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 Thursday at 11,134.29 up 9.37 or 0.08% from Wednesday's close of 11,124.92. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 17 gained and 13 declined.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 17.14 up from Wednesday's 17.13 (year ago it was 26.89) the P/E estimate is 14.00 unchanged from Wednesday's 14.00 (year ago it was 22.34) and the current dividend yield is 2.45 down from Wednesday's 2.46 (it was 3.92 a year ago).

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,473.28 up 1.24 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,472.04. This is the sum of all 30 closing prices.

Market Watch 4/22/10 4:08 p.m. by Nick Godt says U.S. stocks finished Thursday's session higher, as upbeat housing data led to a rally in the shares of home builders, and with the technology sector rebounding from early weakness ahead of results from online retailer Amazon.com (AMZN 139.72, -10.37, -6.91%) and software giant Microsoft Corp. (MSFT 30.36, -1.03, -3.28%) . The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 11,135, +9.68, +0.09%) finished up 9.37 points, or 0.1%, at 11,134.29.

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

A read of Thursday'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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,124.92 up 7.86 or 0.07% from Tuesday's close of 11,117.06. For the year the Dow is up 6.68%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 10 gained 20 and declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $74.16 +2.75 3.85% 11,926,038 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck MRK $34.74 -1.32 3.66% 31,445,239 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow Extends Streak to 3" by Peter McKay says blue chips edged modestly higher on Wed buoyed by encouraging 1Qtr earnings, but a retreat in health care stocks weighed on the broader market. Merck was the Dow's worst performer, falling 3.7% as investors grew concerned about how it might be affected by the overhaul of US health care, after Abbott Labs and Gilead Sciences cut their '10 guidance.

Fin Times p28 "Strong corp. earnings bolster flagging sentiment" by Masa Serdarevic says US stock markets put in a mixed performance yesterday as they see sawed around par mark, in spite of results from Apple that smashed analysts' expectations, with Morgan Stanley and Boeing also posting better than expected 1Qtr numbers.

NYT pB8 "A flatDay as a Few good Profit Reports Buoy Investors" by Christine Hauser says stocks were steady on Wed as a few positive earnings reports encuraged investors who were otherwise concerned about rising coss resulting from the health care overhaul and possible new regs on the fin'l industry.

USA Today p5B "good earnings news trumps Greece fears" y Bloomberg says stocks posted small gains Wed, sending the Dow Jones industrial average up for a 3rd session, as better than estimated earnings at Apple, Morgan Sanley and Boeing overshadowed concern Greece will default on its debt.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,472.04 up 1.04 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,471. 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 1.04 for Wednesday by the divisor you get the increase in Wednesday's Dow close of 7.86. 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 $49.07 up 0.04 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.03. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 44.67 down 0.04 from Tuesday's median closing price of $44.71. The lowest volume was NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $18. NYSE.

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 $130 ($147,210-147,090).

Market Watch 4/21/10 5:08 p.m. by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks edged higher Wednesday, helped by earnings at Apple Inc. and Boeing Co., while some health-care-sector results and a retreat among financial shares clipped gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 11,125, +7.64, +0.07%) closed up 7.86 points, or 0.1%, to 11,124.92, its third straight day of gains. Boeing Co. (BA 74.16, +2.75, +3.85%) and United Technologies Corp. (UTX 76.93, +2.73, +3.68%) led the blue-chip average higher, with advances of more than 3%, after both aerospace and defense companies released quarterly results. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,505, +4.30, +0.17%) ended 4.3 points, or 0.2%, higher at 2,504.61. Apple shares /quotes/comstock/15*!aapl/quotes/nls/aapl (AAPL 259.22, +14.63, +5.98%) rallied nearly 6%, the biggest one-day gain since May 2009, after earnings surged on iPhone sales.
But a drop in health care, financials and energy led the S&P 500 (SPX 1,206, -1.24, -0.10%) to a lower finish. That index of large-cap U.S. stocks ended 1.2 points, or 0.1%, lower at 1,205.94. Also weighing on stocks, Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK 34.76, +0.02, +0.06%) shares fell 3.7%, the worst performer on the Dow average. Off the Dow, Abbott Laboratories (ABT 51.78, -1.28, -2.41%) shares were off 2.4% after the health-care-products company reported a lower first-quarter profit. And Gilead Sciences shares (GILD 40.76, -4.31, -9.56%) dropped 9.6%, making it the worst S&P 500 performer, after the HIV-drug developer issued a weaker-than-expected 2010 financial forecast. Also weighing on the market, financials abandoned earlier attempts at gains. Moody's Corp. shares (MCO 25.69, -1.43, -5.27%) lost 5.3% after a congressional panel probing the financial crisis subpoenaed the credit-ratings agency for failing to comply with a request for information. Morgan Stanley (MS 31.51, -0.17, -0.54%) added 4% after the financial-services firm reported its swing to a first-quarter profit. Read more about Morgan Stanley's survival of the 2008 crisis. Shares of Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC 33.01, -0.68, -2.02%) lost 2%. Decliners led advancers by a slight margin on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.2 billion shares traded. Composite volume topped 5.9 billion. Energy stocks fell after the government reported an increase in weekly U.S. inventories, pushing oil to a lower close. The contract for June delivery finished 17 cents lower at $83.68 a barrel.
Greece on Wednesday began talks with its counterparts in the euro region, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank on what steps are needed for it to secure a $61 billion emergency aid package.
