Post No. 3,106 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 as of 3/22/15 and a summary of recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 3/22/15.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 17718.54 down 292.6 or 1.62% from Tuesday's close of 18011.14. Of the Dow components 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron up $1.47 or 1.41%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $3.93 and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 3.36%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.91 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 17.01 (last year it was 16.21). Today's P/E estimate is 16.30 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 16.30 (year ago it was 14.85) and today's dividend yield is 2.47 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.46 (last year it was 2.17). The Dow's all-time high was 18288.63 on March 2, 2015. 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 2655.28 down 43.85 from Tuesday's average numerator of 2699.13. 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 (0.14985889030177) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.67 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.51 down $1.46 from Tuesday's closing average of $89.97. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.93 (PG/XOM) down 29 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $84.22 (XOM/PG). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume wasApple.
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 lost $3,385 ($269,913 - $265,528).
3/25/15 Wed. 4:51 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks were bludgeoned in Wednesday trading with the Dow threatening a 300-point drop as the Nasdaq Composite suffered its steepest decline since April 2014 as investors dumped technology and biotechs shares.The carnage on the Street marks the third consecutive losing session, with the S&P 500 and Dow industrials recording the sharpest losses in two weeks and occurred as one of the year’s biggest mergers, a deal between Kraft Foods Group Inc. and H.J. Heinz Co., was announced in the morning.Analysts attributed the selloff to pre-earnings season jitters and investors cashing out of stocks in companies that have seen big run-ups. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -2.37% ended the day down 118.21 points, or 2.4%, at 4,876.52.ost 19.06 points, or 0.9%, to 2,072.44. Biotechnology stocks were hit the hardest, with the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF IBB, -0.06% dropping 4.1%.The S&P 500 SPX, -1.46% fell 30.45 points, or 1.5% to 2,061.05, with nine of its 10 main sectors finishing sharply lower. Energy sectors stocks defied the trend and followed a rally in oil prices higher sparked by an intensifying conflict in Yemen. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.62% lost 292.60 points, or 1.6% to 17,718.54, and turned negative for the year. All but two of its 30 components closed lower. Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial, said investors are beginning to fret about first-quarter earnings and fear the disappointment will be worse than expected. “Traders began buying protection from downside, which means they are very nervous,” Krosby said, pointing to a jump in the implied volatility as measured by the CBOE volatility index, which rose 13% to 15.42.“Investors have been selling top-performing, high-beta stocks for several sessions now, so people owning biotechs and high-flying tech stocks decided to lock in profits and exit before the earnings season began,” Krosby said.John Manley, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, also attributed the selling action to the jitters stemming from uncertainty about the Fed policy and expectations that earnings would be poor.
“Typically, high-multiple stocks, such as biotechs and technology stocks get clipped badly during such times,” Manley said.

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 Tuesday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 18011.14 down 104.9 or 0.58% from Monday's close of 18116.04. For the year the Dow is up 1.06%. Of the Dow components 6 gained and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's up 74 cents or 0.75%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron down $1.72 or 1.62%.
WSJ pC4 "Stocks end sleepy day with a loss" by Corrie Driebusch, Dan Strumpf says Us stocks closed lower with no particular news behinds the slow move lower Tuesday.
IBD pB5 "Distribution this Nasdaq, but damage limited again" by Ken Shreve says stocks traded in a tight range Tues as the action was moderate losses in mixed vol while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2699.13 down 15.72 from Monday's average numerator of 2714.85. 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 (0.14985889030177) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.67 change in the Dow Index.
The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.97 down 52 cents from Monday's closing average of $90.49. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.22 (XOM/PG) down 42 cents from Monday's median closing price of $85.14 (XOM/PG). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Pfizer.
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 $1,572 ($271,485 - $269,913).
3/24/15 Tues. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says U.S. stocks declined for the second straight day on Tuesday, with Dow industrials losing more than 100 points as investors grappled with a batch of better-than-expected economic reports that suggest a rate hike may be nearing. Wall Street is starting to fret that upbeat economic trends may offer Chairwoman Janet Yellen, who said that the central bank plans to be very “data dependent” at the conclusion of the Fed’s policy meeting last week, more reason to hike rates sooner than later.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.61% fell 12.92 points, or 0.6%, to 2,091.50, with all of its 10 main sectors ending with losses. Homebuilder stocks were among the bright spots, rallying after a jump in new-home sales.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.58% dropped 104.90 points, or 0.6%, to 18,011.14, with 24 of the 30 components finished lower.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.32% ended the day down 16.25, or 0.3%, at 4,994.73.Kim Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group, said that markets have not fully weaned themselves off relying on the Federal Reserve’s lose monetary policy.“Today’s CPI was a goldilocks number - the uptick was enough for those who wanted to see a rise, but was not too big for those who worry about high inflation,” Forrest said.Economic reports showing the first increase in inflation in four months pushed the dollar higher. Stocks briefly rose after a jump in new-home sales and a strong initial reading on manufacturing activity in March. But those gains soon evaporated.Randy Frederick, managing director at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, said markets appear to be puzzled about economic indicators, as investors are at a loss of how to parse gauges of U.S. economic health and the implications for the pace of the Fed’s rate-hike plan.Pointing at low levels of implied volatility measured by the CBOE volatility index, Frederick said institutional investors are not anticipating big downside moves. The CBOE Vix has been falling since it spiked in January and at 13, is hovering around its lowest levels of this year.Economic data: The U.S. consumer-price index climbed a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in February, as gas prices rebounded and the cost of food and shelter increased again, the Labor Department said Tuesday.
