Post No. 2,823 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.

A  read of the print editions of  Tuesday's Barron's,  Investor's Business Daily, Wall 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 Monday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed  Monday at 17111.42 down 25.94 or 0.15%  from Friday's close of 17137.36. For the year the Dow is up %. Of the Dow components  8 gained and 22 declined.  The biggest gainer   dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Boeing up $3.30 or 2.64%.  The biggest decliner   dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was ExxonMobil down $1.38 or 1.39%.

WSJ pC4 "Slide in oil prices unplugs energy stocks" by Dan strumpet says Exxon and peers took a hit Mon as US stocks eased but energy stocks fell as US oil prices fell to their lowest level in 8 months.  Exxon fell $1.49.

NYT pB6 "In face of weak global outlook falling energy prices drag most indexes down" by AP says a retreat in oil prices & energy stocks pulled the market mostly lower Mon.

IBD pB3 "Indexes mixed as selling energy drags S&P" by Vincent Mao says Monday's action saw split action in mixed trade while the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.

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 16.24 up from Monday's   trailing P/E ratio of 16.18  (last year it was 15.71).  Tuesday's P/E estimate is 15.10 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 15.10 (year ago it was 13.43) and today's dividend yield is 2.19 down from  Monday's dividend yield of 2.20  (last year it was 2.48). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2664.52 down 4.04  from  Friday's   numerator of 2668.56.  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 $88.82 down 13 cents from Friday's  average closing price of $88.95.  The median closing price of  Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.42  (UNH/AXP) down 25 cents from Friday's median closing price of $88.67 (UNH/AXP). The lowest volume was  Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.

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 $404  ($266,856 - $266,452).
