Post No. 426. 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 5/1/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 5/10/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,748.26 down 36.88 or 0.34% from Monday's close of 10,785.14. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 7 gained and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise IBM $126.89 +0.62 0.49% 6,498,850 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $35.76 +0.47 1.33% 19,766,087 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise MMM $85.04 -0.93 1.08% 4,760,797 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $12.13 -0.46 3.65% 37,086,931 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 15.93 up from Monday's open of 15.33 (year ago it was 42.31) the P/E estimate is 12.27 down from Monday's 12.84 (year ago it was 23.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.564 down from Monday's 2.64 (it was 3.65 a year ago). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007. The 12 year low close for the Dow was on March 9, 2009 when it fell to 6,547.05.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,422.20 down 4.88 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,427.08. 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 4.88 for Monday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of 36.88. 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 $47.41 down 0.16 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.57. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 42.44 down 0.08 from Monday's median closing price of $42.52. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.78 -0.31 0.62% 4,665,669 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $17.16 -0.14 0.81% 187,833,110 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 lost $480 ($142,710 - $142,230).

Market Watch Mon. 5/11/10 5:44 p.m. by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks erased session gains to end mostly lower on Tuesday, losing some steam after posting their biggest surge in a year in the prior session in the wake of Europe's $1 trillion rescue package. After rising nearly 90 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 10,748, -36.66, -0.34%) ended down 36.88 points at 10,748.26. The blue-chip average was weighed down by shares of Alcoa Inc. (AA 12.12, -0.01, -0.08%) , off 3.7%, and Merck (MRK 33.46, -0.05, -0.15%) , down 2%. Intel Corp. (INTC 22.27, -0.01, -0.05%) shares fell 1.2%, reversing gains that came after its chief executive told investors the company anticipates annual earnings growth in the low double digits in the next few years. But the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,375, +0.64, +0.03%) bucked the trend, climbing 0.6 points to 2,375.31. Biotechnology shares climbed after Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD 39.25, -0.01, -0.03%) said its board had approved the buyback of $5 billion in shares during the next three years. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,156, -3.94, -0.34%) fell 3.94 points, or 0.3%, to 1,155.79, with utilities fronting sector gains among the index's 10 industry groups. Biotechnology shares climbed after Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD 39.25, -0.01, -0.03%) said its board had approved the buyback of $5 billion in shares during the next three years.
Advancers still topped declining issues by 17 to 13 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, where more than 1.4 billion shares traded. Composite volume topped 6.0 billion. Gold settles at all-time highGold settles at an all-time high, a symptom of broad-based investor concerns about markets and the global economy. Barron's Mike Santoli and MarketWatch's David Weidner join the News Hub to discuss.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold rose $19.5, or 1.6%, to end at $1,220.30 an ounce, while crude-oil futures finished under $77 a barrel.The major stock indexes initially had wavered as enthusiasm waned over the EU's nearly $1 trillion rescue plan to back debt-strapped countries. But Corn downplayed the notion that corporations that do business overseas would be hit amid belt-tightening by Greece and other debt-strapped nations. The bailout agreement offered reassurances that the common European currency would survive and the 16 nations that use the euro would be able to get loans. But the nations including Greece will also have to slash spending, possibly slowing Europe's recovery. Wall Street paid little heed after the Commerce Department reported inventories rose 0.4% in March, while wholesale sales climbed 2.4%. A less positive report had inflation accelerating in China last month, heightening concern that China's government might have to tighten credit to slow growth. On Monday, the Dow industrials gained more than 400 points in their largest jump since March 2009. The rally followed Wall Street's tumble late last week, which had the Dow on Thursday falling 998.5 points before recouping much of the slide late in the day.

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

A read of Tuesday'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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

WSJ pC1 "Bailout, Indeed: Dow up 404" by Peer McKay, Mark Gongloff says Europe's gambit aimed at staunching the onslaught of a new credit crisis had its desired market effect as stocks soared around the world, the euro jumped and sovereign debt yields retreated from sky high levels.

WSJ pC "Catepillar, GE Rise: Dean Foods Falls" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks posted their biggest one day gains in a year as a nearly $1 tril bailout package to help stabilize euro zone nations lifted a broad range of shares, including Caterpillar, Bank of America and GE.

NYT pB1 "Stocks Soar After Europe Announces Rescue Plan" by Christine Hauser says after a bruising 5 sessions last week that erased all of the year's gains, inluding a momentary free fall on Thurs that remains largely unexplained, stock indexes roared back on Mon. Credit markets also recovered from their malaise.

USA Today p1B "EU's life preserver buoys Dow" by Adam Shell says a nearly $1 tril lifeline designed to stabilize wobbly Europe and ring fence its debt problems sparked the Dow average to a 405 gain Mon, its biggest gain in more than a year.

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 53.55 for Monday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the increase in Monday's Dow of 404.71. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

Market Watch Mon. 5/10/10 4:21 p.m. by Nick Godt says news that Europe will inject nearly $1 trillion to prevent the Greek crisis from spreading propelled U.S. stocks to their biggest gains in over a year on Monday.
