Post No. 650 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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,761.03 up 7.41 or 0.07% from Monday's close of 10,753.62. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $76.39 +1.64 2.19% 14,846,138 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise 3M MMM $86.55 -0.86 0.98% 3,627,552 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $11.16 -0.221 1.94% 33,040,322 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, 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 14.51 up from Monday's 14.31 (year ago it was 15.78) the P/E estimate is 12.76 unchanged from Monday's 12.76 (year ago it was 15.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.62 down from Monday's 2.66 (it was 2.88 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,421.85 up 0.98 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,420.87. 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 0.98 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Tuesday's Dow of 7.41. 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 $47.39 up 0.64 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.36. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.04 (JPM/AXP) down 1.12 from Monday's Dow Jones median price of 42.16. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.93 -0.63 1.18% 3,203,319 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.65 -0.09 0.66% 166,179,051 NYSE.

If Tuesday 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 $90 ($142,170 - $142,080).

MarketWatch 9/21/10 Tuesday 4:34 pm by Kristina Peterson says U.S. stocks lost most of their afternoon gains by the close of trading Tuesday after the Federal Reserve said it stood ready to further ease monetary policy as inflation is running below target. Also, Julian Barnes discusses Democrats' failed Senate effort to reverse the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy for gays in the military.
“No surprises, which I guess is what the market wanted,” said Timothy Harder, chief investment officer at Peak Capital Investments Services.

Reversing course after an afternoon of mild losses, the major indexes turned higher after the FOMC statement, only to have the gains fade by teh close of trading.

“Whether it’s the Fed statement or housing numbers earlier today, we’re looking for affirmation of weak, slow growth, and not something worse than that,” Harder added.

After rising more than 75 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/comstock/10w!i:dji/delayed (DJIA 10,761, +7.41, +0.07%) eked out only a fractional gain, helped by a 2.2% advance in shares Caterpillar Inc. [ /quotes/comstock/13*!cat/quotes/nls/cat (CAT 76.29, -0.10, -0.13%) .

The blue-chip average finished up 7.41 points, or 0.1%, at 10,761.03.

But the S&P 500 index (SPX 1,140, -2.93, -0.26%) , the gauge of the broad market used by market profesionals, ended down 2.93 points, or 0.3%, at 1,137.77, weighed down a 1% drop in its financials sector.

“It’s another reason to sell the dollar and buy gold or other currencies,” Some, said Euro Pacific Capital president Peter Schiff, of the Fed’s statement and policy.

Gold rallied in electronic trade, rising $10 from its floor settlement to $1,287.70 an ounce. The U.S. dollar (EURUSD 1.3257, +0.0194, +1.4851%) dropped against the euro.

The Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/comstock/10y!i:comp (COMP 2,349, -6.48, -0.28%) ended down 6.48 points at 2,349.35.

After a dismal August, Wall Street has spent much of September on a steady climb in the midst of a series of better-than-expected economic indicators. On Tuesday, the Commerce Department reported home construction climbed in August to its best level since April. See full story on August’s jump in housing starts

Yet given the still-shaky economy, some analysts believe the U.S. central bank might at the least hint at resuming programs such as buying Treasury and mortgage bonds to keep a lid on borrowing costs.

The Fed’s gathering came a day after the National Bureau of Economic Research said the longest U.S. recession since the Great Depression ended last June. See full story on the NBER’s recession-is-over determination.

The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog.

A read of Tuesday's 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,572.73 up 46.2 or 0.44% from Friday's close of 10,607.85. For the year the Dow is up 3.82%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 29 gained and only Cisco CSCO $21.7499 -0.1126 0.52% 55,738,926 NASDAQ-GS declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Amex AXP $43.12 +1.75 4.23% 11,832,776 NYSE. The only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco.

WSJ pC1 "Sept rally lifts Dow to 4 month high" by Mark Gongloff says typically an awful month for stocks, Sept has so far brought almost nothing but up days, including Mon fueled partly by cash rich firms pelting shareholders with money in mergers, dividends & share buybacks, notably in the tech sector. IBM gained more than 1% on Mon after it said it agreed to buy data specialist Netezza for $1.78 bil.

