Post No. 501. 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 6/4/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 6/4/10.

A read of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Georgia) 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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 10,152.80 down 145.64 or1.41% from Wednesday's close of 10,298.44. For the year the Dow is down 2.24%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: only Johnson & Johnson gained and the other 29 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was the only gainer Johnson & Johnson JNJ $59.6 +0.36 0.61% 18,202,902 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was 3M MMM $78.18 -1.94 2.42% 4,305,443 NYSE and percentage-wise was Pfizer PFE $14.46 -0.42 2.82% 85,968,463 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Stocks Drop: So Do Mortgage Raes" by Prabha Naarajan, Mat Phillips says persistent worries about the global economy are roiling the stock market, but they also are proving a boon for borrowers as the Dow tumbled another 145.64 points on Thurs. as Freddie Mac said that 30 year mortgage rates fell to their lowest level in almost 40 years.

WSJ pC6 "Darden, Macy's Fall: Bank Stocks Decline" by Kristina Peterson says stocks skidded as uncertainty over the final shape of the fin'l overhaul bill weighed on JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America and disappointing earnings from Bed Bath & Beyond sent a wide swath of retail stocks tumbling. Pfizer is charted under Bad News as it said it would suspend osteoarthritis trials of pain drug tanezumab following a request by the FDA.

NYT pB6 "Shares Slide as Uneasiness Returns" by AP & at USA Today p4B "Dreary forecasts help pull stocks down" by AP says stocks fell thurs after disappointing forecasts from retailers and amid concern about the gov's fin'l overhaul package.

Fin Times p22 "Regulation worries hinder banks on eve of G20 meeting" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks moved sharply lower yesterday on growing concerns about the pace at which the global recovery is proceeding but a bigger than expecgted fall in jobless claims gave some support. JPMorgan retreated 2.2% as its 2Q profit estimate was lowered to 70 cents per share from 94 cents by Citigroup annalysts. Cisco fell 1.3% after CEO John Chambers announced a firm commitment to invest $1 bil in Russia in 5 phases over the next decade. Bank of America fell 2.7% as its profit estimate for 2Q was cut to 20 cents per share from 29 cents at Collins Stewart citing changes from the fin'l reform legislation before Congress.

As of the open of the market Friday, 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 14.76 down from Thursday's 14.97 (year ago it was 12.34) the P/E estimate is 12.90 unchanged from Thursday's 12.90 (year ago it was 13.73) and the current dividend yield is 2.73 up from Thursday's 2.69 (it was 3.48 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,343.41 down 19.27 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,362.68. 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 19.27 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Thursday's Dow of 145.64. 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 $44.78 up 0.02 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.42. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.02 down $1.51 from Wednesday's median price of $40.53. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $50.54 -0.57 1.12% 4,188,786 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.02 -0.41 2.66% 167,443,483 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 lost 1,927 ($136,268 - $134,341).

