Post No. 2,948 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 Wednesday'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 Tuesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 17801.20 down 51.28 or 0.29% from Monday's close of 17852.48. For the year the Dow is up 7.39%. Of the Dow components 8 gained and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies up $1.94 or 1.72%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Verizon down $1.98 or 4.05%.
WSJ pC4 "US stocks shake off overseas selloff" by Alexandra Scaggs, Shen Hong says US stocks resisted a selloff as investors held fast in their optimism about US economic growth despite a steep global sell off. Verizon fell $1.98 as it said the discounts to attract customers are pressuring profit. AT&T is charted under Bad News as competition is hurting its margins.
NYT pB6 "US market steady after oil rebound, while foreign indexes fall" by AP says the market ended slightly lower Tues avoiding the sharp declines in Europe & Asia thanks to a rally in energy firms.
FT p25 "Wall street" by Richard Blackden, Eric Platt says US indices fell in early trading in NY as the market was rattled by China's efforts to ease its credit growth and a political crisis in Greece.
IBD pB5 "Indexes erase big losses; Nasdaq leads, up 0.5%" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says the market showed its not ready to roll over just yet as it bounced back from sharp losses Tues. The current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
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 16.96 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 17.06 (last year it was 16.40). Today's P/E estimate is 15.75 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.75 (year ago it was 15.00) and today's dividend yield is 2.17 up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.15 (last year it was 2.11). The Dow's all-time high was 17958.79 on December 5, 2014. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2771.93 down 8.02 from Monday's numerator of 2779.91. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.40 down 26 cents from Monday's average closing price of $92.66. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.16 (XOM/DIS) down 93 cent from Monday's median closing price of $93.09 (MCD/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was AT&T.
If Tuesday 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 $802 ($277,991 - $277,193).
12/9/14 Tues. 5:17 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
The U.S. stock market staged a rebound on Tuesday but still ended the day lower, even after erasing steep opening losses sparked by China’s tightening of lending rules and Greece’s surprise elections announcement. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.02% ended the session virtually flat at 2,059.88 after staging an impressive rebound from session lows. Small-cap stocks outperformed spectacularly, with the Russell 2000 RUT, +1.79% gaining 1.8% to 1,188.06, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.54% ended the session with a gain of 25.77 points, or 0.5% at 4,766.47.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.29% fell as much as 218 points, but finished 51.28 points, or 0.3%, lower at 17,801.20. Verizon Communications VZ, -4.05% and AT&T T, -2.92% were among top decliners, after Verizon warned of lower profit due to price wars with competitors.“While early activity looked like it was going to be another bearish day, clearer heads prevailed as bargain hunters stepped in about an hour after the open,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading & amp; derivatives at Schwab Center for Financial Research.The dip on the S&P 500 from its closing peak on Friday to a trough earlier today was about 2%. “We may see more of these volatility hiccups in the next couple of weeks as energy volatility continues, and events unfold in Greece,” Frederick added.Overseas news overshadowed speculation that the Federal Reserve may be close to pulling back its pledge to keep rates low, with yields falling amid a flight to quality. Hints of rising rates normally lead to selling of bonds and a jump in yields. “There has been a lot of euphoria since mid-October, even though everyone knew about deflation problems in Europe and Asia, it was not particularly new news. But once fear gripped investors, equities quickly sold off. The fact that Treasurys rising today points flight to quality, even in the face of the Wall Street Journal article that the Fed is likely to start raising rates next year,” said Joseph Saluzzi, co-founder and co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading, a brokerage firm.10-year Treasurys rallied, sending yields down to 2.20% while gold prices jumped nearly 3% on Tuesday. The CBOE Vix VIX, +4.79% index which measures implied volatility on the S&P 500 jumped 7% above 15, highest level since October.The global equity selloff began in a dramatic day in Asia. The Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, -5.43% swung from a 2.4% rise to a closing loss of 5.4%. China’s stocks, currency CNYUSD, +0.00% and corporate bonds were hit hard after Beijing banned investors from using low-grade corporate debt as collateral to borrow cash.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday'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 Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 17958.79 up 58.69 or 0.33% from Thursday's close of 17900.10.

IBD pB9 "Bulls like week's action, but small ball persists" by Paul Whitfield says Friday's action was up in rising vol while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2796.47 up 9.14 from Thursday's numerator of 2787.33. 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 $93.22 up 30 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $92.92. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $93.79 (DIS/XOM) down 1 cent from Thursday's median closing price of $93.80 (XOM/DIS). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $914 ($279,647 - $278,733).
12/5/14 Fri. 4:47 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at record levels on Friday, wrapping a seventh straight week with gains. A surprisingly strong jobs report fueled Friday’s mostly modest, albeit record-setting, advance. The U.S. economy added 321,000 jobs in November, beating the consensus number by 86,000, while unemployment rates remained steady at 5.8%. With upward revisions to prior months, the payrolls number was far stronger than the consensus forecast by economists polled by MarketWatch, which called for 235,000 jobs. A string of robust job gains over the past several months is likely to prompt the Federal Reserve to speed up the rate hikes. Worries among investors that interest rates will rise sooner rather than later, have capped gains on Wall Street, according to Kim Forrest, senior portfolio manager at Fort Pitt Capital.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.17% rose 3.45 points, or 0.2%, to close at 2,075.37, an all-time high. The gain on the benchmark were led by financials and health-care sector stocks, while energy and utilities sector shares lagged behind. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.33% set an intraday high and came within 10 points of 18,000 level, but settled 58.60 points, or 0.3%, higher at 17,958.79. Gains in JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs Group were the biggest among blue-chip stock gainers.The Russell 2000 RUT, +0.80% outperformed large-caps again, adding 9.42 points, or 0.8%, to 1,182.42 and added 0.8% over the week. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.24% added 11.32 points, or 0.2%, to 4,780.76. The index closed lower over the week.

The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron up $2.86 or 2.63%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing down $1.97 and percentage-wise was GE down 1.77%.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2768.13 down 8.01 from Friday's numerator of 2776.14. 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 $92.27 down 27 cents from Friday's average closing price of $92.54. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.53 (XOM/DIS) up 6 cents from Friday's median closing price of $92.47 (AXP/DIS). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 $801 ($277,614 - $276,813).
12/1/14 Mon. 4:07 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks fell on Monday as disappointing economic data from China and Europe triggered a bout of selling in global equity markets. Weak Black Friday sales were also weighing on markets, especially on retailer stocks. The Nasdaq Composite saw its steepest drop in seven weeks, dragged down by big declines in tech giants such as Apple, Inc., Google Inc., Facebook Inc., and Alibaba. Energy and utility stocks were the only bright spots on Wall Street, rising in tandem with a spike in oil prices. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.68% closed 14.12 points, or 0.7%, lower at 2,053.44, its biggest one-day decline in more than 5 weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.29% shed 51.31 points, or 0.3%, to 17,776.93. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.34% suffered its steepest drop in seven weeks, after dropping 64.28 points, or 1.3% to 4,727.35.
