Post #231 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 1/4/10 and an update of the Dow 30's most recent SEC filings as of 1/4/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 10,606.86 up 33.18 or 0.31% from Wednesday's close of 10,573.68. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 17 gained and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $62.2 +2.42 4.05% 13,729,977 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $63.99 -0.46 0.71% 10,823,464 NYSE and percentage-wise Alcoa was AA $16.61 -0.36 2.12% 38,365,004 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 18.34 unchanged from Tuesday's 18.34 (year ago it was 18.81) the P/E estimate is 16.40 unchanged from Tuesday's 16.40 (year ago it was 10.62) and the current dividend yield is 2.59 unchanged from Tuesday's 2.59 (it was 3.58 a year ago).

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1403.49 up 4.39from Wedneday's closing Dow numerator of 1399.10. 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 4.39 for Thursday by the divisor you get the increase in Thursday's Dow close of 33.18.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 46.78 up 0.14 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $46.64. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 43.39 up 0.53 from Wednesday's $42.86. The lowest volume United Technologies UTX $70.49 +0.30 0.43% 4,254,365 was NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of Am BAC $16.93 +0.54 3.29% 318,488,406 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $420 ($140,340 - $139,920).