WSJ pC5 "Discover, Lennar lead the surge" by Kristina Peterson says stocks rallied to their highest level in moe than 4 months as encouraging fin'l and home builder earnings boosted confidence in the economic recovery. Leading the blue chips American Express gained 1.75 or 4.2% while JPMorgan rose 1.13% or 2.8% and Bank of America climbed 34 cents. Netezza is charted under Good News as IBM agreed to buy ti for $1.78 bil.

Fin Times p26 "Deal activity and hope of economic aid lift confidence" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks broke out of their summer trading range as investor confidence was boosted by more deal activity and speculation that the Fed Res could introduce further quantitative easing.

NYT pB10 'Rally keeps momentum into 4th week" by AP says stocks extended their Sept rally into a 4th week Mon as investors hoped for more moves by the Fed Res to prop up the economy.

USA Today p4B "Stocks surge as double dip fears ease" by Bllomberg says stocks rose Mon, sending the S&P 500 to a 4 month high, after home builder Lennar beat analysts' earnings estimates and IBM announced a $1.7 bil takeover.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,420.87 up 19.27 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,401.60. 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 19.27 for Monday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Monday's Dow of 145.77. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.36 up 0.64 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.72. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.16 (JPM/AXP) up 1.80 from Friday's Dow Jones median price of 40.36. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.41 +1.34 1.56% 3,665,878 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.74 +0.34 2.54% 130,594,562 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $1,920 ($142,080 - 140,160).

MarketWatch 9/20/10 Monday 4:34 pm by Kristina Peterson says U.S. stocks closed at their highest level in more than four months on Monday, one day ahead of a Federal Reserve meeting as encouraging financial and home builder earnings boosted confidence in the economic recovery. Bulls’ bid to extend a three-week winning streak was also helped after the group in charge of dating the starts and ends of economic downturns declared that the U.S. recession ended last summer. “It doesn’t mean growth is robust, but it is growth,” Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners, said of Monday’s declaration by the National Bureau of Economic Research that the longest U.S. recession since World War II ended in June 2009. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,754, +145.77, +1.37%) gained 145.77 points, or 1.4%, to end at 10,753.62, its highest close since May 13. All but one of the Dow’s 30 components rose, including International Business Machines Corp. (IBM 131.75, -0.04, -0.03%) , which was up 1.2% after the company said it would buy business-software firm Netezza Corp. (NZ 28.47, +0.20, +0.71%) for $1.7 billion. “Companies are flush with cash, and valuations are pretty cheap, so I would think M&A is only going to accelerate for the next six months,” said Maris Ogg, president at Tower Bridge Advisors. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,143, +17.12, +1.52%) rose 17.12 points, or 1.5%, to 1,142.71, led by a 2% jump in financials. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,356, +40.22, +1.74%) advanced 40.22 points, or 1.7%, to 2,355.83. Nearly five stocks advanced for every one on the decline on the New York Stock Exchange, where 955 million shares traded. The NBER report propelled the S&P 500 past levels not breached since May, with investor sentiment already having been bolstered when home builder Lennar Corp. (LEN 15.14, +1.15, +8.22%) topped forecasts, reporting a better-than-expected quarterly profit and a drop in orders that proved less dreary than those experienced by others in its industry. “Buyers were able to take the S&P above 1,131 resistance. If the S&P closes above 1,131, rally hats will be on,” Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., wrote in a note. The National Association of Home Builders reported that its monthly index of builder sentiment remained unchanged in September at an 18-month low. In its report, the NBER cautioned that its finding did not represent a forecast about the future, saying that if another downturn occurs it would represent a separate recession — a scenario viewed as unlikely by most economists — rather than the much-discussed “double dip.” Investor sentiment has turned “more positive because the economic news has been better than feared, so it’s more a sigh of relief,” Ogg said of Wall Street’s recent climb. Gold futures settled at their third consecutive record high on speculation about further stimulative U.S. government action ahead of Tuesday’s meeting of the Federal Reserve’s rate-setting committee. Worries over the possibility for more economic stimulus weighed on the dollar, sending it lower against both the euro and the yen. Demand for Treasurys was mixed, with the two-year note (UST2YR 0.46, -.00, -0.86%) flat, but the 10-year note /quotes/comstock/31*!ust10y (UST10Y 2.71, -0.04, -1.39%) up, pushing its yield down to 2.70%. Crude-oil prices rose above $76 a barrel.
