7/713 Sun/Sat Boeing 777-200 in Crash

http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,263  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 recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.

A read of the print editions of  Monday's  Barron's &  Investor's Business Daily; the combined Sat/Sun editions of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times; Sunday's & Saturday's  New York Times &      Atlanta Journal & amp; Constitution  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 Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average:  The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 15135.84 up 147.29 or 0.98% from Wednesday's close of 14988.55. For the week the Dow was up 226.24  or 1.52% from last Friday's close of 14909.60.  For the year the Dow is up 15.5%. Of the Dow components  27 gained  and 3  declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M up $2.09  and percentage-wise was American Express up 2.32 % . The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's down 49 cents or 0.49%.

IBD pB8 "Stocks quiet but be alert: July rally wouldn't be first" by Paul Whitfield  says stocks trotted higher Fri in a quiet post holiday session as the current outlook is the market is in correction.

Sat. NYT pA1 "Steady growth as US gains 195,000 jobs" by Nelson D. Schwartz says new jobs data on Fri offered hope for this elusive middle ground int he economy as the Fed wrestles with when to ease its stimulus efforts.

Sat. WSJ pB1 "Dow ends the week on a high" by Matt Wirz, Min Zeng, Chris Dieterich says investors bid up shares due to an upbeat employment report.  Bonds suffered broad losses as signs fo a strengthening labor market fed fears the Fed could soon scale back its debt purchases.

As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B5   of  Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.130216081. Friday's closing  trailing P/E ratio was 16.54 up from Friday's     opening trailing P/E ratio of 16.28 (last year it was 14.07); Friday's closing P/E estimate was 13.42 unchanged   from Friday's  opening P/E estimate of 13.42  (year ago it was 12.15) and Friday's  closing dividend yield was 2.42 down   from Friday's opening  dividend yield of 2.47 (last year it was 2.62). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1970.93 up 20.02 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1950.91. 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   Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $65.70 up 67 cents from Wednesday's average of $65.03.  The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $65   (DIS/UNH) up 42 cents from Wednesday's median closing price of $64.58. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Friday 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  $2,002 ( $197,093 -   $195,091).

Friday MarketWatch 4:12 by   Victor Reklaitis says U.S. stocks with strong gains Friday after a choppy session, helped by a stronger-than-expected jobs report. The S&P 500SPX +1.02% rose 16.48 points, or 1%, to 1631.89, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.98% added 147.29 points, or 1%, to 15,135.84. The Nasdaq CompositeCOMP +1.04% advanced 35.71 points, or 1%, to 3,479.38. The main indexes rallied into the close and finished near session highs, shaking off mid-morning weakness that put them in negative territory briefly. For the week, the Dow rose 1.5%, the S&P 500 added 1.6% and the Nasdaq gained 2.2%.
