Post No. 2,743 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 Friday at 17100.18 UP 123.77 OR 0.73% from Thursday's close of 16976.81. For the week the Dow is up 156.37 or 0.92% from last Friday's close of 16943.81. Of the Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $2.32 and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson up 1.42%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down 24 cents and percentage-wise down GE down 0.56%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday'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 16.70 (last year it was 16.85). Friday's P/E estimate is 15.12 down from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.13 (year ago it was 13.55) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.18 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.14 (last year it was 2.39). The Dow's all-time high was 17100.18 on July 18, 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 2662.77 up 19.21 from Thursday's numerator of 2643.56. 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 $88.76 up 64 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $88.12. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.04 (PG/UNH) up 33 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $82.71 (PG/DIS). 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 $1,921 ($266,277 - $264,356).
7/18/14 Friday 4:06 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Carla Mozee says The U.S. stock market finished the volatile week with modest gains, helped by a bounce on the main benchmarks Friday.
Friday's Closing Dow Numbers:
*****************
The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:
Broad-based gains on the S&P 500 were led by technology and healthcare sector stocks, particularly biotechnology companies.
Investors focused on earnings reports from companies such as Google, Inc
and Huntington Bancshares and brushed aside implications of a Malaysia Airlines jet crash in Ukraine and Israel’s invasion of Gaza, which triggered a selloff on Thursday.
The S&P 500
SPX
+1.03%
rose 20.1 points, or 1%, to 1,978.22. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA
+0.73%
added 123.37 points, or 0.7%, to 17,100.18.
The Nasdaq Composite
COMP
+1.57%
jumped 68.70 points, or 1.6%, to 4,432.15, as biotech and Internet
stocks rallied sharply, after steep drops the day before. The iShares
Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF rose 3%, while the Global X Social Media Index
ETF rose 1.8%.
Equities on Thursday
were rattled by news that 298 passengers were killed in a Malaysia Airlines
MY:MAS
-11.11%
crash in eastern Ukraine, where fighting between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian troops has been going on for months.
U.S. intelligence officials said the jet was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. Follow developments on Flight MH17 here.
With the downing of MH17, Malaysia Airlines has lost two planes in
five months. The WSJ’s Ramy Inocencio asks Vivian Lines, global vice
chairman at Hill+Knowlton Strategies, if Malaysia Airlines can survive.
Meanwhile, Israel launched an open-ended ground invasion of Gaza aimed at crushing Hamas militants after 10 days of aerial bombardment.
“Geo-political headlines dampen consumer sentiment, but this market has
been remarkably resilient,” said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist
at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “Ultimately, this is an earnings-driven
market and earnings so far have been encouraging, especially among large
banks.”
Investors had a muted reaction to a weaker-than-expected consumer sentiment report. Separately, the Conference Board’s June leading-economic index rose in June, a sign that the economy could strengthen in the second half of the year.
Shares of General Electric
GE
-0.37%
closed 0.6% lower after the industrial conglomerate’s second-quarter
earnings met Wall Street’s projection. GE also said it’s targeting the IPO of its Synchrony Financial business for the end of July.
Huntington Bancshares Inc.
HBAN
-1.20%
climbed 4.8% after the regional bank’s second-quarter profit rose 9%.
Google
GOOG
-1.32%
shares rallied 3.7%, after the Internet company late Thursday posted second-quarter revenue that beat Wall Street’s expectation.
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
AMD
-16.19%
tumbled 16% after the chip maker’s second-quarter adjusted earnings
missed analysts’ projections.
In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei Average
JP:NIK
-1.01%
fell 1% as investors sought the perceived safety of the Japanese yen. But the U.S. dollar
USDJPY
+0.20%
eventually pared its losses against the yen. European stocks
XX:SXXP
-0.02%
slid on the geopolitical tensions, and Russia’s MICEX dropped 1.3%.
