Post No. 2,846 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 as of Sept. 24, 2014.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 16965.80 down 264.26 or 1.54% from Wednesday's close of 17210.06. Of the Dow components all 30 declined. he biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $3.72 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan 2.4%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.16 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.27 (last year it was 15.53). Thursday's P/E estimate is 15.28 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 15.28 (year ago it was 14.25) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.21 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.19 (last year it was 2.14). The Dow's all-time high was 17279.74 on September 19, 2014. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2641.84 down 37.96 from Wednesday's numerator of 2679.88. 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 $88.06 down $1.27 from Wednesday's average closing price of $89.33. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.47 (UNH/AXP) down $1.90 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $88.37 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume wasIntel.
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 $3,796 ($267,988 - $264,184).
9/25/14 Thurs. 4:15 MarketWatch by Carla Mozee & Victor Reklaitis says
U.S. stocks slumped Thursday, led by the tech sector, slapping the major benchmarks with their biggest one-day loss in almost two months.Why the drop? Strategists said there wasn’t one single explanation. Market observers, however, pointed to some possible drivers including Apple AAPL, +0.13% whose own shares were down more than 3%. Other worries centered on the Russia-Ukraine and Mideast conflicts as well as a weak U.S. durable-goods report. Strategists also cited divergences between suffering small-cap stocks and the broader market and technical factors, including the S&P 500’s slicing through its 50-day moving average.The S&P SPX, -1.62% slid 32.31 points, or 1.6%, to finish at 1,965.99. All S&P sectors endured losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.54% also took a hit, falling 264.26 points, or 1.5%, to close at 16,945.80.Both the S&P 500 and Dow suffered their biggest drops since July 31, when they fell 2% and 317 points, respectively. That’s after both achieved record closes last week.The technology sector was a particularly hard-hit area, faring worst among S&P sectors, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.94% declining by 88.47 points, or 1.9%, to end 4,466.75. The Nasdaq’s loss also was its largest since July
Worries about durables, geopolitics: Orders for durable U.S. goods plunged a record 18.2% in August after a record 22.5% gain in July, mainly because of volatile demand for airplanes. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected orders to fall 17.3%.The headline number for durable goods may have spooked some investors, according to Doug Coté, chief market strategist at Voya Investment Management. In addition, the report’s encouraging details, such as what it said about underlying business investment, could put more pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, he argued. Then there’s the matter of international conflict. “Geopolitical risks have been overlooked, but the longer they go on without resolution, the more concerning it gets,” Cote noted. Iraq’s prime minister warned about plots by the Islamic State to launch attacks on subway systems in New York City and Paris on Thursday – highlighting rising concerns about terrorist organizations’ growing global threat.Meanwhile in Russia, courts there received the OK to seize foreign assets under a draft law intended as a response to Western sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, a Reuters report said Thursday. In other economic news, weekly jobless claims rose to 293,000, while economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected claims to rise to 300,000.Movers and shakers: Apple dropped Thursday after pulling an update to iOS 8 on Wednesday. Users had reported major problems with the operating-system update. Other markets: Japan’s Nikkei Average NIK, +1.28% surged 1.3% as the yen weakened. Meanwhile, the euro EURUSD, -0.25% hit its lowest level against the dollar since 2012 after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said the bank stands ready to launch more stimulus measures to boost growth. European stocks SXXP, -0.85% were dragged down by U.S. losses after initially gaining following Draghi’s comments. Gold futures GCZ4, +0.16% rose.

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Daily Business, 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 Wednesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 17210.06 up 154.19 or 0.90% from Tuesday's close of 17055.87. For the year the Dow is up 3.82%. Of the Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.72 and percentage-wise was DuPont up 2.52%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron down 66 cents or 0.54%.
WSJ pC2 "Dow Index makes it official: US firms only" by Telis Demos David Carlson, director of US and Canadian equity indexes at s&P Dow Jones Indices which oversees the Dow index said their methodology language was formally revised to require member firms to be incorporated and headquartered in the US and the US must be a company's biggest revenue generating country. For example, Pfizer has recently considered an inversion when it tried to buy UK based AstraZeneca.
WSJ pC4 "Housing helps US stocks stop skid" by Saumya Vaishampayan says US stocks rallied & the S&P and Nasdaq snapped 3 session losing streaks. Better than expected housing data lent a positive tone but there wasn't any particular news behind the market's broader gains.
IBD pB3 "Bullishness keeps falling as Nasdaq leads rebound" by David Saito-Chung says Wednesday's action saw sharp rebound in mixed vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
NYT pB6 "Market reverses course in its best day since August" & AJC pA15 "Buyers step in after losses" by AP says US stocks rebounded wed & had their best performance in more than a month due to gains in health care & consumer staples firms.
FT p25 "Wall Street" by Eric Plattt says US equity markets climbed following better than expected new home sales data.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2679.88 up 14.01 from Tuesday's numerator of 2655.87. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.33 up 80 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $88.53. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.37 (UNH/AXP) up 92 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $87.45 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
If Wednesday 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 $1,401 ($267,988 - $265,587).
9/24/14 Wed. 4:15 MarketWatch by Carla Mozee & Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks rallied on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average recording their best one-day percentage gain in more than 5 weeks. The rebound snapped a 3-day losing streak that has been blamed in part on worries about global growth and fighting in Iraq and Syria.A stronger-than-expected report on new-home sales and dovish comments from two Federal Reserve officials, may have contributed to gains. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.78% gained 15.63 points, or 0.9%, to 1,998.38. Broad-based gains were led by health care and consumer staples sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.90% gained 155.02 points, or 0.9%, to 17,210.89, recovering some of the steep losses from the previous two sessions. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.03% added 46.53 points, or 1.03%, to 4,555.22, while the small-cap Russell 2000 RUT, +0.86% — which has lagged behind the other indexes this month and this year — gained 8.9 points, or 0.8%, to 1,127.60.Trading rebound: Wednesday’s early advance may have been more of a trading rebound than anything else, said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
“Economic news flow has been light,” he said in a note, adding that “monetary policy direction (more dovish in Europe, more hawkish in the US) hasn’t really changed.”Today’s key economic news: The Commerce Department said sales of new single-family homes surged 18% in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 504,000, the fastest pace in more than six years. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a sales rate of 426,000.Investors welcomed dovish remarks from two Fed officials. The Federal Reserve should be “exceptionally patient” before hiking short-term interest rates - even to the point of allowing a modest overshoot of its inflation target, said Charles Evans, the president of the Chicago Fed. The economy is returning to more normal territory and the Fed is prudently planning for the exit from its zero-rate policy stance, said Loretta Mester, the president of the Cleveland Fed. Movers and shakers: Bed Bath & Beyond BBBY, +7.40% shares climbed more than 7.4% to lead the S&P 500 after the home-furnishings retailer late Tuesday posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings.KB Home KBH, -5.30% fell 5.30%, after the home builder reported fiscal third-quarter profit and sales that fell well short of expectations.Other markets: Japan’s Nikkei Average NIK, -0.24% shed 0.2%. Meanwhile, the dollar fell against the yen USDJPY, -0.01% after Japan’s prime minister said he’s cautious about the yen’s recent weakness. European stocks SXXP, +0.72% mostly gained after initially wavering following a sluggish reading on German business confidence. Gold futures GCZ4, -0.39% dipped, and oil futures CLX4, +1.45% were slightly higher.
