Post No. 3,026 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 Thursday at 17416.85 up 225.48 or 1.31% from Wednesday's close of 17191.37. Of the Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up $8.14 or 5.83%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron down 71 cents or 0.68%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.52 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.42 (last year it was 15.14). Thursday's P/E estimate is 15.58 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 15.58 (year ago it was 14.75) and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.53 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.20). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2712.08 up 35.11 from Wednesday's numerator of 2676.97. 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 $90.40 up $1.17 from Wednesday's average closing price of $89.23. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.65 (XOM/WMT) down 15 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $87.80 (WMT/MCD). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Microsoft.
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 $3,511 (271,208 - $267,697).
1/29/15 Thurs. 4:28 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks rallied into the close and ended Thursday’s session with solid broad-based gains.
Analysts pointed to a rebound in oil prices as the driving force behind the resurgence, as stocks have been closely tracking crude-oil futures, lately. WTI oil futures fell sharply earlier, but have since rebounded to settle at about $44 a barrel. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.95% closed up 19.10 points, or 1%, at 2,021.26, with all 10 main sectors finishing higher.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.31% jumped 225.48 points, or 1.3%, to 17,416.85, as big gains in McDonald’s Corp and Boeing Co helped lift the index.The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.98% ended the day up 45.41 points, or 1%, at 4,683.41. Ahead of the opening bell, market reaction to a stronger-than-expected jobless claims figure was mostly muted, with stocks dipping into the red in early trade. “The biggest contributor to intraday volatility on Wall Street has been oil. We saw big swings in the stock market whenever oil prices moved sharply in either direction,” said Randy Frederick, managing director at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.Trading on Wall Street so far this year has been nearly twice as volatile as 2014, as evidenced by the average daily price change in the S&P 500 in both directions — of almost 20 points. “Volatility doesn’t always mean losses, and can spell opportunity for traders, as more sizable moves in either direction remain possible this week,” added Frederick.
Ed Cowart, managing director and portfolio manager at Eagle Asset Management, hypothesized that oil, which has dipped by 60% since its 2014 peak in June, is near its bottom.“We are now seeing a very steep contango — when investors buy physical oil and store it, selling it at a higher price for future delivery. Usually it’s a sign that oil prices bottomed,” Cowart said.

1/28/15 Wed. 4:30 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks ended Wednesday’s choppy trading session sharply lower after the Federal Reserve’s policy-making committee reiterated it plans to remain patient and watch the data as it decides when to raise interest rates. Sharp losses added to declines from Tuesday, when markets sold off after disappointing earnings and economic data. A renewed slide in oil prices Wednesday sent energy and materials stocks sharply lower. The Fed gave no sign that it is wavering on hiking interest rates some time in the second half of 2015. The U.S. central bank was upbeat about the economy, while the policy makers repeated that they think inflation will move back to the 2% target after being pushed down by temporary factors.The statement was taken as hawkish and sent the dollar and Treasurys sharply higher, as investors sought the safety of havens.The S&P 500 SPX, -1.35% closed 27.39 points, or 1.4%, lower at 2,002.23, with all 10 main sectors finishing in the red. The energy sector fell 3.9%, as oil fell to lowest levels since March 2009.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.13% dropped 195.84 points, or 1.1%, to 17,191.37, with 27 of its 30 components ending lower. Boeing Co BA, +5.40% was the top gainer, while Chevron CVX, -4.20% , Exxon Mobil Corp XOM, -3.30% and Microsoft MSFT, -3.45% were the laggards.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.93% turned a big opening advance into a loss by the end of the session, falling 43.50 points, or 0.9%, to 4,637.99, as Apple’s big gain was not enough to keep the index in the green.Apple’s earnings surprised even the most bullish analysts as the tech giant reported an $18 billion profit in the latest quarter, sending its share price up 5.7%. Joseph Saluzzi, co-founder and co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading, said stocks reacted to big swings in currency and bond markets.“Stock markets would like to see zero rates forever, but the Fed statement did not give them any hopes of that. Meanwhile, bond yields dropped dramatically, signalling that the economy is not doing as well as the Fed is suggesting,” Saluzzi said.Treasurys rallied after the announcement. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes, which moves inversely to prices, dropped 11 basis points to 1.72%.