In the commodities market, the safe-haven benefits for gold
GCQ4
-0.43%
faded on Friday, with the precious metal dropping in electronic
trading, as a lack of physical follow-through made that upward move
unsustainable, according to analysts.
Crude-oil futures
CLQ4
-0.16%
settled marginally lower Friday.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:
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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 16976.81 down 161.39 or 0.94% from Wednesday's close of 17138.20. For the year the Dow is up 2.41%. Of the Dow components 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up $1.36 or 1.62%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Verizon down $4.77 and percentage-wise was Intel down 2.74%.
WSJ pC1 "Investors search for safety" by Chris Dieterich says markets were rattled by a paid of geopolitical flareups Thurs with stocks posting their worst losses in months and investors fleeing to gold and gov bonds. The plane crash & Israel's' invasion of Gaza spooked markets.
NYT pB9 "Shot down plane over Ukraine unsettles indexes" |& AJC pA10 "Airline crash rattles investors" by AP says the downing of a jet rattled the markets sending the 3 major indexes sharply lower.
IBD pB2 "Stocks indexes fall hard; Nasdaq vol increases" by Paul Whitfield says stocks spend most of the session in the red Thurs as the action was down in mixed vol & the current outlook is uptrend under pressure. IBM beat on the top & bottom lines but fell 1%.
FT p19 "UnitedHealth his record high on healthcare reform effect" by Eric Platt says US equity markets declined after the Malaysian plane was shot down. UnitedHealth is charted as it was lifted by a surge in Medicaid enrollment.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2643.56 down 25.13 from Wednesday's numerator of 2668.69. 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 $88.12 down 84 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $88.96. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.71 (PG/DIS) up 36 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $82.35 (PG/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 $2,513 ($266,869 - $264,356).
7/17/14 Thursday 4:04 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks ended sharply lower Thursday as selling took hold after a Malaysia Airlines jet crashed near the Ukraine-Russia border.
Investors turned to assets perceived as havens, such as U.S. Treasurys and gold, pushing their prices sharply higher.
SPX 1,958.12, -23.45, -1.18%
The S&P 500 SPX -1.18% closed down 23.45 points, or 1.2%, to 1,958.12, its biggest one-day drop since April 10. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.94% dropped 161.39 points, or 0.9%, to 16,976.81, its biggest one-day point decline since May 15.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.41% ended the day down 62.52 points, or 1.4%, at 4,363.45.
Geopolitical risks intensified after news that a Ukrainian fighter jet was shot down by missiles from a Russian plane. Then came reports that a Malaysia Airlines plane had crashed in Ukraine.
Those developments came after the U.S. unveiled a new round of sanctions against Russia, and the European Union said it would detail new sanctions against Russia by the end of this month. European stocks XX:SXXP -0.94% fell sharply on Thursday.
“Today’s selloff makes sense given that there’s been a concern among investors in the last few months that the U.S. could become more closely intertwined in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia,” said Kristina Hooper, U.S. investment strategist at Allianz Global Investors. She said there are “so many question marks right now” about the news from Ukraine, and it likely will take a few days for investors to process the implications.
“Those investors who have a longer-term time horizon shouldn’t be selling,” Hooper added.
Earlier, the market digested a mixed bag of earnings reports and economic data. Reports on weekly jobless claims and manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia area came in better than expected. But construction on new U.S. homes was far weaker than expected, tumbling to the slowest pace in nine months.
In corporate news, Microsoft Corp. MSFT +0.14% shares rallied 1% after the tech company said it would cut 18,000 jobs over the next year in a bid to simplify operations and integrate its Nokia Devices and Services business. It also said it would take a restructuring charge between $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion over the next year.
SanDisk SNDK +0.13% shares sank 14% after the flash-memory maker’s third-quarter revenue forecast was lighter than anticipated. Read more about the day’s notable movers here.
After trading closes Thursday, GoogleGOOG +2.40% is expected to post earnings of $6.25 a share on revenue of $12.3 billion. Shares were down 1.7%.
