Post #97 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. Towards the end of this Blog is an update of the Dow 30's most recent SEC filings.

A read of Wednesday's 9/9/09 print editions of: Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investors Business Daily, New York Times, Atl Journal Const, & USA Today 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 symbol and Thursday's closing price and related data:

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 9497.34 up 56.07 or 0.59% from Friday's close of 941.27. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 23 gained and 7 declined with the biggest loser being Kraft KFT $26.45 -1.65 5.87% 43,122,827 NYSE and the biggest gainer being Chevron CVX $70.48 +1.52 2.2% 9,657,179 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Large Stock Focus - Alcoa, GE, Chevron Pace Forward March" says stocks began the unofficial start to autumn just as they did this summer, with Alcoa, Chevron and GE at the forefront of a rally in energy, commodities and industrial companies. Kraft fell 1.65 due to Cadbury's rejection of its offer.

Fin Times p22 "Wall Street - Investors take heart from latest flurry of M&A activity" by Samantha Pearson says US stocks climbed higher for the third day yesterday after rising commodity prices and renewed merger and acquisition activity bolstered investor confidence. It notes that ExxonMobil rose 2.1%, the industrials index was buoyed by GE, & that Kraft, the biggest food group in the US fell 5.9% after its bid for Cadbury was rejected, IBM was downgraded and lost 0.3% even though the group said it was well ahead of its plan of achieving earnings per share of $10 to $11 for 2010.

USA Today p4B "Markets Tuesday - Optimism lifts stocks for 3rd session" says that stocks rallied a third-straight trading day Tuesday as rising commodities prices and stirrings of corporate takeovers fanned optimism about the economy and notes that Alcoa rose 0.42. The current divisor for the Dow found at today's page C4 of The Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1256.68 up 7.42 from Friday's closing Dow numerator of 1249.26. 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 increase for today of 7.42 by the divisor you get 56.07, the increase in Tuesday's Dow close.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 41.89 up 0.25 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of 41.64. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 38.02 up 0.47 from Friday's Dow Jones median closing price of 37.55. The highest closing price Tuesday again was IBM $117.16 0.30 0.26% 5,792,308 NYSE and the lowest closing price Tuesday again was Alcoa AA $12.6 +0.42 3.45% 23,569,560 NYSE. The lowest volume Tuesday again was MMM $71.69 0.34 0.48% 3,368,557 NYSE and the highest volume again was BAC $17.02 0.07 0.41% 161,988,626 NYSE. If Tuesday morning before the market opened you had purchased $100 of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have made $750
($125,670 - $124,920)

This could be a months long saga.

Related story WSJ pC18 'Hershey Challenge to Kraft Offer Looks Like a Tall Order" says if Kraft gets Cadbury Hershey Hershey drops further behind among its candy competitors. Now Hershey is 4th in terms of market cap at 8.9 bil behind Nestle at 149.9 bil, Kraft 43.7 and Cadbury 17.5.

Related story at WSJ pB1 "Factory Town Roots for Kraft in Candy Battle" by Cecilie Rohwedder and Neil Shah" says that across small towns in England a "Save Cadbury's" campaign is thriving but not in Keynsham, England where Cadbury has announced it plans to close in 2010 and move the jobs to Poland. Kraft says it would keep the factory open.

WSJ pB2 devotes pB2 to "Kraft's Pursuit of Cadbury" with the following stories: "Sweet Scent Draws In Wasserstein" by Jeffrey McCracken and Dana Cimilluca that says Bruce Wasserstein ceo of Lazard Ltd. is the lead adviser to Kraft. Also, "Nestle, Hershey Face Risk of Fresh Perils" by Julie Jargon & Deborah Ball that says Kraft's bid for Cadbury could put Nestle and Hershey in a bad spot because Hershey needs the type of global reach Kraft would now have. Kraft would have its biggest impact by consolidating the chocolate industry in Western Europe. This would hit Nestle hard in markets where it is weak.

But a story at NYT B2 "More tough Love, A Bit Less Candy" says Kraft shareholders have suffered under her and she needs to cut more costs at the same time she buys Cadbury.

Fin Times p8 editoral "Chocolate wars - Kraft's bid for Cadbury is a welcome return to normalcy" says that Cadbury is a British instution and the writer says it is surprising that there have been so few howls of protest at the possibility that after Jaguar and Pilkington, another iconic Bitish brand may be bought by a foreign company. How refreshing, too, it says.

Related story at Fin Times p12 "Getting Krafty" says Kraft needs to pay more to win the golden ticket to Cadbury's chocolate factors. Also, "Cadbury's suitors" says as a trophy brand, Cadbury should have many suitors but llok closer and the field narrows. Mars is still in hock after buying Wrigley, PepsiCo is an outside prospect and Nestle and Hershey couldn't bid alone but they might team up.
