Post No. 2,223 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.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 15176.08 up 180.85 or 1.21% from Wednesday's close of 14995.23. Of the Dow components 29 gained and only DuPont declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $2.57 and percentage-wise was Caterpillar up 2.32%. The only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont down 35 cents or 0.65%.
As of the open of the market on Thursday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 16.38 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 16.52 (last year it was 13.74); today's P/E estimate is 13.75 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 13.75 (year ago it was 11.75) and today's dividend yield is 2.43 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.41 (last year it was 2.69). 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.
Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1976.17 up 23.55 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1952.62. 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 $65.87 up 78 cents from Wednesday's average of $65.09. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $64.22 (DIS/UNH) up 69 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $63.43. 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 $2,355 ( $197,617 - $195,262).
Thursday MarketWatch 4:46 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied on Thursday, with the S&P 500 index
marking its best day in five months, bolstered by upbeat economic data
and a late-session report in The Wall Street Journal that eased worries
about the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.
Thursday's Dow Closing Numbers:
***********
The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog:
U.S. stock indexes were already surging as positive economic reports
overrode concern about the Japanese market, but rose to session highs in
the wake of the Journal piece. “There’s a Wall Street Journal report about the Fed not likely to do
anything at this meeting,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist
at BTIG LLC. A story
written by Journal reporter Jon Hilsenrath, considered an influential
voice on central-bank policy, said that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke would likely reiterate the Fed expects a “considerable” amount
of time to pass between ending the central bank’s bond-buying program
and raising short-term rates. The Federal Open Market Committee will
issue a monetary-policy decision next week.Tallying its best session since Jan. 2, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index
SPX
+1.48%
rose 23.84 points, or 1.5%, to 1,636.36, with financials pacing gains that included all of its 10 major industry sectors.“We had a decent jobless-claims number and retail sales were pretty
solid,” said Matt Kaufler, portfolio manager at Federated Investors.
“Both are very encouraging signs of the ongoing mending of the U.S.
economy, which helped negate concerns about what happened in Japan
overnight.”The Labor Department said applications for unemployment benefits fell by
12,000 to 334,000 last week. The four-week moving average declined to
345,250 last week from 352,500. Separate numbers from the Commerce
Department had retail sales climbing 0.6% in May, the largest jump in three months, and coming after a 0.1% rise in April.After another drop in the Nikkei, have the central banks stopped

rose as much as 207, and finished at 15,176.08, up 180.85 points, or

streak this year, Thursday’s gains cut the Dow’s weekly losses down to
0.5%.A day after boosting its quarterly dividend by 8 cents to 60 cents a

, as investors rattled by stocks sinking in Japan unwound bets that Japan’s currency would soften.“It appears that the global markets are feeling the reaction of global
traders suddenly trying to unwind global carry-trade positions in light
of the fact that the currency used to put on the trade, the yen, has
suddenly moved up to a 10-week high versus the dollar,” Fred Dickson,
chief investment strategist at Davidson Companies, said in emailed
comments.The direction of Fed policy, and specifically when the central bank may
scale back its bond purchases, has been a primary concern for investors
in recent weeks.“The market’s in a bit of a tug of war in that you have this fear on any
given day of the new buzz word, or tapering, by the Fed, and will the
market be able to ride without training wheels, if you will, or the
assistance of the Fed,” said Kaufler.And then there’s “spillover concern from the Nikkei, fueled by their own
monetary policy,” added Kaufler of Japan, where the Nikkei Stock

