3/8/13 Fri. am Bank of America & JPMorgan Pass Fed's Stress Tests

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,082  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 ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of 3/1/13 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of 3/1/13.

A read of the print editions of   Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga. - carries Boomberg) 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 stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 14,329.49 up 33.25 or 0.23% from Wednesday's close of 14,296.24. For the year the Dow is up9.35 %.   Of the Dow components 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing up $1.97 and percentage-wise was Bank of America up 2.85 %. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Exxon down 85 cents or 0.95%.

WSJ pC4 "A record streak rolls on" by Alexandra Scaggs says more encouraging news from the labor market pushed the Dow to a 3rd straight day of new highs. Bank of America dded 34 cents while JPMorgan climbed 60 cents after news they exceeded the Fed's stress requirements.

NYT pB7 "Dow htis 3rd new high helped by jobless report, AJC pA17 "Dow's streak lives on" by AP says the Dow pushed further into record territory after the gov said unemployment claims fell by 7,000 last week.

FT p22 "Buoyant jobless claims data help S&P 500 above 5 year recrod" by Arash Massoudi says US stocks were bolstered Thurs by better thane xpected labor market data that showed a decline in the nubmer of Americans claiming first time jobless benefits.  Bank of Ameica gained 2.9%.

IBD pB2 "Stocks post small gains; breakouts on thin side" by Paul Whitfield says stocks kept to a narrow range Thurs as the market awaited Fri's payroll & unemployment report as Thurs' action was up in reduced vol and the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's opening trailing P/E ratio is 15.69 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 15.62  (year ago it was 14.44); today's opening P/E estimate is 12.53 down  from Thursday' s P/E estimate of 13.68   (year ago it was 12.45) and today's opening dividend yield is 2.47 up from yesterday's opening dividend yield of 2.16 (last year it was 2.00). The Dow's all-time high was 14,329.49 on March7, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,865.93 up 4.33 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,861.60. 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 (0.130216081) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $7.68 change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $62.20 up 15 cents from Wednesday's average of $62.05. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.06 (DIS/UNH) up 7 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $54.99. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 made $433 ($186,593 - $185,607).

3/7/13 Thursday 4:23 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at another record high, as jobless claims fell to a six-week low, casting a positive spin on the labor front a day before the monthly employment report.
“The four-week moving average has come down significantly, from 335,000 to 348,000. And it correlates with the ADP number, which is usually a pretty good sign of where we are headed, so another piece of good news that could keep the train rolling,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. After finishing at a record high on Wednesday for a second day straight, the Dow industrials DJIA +0.23% on Thursday rose 33.25 points, or 0.2%, to 14,329.49, with the blue-chip index extending gains into a fifth session. Equities have been on a roll on improving housing-market data and growth in corporate earnings, along with support from the Federal Reserve’s continuing policy of monetary easing. The Dow is up 9.4% so far in 2013, and the S&P 500 is ahead 8.3% for the year. Michael Casey outlines three stocks to watch on Thursday, including Dell. Carl Icahn is pushing for a huge special dividend instead of a leveraged buyout by founder Michael Dell. Financials led sector gains and utilities fared most poorly among the 10 major sectors on the S&P 500 index SPX +0.18% , up 2.80 points, or 0.2%, to 1,544.26, leaving it 21 points from its record closing high set in October 2007.“Typically, the stock market moves up about 2% to 3% following a breakout to a new all-time high, then begins a modest correction,” Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos., wrote in emailed commentary. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP +0.30% advanced 9.72 points, or 0.3%, to 3,232.08. For every two stocks falling three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 708 million shares traded. Composite volume approached 3.6 billion. Ciena Corp. CIEN +17.34% gained 17% after the fiber-optic networking-equipment maker posted quarterly earnings that beat estimates; PetSmart Inc. /PETM -6.57% fell 6.6% after projecting earnings and sales growth below estimates, and Colgate-Palmolive Co. /CL +0.05% rose 0.1% after the seller of soap and household cleaners hiked its dividend and approving a 2-for-1 stock split. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude-oil futures for April delivery /CLJ3 +1.25% climbed $1.13, or 1.3%, to end at $91.56 a barrel and gold futures for April delivery GCJ3 +0.18% added 20 cents to $1,575.10 an ounce. The euro EURUSD +1.06% gained against other major currencies, including the U.S. dollar, after the European Central Bank held its benchmark rate at a record low and ECB President Mario Draghi said economic reports point to a stabilizing economy. The Bank of England stuck with its target for quantitative easing, while the Bank of Japan dismissed calls that it begin asset purchases. The Labor Department said initial applications for unemployment benefits unexpected declined by 7,000 to 340,000 last week, with the six-week average falling to its lowest level since March 2008. The better-than-expected illustration of an improving labor market comes a day ahead of the government’s monthly jobs report, with the unemployment rate at 7.9% in January. Another Labor Department report on Thursday had the productivity of American workers dropping in the fourth quarter as companies hired more and increased hours. And Commerce Department data had the trade deficit widening in January on increased demand for imported crude.
