Post No. 554. 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 7/25/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 7/25/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,537.69 up 12.26 or 12.26% from Monday's close of 10,525.43. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was duPont DD $40.38 +1.39 3.57% 15,610,680 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $44.55 -0.88 1.94% 9,962,554 NYSE.

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, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.65 up from Monday's 14.51 (year ago it was 14.018) the P/E estimate is 12.59 unchanged from Monday's 12.59 (year ago it was 14.34) and the current dividend yield is 2.64 down from Monday's 2.67 (it was 3.15 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,392.34 up 1.52 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,390.72. 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 1.52 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow of 12.26. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.41 up 0.5 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.36. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.62 down $0.30 from Monday's median price of $42.29. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.8 -0.52 0.6% 4,241,579 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.19 +0.04 0.28% 175,592,029 NYSE.

If Tuesday 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 $162 ($$139,234 - $139,072).

MarketWatch 7/27/10 Tues. 4:29 pm by Donna Kardos says strong earnings from DuPont helped drive the Dow Jones Industrial Average higher Tuesday, but the Standard & Poor's 500 fell as a drop in consumer confidence weighed on consumer-sensitive stocks including Home Depot and McDonald's. The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a gain of 12.26 points, or 0.12%, to 10537.69, its highest close since May 17. The measure is up 7.81% on the month, on pace for its best month since last July.
DuPont was the Dow's best performer, up 1.39, or 3.6%, to 40.38. The chemical giant's second-quarter profit nearly tripled from the same time a year ago. Revenue increased more than expected on improved volume and higher selling prices. The Dow's gain was limited by its consumer-related components, which fell following data showing U.S. consumer confidence declined again in July. The consumer-confidence reading hit its lowest level since February and missed expectations slightly. Investors said the report was a painful reminder of the divergence between strong earnings and weak economic data. Home Depot dropped 41 cents, or 1.4%, to 28.58, McDonald's slipped 47 cents, or 0.7%, to 70.40, and Walt Disney fell 12 cents, or 0.4%, to 34.28. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 8.18, or 0.36%, to 2288.25. The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 1.17, or 0.10%, to 1113.84.

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog:

A read of Tuesday's issues of Wall St. 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 10,525.43 up 100.81 or 0.97% from Friday's close of 10,424.62. For the year, the Dow is up 0.93%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 29 gained and only Walmart declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M MMM $87.32 +1.15 1.33% 4,747,232 NYSE and percentage-wise was Pfizer PFE $15.02 +0.44 3.02% 52,757,403 NYSE. The only decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart WMT $51.13 -0.54 1.05% 14,010,817 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Home Depot, Pfizer drive Dow's advance" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks climbed following a rosy forecast from FedEx and as a bigger than expected increase in new home sales boosted firms connected to housing, including Home Depot and PulteGroup. Alcoa is charted under Good News as it launched tender offers for up to $750 mil in notes. Among the Dow's other gainers, Pfizer climbed 3%. Walmart was the only Dow component to end the session in the red. It fell 54 cents or 1.1% after the resignation of its US apparel chief, the third departure in less than a month. Genzme jumped as investors viewed the biotech firm as an acquisition target with Sanofi-Aventis as the obvious suitor but GlaxoSmithKline and Johnson & Johnson are also seen as possible acquirors.

WSJ pC1 "Dow climbs 100.81 points, now up in '10" by Jonathan Cheng says stocks advanced braodly Mon on light trading as encouraging economic and corp. numbers helped investors extend last week's stock market momentum. The Dow's 3 day winning streak has pushed the index back into positive territory for the year.

Fin Times p22 "Housing figures and FedEx deliver confidence boost" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks were lifted Mon by better housing data than expected and a forecast earnings rise by FedEx, the firm seen as a barometer for global trade.

NYT pB8 "Stocks finish stronger; Dow and Nasdaq reach high points for the year" by Matthew Saltmarsh says exchanges on Wall St got a strong start to a week that will endo on Fri with the release of a crucial indicator: the economy's 2Q growth.

USA Today p4B "Home sales increase helps out stocks" by AP says stocks rallied a 3rd consecutive session Mon after the gov reported a better thane xpecgted jump in new home sales and FedEx raised its outlook.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,390.72 up 8.84 from Friday's closing numerator of 1363.88. 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 8.84 for Monday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Friday's Dow of 100.81. 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 $46.36 up 0.45 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.91. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.92 up $0.63 from Friday's median price of $42.29. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.32 +1.15 1.33% 4,747,232 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13. 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 $1,332 ($139,072 - $137,740).

MarketWatch 7/26/10 Mon. 4:09 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed near session highs Monday, ending their third-straight winning session with a burst of momentum. The gains were enough to bring two benchmark indexes into positive territory for the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,525, +100.81, +0.97%) closed up 100.81 points, or 1%, at 10,525.43 points, up 0.9% for the year. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,115, +12.35, +1.12%) gained 12.35 points, or 1.1%, to 1,115.01, still off 0.01% for the year. Industrials, helped by FedEx Corp.'s (FDX 78.94, -4.45, -5.34%) sweetened outlook, and financials led gains shared by all 10 S&P 500 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,296, +26.96, +1.19%) closed up 26.96 points, or 1.2%, at 2,296.43.
