7/28/14 Mon am American Express, Merck & Pfizer Report Tues

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/
by Dan Kolber

Post No. 2,755 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.

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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average:  The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed  Friday at 16960.57 down 139.61 or 0.82%  from Thursday's close of 17083.80. For the year the Dow is up 2.3%. Of the Dow components 6   gained, Intel was unchanged and   23 declined.   The biggest gainer   dollar-wise was McDonald's up 37 cents and percentage-wise was Cisco up 0.54%. The biggest decliner   dollar-wise  was Chevron down $1.28 and percentage-wise was Visa down 3.58%.

IBD pB6 "Stocks fall in light trade but bullish signs develop" by Paul Whitfield says stocks on Friday were down in slower trade as the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.


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.

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). The lowest volume was  3M   and the highest volume was Intel.

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 lost $1,919 ($266,022 - $264,103).

7/25/14 Friday  pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova  says
 the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped below 17,000 on Friday on disappointing earnings, leaving it with its biggest weekly decline in six weeks. Big declines consumer discretionary stocks, led by Amazon.com, pushed the S&P 500 away from the record close set on Thursday.
But one of the day’s standouts was fast-food chain El Pollo Loco, whose shares surged 60% to $24 on their trading debut, after the initial public offering was priced at $15.
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.
