Post No. 537. 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.

A read of Saturday's issue of Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Monday's (7/19) issue of Barron's & Investor's Business Daily 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 10,097.9 down 261.41 or 2.52% from Thursday's close of 10,359.31. For the week the Dow is down 100.13 or 0.98% from last Friday's close of 10,198.03. For the year the Dow is down 3.17%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $128.03 -2.69 2.06% 6,983,970 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $13.98 -1.41 9.16% 437,325,834 NYSE.

WSJ pB1 "Optimism fades, as do stocks" by Mark Gongloff says after resisting for much of the week, the stock market finally toppled under a barrage of disappointing economic news and missed earnings report. Friday was the worst one day selloff since June 29. Every Dow component was down. The least bruised names ere relatively defensive firms like AT&T and Procter & Gamble, each down about 1%. The worst performers were Bank of America & Ge, down 9% and nearly 5%, respectively. Each reported 2Q earnings that beat Wall St. forecasts, but also declines in rev at an inopportune moment, just when the economy seems to be losing momentum.

WSJ pB11 "BofA drives Dow drop: goldman up" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks tumbled Fri as a decline in consumer sentiment added to the market's disappointment over weaker than expected @q rev at Bank of America, Citigroup and GE.

Fin times p14 "Fin'ls lower as weak earnings weigh on indices" by Masa Serarevic says US stocks fell yesterday as disappointing rev growth from a number of closely watched firms and weak consumer sentiment data undermined sentiment.

NYT pB7 "Wall St. stumbles on disappointing bank earnings" by Christine hauser says a week that began with Wall St. confident in the prospects for corp profits ended with a rout on Fri, as discouraging results from 2 of the nation's largest banks sent the stock market into a tailspin.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks dive on banking concerns, consumer jitters" by Paul Whitfield says the major indexes plunged below their 50 day moving averages Fri as stocks took their hardest pounding in almost 3 weeks. Volume was up across the board due partly to options expirations.

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 0.132129493 (it changed on Thursday), the trailing P/E ratio is 14.35 down from Friday's 14.72 (year ago it was 13.04) the P/E estimate is 12.49 down from Friday's 12.51 (year ago it was 13.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.75 up from Friday's 2.68 (it was 3.29 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 1,334.23 down 34.54 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1368.77. 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 34.54 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Thursday's Dow of 261.41. 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 $44.47 down 1.16 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.69 down 2.26 from Thursday's median price of $41.95. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $80.95 -2.11 2.54% 4,291,549 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.98 -1.41 9.16% 437,325,834 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 $3,467 ($ $136,877 - $133,410).

MarketWatch 7/16/10 Fri. 4:40 pm by Donna Yesalavich says U.S. stocks plunged, as a double dose of discouraging earnings reports and concerns about the pace of the economic recovery wiped out the Dow Jones Industrial Average's gains for the week.
The Dow (DJIA 10,098, -261.49, -2.52%) , which snapped its seven-day winning streak on Thursday, closed down 261.41 points 2.5% to 10,097.90 and finished the week down 0.98%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,065, -31.60, -2.88%) declined 31.60 points, or 2.9%, to 1064.88 to end the week down 1.2%. Both indexes have fallen in three out of the last four weeks. The stock market's deep slide upends a week that started on a strong note, as earnings from Alcoa Inc. (AA 10.43, +0.02, +0.19%) and Intel Corp. (INTC 21.01, -0.01, -0.05%) fueled optimism about the profits of U.S. corporations. But the gains proved hard to hold, with concerns about the outlook for the U.S. economy in the second half moving front and center in investors' minds. Those concerns are casting a harsh light on earnings from large financial corporations with deep roots in Main Street. Bank of America Corp.'s (BAC 13.98, -1.41, -9.16%) 9.2% drop led the blue chips lower, after a loss in its mortgage business and a falloff in Wall Street trading profits dragged on second-quarter results. Adding to the jitters was a report that showed consumer sentiment dropped to its worst level since March 2009, the latest in a string of downbeat data that slammed Wall Street.
Investors turned pessimistic about growth prospects for other major U.S. companies as Citigroup Inc. (C 3.92, +0.02, +0.51%) and General Electric Co. (GE 14.53, -0.02, -0.14%) posted lackluster results. There also were growing worries about how financial regulatory overhaul will hurt bank earnings, with financials posting the biggest declines on the S&P 500 on Friday, falling 4.4%. Citigroup shares fell 6.3% and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 38.97, -0.03, -0.08%) fell 3.6%. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,179, -70.03, -3.11%) declined 3.1% to 2179.05 and finished the week down 0.8%. The index was weighed down by the 7% drop in Google Inc. (GOOG 460.00, +0.40, +0.09%) , which posted disappointing second-quarter results as its search business continued to show signs of slowing growth. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS 146.44, +0.27, +0.19%) bucked the trend to rise 0.7%, although the stock was up as much as 4.7% earlier, after the investment bank's settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission lifted a major overhang on the stock. Apple Inc. (AAPL 249.99, +0.09, +0.04%) shares, which flitted between small gains and losses, fell 0.6% after Chief Executive Steve Jobs said the company will give away free cases as a remedy for the antenna problems that have ravaged iPhone 4. BP PLC (BP 36.75, -0.35, -0.94%) slipped 4.7%, although the oil giant's well integrity test survived the night as pressures steadily rose, showing that a newly placed cap might have the ability to completely shut in an overflowing well in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite Friday's declines, the stock is still up nearly 10% this week and has gained about 40% from the multiyear lows hit late last month. Other markets are flashing warning signals too. Interest-rate futures markets are signaling an increasing shift in expectations that the economy could fall back into recession after a brief recovery, with the September and December Eurodollar futures contracts heading for a rare inversion. That has in the past indicated a contracting economy. The Treasurys market continues to flag a slowdown in the economy. In contrast with stocks, bonds are up for the week with the 10-year yield down more than 0.1 percentage point. Bond yields move inversely to prices. In the currency markets, the dollar has been under pressure for some time -- the euro briefly breached the key $1.30 level on Friday -- as concerns about the U.S. economy dominate just as investors have become less worried about the euro zone.