MarketWatch 6/24/10 Thurs. 5:00 pm by Peter McKay, Kristina Peterson, Donna Yesalavich says a slide in the last hour of trading left the stock market with its second big loss of the week. Disappointing earnings dragged down a broad range of consumer-oriented stocks, and energy stocks sank amid continuing uncertainty over deepwater drilling. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,153, -145.64, -1.41%) fell 145.64 points, or 1.4%, to 10,152.80, in a move that echoed Tuesday's 149-point drop. Pfizer Inc. (PFE 14.53, +0.07, +0.48%) was the measure's worst performer, down 2.8% after saying it would suspend osteoarthritis trials of its pain drug tanezumab.
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX 1,074, -18.35, -1.68%) posted a fourth straight decline, its longest losing streak in seven weeks. The broad index ended down 1.7%, led by declines of more than 2% each in its consumer-discretionary, financial, energy and basic-materials sectors. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,217, -36.81, -1.63%) declined 1.6% to 2,217.42. The Russell 2000 tumbled 1.7% to 1,073.69.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 38.10, +0.07, +0.18%) dropped 2.2% and Bank of America Corp. (BAC 15.04, +0.02, +0.13%) fell 2.6% as House and Senate lawmakers sought to reach agreement on the final pieces of legislation that is expected to tighten oversight of the financial industry more than many had expected. See latest on the financial-reform conference committee's activity. Offshore drilling stocks slipped after the U.S. federal judge who earlier this week overturned a six-month ban on deepwater drilling activity denied a motion filed by the Obama administration to allow the ban to stay in place during the appeal process. The judge on Thursday also denied a motion by plaintiffs to enforce his own injunction. This means the government can file an emergency motion with the appeals court asking it to keep in place the drilling moratorium until the legal fight over the injunction is resolved.
How low can yields fall?In the wake of the Federal Reserve offering a subdued assessment of the economy and signaling it's set to keep interest rates low, Treasury yields are testing record levels. The downturn in yields is happening even in the absence of the kind of panic that's pushed yields to historic lows in the past. The move comes as the S&P 500 continues to test critical support levels.
Amid the uncertainty, Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO 59.93, +0.08, +0.13%) tumbled 4.4%, while oil and gas explorer Denbury Resources (DNR 15.86, +0.01, +0.03%) fell 3.1%. Meanwhile Anadarko Petroleum (APC 37.70, -0.07, -0.19%) fell 5.2% after shareholders filed the first oil spill lawsuit against the oil giant, alleging Anadarko made a series of false and misleading statements in relation with its participation in the broken well.In the consumer-discretionary sector, Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY 39.12, -2.34, -5.64%) dropped 5.6% after its current-quarter earnings outlook fell below analysts' estimates. Nike (NKE 69.62, -0.01, -0.02%) declined 4% after the athletic-shoe and apparel maker's revenue growth missed analysts' expectations. Other retailers also dropped. J.C. Penney (JCP 23.18, -0.06, -0.26%) fell 5.8%, Macy's (M 18.92, +0.07, +0.37%) slipped 6.2% and Nordstrom (JWN 35.55, +0.17, +0.48%) slid 4%. Media companies also tumbled. News Corp. (NWS 14.68, -0.01, -0.08%) (NWSA 12.69, -0.75, -5.58%) , publisher of The Wall Street Journal, fell 4.9%, Gannett (GCI 14.94, -0.94, -5.92%) slid 5.9% and New York Times (NYT 9.18, -0.44, -4.57%) fell 4.6%. U.S. economic data were mixed. In a bigger-than-expected drop, weekly jobless claims fell by 19,000 to 457,000. But investors said that decline isn't enough to change the labor market's momentum. Separately, there was a smaller-than-expected drop in durable-goods orders and manufacturing activity in the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's district slowed in June. The euro strengthened to $1.2338 recently. The dollar weakened against both the euro and the yen. Treasurys were mixed, with the two-year note (UST2YR 0.68, 0.00, 0.00%) flat and the 10-year note (UST10Y 3.14, +0.01, +0.45%) down to push yield up to 3.13%. Crude-oil futures edged down, while gold futures advanced.

A read of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Georgia Daily Report & 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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 9,732.53 down 41.49 or 0.42% from Wednesday's close of 9,774.02. For the year the Dow is down 6.67%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 6 gained, Kraft was unchanged and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonalds MCD $66.71 +0.84 1.28% 10,923,031 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was BAC $14.02 -0.35 2.44% 256,301,763 NYSE and percentage-wise was IBM $122.57 -0.91 0.74% 9,725,692 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "DJIA sheds 41.40 points as jobs data loom large" by Peter McKay says disappointing US economic data fanned investors' fears about global growth, pushing stocks & commodities down ahead of a key payrolls report. Among the Dow's worst performers were Bank of America down 2.4%, General Elec shed 2.1% and Merck was down 1.5%.

WSJ pC5 "BofA, GE Fall: BJ's, Ford Gain" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks fell Thur, with Bank of America, GE and Intel among the decliners, as disappointing data on the US housing and job markets sparked concerns about the pace of the economic recovery. Bank of America was the Dow's worst performer and Intel dropped 1%.

Fin Times p20 "Downbeat economic figures undermine investor sentiment" by Masa Serdarevic says disappointing economic data that fueled concerns about the strength of the economic recovery sent US stocks lower yesterday, but some ground was recovered in the last second half of the trading day. JPMorgan's earnings estimate was lowered to 70 cents from 77 cents,s ending its shares down 1.3%.

