8/4/15 Tues. pm Dow Closes at 17550.69 down 47.51 or 0.27%

by Dan Kolber

Post No. 3,276 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 Tuesday at  17550.69  down 47.51 or 0.27% from Monday's close of 17598.20. Of the 30   Dow components  10   gained  and  20  declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise was Nike up 94 cents and percentage-wise was Microsoft up 1.56%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Apple down $3.80 or 3.21%.

As of the open of  the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's  Wall St. Journal is 0.14967727343149.  Tuesday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.77 down  from yesterday's   trailing P/E ratio of  16.86 (last year it was 15.64).  Today's P/E estimate is 15.96 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 15.96 (year ago it was 14.62) and  today's dividend yield is  2.40 up  from yesterday's dividend yield of  2.38 (last year it was 2.23). 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 closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2626.94 down 7.11 from Monday's closing average numerator of 2634.05.   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  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $87.56 down 24 cents  from Monday's closing average of $87.80.  The median closing price of  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $76.89 (CAT/XOM) down 77 cents  from  Monday's median closing price of $77.66 (CAT/XOM).  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  $711  ($263,405 - $262,694).

8/4/15Tues. 4:49 pm MarketWatch by  Wallace Witkowski says U.S. stocks closed lower Tuesday, but off the session lows hit when one Federal Reserve president indicated a September interest-rate hike is likely unless there is a significant deterioration in the economy.The Dow Jones Industrial Average  finished down 47.51 points, or 0.3%, to close at 17,550.69, after being down nearly 93 points intraday. The S&P 500 slipped 4.72 points, or 0.2%, to 2,093.32, after being down as much as 9 points. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 9.84 points, or 0.2%, to finish at 5,105.55, after being down almost 23 points.While stocks had been choppy for most of the session, they lurched lower after Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart told The Wall Street Journal that “there is a high bar right now to not acting.” That was seen as a signal that Fed officials are serious about raising rates in September. Among the day’s notable individual moves, shares of Apple Inc. closed down 3.8%. Tuesday’s early-session was choppy following a weak session Monday, when all three stock averages closed firmly lower after disappointing U.S. economic data and a slump in oil prices. A report on manufacturing activity came in lower than expected, reigniting fears that growth in the world’s largest economy is losing momentum. Last week’s lackluster wage-growth figures and a weak rise in consumer spending are weighing on investors’s minds, forcing markets into a sideways situation, said Randy Frederick, managing director at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, in a phone interview.“It is a tough market for people to trade,” Frederick said.Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at Convergex, in a Tuesday note warned that “August is going to be a long and lonely month for U.S. equity markets.” The month is traditionally a slower month for activity as traders take summer vacations.“Domestic stocks hover at the upper end of comfortable valuations, and market internals aren’t helping much to mitigate the volatility that comes with those high price/earnings ratios,” Colas said, suggesting that stocks may be more expensive than their fundamental performance can support.Data due later this week could also dictate the future trading direction. On Friday, the top-tier nonfarm-payrolls report is due, which will be scrutinized for clues to the strength of the labor-market recovery. The Federal Reserve has said it is watching economic indicators—wages and employment numbers in particular—as it assesses when to hike interest rates.
The ADP employment report, considered a precursor to the nonfarm data, is due on Wednesday.
Factory orders rose 1.8% in June, less than economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected.      
Earnings: The reporting season continues at full speed on Tuesday. Shares of Coach Inc.  closed up 3.2% after the luxury accessories maker reported better-than-expected profit and sales for its fiscal fourth quarter but offered a cautious outlook for the coming year.Sprint climbed 4.5% after the telecom company reported a narrower-than-expected loss for its fiscal fourth quarter.CVS  dropped 2.5% after the drugstore chain gave a soft earnings outlook for its current quarter.  Other markets: Chinese shares moved sharply higher after officials announced fresh steps to rein in short selling.
In Europe, markets were generally lower. Greece’s Athex Composite  slumped 1.2% on its second trading day after being closed for five weeks.Oil prices partly recovered from Monday’s selloff. Brent crude on London’s ICE Futures  inched back just shy of $50 a barrel, while the U.S. benchmark  settled up 57 cents at $45.74 a barrel. Metals prices declined, while the dollar strengthened against most other major currencies.

The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog:

A  read of the print editions of  Tuesday'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 Monday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average:  The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at  17598.20 down 91.66 or 0.52% from Friday's close of 17690.46. For the year the Dow is down 1.26%. Of the 30   Dow components  10   gained, JPMorgan was unchanged  and  19  declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise was Disney up $1.12 and percentage-wise was Coke up 1.12%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise  was IBM down $3.28 and percentage-wise was Chevron down 3.25%.

Monday's closing Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2634.05 down 22.12 from Friday's closing average numerator of 2656.17.   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 $87.80 down 468 cents  from Friday's closing average of $88.26.  The median closing price of  Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $77.66 (CAT/XOM) down $1.26  from  Friday's median closing price of $78.92 (CAT/XOM).  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 lost  $2,212  ($264,786 - $263,405).

8/3/15 Fri. 4:44 pm MarketWatch by  Wallace Witkowski & William Watts says U.S. stocks finished lower Monday following weak economic data and a further slump in crude-oil prices, but managed to pare early losses.Stocks had been in clear retreat after the Institute for Supply Management’s closely watched manufacturing survey for July, along with a similar report from Markit, came in weaker than expected. Also, June construction spending grew 0.1%, well below expectations. Ahead of the opening bell, data from the Commerce Department showed personal spending rose slightly less than expected in June, while income was slightly above forecasts. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.52%  finished down 91.66 points, or 0.5%, at 17,598.20, after being down as much as 193 points during the session. The biggest losers on the index were Chevron Corp. CVX, -3.25% which closed down 3.3%, and Apple Inc. AAPL, -0.66% which shed 2.4%.The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.28%  declined 5.8 points, or 0.3%, to finish at 2,098.04, after being down nearly 17 points earlier in the session. While utilities had been the sole gaining sector for most of the session, the consumer staples, telecom, financial and health care sectors managed to turn in slight gains. The energy sector led decliners with a 2% loss. On Friday, the S&P 500 closed down 0.2%, dragged lower by the energy sector, but the benchmark gained 1.2% for the week and 2% for the month.The overall S&P 500 stands 1.7% off its record close in May, having traded in a narrow range for several months. More range-bound trading, or “numbness,” as a recent Need To Know column called it, could be ahead until Friday, with investors staying on the sidelines as they wait for the monthly U.S. jobs report due that day.The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.25% declined 12.9 points, or 0.3%, to close at 5,115.38. Earlier in the session, the index was down as much as 46 points.What strategists are saying: Not much can be read into any one day’s action seeing that stocks made a nice upward move last week, said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG, in emailed comments.“Randomness is going to be at work for some time,” Greenhaus said.“Over the past few months, the U.S. equity markets have been undulating inconclusively between 2050 and 2130,” said Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist for S&P Capital IQ, in a Monday note. He isn’t that upbeat about what could happen this month.August historically has been “among the worst performing months,” and some indicators suggest more volatility ahead, Stovall said. Investors also “have been in a ‘risk-off’ mind-set since the final new high was established in May.”