AT&T T $24.69 -0.31 1.24% 33,262,228 NYSE: WSJ pB5 "Steve Jobs defends iPhone's antenna,"NYT pB1 "Apple goes on the offensive" by Miguel Helft, Inv. Bus Daily pA1 "Jobs: iPhone 4 issue overblow, offers bumpers to buyers" by Patrick Seitz say AT&T subscribers who want to return the iPhone can get a full refund and get out of their contract without penalties.

WSJ pB1 "Optimism fades, as do stocks" by Mark Gongloff says after resisting for much of the week, the stock market finally toppled under a barrage of disappointing economic news and missed earnings report. Friday was the worst one day selloff since June 29. Every Dow component was down. The least bruised names ere relatively defensive firms like AT&T and Procter & Gamble, each down about 1%. The worst performers were Bank of America & Ge, down 9% and nearly 5%, respectively. Each reported 2Q earnings that beat Wall St. forecasts, but also declines in rev at an inopportune moment, just when the economy seems to be losing momentum.

Alcoa AA $10.41 -0.43 3.97% 28,153,919 NYSE: Barron's pM9 "Current Yield" by Randall W. Forsyth says Alcoa, CSX and Intel cleared the bar of low earnings expectations.

Amex AXP $41.38 -2.05 4.72% 14,136,816 NYSE: Barron's p17 "Week Preview" says on Mon. 7/19 IBM kicks off a busy week for earnings reports (2Q) and the consensus estimate is $2.58 a share versus $2.32 a year ago; Johnson & Johnson reports 2Q earnings on Tuesday 7/20 with consensus earnings of $1.21 vs. a year ago of $1.15 (also on Tues.

Barron's p24 "Concur" by Mark Veverka profiles Concur Technologies which holds 20 of the market for expense management software and is 13% owned by Americn Express which controls almost 70% of the world market for corporate cards.

Bank of America BAC $13.98 -1.41 9.16% 437,325,834 NYSE: NYT pB3 "Poor trading results take toll on profits at both Citigroup & BofA" by Eric Dash,Inv. Bus. Daily PA1 "BofA, Citip Top, but shares fall", AJC pA11 "Citi, Bank of America beat earnings prediction" say Bank of America reported earnings that rose in the April - June period as loan losses fell. BofA's 2Q net income rose 15% to $2.78 bil or 27 cents per share compared to $2.42 bil a year earlier beating analysts' expectations of 22 cents per share.

WSJ pB1 "BofA sees big tab in overhaul" by Dan Fitzpatrick says Bank of America rattled investors Fri with weak 2Q and a warning that fin'l overhaul legsilation could cost it as much as $43 bil a year in lost rev, plus a one time charge of $7 bil to $10 bil. Analysts were surprised at the estimate of lost rev, whch came on a day when the bankr eported a @q profit of $3.1 bil, down 3% from the same period a eyar ago. JPMorgan which reported earnings Thurs, didn't break out any regulatory overhaul estimates.

WSJ pB1 "Optimism fades, as do stocks" by Mark Gongloff says after resisting for much of the week, the stock market finally toppled under a barrage of disappointing economic news and missed earnings report.

Each reported 2Q earnings that beat Wall St. forecasts, but also declines in rev at an inopportune moment, just when the economy seems to be losing momentum.

WSJ pB16 "Bank results have glass again looking half empty" by David Reilly says falling credit costs bolstered earnings at Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan. The outlook was good: provision expenses and net charge offs of loans are likely to continue declining in coming quarters. But investors want growth in banks' lending businesses.

Barron's p17 "Week Review" says JPMorgan Chase posted a 76% rise in 2Q profits, to $1.09 a share, more than analysts estimated but deemed acceptable by his CEO. Bank of America and Citigroup posted better thane expected profit on lower credit losses, but investment banking profits fell.

Barron's pM3 "Big profits don't generate musch swagger" by Kopin Tan says profits last quarter jumped 76% at JPMorgan and 34% at Intel to a $2.9 bil profit. But forecasts remain cautious due to the world's debt burden, underemployed masses and the necessary fiscal austerity. Even when firms beat profit projections as Bank of America, Citigroup and GE did, investors wanted to see strong rev growth.

Barron's pM2 charts Bank of America saying it reported disappointing June quarter results as a decline in Wall St. trading profits and a poor mortgage biz hurt.

Boeing BA $61.9 -2.47 3.84% 7,003,045 NYSE: Fin Times p16 "Jets the two of us" says Boeing and Airbus have acknowledged a threat from smaller rivals. Ahead of next week's Farnborough Air Show, the world's largest aerospace festival, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney siad "This cozy world of just the 2 of us is almost over." Canada's Bombardier, China's Comac and Russia's Irkut are developing 150 seat short haul workhorses. Brazil's Embraer has cornered the regional jet market for sub 120 seat aircraft and all play up their jets' fuel efficiency and quietness.

Barron's p15 "Editorial" by Thomas Donlan says after 10 years of trying, the Air Force still has no new planes, and Boeing still has no new stream of rev.
