Post No. 2,698 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 Wednesday at 16906.62 up 98.13 or 0.58% from Tuesday's close of 16808.49. Of the Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $1.64 and percentage-wise was Coca-Cola up 1.56%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Microsoft down 3 cents and percentage-wise was Intel and Microsoft down 0.07%.
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 16.44 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.41 (last year it was 16.74). Wednesday's P/E estimate is 15.00 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.00 (year ago it was 13.62) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.18 unchanged from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.18 (last year it was 2.40). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2632.63 up 16.28 from Monday's numerator of 2617.35. 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 $87.75 up 51 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $87.24. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $80.25 (PG/HD) up 45 cents from Monday's median closing price of $79.80 (PG/HD). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Intel.
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 made $1,628 ($263,263 -$261,735).
6/18/14 Wednesday 4:05 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks rallied Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said it remained confident the economic recovery would strengthen yet inflation would remain contained. The Fed continued the tapering of the bond-buying program by a further $10 billion, reducing monthly purchases to $35 billion. The benchmark S&P 500 reached its 20th closing record of 2014 after four consecutive days of gains, as Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen commented that valuations in equities are not outside historical norms. The S&P 500 SPX +0.77% added 14.99 points, or 0.8%, to 1,956.98, the largest one-day percentage gain in 4 weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.58% gained 98.13 points, or 0.6%, to 16,906.62. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.59% ended the day up 25.60 points, or 0.6% at 4,362.84.

The following are excerpts from Wed morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall Street 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 Tuesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson down 52 cents or 0.51%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks finish slightly higher" by Tomi Kilgore says US stocks rose in light trading with small firm and fin'l stocks leading the broader market higher.
NYT pB6 "A day of modest advances ahead of the Fed meeting" & AJC pA13 "Banks gain on rising rates" by AP says US stocks ended slightly higher as investors bid up banks & other fin'l firms.
FT p21 "Wall street" by Eric Platt, Jennifer Bissell says the cooling in the housing market is evident in the latest figures from the US Commerce dept causing investors to look critically at the house building sector.
IBD pB4 "Stocks stay in rally mode ahead of FOMC decision" by Ken Shreve says the Nasdaq & S&P extended their winning streaks to 3 sessions Tues in action that saw modest gains in higher vol with the current outlook a confirmed uptrend.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2617.35 up 4.27 from Monday's numerator of 2613.07. 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 $87.24 up 14 cents from Monday's average closing price of $87.10. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $79.80 (PG/HD) up 60 cents from Monday's median closing price of $79.30 (HD/PG). The lowest volume was 3M 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 $427 ($261,735 -$261,307).
6/17/14 Tuesday 4:30 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended Tuesday slightly higher, with the main benchmarks gaining for the third consecutive day. However, gains were muted as headlines of violence in Iraq did not abate.
After the initial wobble, investors shrugged off mildly disappointing economic reports on inflation and the housing market.
Consumer prices rose sharply in May, while a number of housing starts declined by more than expected. Meanwhile in Iraq, government forces fought with militant rebels, killing 28 ISIS fighters, according to the Wall Street Journal report.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.22% closed 4.21 points, or 0.2%, higher at 1,941.99. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.16% added 27.48 points, or 0.2%, to 16,808.49.
The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP +0.37% ended the day up 16.13 points, or 0.4% at 4,337.23. The Russell 2000 /quotes/zigman/2759624/realtime RUT +0.84% closed 9.8 points, or 0.8%, higher at 1,176.62, according to preliminary results on FactSet.
Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab said that even with the tick-up in the inflation rate, it remains below the Fed’s target.
“Today’s CPI data was slightly higher than expected and did not come to us as a big surprise, but certainly the uptick sparked fears of a possible risk of inflation,” Sonder said.
“On the housing starts, while the headline number was disappointing, the less noisy year-over-year trend is still improving. There are more housing starts this year then there were last year and that’s a positive,” she added.
In economic news, U.S. consumer prices rose sharply in May for the second straight month, prompting fears that the Federal Reserve may begin tightening the monetary policy sooner than the markets are expecting.
Construction on new U.S. homes fell by 6.5% in May and builders trimmed plans for future projects in another sign that a hoped-for spring revival in the housing market remains elusive.
Officials at the Federal Open Markets Committee began their two-day policy-setting meeting.
