Post No. 392. 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 Tuesday at 11,117.06 up 25.01 or 0.23% from Monday's close of 11,092.05. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was 3M MMM $85.27 +1.37 1.63% 5,685,585 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM $129.69 -2.54 1.92% 15,064,500 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, 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 17.24 up from Monday's 17.12 (year ago it was 26.26) the P/E estimate is 14.00 unchanged from Monday's 14.00 (year ago it was 22.34) and the current dividend yield is 2.46 down from Monday's 2.48 (it was 3.94 a year ago). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,471 up 3.31 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,467.69. 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 3.31 for Tuesday by the divisor you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow close of 25.01. 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 $49.03 up 0.11 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $48.92. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 44.71 down 0.86 from Monday's median closing price of $45.57. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $53.17 -0.02 0.04% 4,206,514 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $18.61 +0.22 1.2% 196,904,750 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 $330 ($147,090- $146,760 - $).

*************************
The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog.

A read of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 11,092.05 up 73.39 or 0.67% from Friday's close of 11,018.66. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 24 gained and 6 declined. For the year the Dow is up 6.67%. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $132.23 1.60 +1.22% 10,365,319 and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $39.37 +0.71 1.84% 7,922,676 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $70.96 -0.17 0.24% 4,191,997 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow Up 73.39 With Banks Back in Favor" by Peter McKay says fin'l stocks are in the market's driver seat for now. Citigroup soared 7% after reporting is strongest results in nearly 3 years. That came on the heels of similar reports last week from JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America.

WSJ pC5 "Citigroup Jumps 7%, But UAL Drops 5.1%" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks edged higher, recovering some of the Fri decline as strong earnngs from Citigroup and analysts' positive comments on DuPont and McDonalds encouraged investors. Alcoa kept the Dow's gains in check as it fell 1.4.

Fin Times p24 "Citigroup's upbeat results help limit Goldman fall out" by Masa Serdarevic says strong results from Citigroup helped US stocks higher yesterday.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks Stage Positive Reversal" by Paul Whitfield says Monday's action was mostly up in lower vol. The current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB8 "As Banking Shares Rise, Most Indexes Close Up" by Javier Hernandez says worries about the effect of gov. efforts to strengthen oversighof banks faded somewhat on Wall St. to help send indexes up.

USA Today p4b "Investors gain confidence, boost stocks" by Bloomberg says stocks erased losses Mon, gaining for the 7th session in the past 8, as investors continued to monitor the fraud charges levied at Goldman Sachs.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,467.69 up 9.71 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,457.98. 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 9.71 for Monday by the divisor you get the increase in Monday's Dow close of 73.39. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.92 up 0.32 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $48.60. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 45.57 up 0.28 from Friday's median closing price of $45.29. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.9 +0.14 0.17% 3,544,174 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $18.39 +0.02 0.11% 358,156,182 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 $960 ( $146,760 - $145,800).

Market Watch 4/19/10 5:01 p.m. by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed Monday with gains for several benchmark indexes, with Citigroup Inc. results and a turn higher in Goldman Sachs Group Inc. shares supporting the heavily-weighted financial sector.
After wavering between gains and losses for much of the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 11,092, +73.24, +0.67%) closed up 73.39 points, or 0.7%, to 11,092.05, with 24 of its 30 components rising. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,198, +5.39, +0.45%) ended 5.39 points, or 0.45%, higher at 1,197.52, with all sectors higher. The Wilshire 5000 also advanced, while the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,480, -1.15, -0.05%) came off the day's lows but notched a minor drop. For the S&P 500, a rebound in financial stocks and focus on earnings offset an earlier bout of worries over the impact of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Friday charges against Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS 164.26, +0.94, +0.58%) for fraud related to mortgage-debt trades. Citigroup C 4.91, +0.03, +0.62%) shares rose 7% after the bank reported profit more than doubled from the year-ago quarter as costs for bad loans declined. Financial stocks rose 1.1% on the S&P 500, matching gains in the telecommunications sector, to lead the index's 10 industry groups higher. Financial stocks represent the second-most heavily weighted sector for the index, after technology. Goldman (GS 164.26, +0.94, +0.58%) shares rose 1.6%, turning higher late in the trading day after Bloomberg News reported the Securities and Exchange Commission had voted along party lines in suing the company. Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. fall 1% Monday after dropping 13% in the previous trading session. The SEC charged Goldman with securities fraud on Friday, and over the weekend U.K.'s Gordon Brown said he was shocked by the "moral bankruptcy" of the investment bank.
The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,480, -1.15, -0.05%) declined 1.15 points, or 0.1%, to 2,480.11, with shares of smartphone maker Palm Inc. (PALM 4.92, -0.67, -11.99%) among those weighing on the market. Laboratory Corp. of America (LH 79.32, -0.01, -0.01%) and Coventry Health Care Inc. (CVH 24.35, -.00, -0.01%) were among health-care stocks rising with gains of 3.1% and 2.7, respectively. For every 13 stocks on the rise, about 17 were in decline on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.3 billion shares had changed hands. Besides further fall-out from the SEC case against Goldman, much of this week's investor focus will concern earnings. The first major U.S. manufacturer to report first-quarter results, Eli Lilly and Co. (LLY 36.58, -.00, -0.01%) , on Monday cut its 2010 earning outlook. Shares ended 0.1% higher.The major stock indexes had swung into positive territory after the Conference Board reported its index of leading economic indicators rose more than expected in March. Earlier, energy and material stocks fell after the nerves jangled by the SEC's move against Goldman sank commodities futures. Crude oil for June delivery lost 1.8% to $83.13 a barrel, while gold for June delivery slipped 0.1% to $1,135.8 an ounce. Shares in Goldman, a major commodities broker, had dropped 13% on Friday, their biggest fall in more than a year, after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against the bank and a vice president.
The Goldman news also offered a catalyst for investors to take profits after a nearly seven-week climb had left some looking for a reason to sell. Goldman dismissed as "unfounded" the SEC's contention that it sold securities tied to subprime mortgages without disclosing that hedge fund Paulson & Co. had helped select the underlying securities and then bet against them. The hedge-fund firm was not charged. On Capitol Hill, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said the government's case against one of Wall Street's most powerful firms bolstered the case for bank-reform legislation. International Business Machines Corp. (IBM 129.38, -2.85, -2.16%) and Zions Bancorp (ZION 26.10, +0.67, +2.64%) were scheduled to report results after the market close. IBM shares rose 1.2%.
