http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 2,550 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 as of January 27, 2014  and a summary of Dow 30 components'  recent SEC filings as of January 27, 2014.e Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 15738.79 down 189.77  or 1.19%  from Tuesday's close of 15928.56. Of the Dow components  5  gained  and  25 declined. The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was  DuPont up $1.14 or 1.91%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was Boeing down $7.31 or 5.33%.


A read of the print editions of  Saturday/Sunday's combined Wall St. Journal  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 closing stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 15698.85 down 149.76 or 0.94%  from Thursday's close of 15848.61. For the week the Dow was down 180.26 or  1.14%.  For the year the down 5.3%. Of the Dow components 5  gained  and  25 declined. The  biggest gainer dollar-wise  and percentage-wise was  Microsoft up 98 cents or 2.66%. The biggest decliner dollar-wise  was  Visa down $5.45 and percentage-wise was Chevron down 4.14%.


Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 2444.45 down 23.43  from  Thursday's closing numerator of 2467.88. 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 (0.15571590501117) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.42 change in the Dow Index.

WSJ pB1 "Dow fell by 5.3% as markets turned tough in January" by Tom Lauricella, Alexandra scaggs, Dan Strumpf says after last year's big rally in U.S. stocks, many invetors thought it would only be a matter of time before the amrket ran into a rockier stretch but few predecited a Jan as rough as the one just ended. 


As of the open of the market on Monday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of  Saturday's Wall St. Journal will be 0.15571590501117. Monday's trailing P/E ratio will be 15.09 (last year it was 15.37). Monday's P/E estimate was be 14.15  (year ago it was 12.54) and Friday's dividend yield will be 2.20 (last year it was 2.50). The Dow's all-time high was 16,576.66 on December 31, 2013. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.


The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $81.48 down 78 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $82.26. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $75.77     (WMT/HD) down 7 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $75.84    (WMT/HD). The lowest volume was United Technologies and the highest volume was Microsoft.

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 lost $2,343    ($246,788 - $244,445).

The following are excerpts from Friday's Blog:

1/31/14 Fri 5:37 pm MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova says US stocks  ended the week and the month with deep losses following a selloff on Friday, which was prompted by disappointing earnings, renewed fears over deflation in the euro zone and a continuing rout in emerging markets. Disappointing earnings from Amazon.com Inc. and Mattel Inc. set the downbeat tone early in the session. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished January with the steepest monthly declines since May 2012.Investors found no solace from U.S. consumer spending data, which showed Americans spent more in December, but their incomes stagnated.The S&P 500  ended the session 11.60 points, or 0.7%, at 1,782.59, and recorded its third weekly decline in a row. The benchmark index lost 0.4% over the week and 3.6% over the month.The Dow Jones Industrial Average  closed 149.76 points, or 0.9%, lower at 15,698.85. The blue-chip index, which suffered six triple-digit losses this month, ended the week 1.9% lower and recorded a 5.2% decline for January.
The Nasdaq Composite  lost 19.25 points, or 0.5%, to 4,103.88. The tech-heavy index is down 0.6% over the week, its second-straight week of declines and 1.7% lower over the month. Read the recap of our stock market live blog.Stocks endured heavy selling in most of the sessions this week, as sharp drops in emerging-markets currencies prompted nervous investors to flee riskier assets including stocks and lock in profits from a spectacular year.“We can blame the recent pullback on the emerging markets or capital flows, but at the end of the day, it was going to happen anyway because markets rallied a bit too much at the end of last year,” says Jim Russell, senior equity strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management.“We would consider this as a buying opportunity. The jury is out on whether stocks will have a bigger correction, but for longer-term our outlook is positive,” he added.
A batch of disappointing earnings before Friday’s opening bell weighed on stocks.Shares of Mattel slid 12% after the toy maker reported a surprise fall in fourth-quarter sales due to sharp declines in core brands such as Barbie and Fisher-Price.Wal-Mart Stores Inc  shares closed mostly flat even as the world’s largest retailer cut its fourth-quarter earnings forecast. Wal-Mart warned the sales impact from the reduction in the U.S. government food stamps was greater than expected.
Amazon.com dropped 11% after sales came in just shy of estimates in its fourth-quarter earnings report released after the close on Thursday.Chevron  shares fell 4.1% as the oil company reported lower profit and revenues than expected.MasterCard Inc.   shares slid 5.1% after the credit-card company missed Wall Street’s expectations for its fourth-quarter profits.One of the bright spots in the market was Zynga. Shares surged 23.6% after the games maker said it would cut its head count and buy NaturalMotion, a mobile videogame company, as it announced results late Thursday.In economic news, data were fairly mixed. Consumer spending rose sharply in December for the second month in a row, but Americans had to dip into their savings to pay for their purchases. The incomes of Americans, however, were unchanged in December and they fell after adjusting for taxes and inflation. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a smaller gain in spending but a slight rise in income.Consumer sentiment, however, declined in January, as weak jobs growth continuing to weigh on consumers, according to Friday reports on a gauge from the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters.The Chicago PMI fell in January to a still-strong 59.6 from 60.8 in December, but employment weakened for the second straight month. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected the index, formally known the Chicago business barometer, to decline to 59.8. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.In other markets, 10-year Treasurys extended a rally, oil fell while gold inched higher and the dollar held on to recent gains. European stocks fell. In Asia, Japanese stocks eased.
