Post No. 3,192 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 18040.37 up 29.69 or 0.16% from Friday's close of 18010.68. Of the 30 Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs up $1.62 and percentage-wise was DuPont up 0.89%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel down 55 cents or 1.61%.
As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.45 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.56 (last year it was 16.35). Monday's P/E estimate is 16.12 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 16.34 (year ago it was 14.91) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.34 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.28 (last year it was 2.22). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2703.51 up 4.45 from Friday's average numerator of 2699.06. 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 $90.12 up 15 cents from Friday's closing average of $89.97. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.33 (XOM/CAT) up 7 cents from Friday's median closing price of $85.26 (XOM/CAT). The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Intel.
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 $445 ($270,351 - $269,906).
6/1/15 Mon. 4:23 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says U.S.
U.S.
stocks eked out modest gains on Monday as investors digested a mixed bag
of economic reports, including data on consumer spending, construction
and manufacturing. The S&P 500
SPX, +0.21%
rose 4.35 points, or 0.2%, to
close at 2,111.74, with eight of its 10 main sectors finishing higher.
Industrials, technology and health care stocks led the gains.The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA, +0.16%
gained 29.69 points, or 0.2%,
to 18,040.37, with more than half of its 30 components finishing higher.
The Nasdaq Composite
COMP, +0.25%
ended the session up 12.90 points, or 0.3%, at 5,082.93.In
the day’s economic reports, slightly disappointing consumer spending
data offset better-than-expected manufacturing news for April that
suggested weather and the West Coast port strikes had cut into
first-quarter activity. Investors weighed how recent economic data will
influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on when to begin raising
interest rates.Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential
Financial, noted the range-bound stock market suggests investors are
waiting for a catalyst to move definitively higher or lower.“The
most important data this week is the official monthly jobs report due on
Friday and investors will be watching the wage growth component very
carefully,” Krosby said.“The stock market is still very much
dependent on the Federal Reserve. If we have weak data and the Fed puts
off the normalization of interest rates, then we might see the market
climb further. Alternatively, if the Fed starts normalizing rates this
year, while revenue growth is still falling, markets will reprice,”
Krosby said referring to a possible pullback. Earlier, stock futures took cues from gains in Asian markets, which came after weak manufacturing data
for China triggered hopes of more stimulus there. But a looming
deadline for a Greek repayment to the International Monetary Fund
threatens to make it a volatile week for global equities. “Greece
continues to be an issue that may provide that catalyst and at least
today, there weren’t any negative news,” said Kate Warne, investment
strategist at Edward Jones.

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 & 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 Friday's closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 18010.68 down 115.44 or 0.64% from Thursday's close of 18126.12. For the week the Dow was down 221.34 or 1.21% from last Friday's close of 18,232.02. For the year the Dow is up 1.05%. Of the 30 Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck up $1.19 or 1.99%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $2.29 and percentage-wise was GE down 1.3%.
IBD pB8 "Stocks suffer moderate sell-off, but strength persists in niches" by Paul whitfield says stocks chalked up another week of small changes & tight weekly closes as Friday's action was down in rising vol & the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2699.06 down 17.3 from Thursday's average numerator of 2716.36. 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 $89.97 down 58 cents from Thursday's closing average of $90.55. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.26 (XOM/CAT) down 30 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $85.56 (XOM/CAT). 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 lost $1,730 ($271,636 - $269,906).
5/29/15 Fri. 4:09 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says U.S. U.S. stocks closed lower on Friday after a string of weak economic reports, finishing the week with modest losses. However, the main indexes recorded a second straight month of gains. The benchmark S&P 500 and Dow industrials gained about 1% in May. The S&P 500 closed 13.40 points, or 0.6%, lower at 2,107.39 and shed 0.9% over the week. Friday’s losses were across the board. The Dow Jones Industrial Average 115.44 points, or 0.6%, to 18,010.68 and ended the week 1.2% lower. The Nasdaq Composite ended the session down 27.95 points, or 0.6%, at 5,032 and posted a 0.4% loss over the week. The tech-heavy index gained 2.6% over the month, however.Investors assessed the second estimate of first quarter gross domestic product, which showed the economy shrank at a 0.7% annual pace during the first three months of the year. A previous reading showed 0.2% growth. Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors U.S. business, said that while the revision was better than expected, he is still looking for signs that the weakness was transitory and weather related.“While we did pay attention to the drop in earnings in the report, that can be explained by the stronger dollar, which hurt a lot of multinational companies and the drop in oil prices that hurt energy firms. As the dollar and oil stabilized, we expect to see higher profits that will drive prices in the near term,” Arone said.Jeff Weniger, investment strategist and portfolio manager at BMO Global Asset Management, noted that the market hasn’t made a material advance to new highs since the end of last year.“We think the market is a lot nearer the top, given where the valuation metrics are. There are very few real value stocks in the U.S. at the moment. We have cut our position in U.S. stocks to net underweight from net overweight and favor emerging markets and other developed markets. Long U.S. stocks and the dollar trade is overcrowded,” Weniger said.
Wouter Sturkenboom, senior investment strategist at Russell Investments in London, said Wall Street is definitely weary of trying to guess when the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates.“We are now in this weird zone where people wonder if good news is bad news, or simply good news after all. It looks like it will be difficult for U.S. stocks to break out of its current trading range,” said Sturkenboom in emailed comments.In a negative sign for an economy that contracted in the first quarter, data released Friday showed that consumer sentiment dropped in May to a six-month low.
Separately, the Chicago PMI plunged in May to a reading of 46.2 from 52.3 in April.Weniger said that the labor market is a lagging indicator and the economy looks as though it reached its cycle peak.
Stocks to watch:Humana Inc. shared jumped 20% after news reports that the health insurer is considering selling the company, a move that could trigger a widely anticipated wave of consolidation in the industry.Shares of chip maker Altera Corp. rose 4.2% after the New York Post reported Intel Corp. is nearing a deal to buy its smaller rival. Intel shares rose 1.1%. Shares of Google Inc. fell 1.4% even as the company unveiled Android Pay, a new mobile payment service that is expected to compete directly with Apple Inc.’s Apple Pay.
