Post No. 3,220 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 current CEOs, and a  recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and a summary of recent Dow 30 components'  SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 18014.28 down 101.56 or 0.56%  from Thursday's close of 18115.84. For the week the Dow is up 115.44 or 0.64% from last Friday's close of 17,898.84.  Of the 30   Dow components  3 gained and 27 declined.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot up 58 cents or 0.52%.  The  biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Travelers down $2.02 or 1.99%.

As of the open of  the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of  Friday's  Wall St. Journal is 0.14985889030177.  Friday's trailing P/E   ratio is 17.30 up from Thursday's   trailing P/E ratio of  16.24 (last year it was 16.55).  Friday's P/E estimate is 16.12 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 16.12 (year ago it was 15.00) and  Friday's dividend yield is  2.52 up from Thursday's dividend yield of  2.32 (last year it was 2.16). The Dow's all-time high was 18312.39 on May 19,  2015. 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 numerator is 2699.60 down 15.22  from Thursday's average numerator of 2714.82.   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 (0.14985889030177) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.67  change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $89.99 down 50 cents  from Thursday's closing average of $90.49.  The median closing price of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.36 (XOM/CAT) down 10 cents  from Thursday's median closing price of $86.46 (XOM/CAT).  The lowest volume was Travelers  and the highest volume was Apple.

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 $1,522 ($271,482 - $269,960).

6/19/15 Fri. 4:42 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova,  Sara Sjolin & Barbara Kollmeyer says
U.S. stocks ended Friday deep in the red Friday as the persistent deadlock in Greek debt talks turned investors cautious heading into the weekend. A so-called quadruple-witching day - when options and futures for stocks and stock indexes expire simultaneously, may have contributed to the late-session selloff on Friday, according to analysts. Rallies during the week, however, helped main indexes record weekly gains. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.53%  finished down 11.25 points, or 0.5%, at 2,109.99, with all 10 of its main sectors closing lower. Utilities and financials lead losses. The main benchmark recorded a 0.8% gain over the week.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.55%  dropped 101.56 points, or 0.6%, to 18,014.28, but posted a modest 0.6% gain over the week. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.31%  ended down 15.95 points, or 0.3%, to 5,117.00, retreating from record highs set Thursday. The tech-heavy index clocked in a 1.3% gain over the week.Setting the stage for stocks Friday was the European Central Bank, which approved an emergency loan to Greece’s banking system nearly 24 hours after eurozone finance ministers failed to strike a deal with debt-laden Greece Thursday. Eurozone leaders will hold an emergency crisis summit Monday after finance leaders again failed to reach any kind of agreement between Greece and its creditors on Thursday. Channing Smith, portfolio manager at Capital Advisors, said the market rally over the past few days has been perplexing.“Big moves on Thursday were attributed to the Fed, however, the Fed has not changed its stance. And the fact markets are at these levels despite the complete failure to find a resolution to Greece’s debt problems, is baffling,” Smith said.“One of the suggestions is that the market expects more liquidity from central banks because of Greek problems. Though, today’s slight retreat is probably immaterial, but we will be watching if there is a selloff later in the afternoon,” Smith said.Stocks to watch: ConAgra Foods, Inc. CAG, +10.86%  shares surged 11% after Jana Partners LLC on Thursday disclosed a nearly 7.2% stake in the company and said it intends to use its influence to change the board of directors. FitBit Inc. FIT, +9.50%  shares jumped 9.5% on its second trading day, on top of 51% gain on Thursday.Other markets: The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.36% closed slightly higher. The Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, -6.42%  on Friday logged its worst week in more than seven years, as it fell into correction territory. The index closed down more than 6% as investors got spooked by selling that hit highflying Chinese startups this week. Elsewhere, markets gained, with a nearly 1% rise for the Nikkei 225 index NIK, +0.92%  
U.S. Treasuries rallied, sending the yield on the 10-year note, which moves inversely to prices, 7 basis points to 2.26%. The drop in yield suggests general nervousness among investors. Oil prices CLN5, -1.59%  slumped 1.4% to settle at $59.61 a barrel and declined slightly over the week. Gold prices GCQ5, -0.17%  settled 10 cents lower at $1,201.90 an ounce.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog:

A  read of the print editions of  Friday'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 Thursday's  closing   stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 18115.84 up 180.1 or 1%  from Wednesday's close of 17935.74. For the year the Dow is up 1.65%.  Of the 30   Dow components  all 30 gained.  The  biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was 3M up $2.67 or 1.7%.

