Post No. 2,758 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 Tuesday at 16912.11 down 70.48 or 0.42% from Monday's close of 16982.59. Of the Dow components 6 gained and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was AT&T up 94 cents or 2.64%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was United Technologies down $1.61 and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth down 1.73%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.33 down from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.45 (last year it was 16.66). Tuesday's P/E estimate is 15.13 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 15.13 (year ago it was 13.90) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.17 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.15 (last year it was 2.37). 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2633.48 down 10.98 from Monday's numerator of 2644.46. 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 $87.78 down 37 cents from Friday's average closing price of $88.15. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.13 (HD/UNH) down $1.28 from Monday's median closing price of $83.41 (HD/UNH). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Verizon.
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 lost $1,098 ($264,446 - $263,348).
7/29/14 Tuesday 4:17 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahumudova & Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks ended Tuesday’s choppy trading session lower, as investors turned cautious after the European Union and the President Barack Obama announced a new round of sanctions against Russia for its role in Ukraine’s deadly civil war.
The European Union on Tuesday also extended sanction on Russia over Eastern Ukraine violence. The expanded sanctions will target the Russian energy, defense, and finance sectors.
Better-than-expected earnings and upbeat consumer confidence data sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 17,000 and the S&P 500 near its record closing level, but gains soon petered out.
The S&P 500 /SPX -0.45% closed 9 points, or 0.5%, lower at 1,969.95. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.42% ended 70.48 points, or 0.4%, lower at 16,912. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.05% finished 2.2 points lower at 4,442.70.
“The FOMC statement is unlikely to change from the previous one and there will be no press conference. If the economy continues to improve, we expect companies to grow their revenues and earnings. We also expect the market to continue a slow grind higher by the year-end,” Valeri said.
Tuesday’s economic news had little impact on markets. Consumer confidence index jumped unexpectedly to 90.9 in July, the highest since October 2007.
Separately, a report from the Case-Shiller 20-city composite index showed U.S. house prices rose in May, with every city showing gains. Prices fell on a seasonally adjusted basis, however. Year-over-year growth also slowed down.
Data released Monday showed pending U.S. homes sales fell 1.1% in June, the first decline in four months. That report “confirmed Fed Chair Yellen’s remarks before the Senate Banking committee earlier this month about the overall slowdown in the housing sector,” wrote Marshall Gittler, head of global FX strategy at IronFX, on Tuesday.
Yellen will lead monetary policy makers in their two-day meeting that started Tuesday morning.
In earnings news, Corning Inc.GLW +0.20% shares tanked 9.3% after the maker of TV-screen glass reported a sharp drop in second-quarter earnings due to acquisition-related costs.
Shares in Herbalife Ltd. HLF -0.41% fell 14%, extending losses from late Monday when the nutritional supplements marketer posted quarterly results that missed Wall Street’s targets.
Shares of Merck & Co. MRK +1.05% — a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.42% — rose 1% after the drug maker’s adjusted earnings and sales surpassed expectations.
The European Union on Tuesday also extended sanction on Russia over Eastern Ukraine violence. The expanded sanctions will target the Russian energy, defense, and finance sectors.

Paul Vigna and Mark Cook discuss the possibility of a 20% pullback in markets.
Anthony Valeri, investment strategist at LPL Financial said investors are focused on GDP, ISM and the jobs data to be released in the coming days. “The FOMC statement is unlikely to change from the previous one and there will be no press conference. If the economy continues to improve, we expect companies to grow their revenues and earnings. We also expect the market to continue a slow grind higher by the year-end,” Valeri said.

The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 Tuesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 16982.59 up 22.02 or 0.13% from Friday's close of 16960.57. For the year the Dow is up %. 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%.
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.
The S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.03% ended the day less than a point higher at 1,978.91. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.13% added 22 points, or 0.1%, to 16,982.59. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.11% closed 4.65 points, or 0.1%, lower at 4,444.91.

“Merger Monday” began with a deal in the retail industry, though excitement about M&A activity failed to lift the markets.
Family Dollar Stores FDO +24.86% , soared 25% after Dollar Tree DLTR +1.20% said it would buy the rival discount retailer for $74.50 a share, a roughly 23% premium over Family Dollar’s closing price on Friday. Dollar Tree shares were up 1.2%.

Herbalife Ltd. /HLF +1.36% will report after the close on Monday.

Oil prices CLU4 -0.49% pushed lower, while gold GCU4 +0.15% was a touch higher, and the U.S. dollar index DXY -0.01% , which measures the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, was largely steady.

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.
