Post No. 421. 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 4/1/10.

A read of Saturday'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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,380.43 down 139.89 or 1.33% from Thursday's close of 10,520.32. The Dow was down 628.18 or 5.7% from last Friday's Dow close of 11,008.61. For the year the Dow is down .46%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $30.07 +0.86 2.94% 34,280,651 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $40.6 -1.90 4.47% 30,760,505 NYSE.

WSJ pB1 "Dow Falls 1.3%, Now in Red for '10" by Mark Gongloff says jittery fin'l markets churned through another ugly trading day on Fri, with major stock indexes falling into the red for the year and corp. bonds swinging frenetically on rumors from Europe. For the first time in 2 months, the Dow ended the day lower than when the year began. Witht he Dow now down 7.4% from its April 26 closing high, raders are questioning whether this is the beginning of a correction of 10% or mroe, something the market hasn't suffered since it began its epic bull run in March '09. Tech shares were among the worst performers with Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft each falling roughly 3%. American Express led the declines, however, falling 4.5%. Defensive stocks were in demand; Kraft Foods was the best performing stock in the Dow, up 2.9%.

WSJ pB11 "AmEx Pinches Dow; Kraft Up" by Steven Russolillo says stocks slumped for a 4th consecutive session Fri, led by weakness in the tech sector, including Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Microsoft, as Thur's tumultuous trading continued to weigh on investor sentiment. American Express was the Dow's biggest decliner. Procter & Gamble, Kraft and Amex are charted since Feb.

Fin Times p14 "Losses deepen in spite of encouraging jobs figures" by Masa Serdarevic
says US stocks extended their losses yesterday as investors struggled to understand Thurs' dramatic trading swings and remained focused on the European fiscal and political situations, overshadowing a positive US non-farm payrolls report. The fin'l sector was lower on the week as Citigroup fell 8.5%, JPorgan lost 4.3% and Morgan Stanley slipped 8.2%.

NYT pB1 "Wild Days on Wall St." by Christine Hauser says after Thurs's near panic, shaken traders returned to their desks Fri to grapple with the aftermath of one of the wildest days in Wall St. history as the exact cause of the 1,000 point plunge on Thurs remained unclear.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 15.33 down from Friday's open of 15.66 (year ago it was 43.10) the P/E estimate is 12.84 down from Friday's 13.95 (year ago it was 23.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.64 up from Friday's 2.61 (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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,373.53 down 18.51 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,392.04. 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 18.51 for Friday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Friday's Dow of 139.89. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.78 down 0.62 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.40. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 40.68 down 0.98 from Thursday's median closing price of $41.66. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.26 -0.54 1.08% 7,935,534 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $16.18 -0.10 0.61% 387,729,020 NYSE.

If Friday 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 $1,847 ($139,200 - $137,353).

Market Watch Fri. 5/7/10 5:41 p.m. by Peter McKay Gibson says US stocks tumbled in heavy volume Friday, capping their worst week in at least a year and their worst start to May ever, as concerns that Europe's debt situation could spiral globally prompted investors to hunker down in cash and government debt. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 10,380, -140.72, -1.34%) closed down 139.89 points, or 1.3%, to 10380.43. For a week that included three triple-digit point declines, the Dow was off 5.7% -- its worst week since March 2009. Its weekly point drop was the worst since October 2008. The S&P 500 was off 1.5% for the session as all ten of its categories ended lower. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,266, -54.00, -2.33%) was down 2.3%, putting it in correction territory from its April 26 high.For the blue-chip Dow, it was the worst five days of May ever. It was also the worst May start for the S&P 500 (SPX 1,111, -17.27, -1.53%) , whose 6.4% loss topped the index's early May tumble in 1930. Friday's stock slump followed a hair-raising session Thursday, when the Dow fell nearly 1,000 points, before closing off 3.2%, or 348 points. The implications of that plunge continued to reverberate on Friday, as exchanges and traders struggled to figure out what went wrong. Investors also continued to worry about Europe's debt crisis, which raised questions about the pace of the global economic recovery. Those worries overshadowed a Labor Department report showing job growth in April at its fastest pace in four years in the U.S. A closely watched measure of investor fear, the Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index (VIX 40.95, +8.15, +24.85%) , or the VIX, leapt to 41.62, its first close above 40 since April 7, 2009. Treasury prices slipped, pushing the yield of the benchmark 10-year note up to 3.420%. But government debt ended with its best week since August 2008. The U.S. dollar had its best weekly gain since October 2008.
Gold rose 1.1%, at $1,210.40 an ounce, a five-month high for the metal, while oil tumbled. Trading was unusually heavy throughout the day. Composite activity in New York Stock Exchange-listed companies hit 9.6 billion shares, well above the 2010 daily average but below Thursday's total near 11 billion. On Nomura's trading desks in lower Manhattan, the buzz picked up after a relatively flat opening. Report: Wild Ride for the MarketsDow Jones Newswires' Paul Vigna discusses today's Some market watchers were quick to point out that this time, unlike late 2008, many of the factors that sent stocks plummeting are now known quantities.In the Dow, American Express (AXP 41.00, +0.40, +0.99%) led decliners, down 4.5%, followed by Hewlett-Packard & Co. (HPQ 46.63, -0.10, -0.21%) , off 3.3%, and Cisco Systems (CSCO 24.76, +0.05, +0.20%) , off 3.1%. Kraft Foods (KFT 30.07, +0.86, +2.94%) led gainers, up 2.9%. The technology and industrials sectors led decliners in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, off more than 2% each. But Goldman Sachs (GS 142.89, -0.10, -0.07%) was a notable exception to the selloff among the financials, with shares rising 0.5% as executives faced an annual shareholder meeting amid civil and criminal investigations into the company's mortgage deals. Regulators, exchanges and trading firms are still trying to get to the bottom of what caused Thursday's freefall and how it managed to rebound. In the meantime, the biggest U.S. stock exchanges -- NYSE Euronext (NYA 6,916, -95.74, -1.37%) and Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ 19.12, +0.02, +0.11%) traded barbs, each alleging that the other's market model contributed to the chaos. NYSE Euronext said that about 4,000 trades were broken on Thursday after being identified as clearly erroneous as per exchange rules. The euro zone's latest moves to contain Greece's debt crisis were again in focus after Germany approved its contribution to a joint European Union-International Monetary Fund loan package for Greece. The finance ministers of the Group of Seven leading economies also held a telephone conference to discuss the Greek debt turmoil. The environment for initial public offerings around the world has taken a turn south as fear about Europe's credit problems continues, with bankers and analysts uncertain whether deals will be able to price over the next week. The IPO market's oors are closed for the short term. People are clearly focusing on their core portfolio positions, and few will be looking at any IPOs in the near term unless there is a very compelling reason to do so.
