Post No. 562. 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.

A read of Sunday & Saturday's issues of New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, 8/2/10 issue of Barron', 7/30 -8/5/10 issue of Atlanta Business Chronicle& Saturday's issue of Wall St. Journal& Financial Times, 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 10,465.94 down 1.22 or 0.01% from Thursday's close of 10,467.16. For the week the Dow is up 41.32 or 0.04% from last Friday's close of 10,424.62. For the year the Dow is up 0.36%. For the month of July the Dow was up 691.92 points 7.1%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing BA $68.14 +0.92 1.37% 6,008,869 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $28.51 +0.46 1.64% 14,793,828 NYSE NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was 3M MMM $85.54 -0.80 0.93% 4,601,184 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $20.6 -0.43 2.04% 67,166,258 NASDAQ-GS.

WSJ pB1 "Blue chips rose 7.15 in July, best stock month in a year" by Jonathan Cheng says July was a good month for the Dow as it reversed a 120 point decline Fri to close out a heady month that added 691.92 points or 7.1% to the Dow, the best month in a year. The Dow finished Fri down 1.22 points bucking a slowdon in 2Q economic growth.

WSJ pB2 "Merck throws Dow for a loss" by Donna Yesalavich says in the final session of the market's best month in a year, blue chip stocks fell slightly as data showed US economic growth slowed in 2Q while Merck's sales disappointed. Still, the S& P 500 index eked out a tiny advance, led by consumer firms including Home Depot and Expedia. Home Depot was the Dow's best performer, up 1.6%. McDonald's climbed 0.5% after both got a boost after the Reuters/Univ of Michigan consumer sentiment index's final reading for July ticked up.

Fin Times p14 "Insurers & drugmakers stand out in tepid trade" by Hannah Kuchler says Wall St. finished flat Fri after spending most of the day in negative territory because of concerns about the slowing rate of economic growth.

NYT pB6 "after the GDP report, Wall St. settles down" by Susanna Kim says investors took a disappointing report on the nation's gross domestic product in strikde, leaving he indexes nearly unchanged on Fri. Shares stayed within a narrow range after opening lower in the latest reading on the economy.

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, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.18 down from Friday's 14.38 (year ago it was 14.76) the P/E estimate is 12.70 unchanged from Friday's 12.59 (year ago it was 14.50) and the current dividend yield is 2.66 unchanged from Friday's 2.66 (it was 3.13 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 1,382.86 down 0.16 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,383.02. 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 0.16 for Friday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Friday's Dow of 1.22. 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 $46.10 unchanged from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.10. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.39 down $0.06 from Thursday's median price of $42.39. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $85.54 -0.80 0.93% 4,601,184 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.04 +0.01 0.07% 129,713,831 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 $15 ($138,301 - $138,286).

