Post No. 652 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 Wednesday at 10,739.31 down 21.72 or 0.20% from Tuesday's close of 10,761.03. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 12 gained and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Pfizer PFE $17.22 +0.079 0.46% 51,902,880 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $11.7 +0.53 4.74% 44,145,827 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was JPMorgan JPM $39.94 -0.65 1.6% 34,561,750 NYSE and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $24.61 -0.54 2.15% 94,206,833 NASDAQ-GS NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 14.52 up from Monday's 14.51 (year ago it was 15.8678) 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 unchanged from Monday's 2.62 (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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,418.98 down 2.87 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,421.85. 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 decrease of 02.87 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Wednesday's Dow of 21.72. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.30 down 0.59 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.39. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.17 (JPM/AXP) up 0.13 from Tuesday's Dow Jones median price of 41.04. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.63 +0.08 0.09% 2,464,102 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.42 -0.23 1.68% 140,731,878 NYSE.

If Wednesday 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 $272 ($142,170 - $141,898).

MarketWatch 9/22/10 Wednesday 4:54 pm by Jonathan Cheng says stocks fell to break a five-day winning streak, as investors worried about the implications of further Treasury buying by the Federal Reserve. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,739, -21.72, -0.20%) ended down 21.72 points, or 0.2%, at 10,739.31, with 18 of its 30 components declining. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (SPX 1,134, -5.50, -0.48%) lost 5.51 points, or 0.5%, to 1,134.27, held down by the financials sector, which fell 1.6%. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,335, -14.80, -0.63%) dropped 14.80 points, or 0.6%, to 2,334.55. Gold (GCZ10 1,293, +18.30, +1.44%) rallied to a record high, closing at $1,292.10 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar continued to fall sharply against its major rivals as investors weighed the prospects of the Fed stepping in again to support the economic recovery. The moves extended Tuesday’s action, which saw Treasurys and gold surge and the dollar plunge. Stocks, meanwhile, dropped after trading in a tight belt of less than 100 points amid sluggish trading volumes. About four billion shares changed hands in New York Stock Exchange composite volume, far below the year’s average of five billion shares. “We expect the volatility to continue,” said Robert Zagunis, co-portfolio manager and chairman of the investment committee at Jensen Investment Management. “There are still a lot of housing and employment issues that aren’t resolved.” The indexes were weighed down by a pullback in technology stocks after a strong month that had seen the Nasdaq gain 11% coming into the current session. Adobe Systems shares saw a sharp drop Wednesday morning, dragging down the S&P tech sector, after the company's fourth-quarter guidance disappointed investors. Microsoft /(MSFT 24.62, +0.01, +0.04%) fell 2.2% to lead the Dow’s decliners after the tech giant said late Tuesday it would raise its quarterly dividend payable to shareholders to 16 cents a share from 13 cents a share. Dan Genter, chief investment and executive officer of RNC Genter Capital Management in Los Angeles, said the pullback in Microsoft’s stock came after a strong run-up, and widespread expectations that a dividend increase was coming. Adobe Systems (ADBE 26.68, +0.01, +0.04%) shares plunged 19% after its fourth-quarter earnings and revenue forecast fell below market expectations. Financials were also a heavy weight on the market, with J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM 39.99, +0.05, +0.13%) , Citigroup /(C 3.89, +0.01, +0.26%) and Goldman Sachs Group (GS 148.20, +0.13, +0.09%) shedding between 1.5% and 2.2% each. The downturns came after a pair of high-level departures from the government’s economic team, Wall Street bailout figures Herbert Allison and Lawrence Summers. Limiting losses on the blue-chip index was Alcoa /(AA 11.70, +0.53, +4.74%) , which led the Dow’s advancers with a 4.7% gain as Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT 146.55, +0.22, +0.15%) moved to block a takeover bid by Anglo-Australian miner BHP Billiton (BHP 74.88, +0.41, +0.56%) . BHP rose 1.3% while Potash slipped 0.7%. A dearth of economic data left investors without any major signposts on the health of the recovery, leaving investors focused on the Fed. Some investors waved off the Fed’s language as empty “jawboning,” while others found reasons for encouragement in the Fed statement. Ted Harper, co-manager of the Frost Dividend Value Equity Fund, said the Fed’s statement was reassuring, putting a limit to how far the economy could potentially slide before authorities intervene again. “The Fed has basically put an implied floor into the market at least in the near term, and we’ve been reallocating to a more cyclical posture relative to where we’ve been in the past,” Mr. Harper said. Even so, he acknowledged the skepticism in the market. “The economy continues to be in recovery mode. It’s just not coming to a pace where a lot of people are comfortable making that more constructive call on the market,” he said. Treasurys were mixed, with the two-year note falling after a day of gains that pushed yields (UST2YR 0.43, +0.01, +1.89%) to a record low. The benchmark 10-year note gained, sending yields (UST10Y 2.56, -0.02, -0.85%) down to 2.55%. Copper and silver were two strong gainers. Copper posted its biggest one-day jump since the beginning of the month, gaining 2.4%, while silver rose 2% to a fresh 2010 high. “I don’t think we’re heading for another leg down,” said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at Financial Network. “Railcar loadings are way up, and people are buying lots of raw materials -- they wouldn’t be doing that unless they thought they could sell whatever they could make.” The dollar fell broadly after the Fed’s statement heightened concerns about the strength of the greenback. The euro (EURUSD 1.3393, +0.0001, +0.0075%) pared earlier gains but added 1.1% to trade at $1.3394 while the yen strengthened to trade at 84.52 yen to the dollar. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY 79.83, -0.61, -0.76%) , which tracks the greenback against six other currencies, fell 0.8%. Read about the dollar, euro. Among stocks, General Mills (GIS 36.89, +0.26, +0.72%) added 2.7% after the cereal maker said first-quarter earnings rose to 70 cents a share from 62 cents a share in the same period a year ago. BlackBerry maker Research in Motion (RIMM 47.60, -0.03, -0.06%) saw its shares gain 1% after The Wall Street Journal reported the company could unveil its answer to Apple’s (AAPL 287.90, +0.15, +0.05%) iPad tablet computer as soon as next week. European stocks fell, with the Stoxx Europe 600 index (ST:SXXP 261.19, -3.82, -1.44%) shedding 1.4%. Asian markets finished mixed, with Japanese exporters weighing on the Nikkei Stock Average (JP:NI225 9,566, -35.79, -0.37%) , which closed down 0.4%, but Hong Kong stocks hit a five-month high as property developers gained.

