Post No. 3,133 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 18057.65 up 98.92 or 0.55% from Thursday's close of 17958.73. For the week the Dow is up 87.94 or 0.49% from last Thursday's close of 17763.24. Of the Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was GE up $2.78 and percentage-wise was Caterpillar up 2.38%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Nike down 75 cents and percentage-wise was Coke down 0.41%.
As of the open of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.40 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.35 (last year it was 15.91). Today's P/E estimate is 16.08 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 16.08 (year ago it was 14.74) and today's dividend yield is 2.26 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.27 (last year it was 2.20). 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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2706.10 up 14.81 from Thursday's average numerator of 2691.28. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $90.20 up 49 cents from Thursday's closing average of $89.71. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.45 (PG/XOM) up 18 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $84.27 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume was Apple.
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 $1,481 ($270,610$269,128).
4/10/15 Fri. 4:46 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova and Sara Sjolin says U.S. stocks ended the session higher on Friday, with the main benchmarks booking their second straight weekly gain.
Friday’s advance came as General Electric Co. surged 11% following an announcement of a comprehensive restructuring plan and a hefty stock repurchases. GE’s surge helped push the Dow Industrials above 18,000 level for the first time in nearly three weeks.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.52% closed 10.88 points, or 0.5%, higher at 2,102.05 and recorded a 1.7% gain over the week. Industrials and energy-sector stocks were the week’s biggest winner, rising more than 3%.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.55% added 98.92 points, or 0.6%, to 18,057.65 and gained 1.7% over the week.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.43% ended the session up 21.41 points, or 0.4%, to 4,995.98 and recorded a 2.2% weekly gain. The tech-heavy index is less than a percentage point away from the 5,000 level.Rallies in Asia and Europe set the tone for U.S. markets, said Chris Gaffney, president of EverBank World Markets.“Markets have been trading in a tight range the whole week as the focus shifted to earnings,” Gaffney said. “The drop in earnings is already priced in. While we expect companies to beat already lowered expectations, forward guidance will be more important,” Gaffney said.Gaffney cautioned that valuations are at the higher end of the spectrum, which he said calls for diversification into international markets.Lacker’s speech: Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, in a speech reiterated his case for June hike.“In current circumstances, raising the funds rate target a notch or two is less like taking away the punch bowl and more like just slowing down the refills. We will still be spiking the punch—just not quite as rapidly as we have been,” Lacker said.

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 17958.73 up 56.22 or 0.31% from Wednesday's close of 17902.51. For the year the Dow is up 0.76% Of the Dow components 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.33 and percentage-wise was GE up 2.88%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Home Depot down $1.02 or 0.88%.
WSJ pC4 "Blue chips add 56.22; Alcoa slips" by Dan Strumpf says a rise in oil prices lifted stocks, as investors pored through the first batch of 1Q earnings reports.
NYT pB6 "Oil gains steady market, but earnings may be rocky" & AJC pA15 "Oil prices help boost stocks" by AP says US stocks edged higher Thurs led by gains for energy firms as the price of oil stabilized following a big drop the day before.
IBD pB3 "Stocks rub out losses, close up in so-so volume" by Paul Whitfield says stocks patched morning losses Thursday as the indexes finished modestly higher as Thursday's action was up in nearly flat vol & the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2691.28 up 18.43 from Wednesday's average numerator of 2682.85. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.71 up 14 cents from Wednesday's closing average of $89.43.

The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Apple.
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 $1,843 ($269,128 - $268,285).
4/9/15 Thurs. 4:46 pm MarketWatch by Wallace Witkowski & William Watts says U.S. stocks ended Thursday’s choppy trading session with modest gains helped by a rally in energy and health-care sectors. The main benchmarks have advanced in four of the past five sessions. The main indexes moved in tight ranges, however, as worries about a drop in quarterly earning continued to haunt investors, keeping some on the sidelines. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.45% closed up 9.28 points, or 0.4%, at 2,091.18. Energy sectors stock rallied thanks to a rebound in oil prices. Meanwhile, eight of the 10 main sectors on the index finished the day with gains.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.31% added 56.28 points, or 0.3%, to 17,958.79, with more than two-thirds of its components ending higher. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.48% ended the session up 23.74 points, or 0.5%, to 4,974.56.Mike Baele, senior portfolio manager at Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said stocks may be the best game in town.“Earnings estimates came down and valuations are on a high side, but we still think that equities are attractive relative to other assets,” said Baele.“In the next few weeks, investors will pay a lot of attention to forward guidance from companies as they beat the lowered threshold,” he said, warning that outside risks, such as Europe’s currency problems and conflict involving Russia and Ukraine, pose bigger risks than domestic growth.FOMC reaction: Investors were still digesting the minutes from the latest FOMC meeting, released on Wednesday, which showed several members supported a June rate hike, but also that others thought a rate hike wouldn't be warranted until later in the year, as low oil prices and the strong dollar would likely hold inflation down. U.S. stock markets ended the Wednesday session slightly higher after the minutes.“What has been taken as dovish FOMC minutes didn’t really shed any new light on the path for interest rates. June has looked unlikely for a while now, and any month beyond that will depend on the data,” said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at forex broker Oanda, in emailed comments. Data: The number of Americans filing for initial unemployment benefits rose by less than expected, while the rate of layoffs remained historically low. Meanwhile, wholesale inventories edged up, as sales fell, in a sign that demand over the winter slowed down.Stocks to watch: Shares of Alcoa Inc. AA, -0.38% lost 3.4% after the aluminum maker late Wednesday reported revenue that missed forecasts and pointed to a challenging outlook. Zynga Inc. ZNGA, +0.42% tanked 18% to $2.38 a share after the videogame maker late Wednesday said chief executive Don Mattrick will leave the company effective April 8, to be replaced by founder and chairman Mark Pincus. U.S.-listed shares of Novogen Ltd. NVGN, +3.26% surged 22% to $5.52 after the Australian biotech company said its experimental drug Anisina was shown to kill melanoma cells.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. BBBY, -5.43% fell 5.3% after the retailer on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter earnings in line with forecasts.Shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. WBA, +5.63% gained 5.6% after the drugstore chain reported profit ahead of expectations.Other markets: Asian stock markets closed mostly higher, powered by a 2.7% jump for the Hang Seng Index HSI, +2.70% Stocks in Europe followed suit, with the Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +1.11% on track to log an all-time closing high. Oil CLK5, +0.67% rebounded from Wednesday’s more-than-6% slide, rising 37 cents, or 0.7%, to settle at $50.79 a barrel. Gold futures extended losses for third straight session, falling $9.50, or 0.8%, to settle at $1,193.60. The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.96% rose 1% to 98.9110, while the euro fell to its lowest level against the dollar in three weeks.