MarketWatch 7/30/10 Fri. 4:31 pm by Claudia Assis, Kate Gibson, Deborah Levine says a modicum of confidence returned to markets in July, as U.S. and European stocks erased much of the losses inked in prior months and investors took heart that slow growth is better than none at all, dumping gold and the U.S. dollar in light of this more sanguine view. The recovery in stocks, oil and other hard-hit investments puts investors on a more stable footing as they head into August. Precious-metals mutual funds lost almost 9% in July as concerns about global economic woes eased. Concerns about a debt debacle in Europe galvanized Wall Street in May and June, punishing stocks and pushing gold to a string of record highs. July was kinder by far, even as solid earnings results were tarnished by concerns about the slow pace of the U.S. recovery. Such worries were reinforced Friday, when the Commerce Department reported the U.S. economy expanded at 2.4% annualized rate in the second quarter, compared to 3.7% in the previous three months. Nonetheless, the stock market, a barometer of the general mood about the economy, has recovered about half the ground lost since the end of April. Treasurys have held onto modest gains, sending yields on short-term maturities to record lows; and gold, traditionally considered a harbinger of doom, has suffered its first monthly loss in four. Markets swung widely in May and June as worries spread that high debt and deficit problems in European countries, starting with Greece, would hit European banks, curtail the region's economic growth, and cascade to the U.S. and other parts of the globe. There was even talk about whether the euro would survive the crisis. Wall Street has moved on from the global economic worries highlighted by Europe's debt trouble. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,466, -1.22, -0.01%) is on pace to record its biggest month gain in a year, up 7.3% for the nearly ended July. The index, which had finished just above the 11,000 level in April, went on to lose 11% in May and June combined. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX 1,102, +0.07, +0.01%) has gained 7.2% in July, after losing 8.2% in May and then another 5.4% in June. The Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/comstock/10y!i:comp (COMP 2,255, +3.01, +0.13%) has gained 7.1% for July, after tumbling 8.3% in May and another 6.6% in June. The Stoxx Europe 600 (ST:SXXP 255.35, -0.91, -0.36%) , a benchmark for European shares, gained 4.9% in July, rebounding from three straight months of losses. And emerging markets have also recovered, with the MSCI Barra Emerging Markets Index up about 8%, on track for its strongest gain since at least March. Still, stocks lost a bit of air as the month wound down, with the major U.S. indexes struggling to post slight gains for the final week. What's proved to be a largely positive second-quarter earnings season has been overshadowed instead by concerns surrounding the domestic recovery, with even bulls agreeing that the U.S. economy hit a rough patch in recent months. Bonds have mostly held their ground, with Treasurys of all maturities returning 0.2% in July, adding to gains of 6.1% so far this year. The current environment is just about perfect for Treasurys. Treasurys remain attractive to many investors as outlook of slow growth reduces the risk of inflation eroding the value of bonds' fixed payments. As bond prices have gained, yields have fallen. Two-year note yields (UST2YR 0.55, -0.03, -5.30%) have fallen to 0.55%, touching a fresh record low Friday, from 0.62% at the end of June and far from the high of the year, 1.18% in early April. See Bond Report for more on falling Treasury yields. Yields on 10-year notes (UST10Y 2.91, -0.08, -2.71%) , the benchmark for many consumer and corporate loans, are down slightly to 2.91% from 2.95% at the end of June. They, too, are far lower than the 3.99% reached in early April, and earlier in July they touched the lowest since April 2009. Thirty-year bonds' yields (UST30Y 3.99, -0.09, -2.21%) are 4%. That's up from 3.85% at the end of June, but still lower than levels seen in late May and the 2010 high of 4.78% in early April. The fading risk of inflation is good for bonds and consumers in general, but has been bad news for gold. The precious metal, bought by some on fears of rampant inflation, has lost nearly 6% since it hit a nominal record high of $1,258.30 an ounce on June 18. Gold lost 5% in July. Investors flocked to gold as concerns about the demise of the euro amid a European debt crisis hit fever pitch. It has suffered as those fears subsided. No sign of inflation in the horizon means that few investors but hard-core gold bugs have any incentive to pile up on gold, he added. The dollar was in a similarly hard spot in July, having lost the engine of its ascent in May and June. As concerns about the European debt crisis faded into the rearview mirror, the U.S. currency lost support from investors seeking a safe-haven from the euro. The dollar suffered a double-whammy, however, as weaker economic news kept away investors who might buy the dollar on the idea that faster U.S. growth would prompt the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, making the dollar more attractive. But the U.S. is still better positioned to stage a full recovery quicker than euro-zone countries and Great Britain, which implemented more austere government budgets. Tempus looks for the euro to change hands at $1.23 at the end of the year, provided macroeconomic reports show an improving picture in the U.S. The euro has gained 6.8% against the dollar this month, extending its recovery after touching a 4-year low around $1.19 in early June. The dollar index (DXY 81.58, -0.06, -0.07%) , which compares the U.S. currency to a basket of six currencies, has lost 5.2% in July, and is off 7.8% from its high at the beginning of June. For the year, the euro is down 8.8% against the dollar and the dollar index is up 4.7%.
Crude-oil futures gained 4.4% in July to settle just under $79 a barrel, the most-active contract's best month since March. Oil notched losses of 14% in May, and posted a subdued gain of 2.2% in June. Oil futures held a tight correlation with U.S. stocks, as rising equities were taken as signs of improving macroeconomic conditions and future energy demand. A weaker dollar also helped oil, making the hard asset less expensive for holders of other currencies and enhancing its appeal as an alternative investment. But, as GDP numbers made plain on Friday, the macroeconomic situation is still precarious, and challenges abound. While the Europe's recent bank stress tests soothed Wall Street somewhat, the risk remains for further economic trouble in the region, despite positive economic data from the continent, in particular from Germany. July marked the return of investor willingness to take on more risk, with so-called risk currencies such as the euro and pound started to climb. Long-term challenges include still-wobbly housing and jobs markets, rising federal and state government debt, and a subdued consumer, growing more politically and personally averse to spending, which would have negative consequences on growth.
