Post No. 606 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 Thursday's issues of Wall St. Journal, New York Times, USA Today & Boston Globe 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 10,060.06 up 19.61 or 0.02% from Tuesday's close of 10,040.45. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 7 gained, United Technologies was unchanged and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonalds MCD $73.19 +0.47 0.65% 6,706,040 McDonalds MCD $73.19 +0.47 0.65% 6,706,040 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies UTX $65.26 -0.40 0.61% 6,609,165 United Technologies UTX $65.26 -0.40 0.61% 6,609,165 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Stocks' skid is stopped; Dow up 19.61" by Jonathan Cheng says stocks staged a meager advance, bringing an end to a 4 day slide. Oil futures were up reversing their own dip to gain 1.2%, ending a 5 day losing streak.

WSJ pC5 "Apple boosts Nasdaq by Kristina Peterson says home building firms led stocks higher as the market looked past disappointing economic data in the hopes that the housing market has finally bottomed. The Dow was led by home improvement retailer Home Depot which gained 55 cents and was charted under Good News.

NYT pB11 "Sahres rebound as builder posts a profit" by Christine Hauser says stocks posted small gains witht he major indexes advancing for the first time in 5 sessions despite new reports of weakness in the housing and manufacturing industries.

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, the trailing P/E ratio is 13.57 up from Wednesday's 13.55 (year ago it was 15.40) the P/E estimate is 12.36 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.36 (year ago it was 14.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.79 up from Wednesday's 2.79 (it was 3.01 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 1,329.23 up 2.59 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,326.64. 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 2.59 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow of 19.61. 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 $44.31 up 0.09 from Tuesay's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.22. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $37.89 down $0.66 from Monday's median price of $38.55. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.26 -0.48 0.97% 3,783,090 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $12.64 -0.23 1.79% 154,948,754 NYSE.

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 made $259($132,923 - $132,664.

MarketWatch 8/24/10 Wednesday4:43 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished higher on Wednesday, after a late reversal helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average end a four-session losing streak, with investors buying the battered stocks of home builders and other consumer issues in the wake of further disappointing housing numbers. Down 100 points earlier in the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA 10,060, +19.61, +0.20%) briefly dipped below the 10,000 level for a second day, but it reversed in the final stretch of trading, ending up 19.61 points, or 0.2%, at 10,060.06. Twenty-one of the Dow's 30 components were on the rise, with home-improvement retailer Home Depot Inc. HD 28.27, -0.06, -0.21%) faring the best, rising 2%. he gains follow four straight sessions of losses for the blue-chip average. Also down in the past four sessions, the S&P 500 Index SPX 1,055, +3.46, +0.33%) finished up 3.46 points, or 0.3%, to 1,055.33, with consumer-discretionary shares up 1%, leading gains among its 10 industry groups. Notable movers included luxury builder Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL 17.14, +0.01, +0.06%) ; its shares were up 5.8% after it swung to a third-quarter profit. Read more about Toll's results. The results helped lift other housing stocks, with both D.R. Horton Inc. (DHI 10.34, -0.09, -0.88%) and KB Home KBH 10.56, +0.06, +0.57%) up 4.6%. illionaire's buy listWarren Buffet, George Soros and Carl Icahn are buying stocks and that's a bullish sign, according to James Altucher, Wealth Adviser contributor, who says there's plenty to learn from their picks. After a two-day losing streak, the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP 2,142, +17.78, +0.84%) also reversed course, to finish up 17.78 points, or 0.8%, at 2,141.54.For every 11 stocks falling, 18 were rising on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.1 billion shares traded. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures added $7.90 to $1,241.30 an ounce, while crude futures gained 89 cents to end at $72.52 a barrel. Major stock indexes pared their steep slide after data showed that new-home sales fell 12.4% in July to an annual rate of 276,000, a record low. Before Wall Street's open, the government reported that orders for durable goods climbed a meager 0.3% in July, an increase far less than anticipated. Read more about the durable-goods orders.
