Post No. 541. 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 Tuesday's issues of 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,154.53 up 56.53 or 0.56% from Friday's close of 10,097.9. Year to date the Dow is down 2.62%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $129.79 +1.76 1.37% 7,937,597 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $21.59 +0.57 2.71% 63,275,724 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $13.61 -0.37 2.65% 314,148,985 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Boeing, Intel rise: BofA falls" by Kristina Person says stocks notched modest gains as investors sifted through mixed earnings and a weak index of housing sentiment to pin their hopes on strong quarterly reports later in the week. Bank of America is charged under Bad News saying Goldman took it off its conviction buy list but kept its buy rating saying the bank showed the least improvement in credit vs JPMorgan and Citi.

WSJ pC1 "Dow steps up 56.53 ahead of earnings" by Jonathan Cheng says stocks advanced modestly as investors prepared for a busy week of corp. earnings. About one firth of market turnover came from Bank of America and Citigroup as Citigroup was upgraded by Moody's BofA slid 2.7%. IBM fell 4.1% in after hours trading as its rev growth came in below expectations.

NYT pB9 "Investors study earnings for clues about the economy" by ChristineHauser says tech, utilities and energy stocks rose on Mon, helping the broader markets climb after Fri's steep decline.

Fin Times p24 "Halliburton provides equities with earnings fillip" by Hannah Kurchler says Wall St was boosted yesterday returning from last week's lows on the back of deal activity and encouraging earnings news from Halliburton.

USA Today p4B "Earnings hopes help markets gain a bit" by Stephen Bernard says investors are back to being optimistic about firms' earnings. Stocks ended a choppy day with a moderate rebound Mon.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493 (it changed last Thursday), the trailing P/E ratio is 14.43 up from Monday's 14.35 (year ago it was 13.19) the P/E estimate is 12.49 unchanged from Monday's 12.49 (year ago it was 13.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.74 down from Monday's 2.75 (it was 3.49 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,341.71 up 7.48 from Friday's closing numerator of 1334.23. 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 7.48 for Monday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Monday's Dow of 56.63. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.72 up 0.25 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.47. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.31 up 0.62 from Friday's median price of $39.69. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.71 +0.09 0.18% 2,608,298 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.61 -0.37 2.65% 314,148,985 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $750 ($134,160 - $133,410).

MarketWatch 7/19/10 Mon. 5:01 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed with moderate gains Monday as positive earnings results from companies including Halliburton Co. took the upper hand, overriding economic data showing pessimism among home builders. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,154, +56.53, +0.56%) closed up 56.53 points, or 0.6%, to 10,154.43, capping a choppy day that sent the index nearly 90 points higher intraday as well as into the red. Intel Corp. (INTC 21.28, -0.31, -1.44%) led the Dow with a 2.7% gain. Reuters cited a source close to the Federal Trade Commission reporting Intel had reached an initial agreement with the agency that will give it less flexibility in marketing its products but not cost it any money. Boeing Co. (BA 62.80, -0.38, -0.60%) shares added 2.1% after the jet maker disclosed a pair of big orders from Emirates and General Electric Co. (GE 14.56, -0.06, -0.41%) Bank of America Corp. (BAC 13.52, -0.09, -0.66%) fell the most among the blue chips, down 2.7% after analysts trimmed their outlooks for the bank after reviewing its earnings released last week. Of the 30 Dow components, eight closed lower. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,071, +6.37, +0.60%) closed up 6.37 points, or 0.6%, to 1,071.25, with utilities and tech leading all 10 industry groups higher.
The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,198, +19.18, +0.88%) added 19.18 points, or 0.9%, to 2,198.23. While technology companies were collectively higher, shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL 243.60, -1.98, -0.81%) slid 1.7%, with the company engaged in a public relations battle over its iPhone 4 as it prepares to release quarterly results on Tuesday. See details of what analysts expect from Apple. Airline stocks fall as Delta Air Lines is the first major U.S. carrier to report quarterly results. Delta swung to a profit, but also said it plans to add more capacity in 2011, dragging down the shares of other airlines. For every stock on the decline nearly two were rising on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 956 million shares traded hands. Volume was light, amounting to 74% of its 30-day average, according to FactSet Research. Helping lift the energy sector, Halliburton (HAL 29.17, +1.66, +6.03%) reported quarterly results that exceeded Wall Street's expectations. The upbeat report lifted Halliburton shares 6% and supported stocks in other oil-services firms including Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB 59.29, +0.14, +0.23%) and Baker Hughes Inc. (BHI 47.70, +1.70, +3.70%) Less promising were results from Hasbro Inc. (HAS 39.35, -0.15, -0.38%) , with the toy maker reporting a rise in earnings but a drop in sales, feeding worries about the impact of unemployment on consumer spending. Hasbro shares ended down 0.4%. Airline stocks were hit after Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL 11.10, -0.28, -2.46%) reported revenues that fell short of expectations. Delta (DAL 11.10, -0.28, -2.46%) fell 2.9% and US Airways Corp. (LCC 8.56, -0.06, -0.70%) shares ended down 3.7%. The major stock indexes had come under pressure after findings from the National Association of Home Builders' confidence index, which fell from 16 in June to 14 in July, its lowest level since April 2009. Shares of home builders fell after the NAHB's release, with D.R. Horton Inc. (DHI 9.97, -0.13, -1.29%) , Lennar Corp. (LEN 14.07, +0.25, +1.78%) and Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL 16.22, -0.01, -0.06%) all closing off more than 1%. Ireland's credit rating on Monday drew a downgrade from Moody's, which warned the country is looking at a slow climb from recession amid escalating costs from bailing out its banks. Read more on Moody's downgrade. Ireland's cut to Aa2 comes one day before the scheduled sale of as much as 1.5 billion euros of Irish debt. International Business Machines /(IBM 124.48, -5.31, -4.09%) shares gained 1.4% ahead of its results, out after the close Monday.
Monday's slight gains followed losses on Wall Street on Friday, when the major indexes declined sharply after data showed a drop in consumer confidence.
