Post No. 2,738 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 of 7/3/14 and a summary of recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 7/3/14.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 16943.81 up 28.74 or 0.17% from Thursday's close of 16915.07. Of the Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $1.46 and percentage-wise was Verizon up 1.37%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was 78 or 1.37%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.54 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.61 (last year it was 16.91). Friday's P/E estimate is 15.26 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.26 (year ago it was 13.55) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.17 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.15 (last year it was 2.40). The Dow's all-time high was 17068.26 on July 3, 2014. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2638.42 up 4.47 from Thursday's numerator of 2633.95. 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 $87.95 up 15 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $87.50. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.16 (PG/UNH) up 32 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $81.84 (PG/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 $447 ($263,842 - $263,395).
7/11/14 Friday 4:04 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Carla Mozee says The U.S. stock market closed higher on Friday after the main benchmarks picked up steam in late afternoon, trimming weekly losses.
The S&P 500 SPX +0.15% closed up 2.89 points, or 0.2% at 1,967.57 and finished the week 0.9% lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.17% gained 28.74 points, or 0.2% to 16,943.81, bur recorded a 0.7% weekly loss.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.44% added 19.29 points, or 0.4%, higher at 4,415.49 but was 1.6% lower over the week.
Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital, explained the reason behind shallow pullbacks: “There are lots of investors with cash who missed out on spectacular gains in 2013, so every time they see a dip, they are buying it. I suspect that often it is a retail investor, because institutional investors are more disciplined.”
Banking heavyweight Wells Fargo & Co. WFC -0.62% kicked off the reporting season for the financial sector with headline earnings that were in line with expectations. The stock closed 0.7% lower as analysts delved into the details.
Tobacco giant Reynolds American Inc. RAI -0.82% confirmed it is in talks with Lorillard Inc. LO +4.63% about a possible acquisition. Lorillard shares rose 4.6%.
Mortgage insurers, including Genworth Financial Inc. GNW -2.58% , fell in response to new proposed capital requirements by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Genworth slid 2.6%.
Fastenal Co. FAST -4.16% , which makes fasteners, tools and other industrial and construction supplies, fell 4.2% in the wake of second-quarter earnings.
There were two opposing views from Fed speakers on Friday. Charles Plosser, president of the Philadelphia Fed, said the central bank “should consider hiking rates in response to the improving outlook. We should not be keeping rates at zero until we meet all our objectives.”
In contrast, Dennis Lockhart, the president of the Atlanta Fed, said the central bank should hold short-term interest rates close to zero for another year.
In overseas markets, European stocks bounced back Friday after Thursday’s drop, which came as Portuguese conglomerate Espírito Santo International SA this week missed a payment on some short-term debt. That sent shares of its subsidiaries, Banco Espirito Santo AS and Espirito Santo Financial Group SA, spiraling lower.
Overnight in Asia, Japan’s Nikkei Average JP:NIK -0.34% fell 0.3% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index ended flat.
Among commodities, oil futures CLQ4 -2.24% dropped below $101 a barrel on Friday to mark a fourth weekly loss and their lowest close in two months. Gold futures GCQ4 -0.03% settled lower on Friday, but still scored their sixth straight weekly gain as traders gauged the risks posed by a troubled Portuguese bank.

A read of the print editions of Friday'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 Thursday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

NYT pB1 "Suspension of a Portuguese bank's shares shakes the markets" by Landon Thomas Jr., Peter Eavis says investors received a jolt Thurs. when shares of Portugal's second largest bank, Banco Espirito Santo were suspended from trading.
IBD pB2 "stocks make horrid start, repair most of damage" by Paul Whitfield says stocks recovered from an ugly start Thurs but couldn't erase all of the day's losses as Thursday's action was down in mixed vol & the current outlook is an uptrend under pressure.
FT p23 "Wall street" by Eric Platt says US equity markets shifted lower as a rout hitting Eurozone periphery markets reached across the Atlantic.
AJC pA11 "bank news spooks market" by AP says stocks fell Thurs due to concerns about the soundness of a Portuguese bank.
USAT p2B "6 stocks defend Dow from European woes" by Matt Krantz says six Dow stocks, Verizon, Intel, Coke, AT&T, Merck and Microsoft bucked the market's downward trend Thurs & finished higher.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2633.95 down 10.98 from Wednesday's numerator of 2644.93. 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 $87.80 down 36 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $88.16. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $81.84 (PG/UNH) up 12 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $81.72 (HD/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 $1,098 ($264,493 - $263,395).
7/10/14 Thursday 4:04 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says the U.S. stock market fell, but ended well off the day’s lows, as a decision by one of Portugal’s biggest banks to delay a debt payment reminded investors of the fragility of Europe’s banking system.
Investor worries centered on Espirito Santo Financila Group SA, although those worries seemed to abate over the course of the trading session.
Meanwhile, U.S. economic data continued to show an improving economy. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits in the first week of July fell to a seven-year low.
The S&P 500 SPX -0.41% closed down 8.12 points, or 0.4%, to 1,964.71. The Dow Jones Industrial AverageDJIA -0.42% dropped as much as 180 points at session lows, but ended the day down 70.35 points, or 0.4%, at 16,915.20. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.52% lost 22.83 points, or 0.5%, to 4,396.20.
“The reality is that we had a 6% rally in just six weeks, and markets were looking for an excuse to correct. Nothing has changed fundamentally, neither in the U.S., nor in Europe,” Wieting said. “Rising markets tend to ignore single data points, but in falling markets, fear gets amplified that someone else will sell.”
Still to come is the first major speech from Stanley Fischer as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. The speech, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern in Cambridge, Mass. will focus on financial reform.
On Friday, the earnings season kicks off in earnest as Wells Fargo & Co. WFC -0.73% reports before the opening bell. Read:
In overseas markets, the Stoxx Europe 600 index XX:SXXP -1.06% closed lower for a fifth day, dropping 1.1% as banks tumbled after Espirito Santo Financial Group SA PT:ESF -8.92% , the controlling lender of Banco Espirito Santo SA CA:BES 0.00% , suspended trading its own shares and bonds, citing “ongoing material difficulties.” Also Read: Portuguese government yields soar amid banking turmoil
Unexpected drops in industrial production in May in both Italy and France also weighed on sentiment.
The Nikkei 225 index JP:NIK -0.56% fell 0.6%, but other Asian markets were flat or slightly higher. Chinese exports for June rose 7.2% in June from a year earlier, far below the 10% rise expected from economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.
Gold futuresGCQ4 +0.97% jumped sharply to their highest settlement in nearly four months.

Federal Reserve officials agreed to end the central bank's bond-buying program by October.
Steven Wieting, global chief investment strategist at Citi Private Bank, played down the concerns about Portugal for U.S. stocks. He said investors are just using downbeat economic and banking news from Europe and Asia as an excuse to sell. “The reality is that we had a 6% rally in just six weeks, and markets were looking for an excuse to correct. Nothing has changed fundamentally, neither in the U.S., nor in Europe,” Wieting said. “Rising markets tend to ignore single data points, but in falling markets, fear gets amplified that someone else will sell.”
