Post No. 3,130 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.

A  read of the print editions of  Thursday'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 Wednesday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 17902.51 up 27.09 or 0.15%  from Tuesday's close of 17875.42. For the year the Dow is up 0.45%. Of the Dow components 19  gained, Travelers was unchanged  and 10   declined. The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  was Home Depot up $1.29 and percentage-wise was Nike up 1.23%. The  biggest decliner dollar-wise was Chevron down $1.88 and percentage-wise was Exxon down 1.97%.

WSJ pC4 "Blue chips manage to eke out a gain" by Saumya Vaishampayan says US stocks ended slightly higher the latest in a series of muted moves ahead of 1Q earnings.

FT p21 "Stocks endure choppy session as markets await Fed policy outlook" by dave Shellock says US and European stocks had a choppy session as uncertainty about corp earnings & the outlook for fed policy, plus a steep fall for oil prices, helped counter a fresh outburst of "animal spirits" in the wake of further takeover activity.

IBD pB3 "Nasdaq paces rebound, trade up: IBD 50 up 1.5%" by David Saito-Chung says Wednesday's action saw Nasdaq leading the rebound in higher vol while the current outlook is uptrend under pressure.

NYT pB4 "2 giant deals help lift market, offsetting big drop in price of oil"  & AJC pA15 "Mergers help boost stocks" by AP says corporations worldwide have announced $1 trillion in deals and this has given a boost to the market.  Wed Mylan made a $29 bil bid for Perriog and Shell agreed to buy BG Group for $70 bil.

As of the open of  the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of  Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177.  Thursday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.35 up  from Wednesday's   trailing P/E ratio of 16.32 (last year it was 16.17).  Today's P/E estimate is 16.08 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 16.08 (year ago it was 14.74) and  today's dividend yield is 2.27 unchanged from  yesterday's dividend yield of 2.27  (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 2682.85 up 4.06  from Tuesday's average numerator of 2678.79.   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 $89.43 up 14 cents from Tuesday's closing average of $89.29.  The median closing price of  Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.91 (PG/XOM) up 41 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $83.57 (PG/XOM).  The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Apple.

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 $406 ($268,285 - $267,879).

4/8/15 Weds. 4:46 pm MarketWatch by Wallace Witkowski & William Watts says U.S. stocks closed slightly higher Wednesday in volatile trading following the release of Federal Reserve meeting minutes where several Federal Reserve officials had favored a June rate hike.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.27%  closed up 5.57 points, or 0.3%, to 2,081.90, after being down as many as 3 points earlier in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.15% which had been up as many as 100 points before the minutes and down as many as 53 points after the minutes, finished up 27.09 points, or 0.2%, at 17,902.51.The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.83% which remained in positive territory for the session, closed up 40.59 points, or 0.8%, to 4,950.82.While several Fed members appeared to support a June rate hike back in mid-March, the meeting minutes don’t reflect a spate of economic reports, including last Friday’s jobs data, signaling softness in the U.S. economy.
“Whatever level of hawkishness may have been in place in March such that the FOMC thought it appropriate to drop ‘patient’ is, however modestly, less so today,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG, in emailed comments.What’s just as important is how divided Fed members seem, Greenhaus said, given the balanced dovish and hawkish tones of the minutes. What’s particularly interesting, Greenhaus points out, is language on holding the federal funds rate below its normal run level because “the headwinds that have been holding back the recovery will continue to exert some restraint on economic activity.”Ahead of the release of the minutes, New York Fed President William Dudley suggested that the bar for raising rates in June is high, given recent signs of economic weakness. Also, Federal Reserve Gov. Jerome Powell, in a speech, said he expects economic conditions to support a rate hike later this year. Powell also said he wasn’t troubled by equity valuations and that the Fed was unlikely to put “its toe in the water” and declare overly high stock prices to be a justification for a rate hike.Wednesday’s other big story was oil, which tanked after the Energy Information Administration reported that domestic-crude inventories rose a higher-than-expected 10.9 million barrels to 482.4 million. The increase comes as the market has been fretting about a global oil glut. Trading in the S&P 500 got a boost from Mylan N.V. MYL, +0.20% which jumped 15% on the heels of news that it was proposing to acquire Dublin-based pharmaceutical company Perrigo Co. PLC PRGO, +0.19% for $205 a share. Perrigo’s shares closed up 18% on the news. Seven of the 10 sectors of the S&P 500 closed higher, led by health care and consumer discretionary. Telecom and energy were the biggest laggards. Nike Inc. NKE, +0.07% and Home Depot Inc. HD, +1.13%  led gainers among the Dow industrial components.
