Post No. 3,016 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 Tuesday at 17515.23 up 3.66 or 0.02% from Friday's close of 17511.57. Of the Dow components 15 gained and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Visa up $1.89 and percentage-wise was Coke up 1.48%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson down $2.75 or 2.64%.
As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.19 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.00 (last year it was 17.04). Tuesday's P/E estimate is 15.33 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.05 (year ago it was 14.82) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.51 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.42 (last year it was 2.08). The Dow's all-time high was 18053.71 on December 26, 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 2727.40 up 0.57 from Friday's numerator of 2726.83. 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 $90.91 up 2 cents from Friday's average closing price of $90.89. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $91.05 (MCD/XOM) up 14 cents from Friday's median closing price of $91.19 (XOM/PG). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was GE.
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 made $ ($272,683).
1/20/15 Tues. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks ended Tuesday’s choppy session with marginal gains, as technology stocks led advances. The main benchmarks turned big early losses into gains, only to end roughly where they started the session.
Intraday volatility reflects uncertainty about the monetary policy in Europe, with investors appearing skeptical about the ability of central banks to combat deflationary forces. The European Central Bank is widely expected to announce a government-bond-buying program on Thursday; however, the program’s scope may disappoint investors, analysts have warned. U.S. markets were closed on Monday in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.15% closed 3.13 points, or 0.2%, higher at 2,022.55, with technology stocks in the lead. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.02% ended with a marginal gain of 3.66 points to 17,515.23. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.44% outperformed other indexes, adding 20.46 points, or 0.4%, to 4,654.85. Apple Inc, AAPL, +2.58% the largest component on the index accounted for a big portion of the gains, as the stock rose 2.6%.Ten-year Treasurys TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.00% rallied but trimmed initial gains. The yield declined by 1.2 basis points to 1.803% at the close. The yield on the benchmark debt has steadily declined over the past 12 months.“The big elephant in the room is deflation, and many portfolio managers are beginning to adjust their models to work in a low-interest-rate environment,” said Marty Leclerc, chief investment officer of Barrack Yard Advisors. “That adjustment period spells volatility.”Leclerc stressed that in the short term the environment will be favorable for stocks, as investors may justify higher price-to-earnings ratios when real interest rates are at zero.Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital, said the day’s action is all about the fear of a global economic slowdown. “We are in the midst of earnings, and markets are not reacting to positive results, and the culprit is concern about Asia and Europe,” he said. “The bond market is afraid of deflation, which is why we are seeing such low yields on long-dated Treasurys.”In economic news, a gauge of confidence among home builders ticked down this month by one point to 57, staying close to the highest level since late 2005, according to National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo data released Tuesday morning. Readings above 50 signal that builders, generally, are optimistic about sales trends.

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 17511.57 up 190.86 or 1.10% from Thursday's close of 17320.71.

The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Home Depot up $3.11 and percentage-wise was 2.43%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Goldman Sachs down $1.26 or 0.71%.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2726.83 up 29.72 from Thursday's numerator of 2697.11. 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 $90.89 up 99 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $89.90.

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 $2,972 ($272,683 - $269,711).
1/16/15 Fri. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks ended the roller-coaster week on a high note, as a rally in oil prices and calmer currency markets provided a rare boost of confidence. The main benchmarks broke a five-day losing streak, but still ended the fourth-straight week with losses. Markets were rocked by the Swiss National Bank’s move to lift its currency ceiling on Thursday, while volatile crude-oil prices and fears of global deflation put pressure on equities this week. S&P 500 SPX, +1.34% closed up 26.75 points, or 1.3%, at 2,019.42, but was down 1.2% over the week. A rally in oil prices lifted energy sector stocks, rising 3.2%, but gains were across the board.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.10% gained 190.86 points, or 1.1%, to 17,511.57, and lost 1.3% over the week. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.39% ended the day with a gain of 63.56 points, or 1.4%, at 4,634.38, and recorded a 1.5% weekly loss.The stock market has been extremely volatile over the past two months, as a slide in oil prices as well as stagnant growth in Europe and Asia has stoked fears that the U.S. economy may not withstand global deflationary pressures.Ed Shill, chief investment officer at QCI Asset Management, said that the stock market is extremely overbought and recommends investors to have ‘airbags’ when the market drops significantly. “We believe that Wall Street’s estimates of 2015 earnings are overly optimistic, as such estimates imply that the U.S. will remain an island of stability while the rest of the world is in serious trouble,” Shill said.Speaking about Friday’s consumer inflation data, he said that the trend is likely to keep the Fed from raising rates at all this year.
“The Fed will be on a hard pause from policy changes - I doubt they will increase rates, but I also doubt that they will do another QE program as they are desperate to normalize rates,” he added.
“Given the oil higher today and not a lot of bad news, it’s not surprising to see stocks higher,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading & amp; derivatives at Schwab Center for Financial Research.
