Post No. 2,786 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 16662.91 down 50.67 or 0.30% from Thursday's close of 16713.58. For the week the Dow is up108.98 or 0.65% from last Friday's close of 16,553.93. Of the Dow components 7 gained and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Coke up 70 cents or 1.74%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Verizon down $2.33 or 1.10 %.
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 15.81 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.72 (last year it was 16.49). Friday's P/E estimate is 14.51 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 14.51 (year ago it was 13.92) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.36 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.24 (last year it was 2.50). 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 2594.68 down 7.89 from Thursday's numerator of 2602.57. 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 $86.49 down 26 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $86.75. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.74 (PG/HD) down 17 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $82.91 (PG/HD/. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $789 ($260,257 - $259,468).
8/15/14 Fri. 4:08 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says stocks ended mixed Friday, trimming or erasing losses after falling on news of a clash between Ukrainian and Russian military units on Ukraine soil. Major indexes posted weekly gains despite the late flight out of riskier assets into Treasurys.
The S&P 500 SPX -0.01% fell 0.12 point, or less than 0.1%, to end at 1,955.06 after trading as low as 1,941.40, leaving the index with a 1.2% weekly gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.30% trimmed a triple-digit loss to end the day down 50.67 points, or 0.3%, at 16,662.91, making for a weekly rise of 0.7%. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.27% returned to positive territory, rising 11.93 points, or 0.3%, to 4,464.93 and notching a 2.2% weekly advance.
Ukrainian forces destroyed part of a Russian military unit that was on Ukrainian soil, a Ukrainian military spokesperson said Friday, according to news reports. Separately, NATO’s secretary-general said the alliance observed a Russian “incursion” into Ukraine, denied by Russia, on Thursday night, according to the Associated Press.
“Markets are reacting this afternoon to the ongoing developments, but in the fog of war it makes little difference what the specific elements are in each event. Instead, what drives market valuations is the knowledge of applied costs. No matter how Ukraine, Russia, and the separatists sort themselves out, the costs continue to rise,” said David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors, in a note.
The 10-year Treasury note yield 10_YEAR -2.54% fell more than 5 basis points to less than 2.35% as investors sought safety by buying Treasurys. Yields fall as Treasury prices decline.
Haven-related buying only provided a modicum of help for gold, however, which trimmed losses but still settled at its lowest level since Aug. 5. Friday’s losses on the main benchmarks put a cap on weekly gains. Stocks trimmed initial losses ahead of the closing bell.
John De Clue, chief investment officer at the Private Client Reserve of U.S. Bank, said he isn’t surprised that stocks have been so resilient in the face of geopolitical concerns.
“Second-quarter earnings have been better than many of us expected and the economy is growing. The fact that we are not seeing larger pullbacks mean that investors are not alarmed by the impact of geopolitical issues,” he said.
Still, the entanglement overshadowed more signs that the U.S. economy remains healthy and that company profits are increasing. Industrial production rose in July, thanks to a sizable jump in car output, the Federal Reserve said Friday.
Meanwhile, U.S. producer prices inched up in July, a second consecutive month of gains, led by services such as transportation and warehousing, the government reported Friday. That is one of several recent inflation gauges that show price growth isn’t running too hot for the Fed.
Investors shrugged off a preliminary August reading on the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment index that showed it at the lowest level since November.
Emilio Lozoya, CEO of Mexico's state-owned oil company Petróleos
Mexicanos, talks about the Mexican government's plan to open some of the
country's oil fields to private companies.
Monster Beverage MNST +0.01% shares surged to lead the S&P on Coca-Cola’s KO +1.74% move to acquire a 17% ownership stake in the energy drink company, as part of a long-term partnership deal. Coke will make a $2.15 billion cash payment and transfer its global energy drink business to Monster.
Applied Materials Inc. AMAT -0.04% was among the biggest advancers in the S&P, after the chip-making equipment provider’s quarterly sales and earnings report topped Wall Street expectations.
Achillion Pharmaceuticals ACHN +9.60% rallied in heavy volume following positive results from a clinical trial related to sovaprevir, the company’s experimental hepatitis C treatment.
Autodesk Inc. ADSK +0.08% shares led S&P losses after the design-software company late Thursday forecast a tepid outlook. Read more about the day’s notable movers here.
In Asia, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HK:HSI +0.62% finished at its highest level in more than three years. European stocks XX:SXXP -0.40% ended lower after headlines of conflict escalation in Ukraine.

The following are excerpts from Fri. 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 16713.58 up 61.78 or 0.37% from Wednesday's close of 16651.80. For the year the Dow is up 0.83%. Of the Dow components 23 gained, Exxon was unchanged and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $2.13 and percentage-wise was Pfizer up 1.84 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco down 66 cents or $2.62 %.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks drift higher, continuing recovery" by Saumya Vaishampayan says US stocks rose as the market continued to recover from its recent swoon. Walmart cut its full year earnings guidance and reported its 7th decline in a row in quarterly US store traffic.
NYT pB5 "Market inches higher on corporate earnings" & AJC pA9 "U.S. stocks creep higher" by AP say better corp earnings nudged the market up Thurs in a quiet sessions.
IBD pB3 "Stocks notch small gains, keeping the uptrend alive" by Paul Whitfield says Thursday's action was up in lower vol while the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
FT p19 "Wall Street" by Eric Platt says US equity markets rose as new figures showed recent jobless claims hovering near pre-crisis levels.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2602.57 up 9.62 from Wednesday's numerator of 2592.95. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.75 up 32 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $86.43. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.91 (PG/HD) up 59 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $82.32 (UNH/HD/. 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 made $962 ($260,257 - $259,295).
8/14/14 Thurs. 4:06 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks ended Thursday modestly higher, as softer-than-expected economic data reinforced speculation that the Federal Reserve won’t rush to raise interest rates.
Investors shrugged off a larger-than-expected jump in jobless claims and mixed earnings from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Kohl’s Corp.
The S&P 500SPX +0.44% closed up 8.46 points, or 0.4%, at 1,955.18, with health-care stocks leading the gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.37% gained 61.78 points, or 0.4%, to 16,713.58. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP +0.43% rose 18.88 points, or 0.4%, to 4,453.00.
Dow industrials component Wal-Mart /WMT -0.05% lowered its full-year earnings forecast, while second-quarter operating profit met analyst expectations and sales topped those views.
Investors eye Cisco, Kohl's and Noodles & Co. stock Thursday morning.
Department-store operator Kohl’s KSS -0.15% shares rallied after the company posted slightly improved second-quarter earnings from a year ago, despite a decline in sales. Same-stores sales turned positive in July. A report from the Labor Department showed initial jobless claims rose more than expected, but remained close to prerecession levels, boding well for the labor market. Analysts said that like most recent economic data, this report was soft enough for the Fed not to rush with rate hikes, but not too soft to raise worries about the economy.
“Investors gave a jobless claims a pass, as the trend seems to be intact,” said Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors.
Meanwhile, operators of brick-and-mortar stores are slowly adjusting to a shift in consumer behavior, and, “We see a lot of stocks that are now attractive because of that shift,” he said. He said the firm owns shares in American Eagle Outfitters Inc. AEO -1.55%
After Thursday’s closing bell, embattled retailer J.C. Penney JCP +4.62% is projected to report a narrower second-quarter loss of 91 cents a share.
Nordstrom JWN -3.10% also will release results after the close, and analysts expect the upscale department store chain to post earnings of 94 cents for its second quarter.
