The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report.

A read of today's (Friday 6/19/09) print editions of: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, Investor's Business Daily, Financial Times and Atlanta Journal Constitution yielded the following stories about Dow Jones 30 component companies:

BA Boeing is the subject of a story at today's WSJ pB2 entitled "Dreamliner Still Far From Reality" that says the 787 maiden flight will occur by June 30, but BA is still under pressure to complete an ambitious schedule of test flights and government certifications.

Financial Times FT at p15 in a story entitled, "Bombardier under fire over new jet finance" said that BA Boeing and Airbus, the duopoly makers of big jets have joined forces to oppose plans by Canada's Bombardier to seek more liberal terms for export credit financing for its new range of short haul aircraft, mainly its CSeries range of 110 to 130 seat aircraft. BA objects to the categorization of these aircraft as regional jets rather than large aircraft under Economic Cooperation Development rules for export credit finance known as the aircraft sector udnerstanding.

At WSJ pB3 MSFT Microsoft is said to have voiced support for legislation that sets regulations for consumers' Internet privacy, although MSFT remains at odds with public interest groups about how proposed legislation to protect consumers' online information should be drafted.

MSFT in a story at pA4 of IBD Investor's Bus. Daily entitled, "Microsoft Set to Shell out for Search" saying MSFT will invest up to 10% of its operating income in its Internet search business for up to five years as its Bling search engine starts to gain ground with Web surfer. On a personal note, Bling competes with the Firefox browser that was coinvented by my nephew Blake Ross. A smilar story ran in today's USA Today a p1B.

T ATT is mentioned in a WSJ story at pB3 about the FCC reviewing exclusive deals that lock up hot cellphones such as T AT&T's multiyear deal to offer Apple Inc.'s iPhone. T AT&T is also mentioned at WSJ pB4 in a story about how smart phones such as the iPhone are being used as Internet modems for their computers, a function that many phone owners want but US mobile phone carriers have been reluctant to allow.

At WSJ pB4 a story entitled "Alcatel, H-P Agree to Ally" described HPQ Hewlett-Packard's agreement with Alcatel-Lucent for a 10 year partnership to develop and market communications and computing products, as both firms look for new areas of growth. MSFT Microsoft is also mentioned because last month HPQ and MSFT teamed up to offer software, heardware and services that combine phone, video and email functions, an offering that rivals a CSCO Cisco offering. A similar story is at todays IBD Investor's Business Daily at pA2.

At WSJ pB6 in a story about Smucker it is noted that Smucker bought PG Procter & Gamble's Folgers coffee business in November for $2.65 billion.

WSJ's lead story at pA1 says that dozens of companies such as Target and Harley-Davidson that aren't banks but sell loans and other financial products will be forced to register as bank holding companies under the new oversight bill which would put these "non banks" in the same category as JPM JP Morgan and BAC Bank of Am.

JPM and BAC are also mentioned at WSJ pC1 as leading yesterday's Dow financial components by each increasing by more than 4%. A related story at WSJ pC5 says that BAC and JPM helped the Dow break a three day losing streak yesterday. At WSJ pC2 it says that Merrill Lynch banker William Rifkin has defected to rival JPM where he will serve as vice chair of its mergers and acquisitions group. At WSJ pC3 there is a story about the different levels of oversight by the Fed that will be forthcoming under new legislation - BAC Bank of Am will be a Tier 1 financial holding company as would GE.

BAC Bank of America's Ken Lewis is mentioned at pA12 of WSJ as being one of the CEOs of bailed-out firms that flew to resorts on bank jets. His trip cost $5,300 and was in Dec. 2008 to Reynolds Plantation here in Georgia.

It was a BA Boeing 777 that the pilot who died in flight was commanding according to a story at WSJ A5.

BA Boeing is mentioned at NYTimes pB6 as having inked a $153 million order at the Paris Air Show with MC Aviation Partners, a leasing subsidiary of Mitsubishi for two 737-800s. This was reported in yesterday's Daily Blog.

CAT Caterpillar, which hasn't been in the news for a while, is mentioned at WSJ pB7 as losing 2.1% to $34.08 yesterday after it said retail sales of its machines had fallen at a faster pace in May which resulted in its shares being the biggest drag in yesterday's Dow performance. A similar statement was made about CAT at P4B of today's USA Today.

IBD at PA4 talks about INTC Inel's efforts to spread viral marketing.

IBD at pB1 has a story about square box stock market analysis which analyzes a pattern of trading for a stock that is shaped like a box. It profiles HD Home Depot as trading in this fashion in the early 1980's.

USA Today at P4B said health care companies helped yesterday's Dow specifically noting MRK Merck's increase of 3.65% to close at 25.65.

The most recent SEC filing by a Dow 30 company was yesterday's 6/18 8K filing by CAT Caterpillar that provided supplemental financial information regarding CAT's deliveries to users of its Machinery and Engines line of business which supplemented prior financial information filed with the SEC. Also on 6/18 JPM Morgan filed two free writing supplements regarding issuance of notes linked to their indices.

The Dow closed Thurday at 8555.6 up 58.42 or up .69%. Of the Dow 9 lost value and 21 gained.

The current divisor for the Dow found at today's page C4 of The Wall St. Jrnl is
.132319125 unchanged.

Thursday's Dow numerator was 1132.06 up. 7.77 from Wednesday's Dow numerator which was 1124.34. 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 increase of 7.77 in the Dow numerator by the divisor you get 58.42, the increase in Thursday's Dow.

The average closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones was 37.73 up .26 from Wednesday's average closing price of $37.47. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones is $32.08.

The highest closing price Thursday again was IBM at IBM $106.33 -0.67 down 0.63% with volue 6,206,856 NYSE and the lowest closing price Thursday again was AA Alcoa at AA $10.78 -0.29 down 2.76% volume of 40,021,831.

If Thursday morning before the market opened you had purchased $100 of each of the Dow 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have made $660 ($113,190 - $112,530).
