Post No. 2,953 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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 17280.83 down 315.51 or 1.79% from Thursday's close of 17596.34. For the week the Dow was down 677.96 or 3.78% from last Friday's close of 17958.79. Of the Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $4.72 and percentage-wise was IBD down 3.53%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.65 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.91 (last year it was 16.16). Today's P/E estimate is 15.75 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.75 (year ago it was 15.00) and today's dividend yield is 2.20 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.17 (last year it was 2.14). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2690.90 down 49.13 from Thursday's numerator of 2740.03. 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 $89.70 down $1.63 from Thursday's average closing price of $91.33. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $90.56 (CAT/MCD) down 52 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $91.08 (PG/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 lost $4,913 ($273,019 - $269,909).
12/12/14 Fri. 5:06 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says U.S. stocks were pummeled Friday as investors , rattled by concerns about the health of the global economy, fueled tripled-digit losses in blue-chip stocks. The S&P 500 ended the week with the biggest loss in two-and-a-half years, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its biggest weekly decline since Sep 2011.This week’s jarring selloff came on the heels of seven straight weeks of gains, was closely linked to the precipitous fall in oil prices, sending a measure of volatility, the VIX, to its highest level since Oct 17.The CBOE Volatility Index VIX, +4.98% also known as the “Wall Street’s fear gauge,” topped 21 on Friday. Crude oil futures dropped more than 10% over the past week as global supply continued to outstrip demand, while International Energy Agency cut its forecast for global demand yet again.Investors grew increasingly concerned that the global economy might be succumbing to deflation, a consistent decline in prices that leads to recessions and depressions. Traders also blamed unwinding of positions at the end of the year for big declines in the market.Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones pointed out that over time, lower oil prices are one of the best ways to boost global growth, but until prices stabilize volatility in the market will persist. The S&P 500 SPX, -1.62% closed 33 points, or 1.6%, lower at 2,002.33 and lost 3.5% over the week. Energy and materials sectors were the biggest decliners over the week, while telecoms also fell out of favor of late.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.79% dropped 315.51 points, or 1.8%, to 17,280.83 and recorded a weekly loss of 3.8%. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.16% ended the day 54.57 points, or 1.2%, lower at 4,653.60 and declined 2.9% over the week.
Channing Smith, managing director at Capital Advisors, said that investors are realizing that a decline in oil prices is not only due to supply issues but demand issues.

12/11/14 Thurs. 4:38 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
a rally in the U.S. stock market, sparked by robust consumer spending data on Thursday, fizzled out by the end of the session as indexes pulled back from session highs, prompted by a renewed slide in oil prices. Thursday’s modest gains came on the heels of three days of hefty losses, capped by Wednesday’s 268-point drop, which was underpinned by heavy losses in energy stocks and oil futures. Volatility in oil prices dominated stock market action once more. After a brief recovery, oil prices slumped further Thursday, with the U.S. crude benchmark settling under $60 a barrel for the first time in more than five years. Thursday’s trading action appeared to reflect the market’s struggles with the implications of cheap oil. On the one hand, consumers are reaping benefits from cheaper prices paid at the pump. But on the other hand, investors are weighing whether falling oil prices are symptomatic of deflation in the global economy.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.36% rose as much as 216 points by mid-afternoon, but pulled back, ending the day with a gain of 63.19 points, or 0.4%, at 17,596.34. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.45% closed 8 points, or 0.4%, higher at 2,034. Energy sector stocks went from being up 2% to finish flat at the end. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.52% finished the day up 24.14 points, or 0.5%, at 4,708.16.Before the regular market open, data showed that November sales at U.S. retailers grew at their fastest pace in eight months, while October numbers were raised. A drop in weekly jobless claims also points to a continued improvement in the U.S. economy—making a strong case for investments in the U.S. as international markets appear shakier. Jeffrey Carbone, senior partner at Cornerstone Financial Partners, said that while a rapid fall in oil prices spooked a lot of investors over the past few days, economic fundamentals have not changed and he expects confidence to rise.“It was only a matter of time before we could see benefits of lower gasoline prices and it happened at a time when consumers normally spend a lot on gifts,” Carbone said.Speaking about the year-end stock performance, Carbone pointed out that a lot of money managers will be ”window-dressing” their portfolios as they have lagged behind benchmarks, which in turn will boost prices in the final weeks of December. Window dressing refers to the practice of selling poorly performing stocks in favor of high-flying stocks by investment managers near the end of the year. Economic data robust: A trio of economic releases underlined that U.S. economy remains on an upward trajectory. U.S. retail sales rose 0.7% in November, the fastest growth in eight months, supported by autos, clothing and purchases at other kinds of stores, as holiday shopping got under way, according to government data released Thursday.
