Post No. 436. The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Toward 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.

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.

Dow The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,625.83 up 5.67 0.05%. For the year the Dow is up 1.90%. Of the 30 Dow Companies 15 gained 3 unchnaged and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $63.38 +0.84 1.34% 14,584,798 NYSE and percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $30.55 +0.52 1.73% 13,539,651 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $63.78 -1.10 1.7% 11,728,562 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $12.1 -0.26 2.1% 38,700,449 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow Climbs 5.67 Points Digging out from a Drop" by Peter McKay says stocks swooned but made a comeback Mon as the euro recovered and oila voided a finish below $70 a barrel.

WSJ pC5 "Kraft, P&G Move Up: DeVry Tacks on 4.9%" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks edged up Mon, led by consumer stocks such as Kraft and Procter & Gamble, But cont'd concerns about the euro zone sent investors away from industrial firms dependent on global growth, including Caterpillar, along with energy and material stocks. Alcoa slipped 2.1%, Exxon Mobil was off 0.5%. American Express was strong with a gain of 1.4% as a regulatory filing showed its US borrowers at least a month behind in their card payments declined to 3.1% in April from 3.3% in March.

NYT pB3 "After Steep Sell Off, Dow Rallies Back" by Christine Hauser, David Jolly says stocks staged a late rally and closed slightly higher on Mon, rebounding from a broad early decline rooted in concern that Europe's debt problems could slow the global economic recovery.

Fin Times p22 "Sentiment Suffers after Weak Report on Manufacturing" by Telis Demos says Wall St. investors shifted into defensive sectors as disappointing manufacturing figures and hovering regulators added to its already cautious mood. Kr

USA Today p8B "Euro's rebound turns stocks around" by Bloomberg says stocks rose Mon witht he Dow reversing a 184 point drop, as the euro's rebound from a 4 year low bolstered optimism that the shared European currency will weather the region's debt crisis.

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 15.53 up from Monday's open of 15.52 (year ago it was 42.73) the P/E estimate is 13.10 unchanged from Monday's 13.10 (year ago it was 24.03) and the current dividend yield is 2.59 unchanged from Monday's 2.59 (it was 3.60 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,406.00 up 0.75 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,405.25. 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 0.75 for Monday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the ijcrease in Monday's Dow of 5.67. 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 $46.87 up 0.03 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.84. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 40.53 up 0.27 from Friday's median closing price of $40.26. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.68 unch unch 3,165,702 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $16.35 +0.01 0.06% 179,466,242 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 90 $ ($140,610- $140,520).

Market Watch Mon. 5/17/10 4:14 p.m. by Laura Mandaro says the U.S. closed slightly higher Monday, and well off earlier lows, after a late-session dash led by private-school operators and some technology stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,627, +6.80, +0.06%) gained 5.67 points, or 0.1%, to 10,625.83, led by a 1.7% gain in Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT 30.56, +0.01, +0.03%) and a 1.5% rise in AT&T / (T 25.89, +0.12, +0.47%) shares. Earlier, the blue-chip average had been down as much as 184 points. Consumer staples and telecommunications sectors, both viewed as defensive plays, also led gainers on the S&P 500 Index. (SPX 1,137, +1.26, +0.11%) But it was a turn higher in certain discretionary shares, including a late-session rally in school operator Apollo Group (APOL 57.95, +0.10, +0.17%) and DeVry (DV 61.97, -0.06, -0.10%) shares, that helped turn the sector around.
