1/25/10 Mon. pm Dow Closes 10,196.86 up 23.88 or 0.23%

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

Post #260 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Towards the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 current CEOs, a ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of 1/13/10 and an update of the Dow 30component's most recent SEC filings as of 1/13/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,196.86 up 23.88 or 0.23% from Friday's close of 10,172.98. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 18 gained and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $55.14 +0.89 1.64% 9,777,205 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $20.32 +0.41 2.06% 71,231,559 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $37.79 -0.80 2.07% 17,587,506 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Jrnl is .132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 16.92 down from Friday morning's 17.42 (year ago it was 17.96) the P/E estimate is 13.30 down from Friday's 13.65 (year ago it was 9.87) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 up from Friday's 2.64 (it was 3.90 a year ago).

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,349.24 up 3.16 from Friday's closing Dow numerator of 1,346.08. 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 3.16 for Monday by the divisor you get the increase in Monday's Dow close of 23.88.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 44.97 up 0.10 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $44.87. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 38.99 up 0.16 from Friday's $38.83. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81.83 +0.35 0.43% 3,386,524 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of Am BAC $14.98 +0.08 0.54% 262,008,690 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 $300 (134,910 - $134,610).

A read of Monday's print editions of: The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, Atlanta Journal Constitution & (Ga.) Daily Report 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 Friday's closing price and related data.

Dow Jones: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,389.88 down 213.27 or 2.01% from Thursday's close of 10,389.88. Year to date the Dow Jones is down 2.45%.

NYT pB1 "Volatility and Politics Are Feeding Fears of a Market Correction" by Javier C. Hernandez says worries about the strength of the global recovery and proposals from DC to clamp down on banks have sent fresh jitters through financial markets, prompting chatter among traders that stocks could be poised for that rare but alarming phenomenon: a correction. Over 3 tense days last week, stocks tumbled nearly 5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted triple digit losses on Wed, Thurs, and Friday, ending the week at its lowest level since Nov.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,346.08 down 28.7 from Thursday's closing Dow numerator of 1,374.78. 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 28.7 for Friday by the divisor you get the decrease in Friday's Dow close of 216.9.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 44.87 down 0.96. from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $45.83. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 38.83 down 2.52 from Thursday's $41.35.

If Friday 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 $2,880 ($137,490 - $134,610).

Under international aircraft financing rules, nations are not allowed to offer subsidies to buyers of their own country's manufacturers. But there are ways to get around this by guaranteeing loans. These loans are regulated and have more favorable terms for smaller aircraft than for the more than 100 seaters made by Boeing and Airbus. Now Canada is trying to expand these rules for the larger aircraft and Boeing and Airbus who value their combined market at more than $3 trillion over the next 20 years are crying foul.