NYT pB7 "Fear of a weak labor picture & further recession send shares lower" by Reuters says stocks fell Thurs as manufacturing and labor market data heightened fears of a double dip recession before Fri's crucial employment report.

USA Today p4B "Stock close at new lows for the year" by Bloomberg says US stocks fell for a 4th day Thurs., sending the S&P 500 to a 9 month low, as weaker than estimated data, on manufacturing and home sales fueled concern that the economic recovery is in peril.

As of the open of the market Friday, 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 14.15 down from Thursday's 14.21 (year ago it was 12.06) the P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from Thursday's 12.60 (year ago it was 13.38) and the current dividend yield is 2.85 up from Thursday's 2.84 (it was 3.46 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,287.80 down 5.49 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1293.29. 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 5.49 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Thursday's Dow of 41.49. 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 $42.93 down 0.18 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $43.11. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $37.78 down $0.37 from Wednesday's median price of $38.15. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $48.93 -0.32 0.65% 4,621,091 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.02 -0.35 2.44% 256,301,763 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 lost $550 ($129,330 - $128,780).

MarketWatch 7/1/10 Thurs. 4:44 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished Thursday's volatile session off earlier lows but still well in the red after reports on joblessness, manufacturing and housing fueled concern about the economy ahead of the key monthly employment report Friday. In a down start to the third quarter, stocks tumbled after disappointing reports on the labor, housing and manufacturing sectors. Recovering from a 150-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 9,733, -41.49, -0.42%) remained mired in a sixth consecutive session of losses to finish down 41.49 points, or 0.4%, to 9,732.53. The blue-chip average was weighed down by Bank of America Corp. (BAC 14.02, -0.35, -2.44%) , down 2.4%; General Electric Co. (GE 14.14, +0.02, +0.14%) , down 2.1%; and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 36.06, -0.02, -0.06%) , off 1.3%. Down more than 16% from its 2010 high at the end of April, the S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,027, -3.34, -0.32%) on Thursday fell to its lowest level since early September 2009. The broad market gauge ended down 3.34 points, or 0.3%, to 1,027.37. Health care fronted the losses that extended to eight of the index's 10 industry groups. Among the laggards, Coventry Health Care Inc. (CVH 17.19, -0.49, -2.77%) shares were down 2.8%, a day after the insurer said it would acquire Mercy Health Plans for an undisclosed sum. Consumer-discretionary companies fared the best, with Apollo Group Inc. (APOL 42.47, -0.87, -2.01%) up 2% after the for-profit educator late Wednesday reported better-than-expected results. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,101, -7.88, -0.37%) dropped 7.88 points, or 0.4%, to 2,101.36. Decliners ran past advancers by 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.6 billion shares traded. The selling was widespread, with investors unloading commodities such as gold, which fell $39.20 to finish at $1,206.70 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Read more about gold futures. "Sin stocks" are among the few winners in the U.S. stock market. Isle of Capri Casinos and firearms maker Smith & Wesson post gains after each company releases encouraging news. On Thursday, the government reported initial claims for jobless benefits climbed 13,000 last week to 472,000. Economists had expected claims to fall. Separately, the National Association of Realtors said its count of pending home sales declined to a new low in May after a flurry of buying to take advantage of a tax credit that expired at the end of April. The Institute for Supply Management reported its manufacturing index declined in June, though the industry trade group said the sector seemed to still be expanding. The soft economic data came in the wake of a downbeat second quarter for investors, and one day before the government's June employment report. The reports did nothing to "change the impression the economy is in a slow patch here," said Kelly of J.P. Morgan Funds, who believes the market's volatility is in large part due to an exodus of individual investors, leaving mostly hedge funds and others with shorter time frames. Yet individual investors increased their holdings of stocks in June, though still keeping a smaller percentage than average in equities, according to a survey released Thursday. The American Association of Individual Investors said its surveyed members held nearly 52% of assets in stocks and related funds last month, up 1.9 percentage points from May. The historical average is 60%, according to the AAII.
