Post No. 612 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 Monday's 8/30/10 issue of Barron's, New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, USA Today, Daily Report (Ga) & 8/27/10 - 9/2/10 issue of Atlanta Business Chronicle (your Blogger has an article in it at page 29A "Some news laws could be comedic fodder") 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 10,150.65 up 164.84 or 1.65% from Thursday's close of 9,985.81. For the year the Dow is down 2.66%. For the week the Dow is down 62.97 0.62% from last Friday's close of 10,213.62. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainers dollar-wise and percentage-wise were Caterpillar CAT $65.9 +1.95 3.05% 7,381,883 NYSE and IBM $124.73 +1.95 1.59% 6,098,113 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $41.01 +1.52 3.85% 6,523,368 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, 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 13.70 up from Friday's 13.47 (year ago it was 15.40) the P/E estimate is 12.02 down from Friday's 12.36 (year ago it was 15.08) and the current dividend yield is 2.77 down from Friday's 2.81 (it was 2.99 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 1,341.20 up 21.78 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,319.42. 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 21.98 for Friday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Friday's Dow of 164.84. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.71 up 0.73 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $43.98. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.46. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81 +1.22 1.53% 3,363,586 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $12.64 +0.17 1.36% 154,183,913 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 made $2,178 ($134,120 - $131,942).

MarketWatch 8/27/10 Friday 4:14 pm by Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks surged Friday after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pledged to fight any deflationary pressures and to prevent the economy from returning to recession. Stocks also advanced after the government's downward revision of second-quarter economic activity wasn't as sharp as expected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,151, +164.84, +1.65%) ended Friday up 165 points, or 1.7%, at 10,150.65. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,065, +17.37, +1.66%) rose 17 points, or 1.7%, to 1,064.59, and the Nasdaq Composite /COMP 2,154, +34.94, +1.65%) gained 35 points, or 1.7%, to close at 2,153.63. But the week was littered with disappointing economic reports, leaving the benchmarks down for the week. The Dow posted a weekly loss of 0.6% and the S&P 500 (SPX 1,065, +17.37, +1.66%) fell 0.7%, with each marking its third straight week of declines. The Nasdaq dropped 1.2% for the week, its second weekly loss in three.
