Post No. 2,852 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 Monday at 17071.22 down 41.93 or 0.25% from Friday's close of 1711.15. Of the Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's and percentage-wise was Intel up 1.87%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $1.29 and percentage-wise was Exxon down 1.05%.
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 16.03 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.31 (last year it was 15.51). Monday's P/E estimate is 15.06 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.28 (year ago it was 14.39) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.22 up from Friday'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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2658.26 down 6.53 from Friday's numerator of 2664.79. 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 $88.61 down 22 cents from Friday's average closing price of $88.83. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.23 (UNH/AXP) down 11 cents from Friday's median closing price of $87.34 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 lost $653 ($266,479 - $265,826).
9/29/14 Mon. 4:43 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says
U.S. stocks recovered from early morning selling bout, but still finished lower on Monday, as investor confidence was hit by violent unrest in Hong Kong and a brief spike in the dollar.Skittishness receded somewhat after better-than-expected consumer spending data, but investors kept to safe havens such as Treasurys , shunning riskier assets like stocks.The S&P 500 SPX, -0.25% closed down 5 points, or 0.3%, to 1,977.80, with energy and materials leading the losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.25% dropped 41.93 points, or 0.3%, to 17,071.22. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.14% shed 6.34 points, or 0.1%, to 4,505.85.10-year U.S. Treasury note rallied, pushing yields down to 2.49%, while gold added $2 to 1,217.1.At least some of the early unrest in the market stemmed from violent pro-democracy clashes in Hong Kong over the weekend and on Monday, which forced some banks and businesses to close and pushed the Hang Seng Index HSI, -1.90% 1.9% lower. Meanwhile, the dollar eased after hitting its highest level in more than six years against the yen on the perception that the U.S. central bank is looking stronger than its peers around the globe.Jeffrey D. Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James, wrote that the rising dollar, which has been on a bull run for the past 11 weeks, has weighed on the price of commodities and precious metals, while the S&P 500 has been stuck around the 2000 level for three months. “The dollar is currently the most overbought it has been in decades. Watch the Dollar Index, if it makes a trading top and begins a pullback look for a rally in stocks, as well as commodities,” he added. Two big events to watch during the week: “For us, this week is about two things: ECB [European Central Bank] policy and nonfarm payrolls,” said Wouter Sturkenboom, a London-based investment strategist at Russell Investment, referring to Thursday’s ECB meeting and Friday’s payrolls. He said traders are expecting a robust payrolls growth number of around 215,000. “Anything that upsets that expectation will cause volatility, but that volatility could go either way.”
Data: Consumer spending rebounded in August as Americans spent more on heavy-duty items such autos and less on nondurable goods like gasoline, while income increased as well. Separately, a gauge of pending home sales fell 1% in August, pulling back from an 11-month high in July, the National Association of Realtors reported Monday. Stocks to watch: DreamWorks Animation SKG DWA, +26.03% surged 26% after The Hollywood Reporter said Japanese conglomerate SoftBank 9984, -1.18% is looking to acquire the animation studio.Athlon Energy Inc ATHL, +24.80% jumped 25% on news Encana Corp. ECA, +2.18% ECA, +1.99% was planning on buying it for $5.93 billion in cash.Shares of Ambit Biosciences Corp.

AAPL, -0.15% and Fiat SpA F, -1.68% violated EU law, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources. Apple shares fell 0.6%.Late Friday, Yahoo! Inc. YHOO, -0.34% Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer said the company is reviewing a letter from activist investor Starboard Value, urging it to merge with AOL Inc. AOL, -0.34% Shares eased 0.3%..Options contracts on shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. BABA, -1.89% became available on Monday. Shares fell 2% on Monday to $88.75 and are down 5.5% from the closing price on the first trading day.Janus Capital Group Inc. JNS, -7.49% shares fell 7.5%. On Friday, Pimco founder Bill Gross said he would leave Pimco to take a job at Janus.

The following are excerpts from Mon. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's Daily Business, all Street Journal, Financial Times, 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 Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: 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. For the year the Dow is up 3.2%. 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%.
IBD pB8 "Nasdaq, S&P 500 retake 50 day moving averages" by Paul Whitfield says Friday's action was up in lower vol & the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
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 ($266,479 - $264,184 -).
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.
