Post No. 655 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 Friday'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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: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. For the year the Dow is up 2.25%. 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.

WSJ pC1 "Gold nearer to $1,300; Dow slumps" by Jonathan Cheng says investors pulled back from stocks for a 2nd straight day as gold inched closwer to the $1,300 oz level.

WSJ pC5 "Red Hat climbs 9%; Disney, GE fall back" by David Benoit says weakness in US jobless figures & in European economic data knocked blue chips into the red for the 2nd straight day. Disney was the weakest Dow component falling 87 cents, GE lost 36 cents and JPMorgan lost 84 Cents.

Fin Times p22 "Investors shaken by more bad news on the jobless front" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks slid back under the key 1,130 level led by losses for fin'ls and industrials after initial jobless claims unexpectedly climbed for the first time in 4 weeks. Industries dropped with Boeing sinking 2%.

NYT pB9 "Dreary data on jobs & Europe cools enthusiasm on Wall St" by AP says a Sept stock rally weakened on Thurs as investors were disappointed by a jump in unemployment claims and more signs of trouble for Europe's economy.

USA Today p6B "Stocks drop on news about jobs, banks" by Bloomberg says US stocks fell Thurs sending the S&P 500 lower for a 3rd day, as a deteriorating profit outlook for banks and an increase in jobless claims overshadowed a rally in tech shares.

As of the open of the market Friday, 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 14.39 down from Thursday's 14.49 (year ago it was 15.66) the P/E estimate is 12.76 unchanged from Thursday's 12.76 (year ago it was 15.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.65 up from Thursday's 2.63 (it was 2.90 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.
