time and it is worrying,” said Channing Smith, managing director at Capital Advisors.
“With the economy still muddling through and earnings projected to rise ever so slightly, there are doubts about current valuations, especially among highflying companies on the Nasdaq,” he added.
“The weakness has carried over from Friday. It is hard to imagine how the S&P 500 went from a new all-time high to down on the year in just two days, but it happened. The momentum names and technology names were the first to crack, now we are seeing signs that weakness is moving to the overall market,” said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer’s Investment.
Other analysts have said they’re a little skeptical of the naysayers, adding that this will be the 16th quarter or so in a row where we are being cautioned about earnings.
Among individual stocks on Monday, Internet names TripAdvisor Inc. TRIP +0.26% and Baidu Inc. BIDU -0.05% fell 2.7% and 3.9%, respectively, adding to their recent losses.
High-growth companies saw their shares continue to slide. Tesla Motors, Inc shares dropped 2.2%. Pandora Media, Inc. P +1.37% dropped 5%. Telsa and Pandora are one of the handful of momentum stocks that got caught up in Friday’s rout.
Shares in Facebook Inc. FB +0.33% dipped in and out of negative territory and closed 0.4% higher. The stock is down more than 18% from its highest closing level, reached on March 10.
Shares in Apple Inc. AAPL +0.02% , which is the heaviest-weighted component in both the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500, also fell 1.6%.
On the plus side, Questcor Pharmaceuticals Inc. QCOR -0.10% surged 19% after news that Mallinckrodt MNK -2.51% will buy the drug maker for about $5.6 billion. Read more in the Movers & Shakers column.
In other markets, Asian and European stock markets lost ground Monday. The dollar DXY -0.25% edged lower, and oil prices fell, with Brent taking the biggest hit on reports that Libya may soon reopen two oil ports. Gold futures dipped and traded below $1,300 an ounce.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investors' 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 16412.71 down 159.84 or 0.96% from Thursday's close of 16572.55. For the week the Dow was up 89.65 or 0.55% from last Friday's Dow close of 16323.06. For the year the Dow is down 0.99%. Of the Dow components 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Travelers up 22 cents and percentage-wise was Coca-Cola up 0.39%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Visa down $7.31 or 3.4%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2555.72 down 24.89 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2580.61. 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.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.19 down 83 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $86.02. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.10 (PG/DIS) up 35 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $79.75 (HD/PG). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $2,489 ($258,061 - $255,572).
4/4/14 Fri. 4:43 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US . stocks fell sharply, after heavy selling in momentum stocks such as biotechs and Internet companies on Friday reversed an early rally, sending the Nasdaq Composite to its worst day in two months.
The markets opened higher following a government report showing a steady pace of jobs growth, lifting both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average to intraday highs.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP -2.60% fell 110.01 points, or 2.6%, to 4,127.73. Friday’s losses resulted in a second weekly loss in a row. Biotechnology and Internet stocks were the worst hit. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETFIBB +0.22% , a benchmark for that sector, fell 4%. Shares in Apple Inc. /AAPL +0.11% , Nasdaq’s heaviest weighted component, were down 1.3%. Facebook Inc. FB +0.14% , considered a momentum play, tumbled 4.6%. The stock is now in bear market , having fallen more than 20% from its all-time closing high set on March 10.
The S&P 500 SPX -1.25% ended the day 23.68 points, or 1.3%, lower at 1,865.09. The benchmark index eked out a 0.4% gain over the week. Technology and consumer discretionary sector stocks led the losses, while investors piled into the defensive utilities sector, the only one closing higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA -0.96% dropped 159.84 points, or 1%, to 16,412.71 but managed to stay 0.5% higher on the week. Microsoft Corp /t MSFT +0.20% and Visa Inc V -3.40% , down 2.8% and 3.4% respectively, were leading the losses among the blue chips.
“We are seeing a key reversal, significant retrenchment in risk in equity markets. For days we saw equities going higher while gold and oil drifted lower and now this trend has reversed,” said Colin Cieszynski, senior market analyst at CMC markets.
“Traders are stepping back from the highflying stocks like Tesla and Facebook, which is a bearish indicator. This is a sign that this rally is tired and is in need of a pullback,” he added.
The U.S. created 192,000 jobs in March as hiring rebounded in the early spring. Hiring in January and February was also stronger than originally reported. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.7% as more people went searching for jobs. Economist polled by MarketWatch expected a gain of 200,000 jobs.
“The report was remarkably consistent with what we have been seeing in the past year or so, in one word good but not great,” said Anthony Valeri, investment strategist at LPL Financial.
“Looking at the fed fund futures, this might mean that the Fed will stay in the game a little longer than anticipated when it comes to raising rates,” he added.
Among individual stocks, shares in so-called momentum high-growth stocks dropped sharply, sending some of them into bear territory. Telsa Motors, Inc TSLA -0.03% fell 5.9%, Pandora Media, Inc P -4.86% fell 4.9%, Amazon.com, Inc AMZN -0.23% fell 3.2%.
One of the bright spots today, GrubHub Inc. GRUB +30.81% shares rose 31% in their market debut.
/AMZN 322.27, -0.73, -0.23% MYL +1.15% shares rose 1.5% after reports that Meda AB rejected its proposal to combine the two businesses. “All continued discussions between Meda and Mylan have been terminated without further actions,” said Meda in a statement.
CarMax IncKMX -4.21% shares fell 4.2% after fourth-quarter results fell short of Wall Street forecasts. Shares of Anadarko Petroleum Corp.APC -0.01% rose 2.1%, adding to a 14.5% gain on Thursday, after the company agreed to a settle all claims against its subsidiary Kerr-McGee for $5.15 billion. The case stems from the bankruptcy of Tronox Inc., which was spun off from Kerr-McGee before it was bought by Anadarko in 2006.
In overseas markets, European stocks rose slightly, their ninth-straight gain. Stocks in Asia closed out mostly higher, though gains were muted ahead of the U.S. data. Gold GCM4 +1.54% moved higher, along with oilCLK4 +0.79% , while the dollar fell against the Japanese yen after the jobs report.
