Post No. 647 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) & 9/20/10 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 10,572.73 up 46.2 or 0.44% from Thursday's close of 10,572.73. For the week the Dow is up 145.08 or 1.39% from last Friday's close of 10,462.77. For the year the Dow is up 2.05%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $73.18 +1.18 1.64% 11,302,247 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $39.14 -1.21 3% 35,299,502 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 14.31 up from Friday's 14.29 (year ago it was 15.84) the P/E estimate is 12.76 unchanged from Friday's 12.53 (year ago it was 15.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.66 unchanged from Friday's 2.66 (it was 2.87 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 1,401.60 up 1.72 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,399.88. 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 13. 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 $46.72 up 0.06 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.66. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.36 (JPM/AXP) down 0.60 from Thursday's Dow Jones median price of 40.96. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.07 +1.12 1.32% 5,932,850 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.4 -0.15 1.11% 132,138,754 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 $172 ($140,160 - $139,988).

MarketWatch 9/17/10 Friday 5:05 pm by Kristina Peterson & Jonathan Cheng says U.S. stocks climbed narrowly into positive territory on Friday, as technology companies added to the week's modest gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,608, +13.10, +0.12%) rose 13.02 points, or 0.12%, to 10,607.85 on Friday. The measure climbed for a third straight week, adding 1.4% in the past week. The Standard & Poor's 500-share index (SPX 1,126, +0.93, +0.08%) gained 0.93 point, or 0.08%, to 1,125.59. The S&P 500 closed up for a third consecutive week, rising 1.45%. But the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,316, +12.36, +0.54%) was the best performer, rising for eight straight days and outperforming both blue chips and the broader market. The Nasdaq gained 12.36, or 0.54%, to 2,315.61 on Friday, and climbed 3.26% over the week, as ebbing fears of a double-dip recession and encouraging earnings lifted technology stocks. Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM 46.54, -0.18, -0.39%) (CA:RIM 47.78, +0.08, +0.17%) shares rose 0.5% after the BlackBerry maker posted a surge in its fiscal second-quarter profit and revenue, though it added fewer new subscribers than it had expected. Oracle Corp. (ORCL 27.47, -0.01, -0.04%) shares jumped 8.4% after the business-software maker said its fiscal first-quarter profit grew 20% as the company benefited from new revenue from its Sun Microsystems acquisition, as well as strong demand for software licenses. Texas Instruments (TXI 32.19, +0.01, +0.02%) shares climbed or 3%, to 25.72, after the chipmaker said it plans to buy back $7.5 billion worth of its shares and would raise its quarterly dividend by 8%.While the large-cap indexes have surged in September, much of that gain came early in the month. This week's gains were slim, as investors continued to buy safe-haven assets including Treasurys and gold. "We're still struggling on a daily basis on: are we up or down for the year?" noted Julius Ridgway, investment adviser at Medley & Brown. The Dow is currently up 1.72% for the year; the S&P 500 is up 0.94% since Dec. 31. "Before we break out to new highs, you're going to have to see a compelling reason and in the absence of a compelling reason, you'll see choppy markets," he said. Financials lagged Friday as concerns circulated over the health of the European banking system and global currency-exchange rate tensions. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. /(JPM 40.08, +0.02, +0.05%) led financial stocks lower, falling 2.3% as the bank continued to struggle with the fallout from problems with its banking website. Bank of America (BAC 13.39, -0.01, -0.08%) shed 1.1%, while Morgan Stanley (MS 26.50, +0.03, +0.11%) lost 1.2%. In U.S. economic data, a Reuters/University of Michigan survey of consumer sentiment came in below economists’ expectations and declined from the previous month. The data came as a rude surprise to investors whose optimism had been slowly mounting this month. “The fact that sentiment and optimism were so high in the near term is probably a headwind until we get better economic data or sentiment backs off,” said Mike O’Rourke, chief market strategist at institutional broker BTIG. The U.S. dollar strengthened against both the euro and the yen. The euro (EURUSD 1.3045, -0.0031, -0.2371%) was trading recently at $1.304551, down from $1.3085 late Thursday in New York. Crude-oil prices declined.