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

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

Dow: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. For the year the Dow is up 3.19%. 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 was 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.

WSJ pC1 "Fed's signals push down dollar, yields" by Jonathan Cheng says investors braced for the prospect of further actions by the Fed to hold down interest rates, dumping the dollar and buying Treasurys and gold ahead of anotehr potential burst of gov buying of Treasurys. 2 year Treasury yields fell to another low of .432% while gold surged after the Fed Res hinted it is worried about how the low level of inflation, suggesting it may start a new round of stimulus to bolster the economy.

WSJ pC6 "Caterpillar, HP rise, Legg mason retreats" by Steven Russolillo says blue chip stocks finished slightly higher for a 5th straight session led by Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Intel after the Fed Res hinted it could take add'l measures to stimulate economic growth.

Fin Times p24 "S&P retreats after Fed stance on rates rattles investors" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks finished an afternoon of choppy trading lower as the Fed Res said that it was prepared to take action to bolster the economic recovery.

NYT pB8 "Weakness on Wall St after fed decision" by Ap says shares on Wall St got a brief bump on Tues after word that the Fed Res was ready to do more to help the ecnoomy, but indexes ended mostly lower after the central bank disappointed some investors by not taking any bold new actions.

USA Today p6B "Stocks mixed as traders fret about Fed" by Bloomberg says the stock market was mixed Tues, pulling the S&P 500 down from a 4 month high, as investors bought Treasuries amid speculation the Fed Res will purchase more gov debt to buoy the economy.

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. “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 the 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 (DJIA 10,761, +7.41, +0.07%) eked out only a fractional gain, helped by a 2.2% advance in shares Caterpillar Inc. (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 professionals, 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 (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. 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. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude futures fell to under $74 a barrel.
