Post No. 635 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 9/12/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 9/12/10.

A read of Monday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Daily Report (Ga) and 9/13/10 issue of Barron's 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 10,462.77 up 47.53 or 0.46% from Thursday's close of 10,415.24. For the year the Dow is down 1.18%. For the week the Dow was up 14.84 or 0.14% from last Friday's Dow Close of 10,447.93. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $127.94 +1.58 1.25% 3,975,506 NYSE and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $78.64 +1.28 1.65% 6,490,481 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $38.25 -0.57 1.47% 21,262,277 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 14.12 up from Friday's 14.09 (year ago it was 15.50) the P/E estimate is 12.53 up from Friday's 12.50 (year ago it was 15.35) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 down from Friday's 2.70 (it was 2.95 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 1,382.44 up 7.28 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,375.16. 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 1.72 for Friday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Friday's Dow of 28.23. 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 $46.08 up 0.33 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.75. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.07 (AXP/HPQ) up 0.28 from Thursday's Dow Jones median price of 40.35. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.89 +0.93 1.12% 1,969,736 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.57 +-0.07 0.52% 78,472,720 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 $629 ($138,244 - $137,615 ).

MarketWatch 9/10/10 Friday 4:17 pm by Nick Godt Gibson says U.S. stocks upbeat reports from Japan and China helped lift hopes about the global economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,463, +47.60, +0.46%) rose 47.53 points, or 0.5%, to end at 10,462.77, with 22 of its 30 components rising, led by a 1.9% gain in shares of energy giant Chevron Corp. (CVX 78.58, -0.25, -0.31%) . The energy sector lifted the broad market, with crude oil gaining 3% in part due to raised forecasts for global demand. The S&P 500 index (SPX 1,110, +5.37, +0.49%) gained 5.37 points, or 0.5%, to 1,109.55. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,242, +6.28, +0.28%) rose 6.28 points, or 0.3%, to 2,242.48. It was the second consecutive week of gains for the major average, with the Dow gaining 0.1%, the S&P adding 0.5%, and the Nasdaq rising 0.4%
