6/12/13 Wed am Boeing Ups 20 Yr Jet Forecast

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,220  The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 curent CEOs, and a recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.


A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 15,122.02 down 116.57 or 0.76% from Monday's close of 15238.59. For the year the Dow is up15.40 %.  Of the Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth up 25 cents or 0.39%%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express down $1.76 or 2.25%.

WSJ pC4 "Central banks confound investors" by Jonathan Cheng says US stocks ended a seesaw session with broad declines as investor concerns over the limits of global central bank policy gtriggered a sharp rise in the Japanese yen and a reversal in the Treasury's market.  American Express fell $1.76 to weigh most heavily on the Dow.

IBD pB4 "Stocks slide in big trade; market outlook worsens" by Juan Carlos Arancibia says the major indexes fell sharply Tues worsening the market's already shaky outlook as Tuesday's action saw global sell off which spilled over to Wall St.  the current outlook is the market is in a correction.

FT p20 "Chief's unsolicited buyout offer proves fruitful for Dole shares" by Jason Abbruzzese says US indices joined overseas markets in a sell off that began after the Bank of Japan put a hold on the stimulus which caused concern whether the Fed will end its qe program and mixed US economic data weighed on US stocks.  Sony rose after it said its New PlayStation 4 video will a a price $100 less than Microsoft's Xbox One.  Microsoft was down 1.8%.

NYT pB4 "business picked up in April for wholesalers, US says" says US wholesalers increased their stockpiles in April & their sales rebounded from a big decline in Mar, positive signs for economic growth.

AJC pA11 "Choppy day ends with loss" says renewed concerns re cental banks easing off support wiped out the US stock market's gain for the month.

As of the open of the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of    Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.52 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16566 (last year it was 13.85); today's P/E estimate is 13.75 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.75 (year ago it was 11.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.41 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.39 (last year it was 2.68). The Dow's all-time high was 15,409.39 on May 28, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1969.13 down 15.22 from Monday's closing numerator of 1984.35. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $65.64 down 43 cents from Monday's average of $66.07. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.86 (DIS/UNH) up 15 cents from Monday's median closing price of $63.71. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 $1,522 ( $198,435 - $196,913).

Tuesday MarketWatch 4:42 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks declined sharply Tuesday after the Bank of Japan opted to hold its monetary policy steady, raising concerns that central banks will not provide additional economic stimulus.The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke “have introduced volatility into the market for the first time this year, and part of it has to do with when quantitative easing will start to taper, and that has caused a cascade of opinions as to when that will be and what that should mean for stocks,” said Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. Investors have been watching U.S. economic data closely for any clues as to when the Federal Reserve may begin to scale back its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases.
“It does feel like in the last couple of weeks, news has been affecting all markets, not just regional,” said Richard Slinn, an investment specialist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank in San Francisco.
“As [10-year Treasury] yields 10_YEAR-0.27% rise and as that volatility increases, we’ve been rotating,” Slinn says of investors swapping into varying asset classes.
On Tuesday, the 10-year Treasury yield traded at 2.183%. Along with Asian and European stocks, the dollar fell sharply against the Japanese yen USDJPY+0.11% after the Bank of Japan decided to stay put on its policies, dashing some hopes that the central bank would extend the duration on its ultra-low interest rates to banks. In the stock market, boring is often beautiful.Extending losses into a second session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.76% fell as much as 152 points before briefly turning positive, then finished with a 116.57-point, or 0.8%, loss at 15,122.02 with American Express Co. AXP-2.25% pacing declines that included all but three of its 30 components.The S&P 500 index SPX-1.02% dropped 16.68 points, or 1%, to 1,626.13, with the financial sector hardest hit among its 10 major industries. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-1.06% slid 36.82 points, or 1.1%, to 3,436.95. For every stock rising, half a dozen fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 689 million shares traded.Gold futures GCQ3-0.59% shed $9 to $1,377 an ounce and crude CLN3-0.90% fell 39 cents to $95.38 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Inventories at U.S. businesses climbed 0.2% in April to $504.8 billion, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Separately, the Labor Department said job openings at U.S. workplaces fell to 3.76 million in April from 3.88 million in March.Wall Street stocks finished Monday’s session little changed after Standard & Poor’s revised its U.S. credit-rating outlook to stable from negative. On Monday, the Dow finished down 9.53 points, or 0.06%, to 15,238.59, and the S&P 500 dipped 0.57 point to 1,642.81.In Tuesday trading, shares of Dole Food Co. DOLE+22.16% jumped 22% after David H. Murdock, the company’s chairman and CEO, made a bid for the rest of Dole. Murdock controls almost 40% of Dole Food, and the $12-per-share cash offer represents an 18% premium to Dole Food’s closing price on Monday of $10.20 per share.Shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc.LULU+0.03% tumbled 18% a day after the yoga-clothing retailer announced quarterly results and said its Chief Executive Christine Day will step down.Shares of Sprint Nextel Corp. S+2.37% rose 2.4% after SoftBank Corp. said it would raise its offer for Sprint to $21.6 billion from $20.1 billion.
