Post No. 572. 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.

On August 2, 2010 Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. published a 66 page research report on AT&T saying it was a buy. For information as to how to obtain a copy of the Report please contact Dan Kolber at email: dkolber@intellivestsecurities.com or call him at 678-595-9756. For excerpts see this Blog's 8/4/10 Entry Headlined "AT&T Research Report."

A read of Friday'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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 10,674.98 down 5.45 or 0.05% from Wednesday's close of 10,680.43. For the year the Dow is up 2.37%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $71.96 +0.84 1.18% 7,391,563 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $43.22 -0.89 2.02% 12,403,838 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "ADM cuts away from Dow chaff" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks fell slightly as investors traded cautiously ahead of the gov's nonfarm-payrolls report due Fri. American Express was the Dow's weakest component, with a drop of 89 cents, while Pfizer dropped 25 cents and Microsoft dropped 36 cents.

WSJ pC1 "Dow Slips 5.45 points" by Jonathan Cheng says stocks traded slightly lower ahead of the gov's monthly payrolls report. Volumes were weak on the Dow, with less than 4 bil shares changing hands for the first time in nearly a month. Investors have struggled with conflicting corp and economic data. Thurs, initial jobless claims unexpectedly rose and retailers posted mixed sales.

Fin Times p20 'Indices drop back afer disappointing retail sales figures" by Hannah Kuchler says US equities slipped slightly on Thurs on the back of higher than expeced jobless claims and lacklustre sales daa from retailers.

NYT pB7 "A lip, in tepid trading ahead of July jobs report" by Christine Hauser says stocks on Wall St. closed slightly lower on Thurs after statistics on unemployment clais and retail sales dampened the economic outlook before the monthly report on the job market, due on Fri.

USA Today p4B "Jobs report nibbles away market gains" by Bloomberg says stocks slipped Thurs, pulling the S&P 500 index down from an almost 3 month high, as unexpected increase in jobless claims fueled concern the economic recovery is slowing.

As of the open of the market Friday, 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 14.43 down from Thursday's 14.48 (year ago it was 14.96) the P/E estimate is 12.70 unchanged from Thursday's 12.70 (year ago it was 14.50) and the current dividend yield is 2.61 unchanged from Thursday's 2.61 (it was 3.08 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,4110.47 down 0.65 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,411.12. 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 5.74 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Thursday's Dow of 44.5. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.02 down up $0.02 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.04. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.25 down $0.65 from Wednsday's median price of $42.70. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $50.67 -0.01 0.02% 1,964,328 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.02 -0.17 1.2% 110,416,889 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $73 ($141,120 - $141,047).

MarketWatch 8/5/10 Thurs. 4:35 pm by Donna Yesalavich says U.S. stocks recovered to finish slightly lower Thursday as investors braced for the government's monthly payrolls report on Friday morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,675, -5.45, -0.05%) lost 5.52 points, or 0.05%, to close at 10674.91, after spending much of the trading day deeper in negative territory. Investors searched for clarity on the sustainability of the economic recovery ahead of Friday's employment data, with Thursday's data offering only conflicting messages. Weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly rose while retailers reported mixed July same-store sales. Media-industry stocks resist the broader market's fall with shares of satellite-TV company DirecTV rising and media conglomerate News Corp. climbing following quarterly earnings reports. Adding to the market's concerns, the Federal Reserve will hold a meeting next week where officials are expected to consider whether to use cash the Fed receives when its mortgage-bond holdings mature to buy new mortgage or Treasury bonds, instead of allowing its portfolio to shrink gradually, as it is expected to do in the months ahead. Such a change would signal deepening concern about the economic outlook. The Nasdaq Composite(COMP 2,293, -10.51, -0.46%) declined 0.5% to 2293.06, and the Standard & Poor's 500 index (SPX 1,126, -1.43, -0.13%) dropped 0.1% to 1125.81. Information technology shares led the laggards, with Microsoft (MSFT 25.37, -0.36, -1.40%) slipping 1.4%, Xerox (XRX 9.74, +0.10, +1.04%) shedding 1% and Oracle (ORCL 24.26, -0.03, -0.11%) down 0.8%. The financial sector also dragged on the markets, weighed down by a 4.9% drop in Hartford Financial Services Group (HIG 22.70, +0.02, +0.09%) and a 1.7% decline in Regions Financial (RF 7.60, +0.13, +1.74%) . Hartford swung to a second-quarter profit, but lowered its 2010 target for operating earnings. Regions Chief Executive Grayson Hall Jr. warned investors he expects a slow economic recovery, with slow loan growth and a continued decline in home prices. Investors sought safety in Treasurys, which rose broadly. The increase in Treasurys pushed the yield on the 10-year note down to 2.90%. Volume was relatively weak, but in line with this week's lighter trend. Decliners outnumbered advancers by a ratio of two to one. The euro (EURUSD 1.3186, +0.0034, +0.2585%) fluctuated between small gains and losses after European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said that while the euro-zone economy is strengthening, current expansion rates are unlikely to be sustained after the summer. The European Central Bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1%, as widely expected. See full story on ECB, Trichet. Investors sought safety in Treasurys and gold, which both rose. The increase in Treasurys pushed the yield on the 10-year note (UST10Y 2.90, -0.05, -1.76%) down to 2.90%. Read more on Treasurys in Bond Report. Among retailers' same-store sales reported Thursday, companies such as Macy's /(M 19.71, -0.07, -0.34%) , Limited Brands (LTD 26.04, -0.29, -1.10%) and Abercrombie & Fitch managed to exceed expectations, but J.C. Penney (JCP 22.14, +0.02, +0.09%) , Aeropostale (ARO 25.70, -0.18, -0.70%) and Hot Topic (HOTT 4.96, -0.01, -0.20%) widely missed the mark and provided discouraging earnings forecasts. Macy's rose 1.8%, Limited edged up 1.2% and Abercrombie climbed 1.9%, while J.C. Penney dropped 7.7%, Aeropostale slipped 5.7% and Hot Topic shed 5.7%.

'09, it was just before the Treasury market began to feel pressure and interest rates moved higher, amid fears of inflation. IBM doesn't issue debt often, only 25 times over the past 21 years.
