Post No. 3,165 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  Monday's Barron's &  Investor's Business Dailey; the combined Sat/Sun issued of each of the Wall Street Journal & Financial Times; Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal & Constitution   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 Friday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 18191.11 up 267.05 or 1.49%  from Thursday's close of 17924.06.  For the week the Dow is up 110.97 or 0.61% from last Friday's close of 18080.14. For the year the Dow is up 2.07%.  Of the 30   Dow components all 30   gained and none  declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $3.97 and percentage-wise was Visa up 4.34%.

IBD pB8 "Stock indexes post bold gains, but volume steps back again" by Paul Whitfield says Friday's action saw big gains in lighter vol while the current outlook is market in correction.,

WSJ pB1 "Jobs figures end blue chips up 267" by Dan Strumpf says US stocks rose sharply after the April employment report showed an economy continuing to grow but at a pace that could keep the Fed from raising interest rates until late this year.

Sat. NYT pB6 "Jobs report pushes indexes higher" & Sat. AJC pA10 "Stocks advance on jobs report" by AP say US stocks jumped Friday due to a report that showed employers added 223,000 jobs in April and the unemployment rate fell to 5.4% from 5.5% in March, the lowest rate since May '08.

FT p14 "Monster drained after Coke deal weighs on earnings" by Mamta Badkar, Eric Platt says Monster Beverage was the S&P worst performer after its deal with Coke weighed on 1Q profits and Goldman downgraded Monster.  US stocks rallied after the latest jobs report showed US hiring rebounded in April.

As of the open of  the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of  Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177.  Monday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.63 up from Friday's   trailing P/E ratio of  16.39 (last year it was 16.24).  Monday's P/E estimate is 16.31 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 16.03 (year ago it was 14.78) and  Monday's dividend yield is 2.27 down from  Friday's dividend yield of  2.38 (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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2726.10 up 40.02 from Thursday's average numerator of 2686.08.   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 $90.87 up $1.33 cents from Thursday's closing average of $89.54.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.15 (CAT/XOM) up $1.13  cents from Thursday's median closing price of $87.02 CAT/XOM).  The lowest volume was Travelers  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 $4,020  ($272,610 - $268,608).

5/8/15 Fri. 4:28 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova and Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks soared on Friday, with the Dow industrials posting their largest one-day point gain in more than three months. Solid gains on Friday helped the S&P 500 and Dow end the turbulent week with modest gains. Sentiment was lifted by nonfarm-payrolls data, which pointed to a pace of employment growth that was healthy enough to suggest that the economy may be on solid footing, but not so much as to quicken the first Federal Reserve rate hike. The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate fell to 5.4%, largely in line with expectations.
Scott Wren, senior global equity strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, said the jobs number was good but not great and exactly what the market needed to head higher.“It was a healthy jobs number, indicating the economy is doing OK, but it’s unlikely to sway the Federal Reserve too much,” Wren said. The solid employment report put the major indexes on track to finish the week slightly higher after a tumultuous week of trading.The S&P 500 SPX, +1.35%  closed 28.09 points, or 1.4%, higher at 2,116.09 and gained 0.4% over the week. All 10 main sectors finished higher on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.49%  jumped 267.05 points, or 1.5%, to 18,191.11 and finished the week 0.9% higher. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.17%  ended the session 58 points, or 1.2%, higher at 5,003.55 and finished the week roughly where it started.
“Despite the 5.4% unemployment rate, we believe there are still too many people who are part-time or marginally attached, which is why we are not seeing wage increases,” Wren said.
JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade, said stocks may continue to advance in a low-rate environment as investors chase richer returns that can’t be obtained in haven-investment like bonds.
“It is a good day for the stock market, but I would agree that the reaction may be a little overdone. As big today’s jump is, we are still not breaking out of the range that we had been stuck for months,” Kinahan said referring to a range of 2,080 and 2,112 on the S&P 500.“Certainly, the jobs number took the edge off the disappointing [gross-domestic product] growth in the first quarter, and there is more evidence that March was an anomaly and weather related,” Kinahan added.Randy Frederick, Managing Director of Trading and Derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, said that the market anticipated a much weaker jobs number leading up to Friday and solid gains in employment resulted in a relief rally.
