Post No. 3,202 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 as of 6/9/15 and a summary of recent Dow 30 components'  SEC filings as of 6/9/15.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 17764.04 down 2.51 or 0.01%  from Monday's close of 1766.55. Of the 30   Dow components   14 gained, Chevron was unchanged and 15  declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble up $1.19 or 1.53%. The  biggest decliners dollar-wise were Disney and Goldman Sachs each down 77 cents  and percentage-wise was Disney down 0.7%.

As of the open of  the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177.  Tuesday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.14 down from Monday's   trailing P/E ratio of  16.22 (last year it was 16.57).  Tuesday's P/E estimate is 16.00 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 16.00 (year ago it was 15.13) and  Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.34 up from Monday's dividend yield of  2.33 (last year it was 2.15). 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2662.10 down 0.38 from Monday's average numerator of 2662.48.   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 $88.74 down 1 cents from Monday's closing average of $88.75.  The median closing price of  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $85.65 (XOM/CAT) up 15 cents from Monday's median closing price of $85.50 (XOM/CAT).  The lowest volume was 3M  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 $38  ($266,248 - $266,210).

6/9/15 Tues. 4:06 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks ended Tuesday virtually unchanged, after the main indexes gave up earlier modest gains. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.04% closed up less than a point at 2,080.15. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.01% finished the day flat at 17,764.04. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.15% lost 7.8 points, or 0.2% at 5,013.87

6/8/15 Mon. 4:51 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks declined on Monday, with the tech stocks leading the market lower. The slump in the main stock-market indexes marked the third consecutive session, with the Dow industrials erasing year-to-date gains. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.65%  fell 13.55 points, or 0.7% to 2,079.28, as technology stocks led the declines. The benchmark index is down more than 2% from its peak reached on May 21. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.46% lost 82.91 points, or 0.5% to 17,766.55 and turned negative for the year. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.92%  declined 46.83 points, or 0.9%, to 5,021.63.Airline company stocks were among the big losers on the day after analysts at Raymond James cut their ratings and earnings forecasts. American Airlines Group Inc. AAL, -4.46% was down 4.5%, while Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL, -5.01% fell 5% and Southwest Airlines LUV, -2.85% declined 2.9%.Monday’s slump comes after upbeat jobs data released Friday raised concerns that an interest-rate hike this autumn is a possibility. The rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee meets June 16-17.Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank, noted that the market reaction to the strong jobs report suggested investors would prefer low rates rather than a stronger economy. “There is a fear of the unknown, with people realizing that interest rates are not going to stay low forever. So, markets may stay range-bound and affected by good news for the rest of this year,” McCain said.
