Post No. 2,900 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 17390.52 up 195.10 or 1.13% from Thursday's close of 17195.42. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $4.78 and percentage-wise was 1.13%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down 21 cents or 0.27%.
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 16.20 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.97 (last year it was 15.97). Friday's P/E estimate is 14.92 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 14.92 (year ago it was 14.65) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.23 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.22 (last year it was 2.10). The Dow's all-time high was 17390.52 on October 31, 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 2707.98 up 30.38 from Thursday's numerator of 2677.60. 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 $90.27 up $1.02 from Thursday's average closing price of $89.25. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.16 (DIS/NKE) up 55 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $91.61 (DIS/NKE). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Intel.
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 $3,038 ($270,798 - $264,317).
10/31/14 Fri. 4:16 MarketWatch by Barbara Kollmeyer & Anora Mahmudova says the U.S. stock market rallied on Friday, sending the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average into record territory, after a surprise stimulus plan from the Bank of Japan was announced. Some analysts noted that the recovery from the recent pullback, which sent the S&P 500 down nearly 8% early this month, was the second fastest recovery since 2010. The main benchmarks finished the week and the month higher. The measures announced by Japan appeared to encourage investors, who have been looking for regions like Europe and Asia to take further steps toward boosting flagging growth, as the Federal Reserve wraps its own stimulus program. The S&P 500 SPX, +1.17% closed at a record high, having rung up a new closing high every month since June 2013, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. The benchmark index gained 23.27 points, or 1.2%, to 2,017.92 on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.13% also closed at a record level, having hit an intraday high in morning session. The blue-chip index rose 194.71 points, or 1.1%, to 17,390.13, and recorded its biggest weekly gain in nearly two years. The Dow swung wildly during October - moving triple-digits 16 times out of 23, but still ended the month higher. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.41% rallied 64.60 points, or 1.4%, to 4,630.74 and closed at the highest level since March 2000. Global stocks were boosted by the Bank of Japan’s surprise increase in its stimulus, with the Nikkei 225 index soaring nearly 5%. The BOJ board voted 5-4 in favor of increasing the central bank’s annual asset purchases to 80 trillion yen, from a prior target range of ¥60 trillion to ¥70 trillion, amid worries about dwindling inflation and downbeat economic data.
Investors did not dwell on softer-than-expected economic reports on consumer spending and labor costs. Consumer spending in the U.S. fell in September for the first time in eight months, while employment costs rose for the second straight quarter to mark the biggest back-to-back gain since 2008. “The U.S. sends 4.5% of it exports to Japan, and so any action that can: (a) ward off the threat of deflation and the crippling effect that has on consumer expenditure; (b) give a boost to the Japanese economy, which is the world’s third largest, has to be seen as a strong positive for future earnings potential,” said Stephen Pope, managing partner at Spotlight Ideas.More data at month’s end: The final October reading on the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment index rose to the highest level since July 2007. Separately, Chicago PMI rose to a one-year high in October, helped by gains in new orders, MNI Indicators said Friday.Stocks to watch: GoPro Inc. GPRO, +12.97% surged after results topped Wall Street estimates. AbbVie Inc. ABBV, +3.73% shares rallied after the company said sales and profit beat analyst forecasts. Madison Square Garden Co. MSG, +2.27% shares rose after its fiscal first quarter revenue far surpassed analyst estimates. The company is currently considering splitting itself in two. Starbucks Corp. SBUX, -2.28% is down after its first-quarter outlook fell below forecasts. Shares of Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.95% hit an intraday record in morning trade and shares gained 34% since the start of the year. Gold sinks as dollar soars: Gold prices GCZ4, -2.31% were trading at levels not seen since 2010, dropping nearly $34 to $1,164.30, with the dollar USDJPY, +2.83% trading around ¥112.01. Oil CLZ4, -0.54% also pulled back 1.5%. Asian markets were higher, with the Nikkei NIK, +4.83% closing at its highest level in nearly seven years, on the back of the Japanese stimulus. European stocks SXXP, +1.84% rallied along with global stocks.

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 Business Daily, USA Today, New York Times & Atlanta Journal & Constitution & Daily Report (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 17195.42 up 221.11 or 1.30% from Wednesday's close of 16974.13. For the year the Dow is up 3.73%. Of the Dow components 25 gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Visa up $21.99 or 10.24%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel down $1.34 or 3.95%.
WSJ pC1 "Outage powers stocks in flash blast" by Bradley Hope, Alexandra Scaggs, Dan Strumpf says US stocked extended their late Oct rally in a session that was marred by a glitch that forced the NYSE for the first time to conduct afternoon trading from a disaster recovery center in Chiago. Visa, charted under Good News' spurred a broad advance.
MYT pB9 "Upbeat economic and corporate news lift market" by Reuters says Visa accounted for 140 points of the 221 point gain in the Dow.
FT p23 "wall Street" says US stocks were muted after the Fed set a more hawkish tone at its meeting wed and following a better than expected 3.5% rise in 3Q US GDP. Visa climbed 9% leading the S&P after it beat 4Q profit estimates and unveiled a $5bn share buyback program.
IBD pB3 "Stocks shake weak start, post respectable gains" by Paul Whitfield says the Dow rose 1.3% mostly due to Visa's 10% gain as Thursday's action was up in lower vol while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
AJC pA17 "Visa leads Dow advance" by AP says the market closed higher Thurs as big firms turned in decent quarterly results.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2677.60 up 34.43 from Wednesday's numerator of 2643.17. 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 $89.25 up $1.14 from Wednesday's average closing price of $88.11. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $91.61 (DIS/NKE) up 87 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $90.74 (DIS/NKE). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Intel.
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 made $3,443 ($267,760 - $264,317).
10/30/14 Thurs. 4:05 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says the Dow Jones Industrial Average dominated Thursday's trading session, by rallying more than 200 points, owing most of its gains to a jump in Visa Inc. Broader benchmarks also rose, after a pair of upbeat economic reports a day after the Federal Reserve officially announced the conclusion of its bond-purchasing initiative. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.30% closed 221.24 points, or 1.3%, higher at 17,195.55. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.62% flirted with the 2,000 level, but closed just below, adding 12.34 points, or 0.6%, to 1,994.64. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.37% ended 16.91 points, or 0.4%, higher at 4,566.14.
