by Dan Kolber

Post No. 2,924 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  Friday's  Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Thursday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed  Thursday at 17719 UP 33.27 OR 0.19% from Wednesday's close of 17685.73. For the year the Dow is up 6.9%. Of the Dow components 18   gained, Pfizer was unchanged and 11   declined. The biggest gainer   dollar-wise was  Visa up $1.81 and percentage-wise was Intel up 4.66%.  The biggest decliner dollar-wise   and percentage-wise was Disney down 92 cents or 1.02%.

WSJ pC4 "Dow, S&P advance to records once again" by Alexandra Scaggs says the Dow & S&P had records as a bounce in oil prices lifted energy stocks.

NYT pB7 "Rat-a-tat of solid US data lifts market" by AP says the market rebounded on Thurs sending the Dow and S&P into record territory.

IBD pB3 "Stocks erase early losses; retail groups lead way" by Paul Whitfield says Thursday's action was up in mixed vol while the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.

FT p23 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar, Eric Platt says largely positive US economic data helped stocks shrug off global growth concerns that weighed on European stocks.

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 16.80 unchanged from Thursday's   trailing P/E ratio of 16.80  (last year it was 16.44).  Friday's P/E estimate is 15.52 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.52 (year ago it was 15.02) and Friday's dividend yield is 2.19 up from  Thursday's dividend yield of 2.17  (last year it was 2.05). The Dow's all-time high was 17719 on November 20,  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 2759.13 up 5.18  from  Wednesday's   numerator of 2753.95.  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 $91.97 up 17 cents from Wednesday's  average closing price of $91.80.  The median closing price of  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $93.22  (AXP/XOM) up 16 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $93.06 (AXP/XOM). 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 made  $518  ($275,913 - $275,395).

11/20/14 Thurs. 4:34 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
the U.S. stock market finished Thursday’s mostly subdued trading session slightly higher. The incremental gains on the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which came amidst thin trading volumes, were enough to send the indexes deeper into record territory. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.20%   closed 4 points, or 0.2%, higher at 2,052.75, the 44th record close this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.19%  added 33.27 points, or 0.2%, to 17,719.00, logging its 27th record close in 2014. Diving deeper into Thursday’s trading action reveals, small companies outperformed the large, while gains in energy and technology sectors outweighed losses in healthcare and consumer staples. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.56%  ended the day up 26.16 points, or 0.6%, at 4,701.87, while the Russell 2000 rallied, adding 1.1% to 1,170.80.Kim Forrest, portfolio manager and senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group, said that the stock market is very representative of the current economy.“Investors see the latest data as confirmation that the economy is getting better, but not fast enough. At this point, if we see a big rally into the year-end, it will only be at the expense of future gains,” Forrest said. Ahead of the opening bell, stock futures were under pressure after a batch of economic indicators from Europe and China showed weakness. However, markets were able to shake off those concerns following some upbeat data as well as better-than-expected earnings from retailers.Among Tuesday’s positive economic releases was a rise in existing home sales, a jump in the Philly Fed index and weekly jobless claims remaining below 300,000 for the 10th straight week. Consumer prices were flat in October, while U.S. November Markit flash PMI was the weakest since January, declining for a third straight month.
Economists are eager to view the Fed's minutes of the Oct. 28-29 meeting to see whether some officials were more concerned than the statement suggested. Goldman’s call for S&P 500 and data on tap: The investment bank said in its equity outlook for 2015 that the S&P 500 should rise to 2,100 by the end of that year, making for a “modest” 5% total return. It added that the market reaction to the first Federal Reserve rate hike in six years should be “benign.” But Goldman also said 2015 will be challenging for active equity managers, as low volatility is likely to remain a defining theme. The S&P 500 will rise to 2,150 by mid-year, but then slip during the second half, it forecast.Stocks in focus: Best Buy Co. BBY, +6.98%  shares jumped 7% after earnings beat forecasts. Dollar Tree Inc. DLTR, +5.17%  shares rose 5.2% after the discount-retailer beat third-quarter sales and profit expectations, posting its best sales figures since 2011.Salesforce.com CRM, -0.69%  fell 4.5% after the cloud-computing company’s weak outlook overshadowed its slight beat on the third quarter. Caesars Entertainment Corp. CZR, +5.36%  soared 5.4% after Bloomberg News reported the casino operator plans to turn its largest unit into a real-estate investment trust. In other markets : Markit reported that the flash November reading for the composite purchasing managers index in the eurozone dropped to 51.4, its lowest level in 16 months. After the release, European stocks SXXP, -0.26%  tumbled, as did the euro EURUSD, -0.12%  versus the dollar.The data confirms that the eurozone is still in rough shape. Germany’s own November preliminary manufacturing survey came in at 50.0, versus an expected 51.5. Stock futures were also dealing with weakness in a similar gauge out of China, which showed factory activity declined in November, after gaining in the prior month. PMI data out of Japan was also weak.The dollar USDJPY, +0.22%  eased against the Japanese yen at ¥118. The Nikkei 225 index NIK, +0.07%  closed flat. Gold GCZ4, -0.09%  drifted lower, while oil CLZ4, +1.39%  rose more than 1% on hopes that the global cartel of oil exporters will move to tighten the market.