USAT p1B "Nasdaq closes in record territory" by Matt Krantz, Jane Onyanga-Omara says  Thursday's market gains came after signs from the Fed on Wed that it may delay its first interest rate increase until Dec. 

IBD pB3 "Nasdaq scores new high as stocks rally after Fed" by Vincent Mao says Nasdaq hit a record high while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB9 "Relieved by Fed's signals, markets rise" by AP says the Fed suggested it was not planning to raise interest rates right away.  Ultralow rates over the past 6 years have helped drive a bull market.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average numerator is 2714.82 up 26.99  from Wednesday's average numerator of 2687.83.   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 (0.14985889030177) you get the change in today's Dow. A dollar increase or decrease in a Dow stock results in a $6.67  change in the Dow Index.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $90.49 up $1.05  from Wednesday's closing average of $89.44.  The median closing price of  Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $86.46 (XOM/CAT) up 83 cents  from Tuesday's median closing price of $85.63 (XOM/CAT).  The lowest volume was Travelers  and the highest volume was Apple.

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 $2,699 ($271,482 - $268,783).

6/18/15 Thurs. 4:33 pm MarketWatch by  Anora Mahmudova & Sara Sjolin says
U.S. stocks advanced sharply on Thursday, sending the Nasdaq Composite and the Russell 2000 to record highs, while the main indexes recorded their third consecutive day of gains. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.34%  gained 68.07 points, or 1.3% to 5,132.95, topping it previous record reached on May 19. The Russell 2000 RUT, +1.29%  rose 15.88 points, or 1.3% to 1,284.17, surpassing its record set April 15.The S&P 500 SPX, +0.99% rose 20.80 points, or 1%, to 2,121.24, closing less than 10 points below its all-time closing high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.00% jumped 180.10 points, or 1%, to 18,115. John Augustine, chief investment officer at the Huntington Trust, said he was surprised to see small-caps outperforming large-caps a day after the Fed downgraded the economic growth to 1.9%.“Small-cap action indicates that the market is questioning the Fed’s assertion that the economy is slowing down,” Augustine said.Investors continued to cheer what they perceived as a dovish tone set by the U.S. central bank and Chairwoman Janet Yellen following the conclusion of a two-day Fed policy meeting Wednesday. Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC, said investors are still digesting the Fed’s comments.“The Fed did not provide anything new on Wednesday, there is no greater clarity after the meeting than before. However, the dot-plot suggesting pace of [a rate] hike would be slower is taken as dovish,” Greenhaus said.Greenhaus noted he wasn't very enthusiastic about stocks, as valuations are high and overall global macro background isn't all that favorable. “There aren’t any compelling reasons to short the stock market either, which is why, perhaps the market moved sideways for the past 10 months,” he said.Data on Thursday showed another drop in weekly jobless claims but only modest inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing index rose to a reading of 15.2 in June, far above the forecast in a MarketWatch-complied economist poll. Movers and shakers: Rite Aid Corp. RAD, -3.59%  said it earned 2 cents a share in the first quarter, slightly missing analyst expectations. Shares slumped 3.5%.Shares of Oracle Corp. ORCL, -4.83%  slumped 8.6% after the software company late Wednesday reported a drop in fourth-quarter earnings. Fitbit Inc. FIT, +48.40%  jumped 51% to $30.14 as it began trading for the first time on the NYSE Thursday. Read: Five things to know about Fitbit before its IPO Other markets: The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.00%  dropped 0.3% to 94.01 on Thursday, around its lowest level since mid-May.
European stock markets closed higher ahead of a key meeting of eurozone finance ministers, where Greece is high on the agenda. Asian stock markets closed mostly lower. Weaker dollar boosted commodity prices. Gold GCQ5, -0.07%  rose 2.1% settling at $1,202 an ounce. Oil futures CLN5, +0.15%  settled higher, up 0.9%, at $60.45 a barrel.
