Post #228 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 10433.71 down 17.24 or 0.16% from Monday's close of 10,450.95. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 19 declined and 11 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Verizon VZ $31.87 +0.54 1.72% 25,883,692 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ 50.19 -0.83 1.63% 17,212,089 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase 42.48 -0.80 1.85% 31,524,799 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow found at page C4 of The Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 17.87down from Friday's 17.90 (year ago it was 16.85) the P/E estimate is 16.04 up from Friday's 15.82 (year ago it was 8.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.70 up from Friday's 2.69 (it was 4.03 a year ago).

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1380.58 down 2.28from Monday's closing Dow numerator of 1382.86. 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 decrease of 2.28 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow close of 17.24.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 46.02 down 0.08 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $46.10.

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) and sold at the close you would have lost $240 ($138,300 - $138,060).

HP, based in Palo Alto, Calif., reported income for the period ended 10/31 of $2.4 bil or 99 cents a share, up from 42.1 bil or 84 cents a share int he year earlier period.
