Post No. 372. 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 Thursday at 10,927.07 up 29.55 or 0.27% from Wednesday's close of 10,897.52. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $43.7 +1.33 3.14% 9,373,959 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM $127.67 -0.81 0.63% 5,320,775 NYSE.

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 16.99 downn from Wednesday morning's 17.10 (year ago it was 26.71) the P/E estimate is 14.00 unchanged from Wedneday's 14.00 (year ago it was 21.06) and the current dividend yield is 2.50 up from Wednesday's 2.49 (it was 3.96 a year ago).

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,445.86 up 4.01 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,441.85. 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 4.01 for Thursday by the divisor you get the increase in Thursday's Dow close of 29.55. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.20 up 0.14 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $48.068. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 44.74 down 0.08 from Wednesday's median closing price of $44.82. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $73.7 -0.29 0.39% 3,286,564 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $18.7 +0.08 0.43% 154,870,547 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 ($144,600 - $144,180).

Market Watch 4/8/10 4:32 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks reversed course to tally modest gains Thursday as upbeat sales results from retailers helped offset worries about Greece's debt troubles. After starting and remaining lower through the morning, the major indexes recouped their losses to end higher, with consumer discretionary shares leading the way. The Dow Jones Industrial Average layed (INDU 10,927, +29.62, +0.27%) rose 29.55 points, or 0.3%, to 10,927.07, with 20 of its 30 components tallying gains. American Express Co. (AXP 43.70, +0.01, +0.02%) advanced the most among the blue chips, up 3.1%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,186, +3.99, +0.34%) rose 3.99 points, or 0.3%, to 1,186.44, with consumer discretionary faring the best among the index's 10 industry groups, and utilities weighing the most.
Target Corp. (TGT 55.77, +0.13, +0.23%) shares rose 3%. Target was among retailers registering healthy March sales and outlooks, while Macy's Inc. (M 22.52, +0.06, +0.27%) tallied sales results for the month that exceeded expectations. Shares of Gap Inc. (GPS 24.57, -0.02, -0.08%) were up 3.5% after the clothing retailer reported same-store sales rose 11% last month. US Airways Group (LCC 7.54, -0.01, -0.14%) and UAL Corp. (UAUA 20.11, -0.12, -0.59%) were among the session's noteworthy movers, the former up 10.7% and the latter 6.8% amid reports the carriers had restarted merger talks. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP 2,437, +5.65, +0.23%) gained 5.65 points, or 0.2%, to 2,436.81. Wednesday's pullback in equities came after the Dow on Monday and Tuesday approached 11,000 for the first time in 18 months. Wednesday's retreat, the worst for equities in more than a month, came along with the notable advance of gold, which broke from other commodities on the decline. Hot Stocks: Retail stocks tap a 52-week high Thursday after U.S. stores beat already heightened expectations for March and report a record high monthly gain. Gap, Ross Stores and Aeropostale are among the gainers. On Thursday, crude-oil futures edged lower to $85.39 a barrel, while gold also lost ground to finish at $1,152.9 an ounce. The U.S. dollar lost some ground against the Japanese yen and euro, while the dollar (DXY 81.53, +0.08, +0.10%) edged higher to 81.52 from 81.446 late Wednesday. Advancers passed decliners 8-to-7 on the New York Stock Exchange, where exchange volume topped 1 billion and composite volume came to nearly 4.9 billion. Greece's debt troubles are weighing on the market mainly due to worries that its troubles would spread to other nations such as Portugal, Spain and Italy. Ahead of Wall Street's start, stock index futures were little changed after the Labor Department reported its count of those applying for jobless benefits rose by 18,000 to 460,000 last week.

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

A read of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, USA Today, New York Times & 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,441.85 down 9.69 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,451.54. 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 9.69 for Wednesday by the divisor you get the decrease in Wednesday's Dow close of 72.47. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

Market Watch 4/7/10 4:10 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply Wednesday as a plethora of worries prompted what bulls and bears alike viewed as an overdue down day. "Of the last 30 days we've had seven down days, so we're due. If the market gets up to bat 30 times and only misses seven you're going to the Hall of Fame," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co. Hogan listed Greece's debt and Treasury auctions as among the issues weighing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 10,897, -72.55, -0.66%) fell 72.47 points to 10,897.52.
