Post No. 2,892 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 Thursday at 16117.24 down 24.5 or 0.15% from Wednesday's close of 16141.74. Of the Dow components 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up $3.23 or 3.93%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Goldman Sachs down $4.66 or 2.63%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 15.37 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.39 (last year it was 15.83). Thursday's P/E estimate is 14.73 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 14.73 (year ago it was 14.13) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.31 unchanged from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.31 (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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2509.71 down 3.82 from Wednesday's numerator of 2513.53. 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 $83.66 down 12 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $83.78. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.82 (PG/UNH) down $2.99 from Wednesday's median closing price of $82.56 (UNH/PG). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 lost $382 ($251,353 - $250,971).
10/16/14 Wed. 4:50 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says an attempted rebound by the U.S. stock market Thursday fizzled out by the end of the session, as the main benchmarks wrapped up another rocky trading day essentially flat. The start of Thursday’s trading looked like the market was in store for another bludgeoning with the main benchmark falling 1% at the open. Nervousness after Wednesday’s brutal ride marked much of the day’s general demeanor. That’s until James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve, raised the possibility of extending bond purchases. The bond purchases, which is a vestige a 2008 crisis-era plan intended to stimulate the economy, is expected to end this month. Bullard said the Federal Reserve should consider extending its bond-buying program beyond October to see how the U.S. economic outlook evolves. Bullard isn’t a voting member this year of the rate-setting FOMC, but investors appeared to take his comments to heart, lifting markets higher.While broader markets struggled to hold onto gains, small and mid-cap companies rallied. The Russell 2000 rose 13 points, or 1.3%, to 1,085.83 and the small-cap index outperformed the S&P 500 this month. Recent strength has been attributed to buyers getting attracted to relative cheapness of small stocks, after the Russell 2000 recorded a 13% decline from peak to trough. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.01% closed flat at 1,862.76, with energy sector leading the gains.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.15% slipped 24.5 points, or 0.2%, to 16,116.24, closing low for the sixth straight session. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.05% ticked up 2 points to 4,217.39. Jeffrey D. Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James wrote in a note that Wednesday’s roller-coaster session was due to market participants’ inability to manage their risk in July, when he prematurely predicted that the market would see a 10% correction. “The time to raise cash was in the June—August time frame, when the dollar took off and negative divergences mounted, not now,” he wrote.In economic news, initial weekly jobless claims dropped to their lowest level in more than 14 years, while industrial production climbed 1% in September. Manufacturers in the Philadelphia region expanded a bit more slowly in October but growth was still strong, according to the Philadelphia Federal Reserve. A gauge of confidence among home builders pulled back this month from a nine-year high in September, falling five points to 54, according to National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo data released Thursday. Earnings: The results season continued at full speed on Thursday, with a heavy lineup ahead of the opening bell. Goldman Sachs GS, -2.63% reported third-quarter earnings of $4.57, beating a consensus estimate from FactSet of $3.21, but reported higher expenses. Shares fell 2.6%.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2513.53 down 37 from Tuesday's numerator of 2540.53. 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.

10/15/14 Wed. 4:51 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says Wall Street flirted with its worst decline in more than 3 years in a roller -coaster day of trading that culminated with shares recovering from the depths of what began as a bona fide market rout Wednesday. U.S. stocks sold off amid the largest volume in nearly three years, as investors jettisoned risky securities and scrambled for the safety of government bonds as 10-year Treasurys surged and yields briefly dipped below 2%, until settling at a 52-week low. Implied volatility on the S&P 500, as measured by the CBOE Vix index jumped to levels not seen in more than 2 years. Vix rose 15% to 26. The S&P 500 briefly turned negative for the year before rebounding and on intraday basis recorded a 9.8% decline from peak to trough. The benchmark index closed down 15.21 points, or 0.8%, to 1,862.49. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell as much as 460 points, but finished down 173.45 points, or 1.1%, to 16,141.74. The Nasdaq Composite at one point entered correction territory, falling more than 10% from its previous peak, but regained its footing, finishing with modest losses. The tech-heavy index closed down 11.85 points, or 0.3%, to 4,215.32. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 defied selling pressure and finished the day up 7 points, or 0.7%, at 1,069. Recap of today’s stock market coverage live blog.
Strategists at Voya Investment Management blamed a “perfect storm” on the selloff. That storm includes: “The surging dollar, plummeting oil prices and recessionary bond yields are creating havoc in the markets because they are signaling deflation. No, not just in Europe but globally as well,” they wrote in a note. Disappointing economic reports added to already jittery sentiment on Wall Street. Reports on manufacturing in the state of New York and U.S. wholesale prices missed expectations, and a reading on retail sales showed a decline for the first time in eight months. Today’s market-moving news: The financial sector led the rout in U.S. stocks on Wednesday, as investors grew concerned about a range of issues from the economy to inflation to the current Ebola outbreak.
Bank of America reported a third-quarter loss that was smaller than expected, however, shares fell 4.6%. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. was the biggest loser in the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 4.2%. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund , which tracks financial stocks in the S&P 500 SPX fell 3.4%.AbbVie Inc. shares rose 0.9% after the U.S. drug maker indicated it’s reconsidering a $54 billion deal to buy Shire PLC in light of new Treasury rules that make that deal less attractive. Shares of Shire slumped 22% in London, weighing on the FTSE 100, while its U.S.-listed shares sank 30%. The AbbVie news spilled over to other so-called inversion plays. Covidien PLC, which earlier this year agreed to be acquired by Medtronic Inc., led S&P 500 decliners, falling 7%.Hazmat-suit related companies that recently rallied on Ebola fears were surging once again. Shares of Lakeland Industries Inc. rallied 10%, Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. jumped 14% and Versar Inc. soared 65.24% to $6.94.
