Post #249 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 11/30/09 and an update of the Dow 30's most recent SEC filings as of 11/30/09.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,390.11 up 1.21 or 0.01% from Friday's close of 10,388.14. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 16 gained, 1, Merck, was unchanged and 13 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $57.56 -0.74 1.27% 6,797,304 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $15.89 -0.39 2.4% 287,657,435 NYSE. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was WalMart WMT $54.93 +0.69 1.27% 11,305,235 NYSE and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $55.82 +1.14 2.08% 4,904,341 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 18.02 up from Fri. morning's 17.98 (year ago it was 18.03) the P/E estimate is 16.05 down from Fri.'s 16.17 (year ago it was 9.93) and the current dividend yield is 2.67 unchanged from Fri. morning's 2.67 (it was 3.63 a year ago).

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1374.81 up 0.26 from Friday's closing Dow numerator of 1374.55. 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 0.26 for Monday by the divisor you get the increase in Monday's Dow close of 1.21.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 45.83 down 0.01 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $45.82. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.33 down 0.21 from Friday's $40.54. The lowest volume Monday was again 3M MMM $77.91 -0.33 0.42% 3,025,724 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of Am BAC $15.89 -0.39 2.4% 287,657,435 NYSE.

If Monday 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 made $21 ($137,481 - $137,460).
