Post No. 590. 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 Monday at 10,302.01 down 1.14 or 0.01% from Friday's close of 10,303.15. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 12 gained and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was 3M MMM $83.4 -0.61 0.73% 2,145,335 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $21.91 +0.55 2.57% 88,201,433 NASDAQ-GS.

As of the open of the market Monday, 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 13.89 down from Friday's 13.94 (year ago it was 15.06) the P/E estimate is 12.49 down from Friday's 12.49 (year ago it was 14.65) and the current dividend yield is 2.71 unchanged from Friday's 2.71 (it was 3.04 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 1,361.20 down 0.15 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,361.35. 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 0.15 for Monday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Monday's Dow of 1.14. 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 $45.38 unchanged from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.38. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.60 down $0.08 from Friday's median price of $39.68. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.4 -0.61 0.73% 2,145,335 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.22 -0.01 0.08% 90,507,632 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 broken even ($136,135 - $136,136).

MarketWatch 8/16/10 Mon. 4:14 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks made a lackluster finish to the day's trading Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,302, -1.14, -0.01%) extending its losing streak by a hair, and the other benchmarks ending modestly higher. Down for a fifth straight day, the Dow lost 1.1 point, or 0.01%, to 10,302.01. The S&P 500 (COMP 2,182, +8.39, +0.39%) added 0.1 point, or 0.01%, to 1,079.38, with materials and tech stocks in the lead. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,182, +8.39, +0.39%) ended up 8.4 points, or 0.4%, to 2,181.87, coming back a bit from last week's rout. Disappointment over Japan's GDP and New York-area manufacturing weighed on sentiment, though investors avoided big positions. All three benchmarks are still down for the year.

The following are excerpts from Mon. morning's Blog.

A read of Monday's issue of Barron's (8/16/10), Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga) 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 Jones Industrial Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,303.15 down 16.8 or 0.16% from Thursday's close of 10,319.95. For the week the Dow was down 350.41 or 3.29% from last Friday's close of 10,653.56. For the year the Dow is down 1.2%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $68.08 +0.58 0.86% 5,813,185 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $13.23 +0.1675 1.28% 106,876,646 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was DuPont DD $40.28 -0.49 1.2% 3,826,862 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $19.205 +0.245 1.26% 50,885,468 NASDAQ-GS.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,361.35 down 2.09 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,363.56. 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 2.09 for Friday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Friday's Dow of 16.8. 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 $45.38 down $0.07 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.45. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.68 down $0.30 from Thursday's median price of $39.98. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.95 -0.06 0.07% 1,700,344 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.23 +0.1675 1.28% 106,876,646 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 $221 ($136,356 - $136,135).

MarketWatch 8/13/10 Fri. 4:22 pm by Nick Godt says U.S. stocks finished lower on Friday and posted heavy losses for a week that saw major averages again turn negative for the year as concerns about economic growth returned to the fore. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,303, -16.80, -0.16%) fell 16.80 points, or 0.2%, to end at 10,303.15, weighed down by more than 1% drops in shares of Home Depot (HD 27.30, -0.01, -0.04%) , Intel (INTC 19.19, +0.04, +0.21%) , and American Express (AXP 41.73, -0.03, -0.07%) . For the week, the Dow industrials slumped 3.3%, and is now down 1.2% year to date. The S&P 500 index (SPX 1,079, -4.36, -0.40%) lost 4.36 points, or 0.4%, to 1,079.25, weighed by the consumer discretionary sector. For the week, the S&P 500 is off 3.8%, leading the broad-market gauge to lose 3.2% for the year. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,173, -16.79, -0.77%) fell 16.79 points, or 0.8%, to 2,173.48. The tech-heavy index fell the hardest of the three major averages this week, losing 5%. For the year so far, the Nasdaq is now down 4.2%.
