Post No. 3,318 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 Friday at  16643.01 down 11.76 or 0.07% from Thursday's close of 16654.77. For the week the Dow was up 183.26 or 1.11$ from last week's close of 16459.75.  Of the 30   Dow components   13  gained  and  17  declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron up $2.79 or 3.59%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise was Goldman Sachs down $1.46  and percentage-wise was Pfizer down 1.8%. 

As of the open of  the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Friday's  Wall St. Journal is 0.14967727343149.  Friday's trailing P/E   ratio is 15.94 up  from yesterday's   trailing P/E ratio of  15.59 (last year it was 16.23).  Today's P/E estimate is 15.57 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 15.57 (year ago it was 15.05) and  today's dividend yield is  2.56 down  from yesterday's dividend yield of  2.62 (last year it was 2.21). 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.

Friday's closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2491.08 down 1.76 from Thursday's closing average numerator of 2492.84.   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 $83.04 down 5 cents  from  Thursday's closing average of $83.09.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.32 (CAT/AXP) up5 cents  from  Thursday's median closing price of $76.27 (CVX/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  $176  ($249,284 - $249,108).

8/28/15 Fri. 4:445 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says U.S. stocks wrapped up one of the most tumultuous weeks of trading in recent memory with modest weekly gains after closing little changed on Friday. The main indexes spent most of Friday’s session diving in and out of negative territory, as investors seemed undecided on how to interpret comments from Federal Reserve officials, which followed the pattern of trading for the week. Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer indicated suggested that the central bank might move toward raising interest rates this year, but didn’t specify the month. Fisher and other Fed officials are meeting at Jackson Hole.“The prospect of a rate hike in September is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it would signal the economy is growing adequately, on the other hand it will add to the strength of the dollar and have an impact on overseas revenues,” said Albert Brenner, director of asset allocation strategy at People’s United Wealth Management.Hand-wringing around when the Fed will hike rates has been one of the driving forces of stock-market uncertainty, along with China’s troubled economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.07%  which suffered a 1,000 point loss in a matter of minutes on Monday, traded in a 120-point range on Friday, and closed down 11.76 points, or less than 0.1% at 16,643.01. The blue-chip index gained 1.1% over the week. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.06%  closed about a point higher at 1,988.87. Most of the gains came from a rally in the energy sector, thanks to a big jump in oil prices. The benchmark index recorded a 0.9% weekly gain. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.32%  ended the day up 15.62 points, or 0.3% at 4,828.32 and rose 2.6% over the week.Earlier in the session, market reaction to consumer spending and inflation, both of which ticked up less than expected, was largely muted. Inflation, which has remained below the Federal Reserve’s target, is likely to influence policy makers’s decision over the rate increases this year.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:

A  read of the print editions of  Friday's  Wall Street Journal,   Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Thursday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at  16654.77 up 369.26 or 2.27% from Wednesday's close of 16285.51. For the year the Dow is down 6.55%.  Of the 30   Dow components    all 30 gained  and   none declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise was  Goldman Sachs up $4.81 and percentage-wise was Chevron up 6.23%. 

IBD pB3 "Stocks rally in last hour: big gains, lower volume" by Paul Whitfield says Thursday's action was up in declining vol while the current outlook is market in correction.

AJC pA9 "US stocks rise sharply; Chinese market surges" by Alex Velga, AP says US stocks rallied for the 2nd straight day and the Dow recouped almost 1,000 points in the last 2 days.

Thursday's closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2492.84 up  55.27 from Wednesday's closing average numerator of 2437.57.   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  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $83.09 up $1.84  from  Wednesday's closing average of $81.25.  The median closing price of  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.27 (CAT/AXP) up $2.82  from  Wednesday's median closing price of $73.45 (CVX/CAT).  The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume was Apple.

If  Thursday   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 gained  $5,527  ($249,284 - $243,757).

8/27/15 Thurs. 5:05 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Wallace Witkowski says U.S. stocks rallied to close near their intraday highs for a second straight session Thursday, as China showed signs that measures to stabilize its economy and stock market may be taking hold. In afternoon trade, stocks made a dramatic turn lower but stormed back in the final hour of trading, repeating a pattern of roller-coaster activity that has come to be a trademark of the past several sessions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +2.27%  rose 369.26 points, or 2.3%, to close at 16,654.77, with all 30 members of the blue-chip index trading higher. Earlier, the Dow was up by as many as 381 points. The S&P 500 SPX, +2.43%  finished up 47.15 points, or 2.4% to 1,987.66, after posting a 49-point gain. All 10 of the index’s main sectors traded higher. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +2.45%  climbed 115.17 points, or 2.5% at 4,812.71, after being up by as many as 121 points.As a result, for the week, the Dow is up 1.2%, the S&P is 0.9% higher, and the Nasdaq is up 2.3%. The implied volatility on the S&P 500—the so-called “fear index”—as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index VIX, -13.92% fell 14% to 26.10.A larger-than-expected upward revision to U.S. gross domestic product data, showing that U.S. economy grew at a faster 3.7% in the second quarter, helped lift the spirits of investors that have been unsettled by a spate of volatility. Weekly data on jobless claims, which pointed to continued strength in the labor market, added to the optimism.“Today’s revision means the U.S. economy is growing faster and [the] consumer spending portion points to a stronger growth in the second half of the year. With this kind of growth, we expect $135 earnings per share by the end of 2016,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist and senior portfolio manager at Federated Investors. That translates to a 35% rise in the S&P 500 from its current level by the end of 2016, according to Orlando.Global equity markets rallied following a 5.3% surge in the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, +5.34%  overnight, snapping a losing streak that wiped out nearly a quarter of its value in a week. That jump cheered investors world-wide, as fears about China have been blamed for much of the recent intense selling around the globe.
