Post No. 2,814 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 Wednesday at 17078.28 up 10.72 or 0.06% from Tuesday's close of 17067.56. Of the Dow components 20 gained, and Intel was unchanged and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck up 69 cents or 1.15%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot down $2.15 or 2.36%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.20 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.19 (last year it was 15.47). Wednesday's P/E estimate is 15.10 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.10 (year ago it was 13.47) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.19 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.23 (last year it was 2.49). The Dow's all-time high was 17138.20 on July 16, 2014. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2659.36 up 1.67 from Tuesday's numerator of 2657.69. 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 $88.65 up 6 cents from Tuesday's average closing price of $88.59. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.47 (UNH/AXP) up 41 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $88.06 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $167 ($265,936 - $265,769).
9/3/14 Wed. 4:16 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says
falling Apple Inc. shares dragged the S&P 500 lower in Wednesday trading. Apple represents the most heavily-weighted component of the main benchmark as well as Nasdaq Composite. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.08% closed 1.6 points, or 0.1% lower at 2,000.72. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.06% clung to a modest gain and finished the day 10.72 points, or 0.1%, higher at 17,078.28. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.56% fell 25.62 points, or 0.6%, to 4,572.57. Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital, stressed that September tends to be a turbulent month for stocks. Early optimism in light of a cease-fire agreement between Kiev and pro-Russian forces fizzled out by afternoon. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he and his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko had agreed Wednesday to the outlines of a cease-fire for eastern Ukraine, calling for the separatists there to end their offensive and Kiev to pull its forces back.
Movers and shakers: Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.16% shares sold off, falling 4.2% after Apple’s main rival Samsung unveiled Gear, a device which serves as an adapter, turning phablets into virtual reality 3-D screens. The drop in Apple shaved off nearly 3 points off the S&P 500.Infinity Pharmaceuticals Inc. INFI, +44.05% soared 44% after the biotech company announced a new collaboration with AbbVie Inc. ABBV, +0.80% to develop and commercialize Infinity’s duvelisib, a treatment for blood cancers. Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL, -5.16% was the worst performer on the S&P 500, falling 5.2% after the company lowered its operating margin view for the third quarter and raised its fuel price outlook. Even as the airline company’s revenue per average seat mile increased 2% in August, the growth was at the lower end of the company’s expectations. Shares in General Motors GM, -0.95% and Ford Motors F, -0.74% fell after both companies reported monthly sales numbers. Despite a spate of recalls, sales have continued to march upward, but lackluster numbers in August indicate a slowdown. On the economic front, orders for goods produced in U.S. factories jumped in July, as expected, due to a surge in contracts for commercial aircraft, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.Separately, the economy continued on a moderate or modest growth path through late August, with only the housing sector lagging behind, according to the Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book report on current economic conditions.Other markets: European stock markets SXXP, +0.65% rallied on the Ukraine-Russia cease-fire news. The German DAX 30 index DAX, +1.26% which is sensitive to news from Russia due to Germany’s close economic ties with the country, closed up 1.3% at 9,626.4. Russian stocks XX:MCX and the ruble USDRUB, -0.04% also closed sharply higher.In other currencies, the dollar DXY, -0.14% declined against most major currencies and slipped back from a one-year high against the euro USDEUR, +0.01%
Oil prices CLV4, +2.37% traded higher, while metals were mixed.
In Asia, stocks closed mainly higher.

9/2/14 Tues. 4:13 MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis & Sara Sjolin says
U.S. stocks mostly pulled back Tuesday, as the S&P 500 lost a little steam after achieving a record close on Friday. A reading on U.S. manufacturing topped expectations but didn’t spark an advance, with the stock market instead starting off September on a down note. “A lot of that was probably already built into the market,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Robert W. Baird & amp; Co., referring to the encouraging manufacturing report. He noted that stocks achieved strong gains in August partly in anticipation of such upbeat economic data. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.05% edged down 1.09 points, or less than 0.1%, to 2,002.28, staying above the milestone level of 2,000. The benchmark hit an intraday record just over 2,006 shortly after the opening bell, but then turned negative. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.18% fell 30.89 points, or 0.2%, to 17,067.56, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.39% gained 17.92 points, or 0.4%, to 4,598.19. Movers and shakers: Staples Inc. SPLS, +8.13% jumped 8.1%, performing best among S&P 500 stocks, after Credit Suisse hiked its rating for the retailer to outperform.
Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.78% ended up 0.8% at an all-time closing high, as buzz builds around a Sept. 9 event where the iPhone 6 is expected to be unveiled. Tesla Motors Inc. TSLA, +5.35% jumped 5.3%, also achieving a closing record, as Stifel Nicolaus hiked its rating for the car company to buy and set a $400 price target.
Wynn Resorts Ltd. WYNN, -4.06% fared worst among S&P 500 stocks, losing 4.1%. Casino operators fell following news of an August drop in gambling revenue in Macau.
What strategists are saying: The S&P 500 topped 2,000 for the first time last week, and analysts already are talking about the next milestone.
Morgan Stanley strategists said in a note on Tuesday that the bull market could run for another five years and carry the S&P close to 3,000.The stock market is likely to keep “grinding higher,” helped by foreign investors for whom it’s “the only place to go,” said Baird’s Bittles. But investors should remain aware of risks in the market, including the fact that zero interest-rate policies mean central bankers can’t lower rates to counter outside shocks, according to Bittles.A pullback by the market isn’t surprising given the liquidity that’s built up from the Federal Reserve’s stimulus efforts, said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. “It’s been defying gravity a little bit,” he told MarketWatch.He predicted a “choppy, churny phase” for stocks for at least a couple of months, noting that September historically has been a weak period for equities. Manufacturing momentum: The day’s data highlight was the Institute for Supply Management manufacturing reading, and that came in at 59.0%, easily topping expectations. Construction spending jumped 1.8% in July, also above expectations, and the final reading for Markit’s U.S. manufacturing purchasing managers index was 57.9 in August, down slightly from the flash reading of 58.0.This week’s biggest economic news is expected to be Friday’s jobs report. Other markets: Asian equities closed mainly higher, while European stocks finished narrowly mixed. The dollar advanced against most major currencies, putting pressure on dollar-denominated commodity prices. Metals prices declined across the board, while oil prices moved sharply lower as well. The greenback “exploded against everything,” said CMC’s Cieszynski.
