Post No. 2,995 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 Wednesday at 17584.52 up 212.88 or 1.23% from Tuesday's close of 17371.64. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $3.46 or 3.43%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $1.02 and percentage-wise was AT&T 1.28%.
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 16.22 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.43 (last year it was 17.02). Today's P/E estimate is 15.71 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.71 (year ago it was 14.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.24 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.48 (last year it was 2.06). 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.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2738.19 up 33.15 from Tuesday's numerator of 2705.04. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $91.27 up $1.10 from Tuesday's average closing price of $90.17. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $90.51 (AXP/XOM) up 80 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $89.71 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
If Wednesday 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 $3,315 ($273,819$270,504 ).
1/7/15 Wed. 4:42 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says U.S. stocks rebounded on Wednesday, highlighted by the S&P 500 recording its first gain in 2015 and snapping a five-day losing streak. Optimism on Wall Street followed calmer oil and currency markets, which have been behind the brutal selloff in global equities over the previous two sessions that left the Dow industrials with the worst start to a year since 2008. Market reaction to the closely watched minutes of the December meeting of the Federal Reserve was neutral. Minutes indicated that low inflation would not prevent the central bank from raising rates, but not until at least April.The S&P 500 SPX, +1.16% closed 23.29 points or 1.2%, higher at 2,025.90, with nine of 10 main sectors recording gains. Health care and consumer staples sector stocks led the gains, while telecoms lagged. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.23% jumped 212.88 points, or 1.2%, to 17,584.52, with 27 of its 30 components finishing higher. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.26% ended the day up 57.73 points, or 1.3%, at 4,650.47.Earlier Wednesday morning, stock futures had been pointing to a strong open ahead of the release of Automatic Data Processing Inc.’s private-sector employment hiring data.
Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, said that Wednesday’s buying action is most likely due to markets being oversold over the past several sessions.“Global macro factors are still dominating markets, and the bounce in stocks has more to do with somewhat stabilizing oil and euro, than the ADP data,” Sonders said.She reiterated her outlook that the stock market is in mature stages of a secular bull market, which has more room to climb, but warned that higher volatility will bring more frequent and deeper pullbacks. Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank, offered the best analogy for the market’s recent reaction to plunging oil prices: “It’s like losing weight - a few pounds makes us happy, but a massive weight loss in short time means something is seriously wrong. Investors first cheered positive effects of lower oil, but now are worried that it may be more than just an oversupply shock but rather a slowing global growth.”He said markets are more than overdue for a correction, but he still sees a case for staying in equities in 2015, arguing that there’s no evidence that the U.S. economy is going into recession.Data: Private sector employers added 241,000 jobs in December, while November figures were revised upwards. The numbers were far better than anticipated by economists polled by MarketWatch. Some economists say the data should be treated with caution as they have no predictive value for official payrolls due on Friday.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog:
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 Monday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 17371.64 down 130.01 or 0.74% from Monday's close of 17501.65. For the year the Dow is down 2.5%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $3.81 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan 2.59%.
WSJ pC1 "Oil, other energy stocks lead broad decline; Dow loses over 130 points" by Alexandra Scaggs says stocks suffered their worst beginning to a year since the dearly days of the fin'l crisis in '08.
FT p19 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar says the S&P was on track for a 5th straight day of declines, dragged down by energy & industrials. Deutsche Bank downgraded gE from buy to hold and cut their price target from 430 to $28.
IBD pB5 "late sell-off underscores fifth straight stock drop" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says the market's action were indexes slide for a 5th straight day as the current outlook is the market is in a correction.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2705.04 down 20.25 from Monday's numerator of 2725.29. 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 $90.17 down67 cents from Monday's average closing price of $90.84. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.71 (PG/XOM) down 72 cents from Monday's median closing price of $90.43 (XOM/AXP). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 lost $2,025 ($272,529 - $270,504 ).
1/6/15 Tues. 5:07 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Carla Mozee says the U.S. stock market endured another day of selling due to slumping oil prices on Tuesday, with the Dow industrials recording its worst start to a new year the 2008 financial crisis. Indexes bounced off session lows in the late-afternoon trade, which some analysts attributed to short-covering, however, a meager rally late in the day quickly dissipated.The benchmark S&P 500 index fell for the fifth-straight session and is off more than 4% from its peak reached on Dec 29, 2014. Slumping oil prices and flight to havens such as Treasurys led to a bout of selling for the second consecutive day.
Investors were scouring for safe industries such as utilities as well as U.S. Treasurys, pushing yields to the lowest levels since the Oct.15 mini-flash crash. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.89% closed 17.97 points, or 0.9%, lower at 2,002.61, with only two sectors remaining in the green — utilities and telecoms. Large-cap energy sector stocks, which fell 4% on Monday, slumped 1.5% again on Tuesday . The energy sector is down 22% since the June 30, 2014 close, while the S&P Small Cap 600 energy sector has lost nearly half of its value in that time, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.74% dropped 130 points, or 0.7%, to 17,371.64, a day after a 331-point drop on Monday. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -1.29% fared the worst, dropping 59.84 points, or 1.3%, to 4,592.74, ringing up a fifth-straight day of losses. JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade, noted that it would be difficult for stocks to rise in the face of growing demand for bonds.“There is a tremendous appetite for fixed income - mainly because of nervousness about commodity markets. When stock investors focus on oil prices, their first reaction is selling and unwinding of long positions,” Kinahan said. Investors appear to discount positive effect of lower oil prices on broader economy and continue to view the slide in crude as a symptom of slower global growth, which will threaten improving U.S. economy. Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, noted that big down moves in oil continued to spook investors despite the longer-term benefits of lower energy prices.“Markets are overdue for a correction, but so far selling has been measured and not at panic levels. At the moment there are many factors that are weighing on markets, from Greece’s potential exit from euro to possible actions by the Fed, which will struggle to raise rates in current environment of falling inflation,” Frederick said.
