Post No. 3,188 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 Wednesday at 18162.99 up 121.45 or 0.67% from Tuesday's close of 18041.54. Of the 30 Dow components 25 gained, GE was unchanged and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $2.68 and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 2.19%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Nike down 58 cents or 0.56%.
As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.48 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.66 (last year it was 16.31). Wednesday's P/E estimate is 16.34 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 16.34 (year ago it was 14.81) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.29 unchanged from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.29 (last year it was 2.18 ). The Dow's all-time high was 18312.39 on May 19, 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 2721.89 up 18.23 from Tuesday's average numerator of 2703.69. 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 $90.73 up 61 cents from Tuesday's closing average of $90.12. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.55 (XOM/CAT) down 4 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $86.59 (XOM/CAT). 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 $1,823 ($272,189 - $270,369).
5/27/15 Wed. 4:09 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended sharply higher on Wednesday, recovering most of the losses from the previous session. Tech stocks outperformed other sectors, sending the Nasdaq Composite to a record level. The index gained 73.84 points, or 1.5%, to 5,106.59. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.92% closed 19.28 points, or 0.9%, higher at 2,123.48, several points away from its previous record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.67% jumped 121.45 points, or 0.7%, to 18,162.99.

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 Dailey, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal & Constitution & Dailey 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 18041.54 down 190.48 or 1.04% from Friday's close of 18232.02. For the year the Dow is up 1.23%. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Apple down $2.92 or 2.2%.
WSJ pC1 "Stocks swoon over worries on economy" by Dan Strumpf says the Dow fell as small cap & tech shares turn lower as a fresh batch of US economic data joled investors.
FT p19 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar says all 10 components of the S&P fell with tech & materials stocks leading the decline.
IBD pB5 "Economic data impress; market sees distribution" by Ken Shreve says a strengthening US dollar didn't help the market which fell due to interest rate hike worries as Tuesday's action was down in higher vol while the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
NYT pB7 "Greece and a rising dollar drive shares down" & AJC pA9 "Fears pummel stocks" by AP says the stock market had its worst day in 3 weeks as investors fretted over Greece's debt crisis & a surge in the US dollar as investors sought safety in US bonds.
USAT p1B "Stocks slide as rate hike angst returns" by Adam Shell says the dow fell Tuesday and posted its worst day in May as a stronger US dollar & mixed economic data rattled investors.
Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2703.69 down 28.54 from Friday's average numerator of 2732.23. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $90.12 down 95 cents from Friday's closing average of $91.07. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.59 (XOM/CAT) Down $1.98 cents from Friday's median closing price of $88.57 (XOM/CAT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Apple.
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 $2,854 ($273,223 - $270,369).
5/26/15 Tues. 4:41 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova and Sara Sjolin says U.S. stocks sold off on Tuesday with the S&P 500 and Dow suffering their biggest one-day declines in three weeks. A sharp increase in the dollar spurred global investors to dump riskier assets such as equities and commodities, while driving them into havens such as Treasurys. The S&P 500 SPX, -1.03% closed off 21.86 points, or 1%, lower at 2,104.20, with all 10 main sectors declining. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.04% dropped 190.48 points, or 1%, to 18,041.54, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -1.11% ended the session 56.61 points lower, or down 1.1%, at 5,032.75.
U.S. markets were closed for Memorial Day on Monday. The dollar DXY, +0.92% rallied on the back of the inflation data on Friday and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, warning that a rate hike is still in the cards for 2015.Oil and gold prices tumbled on the dollar’s move, while Treasurys rose, sending the yield on the 10-year note down 7 basis points to 2.14%. A spike in the CBOE Volatility index VIX, +15.91% which measures implied volatility on the S&P 500, suggests investors are increasingly nervous about a possible pullback. JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade, said a sudden spike in the dollar following remarks made Friday by Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen continued to hit markets, damping earnings expectations from companies already struggling from falling revenues due to currency fluctuations.But Kinahan stressed that the overall trend is still positive in the market. “The spike in the Vix means people are finally buying protection and also shifting into Treasuries again. But until we breach 2,100, Tuesday’s move is not a big deal,” he noted.Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, said speculation that rate hikes can come sooner are back.“The Federal Reserve is data-dependent and with all the weaker data during the winter, investors had previously written off rate hikes this summer, but stronger data is shifting those expectations,” Cieszynski said. Cieszynski also noted that seasonally the period between end of May and the next earnings season is usually weak for stock prices.Positive readings on recent economic data, including a pick up in inflation and job gains, have stoked fears that an interest-rate hike may come sooner than anticipated, unnerving some investors. On Tuesday, a report on durable-goods orders showed signs of revival in business investment in April.
