Post No. 3,250 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  18100.41 up 13.96 or 0.08% from Friday's close of 18086.45.  Of the 30   Dow components  15   gained and 15 declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  was  Apple up $2.45 and percentage-wise was Visa up 2.57%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise  was UnitedHealth down $1.20 and percentage-wise was  Intel down 1.26%. 

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 16.68 up from Friday's   trailing P/E ratio of  16.49 (last year it was 16.53).  Monday's P/E estimate is 16.15  up from Friday's P/E estimate of 15.78 (year ago it was 15.08) and  Monday's dividend yield is  2.34 up from Friday's dividend yield of  2.33 (last year it was 2.17). 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 2709.22 up 2.09 from Friday's closing average numerator of 2707.13.   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 $90.31 up  cents  from Friday's closing average of $90.24.  The median closing price of  Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82 (XOM/CAT) down 89 cents  from  Friday's median closing price of $82.89 (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 $209  ($270,922 - $270,713).

7/20/15 Mon. 4:38 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Victor Reklaitis says the Nasdaq Composite notched modest gains and closed at a record for the third straight session on Monday.

The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out gains to barely close higher as a modest rally fizzled out by the end of the session.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.17%  rose 8.72 points, or 0.2% to 5,218.86, extending it record-setting streak.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.08%  traded above its all-time closing high earlier in the session, but gains were curtailed by the closing bell, with losses in the energy and materials sectors curtailing the advance. The benchmark index ended 1.63 points, or 0.1%, higher at 2,128.27, less than 3 points below its all-time closing high.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.08%  ended the session up 13.96 points, or 0.1%, to 18,100.41.What strategists are saying: “Over the last week we saw a nice relief rally in the stock market, but the market is still trapped in the trading range it had been for months,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. “Meanwhile, earnings are beating expectations and we think as the market keeps consolidating and trading sideways, fundamentals will catch up. So, stretched valuations will not be as stretched by the end of the earnings season,” Cieszynski said.
Record closes for the Nasdaq Composite are encouraging for the medium term, he said, even though in the short-term he expects seasonal weakness until October.On the other hand, MarketWatch contributor Michael Gayed argues that “the odds favor a summer correction.”Earnings: Hasbro Inc. HAS, +6.26%  shares jumped 6.3% after the toy giant delivered quarterly profit and revenue that topped expectations.
PayPal Holding Inc. PYPL, +5.42% rallied 5.4% in its first day of trading after being spun off from e-commerce giant eBay Inc. EBAY, +2.40% EBay shares rose 2.4%.Halliburton Co. HAL, +1.83%  gained 7.8% following quarterly results that beat Wall Street’s forecasts.Other markets: Gold futures GCQ5, -3.19% fell for an eighth straight session, falling 2.2% to settle at $1,106.80 an ounce, the lowest finish in more than five years.Oil prices also fell on Monday, with U.S. crude CLQ5, -1.87%  settling 1.5% lower at $50.15 a barrel.European stock markets gained for a ninth-straight session. Asian equities finished mixed, with Japan’s market closed for a holiday.Investors are looking ahead Tuesday to Apple Inc.’s AAPL, -0.02%  quarterly earnings release.

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  18086.45 down 33.80 or 0.19% from Thursday's close of 18120.26.  For the week the Dow is up 1.84%. For the year the Dow is up 1.48%.  Of the 30   Dow components  7   gained, Merck was unchanged and 22 declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was IBM up $1.51 or 0.88%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise  was Boeing down $1.65 and percentage-wise was  Intel down 1.44%. 


IBD pB8 "Google fires up Nasdaq; utilities, oils sink S&P" by Paul Whitfield says stocks indexes struggled to get on the same page Friday as the Nasdaq gapped up while the S&P sagged.  Friday's action was up in rising vol while the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.

Friday's closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2707.13 down  5.06 from Thursday's closing average numerator of 2712.19.   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 $90.24 down  from Thursday's closing average of $88.61.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $82.89 (XOM/CAT) down 47 cents  from Thursday's median closing price of $83.36 (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 $506  ($271,219 -$270,713).

7/17/15 Fri. 4:40 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Victor Reklaitis says the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.91%  closed at a record on Friday, powered by a rally in technology companies following Google’s blockbuster results. The tech-heavy index gained 44.96 points, or 0.9%, to close at 5,210.14, booking a 4.25% weekly rise. Google GOOGL, +16.26% GOOG, +16.05%  shares soared 16% to a record close, after the tech giant beat analysts’ expectations for quarterly profits after the market close on Thursday. However, action in the broader market, captured in the S&P 500 COMP, +0.91% was less robust, as nine of the 10 major sectors finished lower, led by losses in energy, materials and utilities sector stocks. The benchmark index eked out a modest gain, rising 2.35 points, or 0.1%, to 2,126.64, settling only 4 points below its all-time closing high. After three weeks of declines, the index posted its first weekly gain of 2.4%. Without Google, the S&P 500 would have lost ground Friday, according to data compiled by Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Indices. On an index level, adjusted for float, the two Google issues added approximately 6.20 points to the S&P 500 for the day, he said.Some analysts doubt the benchmark index can surpass its record and move higher.“While I would like to believe the S&P 500 can rocket through those [all-time] highs into another whole new leg to the upside, my models just don’t support that view. What is more likely is for the SPX to fail in making a new all-time high, or marginally make one, but then succumb to a bout of selling,” wrote Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.19%  ended lower, falling 33.80 points, or 0.2%, to 18,086.45 but still booked a 1.8% weekly gain.The market has rallied over the week as fears about Greece’s debt crisis have receded, and as Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen and other central bankers worked to reassure investors.
