Post No. 3,062 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 18140.44 up 154.67 or 0.86% from Thursday's close of 17985.77. For the week the Dow was up 121.09 or 0.67% from last Friday's close of 18019.35. Of the Dow components 23 gained, McDonald's was unchanged and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up $4.56 or 2.97%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson down 44 cents or 0.44%.
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 16.93 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.96 (last year it was 15.83). Today's P/E estimate is 16.73 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 16.73 (year ago it was 14.25) and today's dividend yield is 2.45 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.46 (last year it was 2.19). The Dow's all-time high was 18140.44 on February 20, 2015. 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 2824.75 up 24.08 from Thursday's numerator of 2800.67. 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 $94.16 up 78 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $93.36. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.20 (PG/XOM) down 13 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $87.33 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was GE.
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 $2,408 ($282,475 - $280,748).
2/20/15 Fri. 4:38 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sarah Sjolin says U.S. stocks rallied on Friday, sending the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to record levels on news that eurozone ministers agreed to a four-month extension of Greece’s bailout.The main indexes booked weekly gains for the third consecutive week. The antiausterity Greek government sought an extension to its loan agreement and on Friday after hours of meetings eurozone ministers reached an agreement. Athens has to submit a list of reform proposals by Monday. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.61% climbed 12.85 points, or 0.6% to 2,110.30, with nine of its 10 main sectors finishing higher. The benchmark index gained 0.6% over the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.86% swung from a triple-digit loss to a triple-digit gain, adding 154.67 points, or 0.9%, to 18,140.44. The blue-chip index closed at a record high for the first time this year and booked a 0.7% gain over the week.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.63% rose for the eighth consecutive session, adding 31.27 points, or 0.6%, to 4,952 and gaining 1.3% over the week. The tech-heavy index outperformed other benchmarks so far this year, gaining 4.6%, compared with a gain of 2.5% for the S&P 500.The stock market had been trending higher, but news of an accord between Greece and its creditors helped fuel a rally.Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James, dismissed daily moves, but noted that there are probably many traders with short positions who wouldn't want to go into the weekend holding those positions in the wake of positive Greek news.John Manley, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, pointed to the Greek reports as another example the market failed to fail, implying that equity values are growing lofty.“Investors are building up strong confidence, as we see how every dip in this market is bought. Bull markets end when investors get excited and stay excited. The trip to that excitement has begun, but it may last anywhere from 6 months or 18 months,” Manley said.Channing Smith, portfolio manager at Capital Advisors, taking a slightly longer view of the market, said it is hard to explain investor enthusiasm that had led to the rally so far this month.“Investor optimism has been fueled the relative strength of the U.S. economy, unbridled faith in central banks across the globe, which have broadly adopted easy-money policies amid deflation fears, and lack of alternatives, Smith said. Data: Friday’s sole piece of U.S. economic data showed that manufacturing activity picked up in February, with the Markit flash purchasing managers index climbing to 54.3, above forecasts by economists polled by MarketWatch. However, details were much weaker and indicated the U.S. economy has entered a slower growth phase.PMI readings out of the eurozone showed business activity in the currency union grew at a faster pace in February than expected, to reach a seven-month high.Earnings: Nordstrom Inc. JWN, +5.96% turned in fourth-quarter earnings of $255 million, or $1.32 a share, missing Wall Street’s consensus estimate of $1.35 a share. Sales rose to $3.94 billion from $3.61 billion. Shares dropped 4.4%.
Intuit Inc. INTU, +6.16% shares jumped 6.2% after its chief financial officer said Thursday that the company hasn’t found any evidence that its systems were hacked into in connection with a number of fraudulent tax-return filings this month.Fannie Mae FNM, -0.07% shares dropped 7.5% after the company offered a dour earnings outlook as it reported quarterly profits that sank by about 80%.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Friday'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 Thursday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 17985.77 down 44.08 or 0.24% from Wednesday's close of 18029.85. For the year the Dow is up 0.91%. Of the Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing up $2.58 or 1.71%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart down $2.77 or 1.71%.
WSJ pC4 "Blue chips slip; tech lifts Nasdaq" by Dan Strumpf says the Dow & S&P edged lower in quiet trading as energy shares slipped, but tech stocks continued their winning ways. Chevron fell $2.09 and Exxon fell $1.57.
NYT pB5 "Markets fall on slide in utility companies" & AJC pA11 "Utilities drag stocks lower" by AP say US stocks closed slightly lower Thurs as a slide in utility companies weighed on the market.
FT p21 "Wall street" by Eric Platt says US equities were little changed as better than expected initial jobless claims were offset by the slide in oil prices. ExxonMobil declined 2%.
IBD pB3 "Stock indexes end mixed but restaurants heat up" by Paul Whitfield says Thursday's action was mixed in lower volume while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2800.67 down 6.81 from Wednesday's numerator of 2807.48. 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 $93.36 down 22 cents from Wednesday's average closing price of $93.58. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.33 (PG/XOM) down 36 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $88.65 (WMT/XOM). The lowest volume was V and the highest volume was GE.
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 lost $681 ($280,748 - $280,067).
2/19/15 Thur. 4:24 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sarah Sjolin says U.S. stocks ended Thursday’s thinly-traded session mostly lower, as investors grappled with a drop in oil prices and a continued impasse between Greece and its creditors over loans. Meanwhile, mixed economic reports stoked uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s timetable for hiking rates.The S&P 500 SPX, -0.11% ended 2.23 points, or 0.1%, lower at 2,097.45, with six of its 10 main sectors closing lower. Technology and consumer discretionary stocks led the gains, while utilities and telecoms stocks saw biggest declines.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.24% dropped 44.08 points, or 0.2%, to 17,985.77, with two thirds of its 30 members finishing with losses. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc was the biggest decliner among the blue-chips. The Russell 2000 RUT, +0.00% ended flat at 1,227.74, breaking a four-day winning streak. The index of small companies set an intraday record earlier, but failed to close at a fresh high.Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.37% defied the general trend and closed 18.34 points, or 0.4%, higher at 4,924.70, closing higher for the seventh consecutive day.Kim Forrest, senior investment strategist at Fort Pitt Capital, said the oil price appreciation over the past few weeks was likely unwarranted.“There were no fundamental reasons for oil to recover from $43 to $53 a barrel, so I would argue that that was due to short-covering trades. So, when investors realize that there is a lot of oil stored, prices got hit again,” Forrest said. “Weak opening on Wall Street is not surprising, as we have been getting a lot of weak data, despite strong unemployment figures. But as interest rates and inflation keep falling, multiples keep rising. The trend lately has been that stocks open weaker and rise towards the end,” she said. Forrest also cautioned that disinflation, which is primarily due to the oil plunge, is temporary.
“Just as disinflation is temporary, multiple expansion is temporary and when stocks get too expensive they have a tendency to drop dramatically,” she said.Oil blues: Energy companies and oil-related funds were hit, as crude-oil prices CLH5, -1.23% fell nearly 2%, settling at $51.16 a barrel. Among oil-tracking indexes, the iPath Goldman Sachs Crude Oil Total Return Index ETN OIL, +0.26% fell 1.1%, and the Velocity Shares 3X Long Crude ETN UWTI, +1.17% slumped 2.3%.
