Post No. 654 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 Thursday at 10,662.42 down 76.89 or 0.72% from Wednesday's close of 10,739.31. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 4 gained and 26 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $40.15 +0.60 1.52% 22,904,839 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $62.65 -1.25 1.96% 3,617,010 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $33.12 -0.87 2.56% 18,027,269 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.49 down from Wednesday's 14.52 (year ago it was 15.73) the P/E estimate is 12.76 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.76 (year ago it was 15.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.63up from Wednesday's 2.62 (it was 2.89 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 1,408.82 down 10.16 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,418.98. 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 10.16 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Thursday's Dow of 76.89. 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 $46.96 down 0.34 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.30. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.73 (JPM/AXP) down 0.44 from Wednesday's Dow Jones median price of 41.17. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $85.53 -1.10 1.27% 1,987,361 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.17 -0.25 1.86% 152,809,192 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 $1,018 ($141,898 - $140,880).

MarketWatch 9/23/10 Thursday 5:04 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended Thursday’s session lower after rising U.S. jobless claims and disappointing European economic data fed pessimism about the recovery.
“Stocks right now are priced for a double-dip recession. I don’t think that’s going to happen, but for right now the perception is very negative, and there isn’t enough change in reality to change the perception,” David Kelly, chief market strategist at JPMorgan Funds, of the mixed economic reports. “The pullback is partly a lack of fresh retail money going into the market,” Kelly added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,662, -76.82, -0.72%) ended down 76.89 points, or 0.7%, at 10,662.42, with all but four of its 30 components declining. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX 1,125, -9.45, -0.83%) fell 9.45, or 0.8%, to 1,124.83, with financial companies falling the hardest among its sectors and technology stocks off the least.
Red Hat shares surge after the software maker reports profit that exceeds analysts' expectations. The company's stock has risen more than 30% this year. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,327, -7.47, -0.32%) fell 7.47 points, or 0.3%, to 2,327.08. Ahead of Wall Street’s start, stock index futures fell after the Labor Department said first-time claims for jobless benefits rose last week after a two-week decline. In Europe, Ireland’s economy contracted in the second-quarter, raising concern that austerity measures have only worsened the outlook for the economy and sovereign debt in the euro zone, where PMI data came in worse than expected.

Wall Street had lessened its losses after the Conference Board reported its index of leading economic indicators rose 0.3% in August. “Today’s report indicates upward momentum, consistent with our view the economy will pick up again after a soft second quarter,” Nicholas Tenev, an analyst at Barclays Capital, said in a note. Separately, the National Association of Realtors said resales of single-family homes and condos rebounded 7.6% in August.“A little better-than-expected existing home sales preceded by a bounce in Apple Inc. (AAPL 289.47, +0.55, +0.19%) and the semiconductors set the stage for a terrific recovery,” noted Elliot Spar, chief market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus, about the earlier rebound. But the recovery stalled in the late afternoon, with the major indexes again lapsing into negative territory. For every stock on the rise two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 951 million shares traded.

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.
