Post No. 2,689 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 and a summary of recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 16734.19 down 109.69 or 0.65% from Wednesday's close of 16843.88. Of the Dow components 6 gained and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron up 93 cents o r0.74%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar down $2.04 or 1.88%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.48 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.57 (last year it was 16.38). Thursday's P/E estimate is 15.13 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 15.13 (year ago it was 13.75) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.17 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.15 (last year it was 2.43). The Dow's all-time high was 16,945.92 on June1-10, 2014. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2605.78 down 16.99 from Wednesday's numerator of 2622.77. 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.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.86 down 57 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $87.43. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.60 (UNH/PG) down 59 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $80.19 (HD/PG). The lowest volume was Visa and the highest volume was Intel.
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 lost $1,699 ($262,277- $260,578).
6/12/14 Thursday 4:28 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says the U.S. stock market fell on Thursday, as a spike in oil prices and softer-than-expected economic data dented sentiment on Wall Street.
As unrest in Iraq intensified, concerns over supply sent crude oil prices soaring. While energy companies benefited from higher oil prices, airline companies were hit hard.
Economic data came in below analysts’ forecast, weighing on sentiment. Weekly jobless claims ticked up, rather than the slight drop that was expected. Retail sales in May rose by less than forecast; however, the increase in April was revised sharply upward.
The S&P 500SPX -0.71% fell for the third straight session, closing 13.77 points, or 0.7%, lower at 1,930.12.
The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA -0.65% built on Wednesday’s losses and finished 109.69 points, or 0.7%, lower at 16,734.19. The last time the blue-chip index fell for two consecutive sessions was almost a month ago.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.79% ended the day down 34.30 points, or 0.8% at 4,297.63.
Joe Peta, managing director at Novus, a financial technology company, said that economic data, even when it meets expectations, is not good enough.
“Wall Street’s expectations for growth acceleration in the second half of the year are too optimistic and we are just not seeing that in data so far,” Peta said.
The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits last week increased slightly but remained near a post-recession bottom, indicating little change in a gradually improving U.S. labor market.
Sales at U.S. retailers rose last month on strong demand for cars, trucks and home-improvement products, but spending tapered off at many other retailers after a big bump in demand in April.
In corporate news, shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc. LULU +0.27% slumped 16% after the maker of high-end yoga gear lowered its outlook for the year and reported a drop in profit for the first quarter.
Restoration Hardware Holdings Inc. RH +0.21% surged 13% after the upscale home-furnishing retailer late Wednesday reported it swung to first-quarter profit from a loss a year ago.
Land’s End Inc.LE -0.02% shares rallied 8.2% after the retailer said profit rose nearly 50% in its first quarter as an independent company after being spun off from Sears Holdings Corp. SHLD +0.44%
Shares in airline companies, hit badly on Wednesday following a profit warning from Deutsche Lufthansa AG, tumbled again on Thursday because of higher oil prices. Delta Air Lines, Inc DAL -0.14% dropped 5.4%. Southwest Airlines Co. LUV +0.66% fell 4.5%, American Airlines Group, Inc. AAL -0.92% lost 4.9%.
Energy companies, which also tend to react to price swings in oil, rallied on Thursday. Denbury Resources Inc DNR +1.90% was up 1.9%, Chesapeake Energy Corporation CHK +1.53% rose 1.5%.
In other financial markets, Asian stocks closed mostly lower , while European equities XX:SXXP +0.03% finished little changed. Gold GCQ4 -0.01% rose.
Crude oil futures topped $106 a barrel on Thursday, with the U.S. benchmark marking its highest close in almost nine months as unrest in Iraq intensified, raising concerns about potential disruptions to the nation’s oil supplies.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2622.77 down 15.98 from Tuesday's numerator of 2638.75. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.43 down 53 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $87.96.

6/11/14 Wednesday 4:40 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says The U.S. stock market fell on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average snapping a five-day winning streak and retreating from the record level reached on Tuesday.
The blue-chip index DJIA -0.60% , which was only 54 points from reaching the 17,000 level after Tuesday’s close, was set back after falling 102.04 points, or 0.6% to 16,883.88.

The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP -0.14% ended the day down 6.07 points, or 0.1% at 4,331.93. Weighing on sentiment was a report from the World Bank, which cut a global growth forecast, saying that the harsh winter in the U.S. and a conflict between Russian and Ukraine dragged growth in the U.S. and Europe during the first quarter. Robert Zagunis, managing director and portfolio manager at Jensen Investment Management, said that the current environment of steady growth and low inflation is still favorable to stocks.
“While as a whole, markets have seen incremental changes, individual companies are seeing adjustments. Companies with stronger balance sheets and good earnings will continue to do well,” Zagunis said.
Earnings releases sparked some action in individual stocks.
H&R Block HRB +4.62% shares rallied 4.6% after fiscal fourth-quarter profit and revenue jumped as a late start to the tax reason pulled revenue into the tax-services provider’s latest quarter.

Across other markets, European stocks XX:SXXP -0.56% closed lower. Asian stocks didn’t provide much buying impetus either, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HK:HSI -0.25% falling 0.3% after two straight days of gains.
Oil futures settled with a slight gain on Wednesday as a cut to a global growth forecast offset support from a bigger-than-expected decline in weekly U.S. crude supplies.
Gold futures settled higher for a third session in a row Wednesday, modestly extending a rise above $1,260 an ounce as optimism over global growth prospects took a hit and equities gave back some gains from their record run.
The dollar fell against major rivals Wednesday, pushing below 102 yen.
