Post No. 2,848 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  Friday at 1711.15 up 167.35 or 0.99%  from Thursday's close of 16965.80. For the week the Dow is down 166.59 or 0.96% from last Friday's close of 17,279.74. Of the Dow components  26 gained, Johnson & Johnson was unchanged, and 3  declined.  The biggest gainer   dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Nike up $9.75 or 12.23%. The biggest decliner   dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Pfizer down 26 cents or 0.87%.

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 16.31 down  from Thursday's   trailing P/E ratio of 16.16  (last year it was 15.59).  Friday's P/E estimate is 15.28 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.28 (year ago it was 14.25) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.19 down from  Thursday's dividend yield of 2.21  (last year it was 2.13). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2664.79 up 22.95 from  Thursday's   numerator of 2641.84.  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 $88.83 up 77 cents from Thursday's  average closing price of $88.06.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.34  (UNH/AXP) up 87  cents from Thursday's median closing price of $86.47 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was  Visa and the highest volume was Cisco.

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 made  $2,295  ($264,184 - $266,479).

9/26/14 Fri. 4:43 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says
U.S. stocks rebounded on Friday, recovering most of the previous session’s steep losses as Thursday’s rout inspired bargain hunters, with most of Friday’s broad-based gains led by energy and technology names. But notwithstanding Friday’s solid gains, major indexes weren’t able to erase what has otherwise been a tough week for stocks. Most benchmarks finished the week with losses.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.86%  closed 16.86 points, or 0.9%, higher at 1,982.854, ending the week 1.4% lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.99%  jumped 167.35 points, or 1%, to 17,113.19, but rang up a weekly loss of 1%. The blue-chip index moved more than 100 points in each of the five sessions this week. Nike’s 12% jump on better-than-expected results added 61 points to the Dow industrials.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.02%  gained 45.45 points, or 1%, to 4,512.19 but was 1.5% lower over the week.“September is a difficult month and short-term volatility is normal,” said Kenny Polcari, director of NYSE Floor Operations on behalf of O’Neil Securities, Inc. “We’ve had lots of reason to be nervous this week and as soon as some of the technical support levels were hit we saw [automated algorithms] kick in. Market will now test those resistant levels,” Polcari added.
Markets also weighed stunning news that Bill Gross, founder is leaving the firm he founded, to join Janus Capital. The news sent 10-Year Treasury yields higher. Data: Helping to hearten markets was news that the U.S. economy in the second quarter matched its best performance since the recession. But whether an accelerated pace of growth in the year ahead can be sustained is still unclear.
The U.S. economy grew at a 4.6% annual pace in the second quarter. The increase in real gross domestic product was revised up from 4.2%, mainly because of higher exports and business investment, the Commerce Department said Friday. The biggest gains came in business investment, a good sign for the economy in the months ahead. Separately, the final September reading on the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer sentiment index remained steady at the highest level since July 2013 and well above a final August level of 82.5.Stocks to watch: Apple Inc. shares AAPL, +2.94%  rallied 2.9% on Thursday after a nearly 4% drop during the previous session, as the company tried to calm concerns about its new iPhone 6 Plus bending claims. One analysts reiterated his ‘buy’ rating and in a note to clients told investors to ignore the ‘media blitz’. Another tech name, chip maker Micron MU, +6.72%  gained 6.7% after fourth-quarter results topped Wall Street’s estimates late Thursday. Meanwhile, Nike NKE, -0.56% shares jumped 12% after the athletic apparel and gear maker late Thursday posted better-than-expected earnings. Other markets: Overnight, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 XJO, -1.28%  erased its gains for the year, taking cues from Wall Street’s selloff and a slump in iron-ore prices. European stocks SXXP, +0.25% were higher, but major benchmarks recorded weekly losses. Gold futures GCZ4, -0.20% turned down nearly $3 an ounce while oil futures CLX4, +0.90%  headed slightly higher.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:

A  read of the print editions of  Friday'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 Thursday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average:  The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed  Thursday at 16965.80 down 264.26 or 1.54%  from Wednesday's close of 17210.06. For the year the Dow is up 2.23%. 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%.

WSJ pA1 "Global anxiety roils markets" by E.S. browning says the Dow had its largest one day point & percentage decline since 7/31 and was the third day of declines.  High stock prices, the uncertain global economy & int'l conflicts caused the decline.

IBD pB3 "Stocks plunge as Nasdaq, S&P lose 50 day line" by Paul Whitfield says Thursday's action was down in mixed vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.

FT p23 "Wall Street" by Eric Platt says the tech sector led the broader US equity market lower as investors shifted out of riskier investments ahead of the 3rd qtr.'s end next week.

NYT pB4 "Indexes suffer worst day since July" by AP says a stumble by Apple helped set off a rout in the market Thurs.

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.
