Post No. 593. 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 8/17/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 8/17/10.

A read of Wednesday's issue of 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,405.85 up 103.84 or 1.01% from Monday's close of 10,302.01. For the year the Dow is down 0.21%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 27 gained, Travelers was unchanged and 2 (JPM and Kft) declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing BA $65.99 +1.59 2.47% 4,228,019 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $28.31 +0.93 3.4% 22,451,777 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was J.P.Morgan Chase JPM $37.48 -0.21 0.56% 33,784,188 NYSE and percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $29.26 -0.19 0.65% 13,828,844 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Wave of deals helps to end Dow's slump" by Jonathan Cehng says the Dow snapped a 5 day skid as signs of life in corp takeovers and strong results from a pair of retail giants helped US stocks post their strongest gain in 2 weeks. Oil prices, which increasingly have been tracking stocks, also ended a 5 day losing streak. The euro also rose, helped by a strong auction of Irish gov bonds. Demand for Treasurys fell as investors moved out of safer assets. Big gainers were Home Depot and WalMart whose earnings boosted hopes that consumer spending may not be as stagnant as feared.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 14.03 up from Tuesday's 13.89 (year ago it was 14.89) the P/E estimate is 12.49 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.49 (year ago it was 14.65) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 down from Tuesday's 2.71 (it was 3.10 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.

WSJ pC5 "WalMart adds 1.2%; Kraft falls' by Kristina Peterson says the Dow snapped a 5 day losing streak powered by better than expected earnings from Home Depot and Walmart. Home Depot is charted under Good news says its net profit rose 6.8% on a slight increase in foot traffic in stores adn share buybacks. Despite rev caution, it raised its full year earnings outlook. Kraft was one of only 2 Dow components to close in the red slipping 19 cents.

NYT pB9 "Shares post sharp gains, helped by earnings reports" by Bloomberg says stocks rose on Tues, sending the S&P 500 to its biggest gain in 2 weeks, after some good earnings from retailers and news of a $39 bil bid for the Potash Corp. WalMart and Home Depot both jumped as both raised their full year earnings forecasts.

USA Today p4B "Makets suge as optimism rebounds" by AP says investors regained some enthusiasm for stocks Tues sending prices higher afer reports showed a slight improvement in the housing market and a big jump in industrial production. Investors were also encouraged by earnings from retailers Home Depot and Walmart.

Fin Times p20 "Home Depot and Walmart figures bolser sentiment" by Hannah Kuchler says US equities rose yesterday afer retail bellwethers Walmart and Home Depot reported positive earnings, Potash rejected a takeover bid and data showed US production rose more than expected. Walmart rose 1.2% after it posted a better than expected quarterly profit and raised its forecast for the full year to $3.95 to $4.05 a share from $3.90 to $4 a share. Home Depot also beat analysts' estimates but sales missed expectations.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,374.92 up 13.84 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,361.15. 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 13.84 for Tuesay by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow of 103.84. 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 $45.83 up 0.45 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.38. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.61 up $0.01 from Monday's median price of $39.60. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $84. 09 +0.66 0.79% 4,345,072 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.21 +0.02 0.15% 131,575,391 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 $1,354 ($137,490 - 136,136).

MarketWatch 8/17/10 Tues. 4:32 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending a five-session losing streak, after Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.'s rejection of suitor BHP Billiton Ltd. unleashed a rally among agricultural companies and retailing giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s earnings topped estimates. There was a cornucopia of good news: upbeat guidance from the largest retailer on the planet, M&A activity is picking up, and economic data that blew away all concerns about deflation. The major indexes hit session highs after Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota said the central bank does not have new doubts about the recovery. Kocherlakota "doesn't believe persistent deflation [is] a likely [possibility], as that would require the Fed to make the 'surprising mistake of ignoring the long run in its desire to fix the short run,'" noted analysts at Action Economics. The Dow (DJIA 10,406, +103.84, +1.01%) rose 103.84 points, or 1%, to end at 10,405.85. All but three of its 30 components rose, including Wal-Mart /(WMT 51.21, +0.19, +0.37%) and Home Depot Inc. (HD 28.52, +0.21, +0.74%), both of which reported earnings that beat expectations.
Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT 29.34, +0.08, +0.28%) , among the Dow's laggards, fell 0.7% in the wake of a regulatory filing Monday that showed Warren Buffett's investment firm continues to sell shares in the food company. After eking out a rise of less than a point Monday, the S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,093, +13.16, +1.22%) rose 13.16 points, or 1.2%, to 1,092.54, with natural-resource companies leading gains that included all 10 of its industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,209, +27.57, +1.26%) added 27.57 points, or 1.3%, to 2,209.44. The Nasdaq snapped a four-session losing streak Monday, adding 8.39 points. Nearly four stocks advanced for every declining issue on the New York Stock Exchange, where 981 million shares traded hands. Composite volume topped 4.2 billion. Potash Corp. (POT 143.05, -0.12, -0.08%) shares advanced 28% after the world's biggest fertilizer producer rejected an unsolicited $130-a-share takeover bid from mining giant BHP Billiton (BHP 70.16, -0.05, -0.08%). The saga triggered buying in Potash's competitors, with shares of Mosaic Co. (MOS 55.95, +0.35, +0.63%) , the second-biggest fertilizer producer in North America, gaining 8.7%, and CF Industries Holdings Inc. (CF 88.60, +0.07, +0.08%) , a producer of nitrogen fertilizer, up 4.7%. Earnings, deals bring stocks to lifeStocks get a boost from solid earnings from Wal-Mart and Home Depot, but both face demand issues in the months ahead. One sector where demand isn't in doubt: the fertilizer sector where the market expects BHP Billiton to up its nearly $40 billion bid for Potash Corp. Elsewhere on the deal front, Pactiv Corp. (PTV 32.58, -.00, -0.01%) shares rallied 5.4% after global packaging company Reynolds Group said it would buy the maker of Hefty trash bags. Economic data also bolstered sentiment, with figures from the Federal Reserve showing production in the U.S. in July climbed 1%, exceeding expectations and offsetting worries about growth in the sector that helped pull the economy out of recession. Other figures released Tuesday were mixed. New-home construction rose 1.7% last month, but the gains were fueled by a large hike in apartment and condominium construction, a small piece of the overall market. The Labor Department reported wholesale prices climbed in July on increased costs of food, cars and light trucks. But core prices, which exclude food and energy costs, rose 0.3%, signaling that inflation remains subdued.