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog:
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 & 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 14995.23 down 126.79 or 0.84% from Tuesday's close of 15122.02. For the year the Dow is up 14.43%. Of the Dow components 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard up 72 and a half cents or 2.99%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM down $2.73 and percentage-wise was American Express down 2.26%.
WSJ pC1 "For Dow, 3 isn't a charm" by Alexandra Scaggs says the Dow posted its first 3 day string of losses this year.
IBD pB2 "Market internals worsen as key indexes flop lower" by David Saito-Chung says Wed's action saw a broad decline in mixed volu as the current outlook is the market is in a correction.
USAT p1B "The Dow's like Elvis: gyrating" by Adam Shell says the Dow has seen price swings of 100 points or more in 15 of the past 16 sessions.
Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1952.62 down 16.51 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1969.13. 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 $65.09 down 55 cents from Tuesday's average of $65.64. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $63.43 (DIS/UNH) down 43 cents from Tuesday's median closing price of $63.86. 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 $1,651 ( $196,913 - $195,262).
Wednesday MarketWatch 4:18 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks tumbled on Wednesday, with the Dow industrials falling for three consecutive days for the first time this year, as the Japanese yen furthered its rise and doubts about monetary policy had investors on edge. “The markets are very much tying off of the Japanese currency and also again, Fed policy, which hasn’t changed, and we don’t think is likely to change this year. But the comments from the various Fed governors are acting as trial balloons,” said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners. “They are getting a sense of the market’s reaction without actually changing policy,” he added. The Federal Open Market Committee will hold a two-day meeting next week. After a 119-point opening leap, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.84% fell as much as 140 points and ended at 14,995.23, a loss of 126.79 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 SPX -0.84% lost 13.61 points, or 0.8%, to 1,612.52, with consumer discretionary pacing losses that extended to all 10 of its major industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.06% fell 36.52 points, or 1.1%, to 3,400.43. For each stock rising, more than four fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 686 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.2 billion. Volatility’s return to Wall Street can be traced to May 22, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank could cut back on its monetary stimulus if the labor market shows “sustainable improvement.” “We literally spent the entire year without having three down days in a row, just grinding higher, and we never had more than a 3% decline up until May 22,” Art Hogan, market strategist at Lazard Capital Markets, said in a telephone interview late Tuesday. “The FOMC and Ben Bernanke have introduced volatility into the market for the first time this year, so the introduction of volatility seems extreme to us, but that’s only because we spent the first five months without it,” Hogan said. Dearborn Partners’ Nolte agreed, saying: “It seems more volatile only because of where we’ve been. It is a return to more normal volatility.” “The concern over Armageddon is way overblown. I don’t see it as anything more than a correction; it doesn’t mean you rearrange your entire portfolio,” Nolte added. The Fed’s monetary easing and better-than-anticipated corporate results have fed a bull market now in a fifth year, pushing the S&P 500 up 139% from a 12-year low in 2009. On Wednesday, the U.S. dollar fell against the Japanese yen USDJPY +0.0412% , which on Tuesday rose the most against the greenback in three years. One day after reaching a 14-month high, the yield on the 10-year Treasury Note 10_YEAR +2.19% used in determining mortgage rates and other consumer loans rose to 2.238%. “Global credit markets are calmer after a tumultuous selloff the past month, sending yields materially higher, but still very low compared with historical averages and where most rates were last year,” wrote Nick Raich, CEO at the Earnings Scout. “Despite, or maybe because of, the recent sharp rise in 30-year-mortgage rates to 4.15%, mortgage applications in the U.S. were up 16% last week after four weeks of terrible numbers,” Raich added. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, the cost of crude rose, with oil futures /quotes/zigman/2291778 CLN3 +0.49% up 50 cents at $95.88 a barrel, while gold futures /quotes/zigman/6585799 GCQ3 +0.86% added $15 to finish at $1,392 an ounce. In deal news Wednesday, India’s Apollo Tyres Ltd. is acquiring Ohio’s Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.CTB +41.12% in a $2.5 billion transaction. Shares of Cooper Tire rallied 41%. U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday after the Bank of Japan kept its monetary policy steady, increasing fears that global central banks won't maintain their monetary easing. Unease as to when and by how much the Fed would taper its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases means the market’s recent return to volatility will persist until the Fed’s tapering plan becomes clear. The Nikkei Stock Average JP:NIK-0.21% shook off a sharper initial drop to close down 0.2% on Wednesday to 13,289.32. In Europe, stocks ended lower Wednesday. On Thursday, the economic calendar includes government reports on initial jobless claims for last week, along with retail sales for May.
