YOUR BLOGGER WILL BE IN SWITZERLAND FOR "THINK SWISS FINANCIAL STUDY TRIP" THE WEEK OF 11/9 - 11/13 so our regular aggregation will be modified somewhat. Today, Tuesday's Blog, is from Zurich where earlier today your primary blogger had the opportunity to share some of his thoughts about the Dow Jones 30 components with Swiss financial leaders courtesy of the Swiss Program "Presence Switzerland" a program of the Swiss Federal Dept. of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jan Liechti Patel, General Secretariat.

The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report.

Post #204 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Towards the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 CEO's, a ranking of the Dow 30 by market capitalization as of close of 11/6/09 and an update of the Dow 30's most recent SEC filings as of 11/6/09.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,226.97 up 20.03 or 0.2% from Monday's close of 10246.97. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 10 declined, 1 was unchanged (United Technologies) and 19 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $78.32 +0.66 0.85% 9,210,223 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $16.03 +0.26 1.65% 194,852,496 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $50.32 -1.03 2.01% 4,671,463 NYSE.

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 1355.87 up 2.75 from Monday's closing Dow numerator of 1353.12. 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 of 2.75 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow close 20.03.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 45.20 up 0.10 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $45.10. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.93 up $0.23 from Monday's Dow Jones median closing price of $41.70. The lowest volume Tuesday was 3M MMM $77.99 +0.79 1.02% 3,491,464 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of Am BAC BAC $16.03 +0.26 1.65% 194,852,496 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 $300.

The following appeared in Tues. morning's Blog

A read of the 11/10/09 print editions of: The European edition of the Financial Times, International Herald Tribune, & International Edition of 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 Monday's closing price and related data:

Dow: Fin Times p28 "Kraft formal move on Cadbury helps boost confidence" by Samantha says deal activity by firms from Kraft to Northrup buoyed Wall Street confidence yesterday lifting US stocks higher after last week's strong gains. Follwing an indicative offer 2 months ago, Kraft launched a formal hostile bid for Cadbury yesterday but at the same price. Comcast made progress in its bid to take over NBC Universal from GE as GE gained 3.%. A pledge by the G20 over the weekend to keep stimulus programs in place added to the market's optimism and boosted financial stocks. Bank of America was up 2.6%. Global sales figures from McDonald's sent shares in MCD up 1.4%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,226.94 up 203.52 or 2.03% from Friday's close of 10023.42. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 1 declined (Kraft) and 29 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $60 +2.40 4.17% 12,227,460 NYSE. The only decliner dollar-wise and, of course, percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $26.53 -0.25 0.93% 17,051,297 NYSE.

The current divisor for the Dow found at today's page C4 of The Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged where it is also noted that as of market open Tuesday the Dow's trailing P/E ratio is 17.00.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1353.12 up 26.83 from Monday's closing Dow numerator of 1326.29. 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 of 26.83 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the increase in Monday's Dow close 203.52.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 45.10 up 0.89 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $44.21. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.70 up $1.45 from Monday's Dow Jones median closing price of $40.25. The lowest volume Friday was United Technologies UTX $66.73 +1.66 2.55% 3,834,542 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of Am BAC BAC $15.77 +0.72 4.78% 169,708,018 $ 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 $2,670.
