Post No. 382. 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 4/1/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's most recent SEC filings as of 4/1/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,123.11 up 103.69 or 0.94% from Tuesday's close of 11,019.42. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was J.P.Morgan Chase JPM $47.73 +1.86 4.05% 71,768,869 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck MRK $36.21 -0.49 1.34% 19,765,501 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 17.18 up from Tuesday's 17.16 (year ago it was 26.99) the P/E estimate is 14.00 unchanged from Tuesday's 14.00 (year ago it was 21.65) and the current dividend yield is 2.48 unchanged from Tuesday's 2.48 (it was 3.89 a year ago).

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,471.80 up 15.50 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,456.30. 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 15.50 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the increase in Monday's Dow close of 103.69. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.06 up 0.46 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $48.60. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 47.03 up $1.60 from Tuesday's median closing price of $45.43.

If Wednesday 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 $1,372 ($147,180-$145,808).

Market Watch 4/14/10 4:13 p.m. by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday rallied in the market's strongest performance in nearly six weeks as technology bellwether Intel Corp. (INTC 23.48, -0.04, -0.17%) and banking powerhouse J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 47.73, +1.82, +3.97%) offering convincing evidence of a strengthening recovery.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog.

A read of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today & Atlanta Journal & Constitution 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,019.42 up 13.45 or 0.12% from Monday's close of 11,005.97. For the year the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 5.67% Of the 30 Dow Companies: 17 gained and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $129.03 +0.67 0.52% 6,805,380 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $34.34 +0.86 2.57% 30,253,844 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $71.19 -0.73 1.02% 5,073,942 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $14.34 -0.23 1.58% 100,451,650 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow climbs 13.45 Points, Holding 11K" by Peter A. McKay says a continuing retreat in energy prices boosted consumer stocks, helping the market to a small gain. The Dow was led by a 2.6% gain in retail bellwether Home Depot. Dow gains were tempered by a 1.6% drop in Alcoa on the basis of its results late Mon, which marked the unofficial start of 1Qtr earnings season.

WSJ pC5 "Intel Rises by 1%, but Avon Falls" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks edged up for the 4th session in a row despie a disappointing 1qtr reprot from Aloca, as a drop in crude oil prices helped boost consumer discretionary firms such as Home Depot, while the tech sector gained on hopes fro strong earnings results from Intel.

Fin Times p26 "Investors shrug off Alcoa results as markets close ahead" by masa Serdarevic says US stocks closed higher yesterday as the market shurgged off Mon's disappointing results from Alcoa, as well as the worse than expected trade deficit figures which increased to $39.7 bil in Feb as imports grew faster than exports.

NYT pB10 "Trading Ends With a Modest Gain as Investors Digest Earnings Reports" by Javier Hernandez says Wall Street traders took in the first batch of quarterly earnings reports on Tues, but nobody seemed quite sure what to make of the numbers. Investors retreated at first as Alcoa, reported its 5th loss in 6 quarters sending stocks down sharply but as the session wore on, traders seemed to gain more confidence that certain sectors, like tech and manufacturing, were on the verge of robust results.

USA Today p4B "Dkow continues its trek above 11,000" by AP says the Dow extendedits push past 11,000 Tues after expectations grew that stronger corp. earnings would signal that a recovery is on track.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,458.08 up 1.78 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,456.30. 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 1.78 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the increase in Monday's Dow close of 13.45. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.60 up 0.06 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $48.54. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 45.43 up 0.09 from Monday's median closing price of $454.93. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.22 +0.20 0.38% 3,416,661 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $18.67 +0.01 0.05% 112,748,691 NYSE.

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 made $188 ($145,808 - $145,620).

Market Watch 4/13/10 4:25 p.m. by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Tuesday pushed tentatively higher for a fourth day of gains as investors looked past an earnings disappointment from Alcoa Inc. to results ahead in the technology and financial sectors. After a morning swoon, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 11,020, +13.53, +0.12%) climbed 13.45 points to 11,019.42, 11,033.25, with 15 of its 30 components finishing ahead. "While Alcoa could put some weight on the basic-material stocks, the more important earnings" are still to come, said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald, who pointed to upcoming reports from Intel Corp. (INTC 23.58, +0.81, +3.56%) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC 18.70, +0.03, +0.16%)
Intel's inventory levels will be among the data points checked, with the results likely to "set the tone for the rest of the technology sector," added Ali. Among the blue-chip gainers, Intel reports results after Tuesday's close, kicking off the earnings season for the technology sector. Railroad company CSX Corp. (CSX 53.89, +0.61, +1.15%) , another industry bellwether, is also scheduled to release results late Tuesday. Bank of America reports its quarterly earnings on Friday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,197, +0.82, +0.07%) rose 0.82 points to 1,197.3,with consumer discretionary and technology up the most among the S&P's 10 industry groups. Energy weighed, with the price of crude futures falling for a fifth day to end at $84.05 a barrel. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,466, +8.12, +0.33%) added 8.12 points, or 0.3%, to 2,465.99. Advancers edged just ahead of decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 1.1 billion shares traded hands. Composite volume topped 5.5 billion. Tuesday's economic data offered another illustration of an improving economy, with the Commerce Department reporting the nation's trade deficit widened in February as imports rose. The report offered evidence that consumer spending is on the rise.
