Post No. 546. 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 Thursday at 10,322.2 up 201.77 or 1.99% from Wednesday's close of 10,120.53. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $66.6 +3.42 5.41% 7,572,801 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Travelers TRV $49.29 -0.58 1.16% 6,956,492 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.32 down from Wednesday's 14.52 (year ago it was 13.51) the P/E estimate is 12.49 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.49 (year ago it was 13.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.75 up from Wednesday's 2.72 (it was 3.23 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 1,363.88 up 26.66 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1337.22. 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 201.77 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Thursday's Dow of 201.77. 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 $45.46 up 0.89 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.57. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.27 up $1.49 from Wednesday's median price of 39.78. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $69.53 +2.50 3.73% 5,200,479 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.66 +0.30 2.25% 185,705,804 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 made $2,658 ($136,380 - $133,722).

MarketWatch 7/22/10 Thur. 4:30 pm by Donna Kardos says U.S. stocks climbed broadly Thursday following strong earnings from Caterpillar, 3M and United Parcel Service, while better-than-expected data on U.S. existing-home sales and euro-zone economic activity also provided a boost. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 201.77 points, or 1.99%, to 10322.30, marking its biggest one-day gain since July 7 and its highest close since July 15. Boeing led the measure's gains with a jump of 3.42, or 5.4%, to 66.60, after European rival aircraft manufacturer Airbus raised its order intake target for 2010. Among the Dow's earnings reporters, 3M jumped 2.45, or 3%, to 84.75, after the manufacturing giant posted a 43% jump in second-quarter earnings while its sales rebounded to levels last seen two years ago. AT&T added 59 cents, or 2.4%, to 25.51, after the telecommunications company reported a 26% increase in second-quarter earnings, benefiting from iPhone activations. Caterpillar climbed 1.13, or 1.7%, to 68. The industrial giant posted a 91% surge in quarterly profit and boosted its full-year earnings outlook. However, Travelers fell 58 cents, or 1.2%, to 49.29. Record claims costs from storms in the Midwest caused the insurer's second-quarter profit to fall 9.5%. The company also pared back the high end of its estimate for full-year earnings. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 58.56, or 2.68%, to 2245.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 24.08, or 2.25%, to 1093.67. All of the S&P 500's sectors climbed, led by industrials, boosted by strong reports from UPS and Union Pacific in addition to the reports from 3M and Caterpillar. UPS jumped 3.14, or 5.2%, to 63.15, after the shipping giant posted a 90% surge in second-quarter profit on higher package volume, revenue growth and substantial margin improvement, and boosted its 2010 earnings guidance. Shares of rival FedEx climbed 4.50, or 6.1%, to 78.53. Meanwhile, Union Pacific climbed 3.28, or 4.8%, to 72.40, as the railroad company's second-quarter earnings also topped analysts' expectations.
The gains followed encouraging economic data from the euro zone--its composite purchasing managers index and industrial orders both unexpectedly rose--as well as a smaller-than-expected drop in U.S. existing-home sales.In addition, investors found Thursday's round of data particularly encouraging because a number of bellwether companies posted revenue that topped analysts' estimates and climbed from the prior year, reversing a trend seen in recent days of companies missing revenue expectations even as their earnings beat estimates.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.32 down from Wednesday's 14.52 (year ago it was 13.51) the P/E estimate is 12.49 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.49 (year ago it was 13.95) and the current dividend yield is 2.75 up from Wednesday's 2.72 (it was 3.23 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 1,337.22 down 23.15 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1360.93. 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 23.15 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Wednesday's Dow of 23.15. 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 $44.57 down 0.79 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.36.

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 lost $2,371 ($136,093 - $133,722).

MarketWatch 7/21/10 Wed. 5:03 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks dropped sharply Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke called the economic outlook "unusually uncertain" but avoided naming any new steps to jump-start growth, and after mixed earnings results from Yahoo Inc., Coca-Cola Co. and others.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,121, -109.43, -1.07%) closed with a loss of 109.43 points, or 1.1%, to 10,120.53, with all but four of its 30 components losing ground. After two days of gains, the major U.S. stock indexes had blown hot and cold before the decisive slide that came with Bernanke's testimony on Capitol Hill. In congressional testimony, Bernanke signaled that no moves were imminent to bolster the recovery despite a "somewhat weaker outlook" for the economy. In testimony, Bernanke said the outlook for the economy was "unusually uncertain" and that the central bank was willing to do more to spur growth. But he did not elaborate further on what actions the Fed might take. Read more about the Fed. Speculation that the Fed chief might use the testimony to lay out a new program to boost lending was credited for helping a fuel a late rally in the prior session. On the Dow, big-bank stocks led losses, with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 38.42, -1.21, -3.05%) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC 13.36, -0.41, -2.98%) shares sinking at least 3%. The four blue chips that remained higher were led by Coca-Cola (KO 54.08, +0.84, +1.58%) , its shares up 1.6% after the world's biggest drinks maker reported selling more soft drinks and juices in every part of the globe other than Europe during the second quarter. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,070, -13.89, -1.28%) declined 13.89 points, or 1.3%, to 1,069.59, with consumer discretionary and financials fronting declines that extended to all 10 of its industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,187, -35.16, -1.58%) was down 35.16 points, or 1.6%, to 2,187.33. All three indexes managed to hang onto slight weekly gains by the close.
Earlier, much of the market's tepid moves revolved around the latest earnings releases. While Yahoo (YHOO 13.91, -1.29, -8.49%) results disappointed, leading to an 8.5% drop for the stock, shares in Apple (AAPL 254.24, +2.35, +0.93%) rose 0.9% after results showed it outrunning rivals in selling computers, tablets and phones. See how Apple is perched to become top chip buyer in 2012. For every share on the rise, more than two were falling on the New York Stock Exchange, where trading volume topped 1.2 billion. The financial sector closed lower, erasing an early lift after Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC 26.06, +0.15, +0.58%) and Morgan Stanley (MS 26.80, +1.58, +6.26%) reported quarterly results. Wells Fargo's report revealed that the value of bad loans is increasing at the San Francisco bank, unlike that of its major rivals. Morgan Stanley beat profit estimates as the New York bank's widened pool of traders helped it score new business. Shares of Morgan Stanley closed with a 6.3% gain. Wall Street has been caught off guard in recent days as high-profile companies including General Electric Co. (GE 14.84, -0.10, -0.67%) , International Business Machines Corp. (IBM 125.27, -1.28, -1.01%) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC 13.36, -0.41, -2.98%) beat earnings estimates but missed on revenue. Still, the majority of S&P 500 companies are reporting both earnings and revenue above estimates, according to John Butters at Thomson Reuters.
