Post No. 3,245 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  17977.68 up 217.27 or 1.22%  from Friday's close of 17760.41. Of the 30   Dow components  29   gained and only Merck declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  was Goldman Sachs up $2.93 and percentage-wise was DuPont up 2.16%.  The  only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was  Merck down 8 cents or 0.14%. 

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 0.14967727343149.  Monday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.18 up from Friday's   trailing P/E ratio of  15.99 (last year it was 16.57).  Monday's P/E estimate is 15.78  down from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.84 (year ago it was 15.12) and  Monday's dividend yield is  2.50 down from Friday's dividend yield of  2.54 (last year it was 2.16). 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 closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2690.85  up 32.52 from Friday's closing average numerator of 2658.33.   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 (0.14967727343149) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $5.08  change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.70  up $1.09  from Friday's closing average of $88.61.  The median closing price of  Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.03 (XOM/CAT) up $1.11 cents  from Friday's median closing price of $82.19 (XOM/CAT).  The lowest volume was Travelers  and the highest volume was Apple.

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 $3,252  ($269,085 - $265,833).

7/13/15 Mon. 4:27 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says U.S. stocks closed sharply higher as investors were relieved that Greece and its creditors reached an agreement for a third bailout program, averting a potential ‘Grexit’. The main indexes recorded their third consecutive session of gains, while Dow industrials advanced more than 200 points for the second session in a row. The S&P 500 SPX, +1.11%  closed 22.98 points, or 1.1%, higher at 2,099.60, with all 10 main sectors finishing with gains. Technology and consumer discretionary stocks led the gains.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.22%  jumped 217.27 points, or 1.2%, to 17,977.68, with all but one of its member closing higher. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.48%  climbed 73.82 points, or 1.5% to 5,071.51.U.S. equities followed a rally in European equity markets, spurred by news that a Greek exit from the eurozone had been avoided. After a 17-hour meeting, eurozone leaders agreed early Monday on a package of reform measures in principle for the debt-laden country, paving the way for formal negotiations on financial aid through the eurozone’s bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism, or ESM. The deal must now be approved by national parliaments, including the Greek Parliament, before the formal negotiations can begin. The formal pact is expected by the end of the week.“Investors are optimistic that Greece will take the bailout deal and remain in the eurozone. For now, the risk of Grexit has been removed,” said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones.“We think investors are looking ahead at earnings and so far there aren’t a lot of signs that companies will disappoint. Once companies beat expectations, that will support prices further,” Warne said.

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, 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  17760.41 up 211.79 or 1.21%  from Thursday's close of 17548.62. For the year the Dow is down 0.35%. Of the 30   Dow components    all 30 gained.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Apple up $3.21 or 2.67%. 

IBD pB59 "Stock indexes post nice gains, but market volume falls again" by Paul Whitfield says stocks kept a grip on gains Friday as the indexes made up for the previous session's givebacks. 

Friday's closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2658.33  up 31.70 from Thursday's closing average numerator of 2626.63.   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 (0.14967727343149) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $5.08  change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $88.61  up $1.06 cents  from Thursday's closing average of $87.55.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.19 (XOM/CAT) up 55 cents  from Monday's median closing price of $81.64 (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 made $3,170  ($265,833 - 262,663).

7/10/15 Fri. 4:29 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova says U.S. stocks rallied on Friday on renewed hopes that debt-laden Greece will reach a deal with its creditors this weekend and stave off an exit from the eurozone. A sharp rebound in Chinese stocks overnight, which trimmed some of the dramatic losses over the past month, also helped boost sentiment. The main indexes ended a volatile week, marked by wild swings in global equity and commodity markets as well as a 3 1/2 hour trading halt on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, roughly where they started.The S&P 500  posted its biggest one-day gain in two months, but ended the week virtually flat. The benchmark index advanced 25.31 points, or 1.2%, to 2,076.62. Gains were broad-based, with all 10 main sectors trading higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average  211.79 points, or 1.2%, to 17,760.41 and eked out a 0.2% weekly gain. All 30 Dow components closed higher on Friday. The Nasdaq Composite  rallied 75.30 points, or 1.5% to 4,997.70, but finished the week 0.2% lower.Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial, noted the U.S. stock market over the past few weeks had been driven by headlines. “When there is a vacuum and markets are waiting for corporate news, headlines grab attention. So, it is not surprising to see big swings after events in Greece or China that come ahead of the trading day in the U.S.,” Krosby said.“Earnings this season will be crucial. The Federal Reserve is about to start normalizing rates, whether it happens in September or December or early next year. At this point, fundamentals and future guidance need to be strong to support current valuations,” Krosby said.“Once the Fed begins raising interest rates, we will definitely find out just how much the market was driven by the Fed’s monetary policy and stimulus versus fundamentals,” she added. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, in a speech Friday, reiterated her expectation that a rate hike will be needed this year. Greek hopes: Sentiment on Greece turned upbeat Friday after the country’s government late Thursday submitted a new reform proposal, which appeared to be closer to creditors’ demands on some of the most divisive issues. The reform program is a prerequisite for a new bailout package, desperately needed for the Greece to avoid bankruptcy and a potential exit from the eurozone.    Paul Christopher, global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, in a note to clients, warned of further volatility next week.“A deal to preserve Greece’s de facto eurozone membership can still happen, but, in our view, remains very difficult to achieve. An adverse market reaction could begin as soon as Monday, July 13,” Christopher wrote.
Greece’s banks and stock market will remain closed until at least Monday. The Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF  surged 9.2%, while European stock markets  staged impressive rallies across the board. Cablevision Systems Corporation shares jumped 7.3%, making it the best performer on the S&P 500. Shares jumped after a news story in which French billionaire Patrick Drahi commented that he wanted to buy the cable company. Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. jumped 4%, adding to a gain on Thursday after the company beat earnings expectations.Shares of Apple Inc. climbed 2.7%, ending a five-sessions losing streak. Other markets: Treasurys sold off Friday, driving yields higher for a second trading day, as the Chinese stock market found some stability and the Greek debt saga seemed closer to a resolution.Oil futures  settled 0.1% lower at $52.10 a barrel, booking a 7.4% drop over the week.Gold futures  settled 0.1% lower at $1,157.90 an ounce, falling for a third straight week.
