4/18/13 Thurs. am Bank of America's Results Dissappoint; AXP's Don't

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,148  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 April 1, 2013 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of April 1, 2013.


A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution &amp 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 14,618.59 down 138.19 or 0.94% from Tuesday's close of 14,756.78. For the year the Dow is up 11.56 %. Of the Dow components 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson up 69 cents or 0.83%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron down $2.11 or 4.48%.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks ping back to losses" by Jonathan Cheng says investors struggled through a 3rd straight day of volatility as weak economic data from Europe & disappointing earnings reports in the US prompted a pullback in stock, the euro & oil prices.Bank fo America fell 58 cents & is charted under Bad news as it missed expectations with losses widening in the consumer real estate div.  JP Morgan fell $1.70.  Hewlett-Packard and Cisco fell 2.6% & 2.5% respectively.

USAT p1B "Stocks' strain shows in tech's pain" by matt Krantz says major cracks in tech stocks including a further crash in Apple, are turning into the first points of pain for investors wondering how much trouble the market is in.

IBD pB2 "Nasdaq index slides 1.8%; market back in correction" by David Saito-Chung says the stock market tumbled Wed & vol rose as a new batch of disappointing quarterly reports bothered investors.  The 4 biggest coponents of Nasdaq, Apple, Google, Microsoft & Oracle, fell 1.8%.  Wednesday's action saw sharp losses in higher vol as the current outlook is the market is now in a correction.

FT p24 "Bank of America disappointment fuels broad declines fro fin'ls" by Arash massoudi says US stocks fell Wed as Bank of America reported results that fell short of analysts' forecasts.  JPMorgan fell 1.7%.

NYT pB6 "Apple & Bank of America lead market downturn" by Reuters says the stock market fell in a broad sell off Wed led by a drop in Apple on worries about slowing demand for its products.  Bank of America fell after disappointing results.

AJC pA11 "Apple dips to one year low as investors show caution" by Peter Svensson, AP says the Dow is down 1.7% this week after hitting all time high.

As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.21 up from yesterday's P/E ratio of 15.02   (year ago it was 14.58); today's P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Wednesday' s P/E estimate of 13.15 (year ago it was 12.45) and today's dividend yield is 2.44 up    from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.42 (last year it was 2.51). The Dow's all-time high was 14,865.14 on April 11, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,903.58 down 17.99 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,921.57. 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 (0.130216081) 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.45 down 60 cents unchanged from Tuesday's average of $64.05. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $61.33 (DIS/UNH) down 45 cent from Tuesday's median closing price of $61.78. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Wednesday 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 $1,799 ($192,157 - $190,358).

4/17/13 Wednesday 4:02 pm MarketWatch by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply on Wednesday to reclaim much of the prior day's advance, with sentiment hit by disappointing company results and an Apple Inc. AAPL -5.50%supplier's tepid outlook. "The amazing thing is how bipolar this market has become. Just look at the last three days, first we had liquidation day Monday, with all asset classes sold, then the rally, and now we're giving back yesterday's gains," said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. "We may have 60% of companies beating numbers because expectations are so low. And Apple is down not because of earnings but because of someone else's earnings," he added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.94%fell 138.19 points to 14,618.59. The S&P 500 SPX -1.43%lost 22.56 points to 1,552.01. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.84%shed 59.96 points to 3,204.67.
