Post No. 2,667 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 recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 16511.86 up 20.55 or 0.12% from Friday's close of 16491.31. Of the Dow components 18 gained and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $1.24 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan up 0.98%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's down $1.05 and percentage-wise was Home Depot down 1.11 %.
As of the open 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 16.16 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.11 (last year it was 16.75). Monday's P/E estimate is 14.70 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 14.78 (year ago it was 13.72) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.19 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.23 (last year it was 2.33). The Dow's all-time high was 16,583.34 on May 9, 2014. 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 2571.16 up 3.20 from Friday's closing numerator of 2567.96. 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 $85.71 up 11 cents from Friday's average closing price of $85.60. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.57 (PG/WMT) down 27 cents from Friday's median closing price of $78.85 (HD/PG). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was AT&T.
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 $320 ($257,116 - $256,796).
5/19/14 Monday 4:39 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended Monday’s thinly traded session higher with small-cap and tech companies leading the gains. Trading volumes on Wall Street were the third-lowest this year, and analysts noted the absence of ‘bad news’ sent stocks higher.
Gains were muted in light of mixed deal news. AT&T agreed to buy DirecTV, but AstraZeneca rejected Pfizer Inc.’s final bid.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.86% closed 35.23 points, or 0.9%, higher at 4,125.82. The biggest component on the index Apple Inc, gained 1.2% to $604.59. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.38% added 7.22 points, or 0.4%, to 1,885.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.13% rose 20.55 points, or 0.1%, to 16,511.86.
The Russell 2000 /RUT +1.05% index of small stocks added 11.52 points, or 1%, to 1,114.43.
“There is a news vacuum today, so markets are edging higher as there is nothing to hold them back,” says Channing Smith, managing director at Capital Advisors.
“Traders will be watching key technical levels at this point and the 10-year Treasury yields. If the 10-year note yields fall below the 2.46% level, then we might see weakness in equities.” he added.
In the absence of economic news, investors turned their attention to two Fed speakers on Monday.
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President John Williams said it will likely be more than a year before the central bank begins raising interest rates. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher lamented the performance of Congress, which he said was acting like a brake on growth that the Fed cannot overcome with its aggressive stimulus policies.
In corporate news, Urban Outfitters, Inc.URBN -3.51% shares fell 4% in extended-hours trading after the retailer narrowly missed estimates for its first-quarter earnings.
Campbell Soup CPB -2.35% shares stumbled 2.4% as weak soup sales led to the company cutting its full-year forecast. Shares of AT&T /T -0.03% fell 1% after the telecom giant agreed to buy satellite-television provider DirecTV DTV +0.01% in a stock-and-cash deal worth $67.1 billion, including debt. DirecTV shares also fell 1.8%.
Google Inc.’s GOOG +1.58% YouTube unit has reached a deal to buy Twitch, a privately held video-streaming service for gamers, for more than $1 billion, according to a report Sunday in Variety, which cited “sources familiar with the pact.” Shares in Google rose 1.6%.
Apple Inc. AAPL +0.00% shares rose 1.2% to $604.59 as Apple and Google agreed to dismiss all outstanding patent disputes although there is no cross-licensing agreement as part of the deal.

U.S.-listed shares of AstraZeneca AZN +0.37% dropped 12% after the drug maker again rebuffed Pfizer’s “final” offer of £55 a share ($89.96) saying it undervalues the company. The offer values AstraZeneca at about $120 billion, while the previous offer of £50-a-share put the deal at about $106 billion. Pfizer PFE +0.83% shares were up 0.6%. Asian shares fell, with Shanghai stocks hit following a report that China’s property prices are showing further signs of a slowdown amid government curbs. In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 XX:SXXP -0.14% closed lower.
Among commodities, gold futures pared earlier gains GCM4 -0.02% and fell back below the $1,300-an-ounce level. Crude oil futuresCLM4 +0.59% extended their gains from last week. The dollar was stuck in tight ranges against major rivals on Monday as investors struggled to get a better sense of how the Fed views the current pace of economic growth

The following are excerpts from Monday 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 16491.31 up 44.50 or 0.27% from Thursday's close of 16446.81. For the week the Dow was down 92.03 or 0.55%. For the year the Dow is down 0.5%. Of the Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $2.36 and percentage-wise was Home Depot up 1.47 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies down $1.12 or 0.97%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2567.96 up 6.93 from Thursday's closing numerator of 2561.03. 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 $85.60 up 23 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $85.37. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $78.85 (HD/PG). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Cisco.
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 $693 ($256,796 - $26,103).
5/18/14 Friday 5:04 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says The U.S. stock market closed higher Friday after an abrupt late-day reversal. Analysts attributed such a move to ‘buying the dip’ strategy that has been the theme in the past few months.
Stocks traded in negative territory for the most of the session, after mixed economic reports in the morning.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.37% added 7.01 points, or 0.4%, to 1,877.86 and finished the week with a slight loss. It touched record levels during the week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.27% rose 44.50 points, or 0.3%, to 16,491.31, limiting the weekly loss to 0.6%. It also notched a new record during the week.
The Nasdaq Composite’s COMP +0.52% gain on Friday helped the index to register a weekly gain. The index ended the day up 21.30 points, or 0.5%, at 4,090.59 and gained 0.5% over the week.

“It looks like several selloff attempts and shallow retreats brought in buyers in the afternoon,” said Gene Peroni, senior vice president of equity research at Advisors Asset Management.
“Markets firmed as short-sellers went neutral going into the weekend, as there is more fear of being short than being long right now,” he added.
Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones echoes this view.
“This has been a consistent pattern: every time stocks decline, buyers arrived and bought the dip as the long-term outlook remains positive,” Warne said.

Construction on new U.S. homes surged in April to the fastest pace in five months, with the volatile apartment category leading that jump, according to government data released Friday. Results topped economists’ forecasts and signaled that home construction is continuing to rebound from a tough winter.
The preliminary May reading of the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters’s gauge of consumer sentiment fell unexpectedly to 81.8 from 84.1 in April. Economists expected to see a reading of 85.
10-year Treasury notes 10_YEAR -0.59% , which rallied on Thursday amid a flight to safety, fell slightly after the strong housing data, but yields were still at 2.51%.
