Post No. 2,854 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 Tuesday at 17042.90 down 28.32 or 0.17% from Monday's close of 17071.22. Of the Dow components 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Visa up $2.44 or 1.16%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's down $1.41 or 1.47%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.1 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.03 (last year it was 15.58). Today's P/E estimate is 15.06 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 15.06 (year ago it was 14.39) and today's dividend yield is 2.20 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.22 (last year it was 2.16). 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.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2653.85 down 4.41 from Monday's numerator of 2658.26. 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 $88.46 down 15 cents from Monday's average closing price of $88.61. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.90 (UNH/AXP) down 33 cents from Monday's median closing price of $87.23 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 $441 ($265,826 - $265,385).
9/30/14 Tues. 4:25 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks finished Tuesday’s choppy trading session lower as investors found little solace in mixed bag of economic reports on housing, manufacturing and consumer confidence. Tuesday marked the end of the month and the third quarter, and investors struggled to find their footing as a mix of economic data during the trading day appeared to offer no clear direction for stocks. The S&P 500 dropped of 1.6% in September, while eking out a gain of 0.6% for the quarter, the seventh consecutive quarterly gain. In Tuesday action, the S&P 500 SPX, -0.28% closed down 5.5 points, or 0.3%, at 1,972.29. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.17% dropped 28.23 points, or 0.2%, to 17,042.90. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.28% lost 12.46 points, or 0.3%, to 4,493.39.Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist at Voya Investment Management, pointed out that while headline numbers on Tuesday’s economic reports were weaker than expected, the data still revealed a healthy economy.
Economic data: Annual home price growth slowed in July to the slowest pace since late 2012, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index. The Chicago PMI slowed to a still-strong reading in September, with inventories rising at the highest pace in 41 years. The consumer confidence index, meanwhile, fell sharply in September for its first decline in five months.
Investors also are looking across the Atlantic, where eurozone inflation hit a five-year low in September, and German jobless data disappointed, both which arguably could add pressure to the European Central Bank to launch full-scale quantitative easing soon. The ECB meets on Thursday, but economists widely expect the bank to hold back on more aggressive policy measures for now and instead provide details on its program for purchasing asset-backed securities, which was announced at the September meeting. The Thursday ECB meeting will be one of the week’s more closely watched events. The other is Friday’s monthly jobs report, where economists want to see strong, but not overly strong, jobs growth.Stocks to watch: Move MOVE, +37.08% leapt 37% after News Corp. NWSA, -2.68% NWS, -2.24% said it would buy the online real-estate business in an all-cash deal for $21 a share. News Corp. owns MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.EBay EBAY, +7.54% shares jumped 7.5% after the firm announced plans to spin off its payments arm PayPal in a transaction expected to be completed in the second half of 2015.Ford F, -2.12% shares were under pressure, falling 2.1% after cutting its full-year earnings outlook on expectations it will lose $1.2 billion in Europe this year. Supervalu SVU, -2.08% shares fell 2.1% after it found more data-capturing malware at stores on Monday.Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners CPRX, +11.04% rose 11% after the biotech said late Monday a late-stage study showed its Firdapse treatment benefited sufferers of an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness. Read more about the day’s notable stocks in Movers & Shakers.Other markets: Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index HSI, -1.28% fell 1.3% as pro-democracy protests continued, though many worried about a possible crackdown. Europe stocks SXXP, +0.61% finished higher on the heels of downbeat data. The euro EURUSD, -0.45% pushed lower against the dollar after eurozone inflation data.

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.

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.

ECA, +2.18% ECA, +1.99% was planning on buying it for $5.93 billion in cash.Shares of Ambit Biosciences Corp.
