Post No. 532. 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 7/11/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 7/11/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 10,366.72 up 3.7 or 0.04% from Tuesday's close of 10,363.02. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 14 gained, Bank of America was unchanged and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $23.74 +0.65 2.82% 61,364,635 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was 3M MMM $83.05 -0.50 0.6% 3,088,885 NYSE and percentage-wise was Amex AXP $43.7 -0.47 1.06% 7,033,379 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 15.05 up from Tuesday's 14.83 (year ago it was 12.33) the P/E estimate is 12.51 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.51 (year ago it was 13.00) and the current dividend yield is 2.68 down from Tuesday's 2.68 (it was 3.52 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,371.71 up 0.49 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1371.22. 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 0.49 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the increase in Wednesday's Dow of 3.7. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.72 up 0.01 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.71. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.03 down 0.30 from Tuesday's median price of $42.33. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.05 -0.50 0.6% 3,088,885 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.67 unch unch 114,299,596 NYSE.

If Wednesday 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 $30 ($137,160 - $137,130 - 135,181).

MarketWatch 7/14/10 Wednes. 45:01 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed with slight gains Wednesday, with the Dow industrials just managing to extend their recent winning streak, as an upbeat forecast from Intel Corp. vied with more disconcerting views on the U.S. economy from retailers and the Federal Reserve.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,367, +3.70, +0.04%) ended up 3.7 points, or 0.04%, to 10,366.72 for its seventh straight session of gains. Out of 30 components, 14 ended higher. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,095, -0.17, -0.02%) fell 0.17 point, or 0.02%, to 1,095.17, dragged lower by financial stocks. Technology fared the best among the index's 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index /(COMP 2,250, +7.81, +0.35%) rose 7.81 points, or 0.4%, to 2,249.84, with the tech-heavy index bolstered by Intel's earnings and sales forecast. Late Tuesday, the world's largest chip maker reported it swung to a profit that topped analysts' expectations and gave a stronger sales forecast. Weighing on sentiment, the Commerce Department said that U.S. retail sales fell 0.5% in June. And minutes from the Fed's last policy-setting meeting showed central bank officials downgraded their expectations for economic growth. For most of the choppy trading day, tech powered gains. A quartet of technology stocks -- Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO 23.74, +0.65, +2.82%) , Intel Corp. (INTC 21.40, +0.04, +0.19%) , Microsoft Corp.(MSFT 25.50, +0.06, +0.24%) and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 47.34, +0.57, +1.22%) -- led advancers on the Dow industrials. Intel (INTC 21.40, +0.04, +0.19%) shares ended up 1.7%. Stocks made minor gains and losses for much of the session, with investors appearing reluctant to make big moves ahead of the next round of earnings. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 40.32, -0.03, -0.07%) and Google Inc. (GOOG 491.80, +0.46, +0.09%) are two of the companies slated to release results Thursday. Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co., noted that only 23 S&P 500 companies are reporting results this week, with a broader industry spectrum coming in the weeks ahead. For every stock on the rise, more than one was falling on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume exceeded 1 billion.
