Post No. 467. 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 Saturday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, & Atlanta Journal Constituion& 6/7/10 issue of Barron's 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 9,931.97 down 323.31 or 3.15% from Thursday's close of 10,255.28. For the year the Dow is down 4.65%. For the week the Dow was down 204.66 or 2.01% from last Friday's close of 10,136.63. Of the 30 Dow Companies: all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $61.1525 -3.1575 4.91% 8,060,166 NYSE and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $57.76 -3.35 5.48% 10,109,432 NYSE.

WSJ pB1 "Dow Falls 323.31,Dow Below 1000" by Peter McKay, Bradley Davis says fresh concern about the health of the US and European economies sent the Dow back below 10000 and drove the euro to new four year lows against the dollar.

WSJ pB2 "Caterpillar, Boeing And AmEx Pace Slide" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks tumbled broadly Fri, with Caterpillar, American Express and Boeing among the decliners following a disappointing report on US jobs and as Hungary emerged as Europe's latest economic problem.

NYT pB1 "Report on Jobs Dashes Investors' Hopes, and Sahres Tumble" by Christine Hauser says stock tumbled Fri in one of their sharpest declines this year, leaving the Dow firmly below 10,000 as a disappointing jobs report cast a pall over the nation's economic recovery.

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 14.44 down from Friday's 14.91 (year ago it was 44.04) the P/E estimate is 12.36 down from Friday's 12.62 (year ago it was 25.00) and the current dividend yield is 2.78 up from Friday's 2.70 (it was 3.45 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 1,314.19 down 42.78 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,356.97. 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 42.78 for Friday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Friday's Dow of 323.31. 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 $43.81 1.42 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.23. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.01 down 1.81 from Thursday's median price of $39.82. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $48.61 -1.11 2.23% 6,141,242 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.35 -0.46 2.91% 144,907,877 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 $4,260made $ ($135,690 - $131,430).

MarketWatch Fri. 6/4/10 4:14 pm by Nick Godt says U.S. stocks finished sharply lower on Friday, with the Dow industrials sliding below the 10,000 mark as a disappointing U.S. jobs report and worries about Hungary's finances rekindled worries about growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 9,931, -324.06, -3.16%) fell 323 points, or 3.2%, to end at 9,931.97, its worst one-day drop since May 20. Cyclical blue-chip stocks such as Caterpillar Inc.

Of the S&P's 10 sectors, industrials fell the hardest, off 4.6%, followed by financials and materials, both down 3.9%. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,219, -83.86, -3.64%) fell 83.86 points, or 3.6%, to 2,219.17. For the week, the Dow fell 2%, the S&P was down 2.3%, and the Nasdaq dropped 1.7%
