Post No. 3,125 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 Monday at 17880.85 up 117.61 or 0.66% from Thursday's close of 17763.24. Of the Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M up $2.68 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 3.11%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson up 48 cents or 0.48%.
As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.22 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.16 (last year it was 16.30). Monday's P/E estimate is 16.08 up from Thursday's P/E estimate of 16.07 (year ago it was 14.74) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.31 unchanged from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.28 (last year it was 2.18). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2679.60 up 18.38 from Thursday's average numerator of 2661.98. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.32 up 59 cents from Thursday's closing average of $88.73. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $84.08 (PG/XOM) up 62 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $83.46 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Microsoft.
If Monday 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 $1,838 ($267,960 - $266,198).
4/2//15 Mon. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by Victor Reklaitis & Barbara Kollmeyer says U.S. stocks erased early losses to finish with solid gains Monday, as the Dow industrials rose nearly 120 points.
The stock market’s switch to rally mode was attributed to bets that the Federal Reserve will move more slowly in raising interest rates given Friday’s disappointing jobs report.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.66% rose 13.66 points, or 0.7%, to end at 2,080.62, with energy stocks XLE, -0.04% performing best as crude-oil prices jumped. The benchmark is up 1.1% for the year and stands 1.7% off its March 2 record close.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.66% gained 117.61 points, or 0.7%, to close at 17,880.85 after dropping more than 100 points out of the gate. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.62% added 30.38 points, or 0.6%, to finish at 4,917.32. "We believe that financial markets, perhaps after some volatility, will eventually celebrate the combination of economic growth hot enough to avoid recession, but not hot enough to force the Fed to tighten policy in the near future.”

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's Business Daily, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & Constitution & aily 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 stock market was closed on Friday for Good Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 17763.24 up 65.06 or 0.37% from Wednesday's close of 17698.18. For the year the Dow is down 0.34%. Of the Dow components 22 gained, 2 were unchanged and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up $1.41 or 1.25%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down 68 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft down 1.06%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks peg modest gains, but volume is lackluster" by Paul Whitfield says stocks traded in a tight range Thursday with low vol pointing to institutional indifference as the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2661.98 up 9.75 from Wednesday's average numerator of 2652.23. 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 $88.73 up 32 cents from Wednesday's closing average of $88.41. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.46 (PG/XOM) up 7 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $83.39 (PG/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 $975 ($266,198 - $265,223).
4/2//15 Thurs. 4:36 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says U.S. stocks finished the Easter-shortened week with modest gains after benchmarks advanced slightly on Thursday.The session’s upward momentum was supported by better-than-expected jobless claims, which pointed to continued strength in the labor market, setting the stage for Friday’s closely watched nonfarm payrolls. U.S. stock markets are closed for Good Friday and investors won't get a chance to react to the highly anticipated jobs report until Monday, but there might be some hints at what the market thinks reflected in futures, which are briefly open. On, Thursday, however, the S&P 500 SPX, +0.35% closed up 7.27 points, or 0.4% at 2,066.96 and booked a 0.3% gain for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.37% added 65.06 points, or 0.4%, to 17,763.24, gaining 0.3% over the week. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.14% ended the session up 6.71 points, or 0.1%, to 4,886.94, but was 0.1% lower for the week.Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors, expects the jobs gains to come in slightly below the consensus estimate of 245,000. “The details of the jobs report such as average hourly earnings and wage growth will be far more important for the Fed than the headline number,” Arone said. “The Fed is comfortable with the labor market and it’s the enigma with the inflation that is making their jobs challenging,” Arone added. Paul Vigna and Ed Campbell discuss wage growth in the U.S. economy, and Drew FitzGerald looks at the new, old RadioShack.Sandy Lincoln, chief markets strategist at BMO Global Asset Management, said he is optimistic about equities at this point.But he cautioned that there are no cheap assets. “Equities are not cheap, but fairly valued, while bonds are expensive,” he said.Thursday’s data: Initial jobless claims for the week ended March 28 fell by 20,000 to a seasonally adjusted 268,000, the levels last seen 15 years ago, the government agency said. The number is far below the forecasts by economists polled by MarketWatch. The U.S. trade deficit sank 17% in February to the lowest level since 2009, largely because of cheaper oil, but exports also fell to a 2½ year low in a sign that a stronger dollar and a weak global economy are hurting American companies.Also, Factory orders for February ticked up 0.2%.Stocks to watch: CarMax Inc. KMX, -0.37% shares jumped 9.3% after the company reported on Thursday that its fourth-quarter profits surged 44%, as sales remained strong for the used-car retailer. The stock was the best performer on the S&P 500.Its rival AutoNation Inc. AN, +0.05% shares rose 1.1% after sales jumped 10%. Google Inc. GOOG, -0.03% GOOGL, +0.13% shares fell 1.3%, after news reports that the Europe’s competition regulators is preparing to move against the search giant in the next few weeks. Other markets: European stocks ended mostly lower as investors there were also wary ahead of the long weekend and nonfarm payrolls. Most European stock markets are closed on Friday and Monday. Asia markets closed sharply higher for the most part. Oil futures fell on Thursday amid market expectations that the agreement on Iran’s nuclear program will lead to more oil on the world market. Gold futures settled lower, down 0.6% at $1,200.90 as a better-than-expected reading on jobless claims dented haven demand for the precious metal.
