Post No. 2,756 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 16982.59 up 22.02 or 0.13% from Friday's close of 16960.57. Of the Dow components 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.38 and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up 1.26%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar down 71 cents and percentage-wise was down 1.19%.
As of the open of 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 16.45 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.53 (last year it was 16.70). Monday's P/E estimate is 15.13 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.08 (year ago it was 13.90) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.15 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.15 (last year it was 2.36). The Dow's all-time high was 17113.54 on July 2, 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 numerator is 2644.46 up3.43 from Friday's numerator of 2641.03. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.15 up 12 cents from Friday's average closing price of $88.03. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.41 (HD/UNH) up 55 cents from Friday's median closing price of $82.86 (HD/UNH). The lowest volume was Nike and the highest volume was GE.
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 $343 ($264,446 - $264,103).
7/28/14 Monday 4:05 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says the U.S. stock market ended Monday’s choppy trading session mostly higher as investors weighed soft housing data against a flurry of deal news, including the takeover of Family Dollar Stores Inc. by Dollar Tree Inc.
Sales of existing homes in June fell, marking the first decline in four months. Later this week, the pace of data speeds up as investors will get second-quarter gross domestic product, a Fed decision and July payrolls among other economic items of importance.

Barron's technology reporter Tiernan Ray ran 9 smartwatches through their paces. He shares his findings and his outlook for the category.
“We are not shocked with the home sales numbers because demographic trends are underpinning those numbers. A much higher proportion of young people is living with their parents, as they are weighed down by student debt and stagnant wages,” said Patty Edwards, managing director and portfolio manager at US Bank Wealth Management. “Still, the economy is slowly improving and we expect companies to continue to grow their earnings. This market is more and more earnings driven and we are watching softer revenue growth, though no alarm bells are going off yet,” she added.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & Constitution and 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2641.03 down 19.19 from Thursday's numerator of 2660.22. 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 $88.03 down 64 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $88.67. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.86 (HD/UNH) down 54 cents from Friday's median closing price of $83.40 (HD/UNH).

7/25/14 Friday pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova says
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 123.23 points, or 0.7%, to 16,960.57, weighed down by losses in Visa Inc. For the week, the blue-chip index fell 0.8%, its biggest weekly loss since June 14.
A big contributor was Visa Inc. , which dropped 3.8% after the credit-card company trimmed its forecast for annual revenue growth. The S&P 500 closed 9.6 points, or 0.5%, lower at 1,978.34 and finished the week roughly where it started it. The Nasdaq Composite shed 22.5 points, or 0.5%, to 4,449.56, but eked out a weekly gain of 0.4%.
“Today’s action is all earnings-related. At this point,” said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones.
“Investors pay attention to guidance from companies, and the lowering of the outlook from Visa signalled that perhaps the second half is not going to be as strong as previously thought,” she added.
Investors also were disappointed with Amazon.com and a wider-than-expected second-quarter loss late Thursday. Shares plunged 10%. Also read: Is Amazon spending like a drunken sailor?
Pandora Media dived 11%, after the Internet-based radio company posted wider losses late Thursday.
Cynk Technology plunged 85%, after trading in the stock resumed following the suspension by the SEC earlier this month.Meanwhile, orders for durable goods such as computers, aircraft and heavy machinery rose a solid 0.7% in June, offering a sign of a general upswing in business spending. But investors showed little reaction. Next week has the potential to be big for economic news, with a Federal Open Market Committee meeting and the monthly jobs report topping a long list of data on the docket. European stocks drifted into the red on Friday, with German stocks under pressure after weaker-than-expected German Ifo business sentiment data. The blue-chip MICEX in Russia fell 1.4%. Russia’s central bank hiked interest rates on Friday, citing geopolitical tensions and the potential impact on the ruble and rising inflation as reasons. The European Commission submitted proposals on new sanctions for Russia linked to the Ukraine crisis on Thursday.In Asia, the Nikkei 225 index rallied more than 1% on Friday to the highest settlement in six months, as the yen weakened and domestic inflation data met market expectations. China’s Shanghai Composite also put on a strong performance, up 1.1%. Crude oil was flat, and gold surged in late trade to settle above 1,300 per troy ounce. The euro fell against the dollar after the weak German Ifo data.
