Post No. 2,920 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 a summary of recent Dow 30 components'  SEC filings.

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

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed  Tuesday at 17687.82 up 40.07 or 0.23% from Monday's close of 17647.75. For the year the Dow is up 6.7%. Of the Dow components  20  gained and 10   declined. The biggest gainer   dollar-wise was Boeing up $2.24  and percentage-wise was UnitedHealth  up 1.78%.  The biggest decliner dollar-wise   was  IBM down $2.27 and percentage-wise was Home Depot down 2.09%.

WSJ pC4 "S&P 500 & the Dow hit new records by gains in health care shares.  Home Depot is charted under bad news due to its warning that costs could rise from its data breach.

FT p23 "Wall street" by Mamta Badkar, Eric Platt says the S&P was on track for its 43rd record close.  Home Depot said it could not estimate total costs related to a its data breach.

IbD pB5 "Indexes rise, snap out of sluggish trading mode" by Juan Crlos Arancibia says Tuesday's action saw indexes rise out of dull trading range as the current outlook is confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB12 "Helath sector leads a broad market advance" & AJC pA15 "Attention turns to holidays" by AP says the bulk of the earnings season is over & investors are looking ahead to how firms will do this holiday season.

As of the open of  the market on Wednesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of  Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.15571590501117.  Wednesday's trailing P/E   ratio is 16.76 down from Tuesday's   trailing P/E ratio of 16.77  (last year it was 16.40).  Wednesday's P/E estimate is 15.52 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 15.52 (year ago it was 15.02) and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.17 unchanged from  Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.17  (last year it was 2.06). The Dow's all-time high was 17687.82 on November 18,  2014. 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 numerator is 2754.27 up 6.23  from  Monday's   numerator of 2748.04.  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.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $91.81 up 21 cents from Monday's  average closing price of $91.60.  The median closing price of  Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $92.73  (AXP/XOM) down 3 cents from Monday's median closing price of $92.76 (DIS/XOM). The lowest volume was Travelers  and the highest volume was GE.

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 made  $623  ($275,427 - $274,804.

11/18/14 Tues. 4:37 MarketWatch by Anora Mahmudova & Barbara Kollmeyer says
After a five-day spell when the S&P 500 moved by less than 0.1% amid low volumes, Tuesday’s lively, trading action amounted to a relative rally for U.S. stocks. The benchmark S&P 500 SPX, +0.51%  rose 10.48 points, or 0.5% to close at an all-time high of 2,051.80, marking the 43rd time the index closed in record territory this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.23%  added 40 points, or 0.2%, to close at a record level of 17,687.82. The Dow has closed at record levels 26 times so far this year. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.67%  outperformed other benchmarks, gaining 31.44 points, or 0.7%, to 4,702.44.Upbeat housing data, as well as news of a snap election in Japan and better-than-expected data from Germany might have contributed to the micro-rally. But overall optimism is also supported by the fact that global central banks remain highly accommodative, providing liquidity and keeping key interest rates low. Fawad Razaqzada, technical analyst at FOREX.com, in emailed comments, wrote that investors’ insatiable appetite for equities is understandable to some degree because yields are universally so low. “Although the Federal Reserve has ended its quantitative easing program, some of the other major central banks have expanded theirs, or at least promised to do so if and when needed,” Razaqzada wrote. In economic news, a gauge of confidence among home builders rebounded this month, led by more optimism over present and upcoming sales of single-family homes, according to data released Tuesday.Separately, U.S. producer prices rose unexpectedly, in October, largely because of a spike in an erratic category that measures profit margins for wholesalers and retailers. Outside of the U.S., as expected, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced plans to call a snap election and to delay a planned sales-tax hike by 18 months, after data showed Monday the country fell into a recession. A survey from ZEW showed improved German sentiment on the economy — a sign the country’s fortunes may be turning around, the ZEW institute said.Running out of steam: The U.S. stock market remains on course to “run deep into bubble territory” before crashing, wrote Jeremy Grantham, co-founder and chief investment strategist of Grantham Mayo van Otterloo, in a quarterly newsletter released Monday. He said bubble territory starts at 2,250 on the S&P 500, roughly another 10% gain from here. Also see: A turning point for the S&P?Billionaire investor Carl Icahn told a Reuters conference on Monday that he’s also worried about a market selloff, though not for the next three to five years. Mislav Matejka, strategist at J.P. Morgan Cazenove, said in a note dated Monday it has switched to overweight on the eurozone and cut U.S. equity exposure to underweight. Among the reasons: The eurozone has underperformed sharply, and valuations are improving versus the U.S. Stocks to watch: Biotechnology stocks surged on Tuesday. Shares in Actavis Plc ACT, +8.74%  continued to rise, adding 8.7%, after the company on Monday said it will buy Allergan Inc. in deal that values the Botox maker at roughly $66 billion.Urban Outfitters Inc. URBN, -0.02%  slumped 6.6% after the company reported its third-quarter earnings fell to $47.1 million, or 35 cents a share.Home Depot Inc. HD, -2.09% HD, -2.09% HD, -2.09% shared fell 2.1%, after the company reaffirmed fiscal-year 2014 guidance and announced earnings per share of $1.15 in the third quarter. Gold jumps as dollar falls: The news from Japan’s Abe weighed on the dollar USDJPY, +0.19%  versus the yen, which sent gold GCZ4, +1.06%  prices higher by more than 1%.The Nikkei 225 index NIK, +2.18%  rebounded 2.2% ahead of the announcements from Japan’s Prime Minister. European stocks SXXP, +0.61%  and the euro EURUSD, +0.69%  rose after ZEW report. Oil prices CLZ4, -1.89%  were little changed.
