Post No. 621 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 8/17/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 8/17/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,447.93 up 127.83 or 1.24% from Thursday's close of 10,320.19.47. For the week the Dow is up297.28 or 2.93% from last Friday's close of 10,150.65. Of the 30 Dow Companies: all 0 gained and none declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $127.58+ 2.54 2.03% 5,144,355 NYSE and percentage-wise was NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $21.04 +0.52 2.53% 54,485,164 NASDAQ-GS NYSE.

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 13.92 up from Thursday's 13.86 (year ago it was 15.08) the P/E estimate is 12.02 unchanged from Thursday's 12.02 (year ago it was 15.08) and the current dividend yield is 2.72 down from Thursday's 2.74 (it was 3.03 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 1,380.48 up 16.89 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,363.59. 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 16.98 for Friday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Friday's Dow of 127.83. 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 $46.02 up 0.57 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.45. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.07 (AXP/HPQ) up 0.79 from Thursday's Dow Jones median price of $40.28. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.48 +1.61 1.97% 2,939,611 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.5 +0.22 1.66% 141,624,900 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 $1,689 ($138,048 - $136,359).

MarketWatch 9/3/10 Friday 4:24 pm by Kristina Peterson & Johnathan Cheng says investors pushed stocks up for the fourth day in a row, sailing into the long weekend on a high note as an encouraging jobs report sent stocks to their best pre-Labor Day week in two decades. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,448, +127.83, +1.24%) finished up 127.98 points, or 1.24%, to 10447.93, putting the Dow up 2.9% on the week -- its first positive weekly showing since the beginning of August. The Dow also edged back into positive territory for the year. The market leaped after nonfarm payrolls data showed jobs slowing at half the rate predicted by economists. The Labor Department said the U.S. lost 54,000 jobs last month, about half of what economists had expected and matching the level of revised losses recorded the previous month. The unemployment rate, calculated using a separate household survey, edged up to 9.6%, as expected, from 9.5% for the previous two months. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,234, +33.74, +1.53%) rose 1.53% to 2233.75, up 3.7% on the week. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index (SPX 1,105, +14.41, +1.32%) tacked on 1.32% to 1104.47, putting its advance for the week at 3.7%. Goldman Sachs Group (GS 147.36, +0.07, +0.05%) rose 5.4% as financial stocks led the day's and week's gains. Morgan Stanley (MS 26.61, -0.05, -0.19%) gained 3.8%, J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM 39.16, -0.01, -0.03%) added 2.7% and Genworth Financial (GNW 12.03, +0.68, +5.99%) advanced 6%. Friday's jobs numbers followed recent reports on manufacturing and housing that also came in above expectations, extending a notable reversal from a long string of disappointing data that had driven the Dow's biggest August drop since 2001. Volume was light, with about 3.6 billion shares changing hands in NYSE composite trading, short of 2010's daily average of about five billion shares. The strong start to the month comes as investors have been encouraged that a double-dip recession may be avoided. But the economic recovery still looks weak; data released Friday by the Institute for Supply Management showed a slowing expansion in the U.S. nonmanufacturing sector last month. The U.S. Dollar Index 0 (DXY 82.02, -0.45, -0.54%) , reflecting the U.S. currency against a basket of six others, declined 0.5%. Treasurys slipped, pushing the yield on the 10-year note (UST10Y 2.71, +0.09, +3.31%) up to 2.71%. Crude-oil futures dropped to $74.34 a barrel, while gold futures also slipped. On the deals front, Goldcorp (GG 42.88, +0.04, +0.09%) slipped 2.3% after the gold miner agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of Andean Resources (CA:AND 6.98, +2.17, +45.11%) for $3.4 billion. Andean's principal asset is the Cerro Negro gold project located in Argentina. Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (TTWO 9.48, -0.02, -0.21%) rallied 10% after the company reported an unexpected quarterly profit and said it expects a fiscal-year profit. Tax-preparation company H&R Block Inc. (HRB 13.40, +0.10, +0.75%) climbed 5.8% after reporting a smaller-than-expected loss from continuing operations. Campbell Soup Co. (CPB 36.22, +0.01, +0.03%) slipped 2.4% after its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings jumped 64% on prior-year write-downs, but revenue at its soup business weakened.

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

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 10,320.1 up 50.63 or 0.49% from Wednesday's close of 10,269.47. For the year the Dow is down 1.04%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing BA $63.39 +1.10 1.77% 3,430,169 NYSE and percentage-wise was Aloca AA $10.83 +0.31 2.95% 31,365,093 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $125.04 -0.73 0.58% 5,094,606 NYSE and percentage-wise was MRK $35.35 -0.27 0.76% 11,503,742 NYSE.

WSJ pC7 "Home Depot, Disney help lift blue chips" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks rose with consumer firms including Home Depot, Disney and Walmart leading the gains, following better than expected readings from the housing & retail sectors. Home Depot jumped 74 cents as it got a boost from an unexpected rise in pending home sales as well as a bigger thane expected gain in retailer's same store sale. Also benefiting from improved sentiment on consumer stocks after the reports, Disney rose 40 cents and Walmart rose 56 cents. Hewlett Packard climbed 47 cents as it won the war for 3Par. IBM kept the Dow's gains in check with a drop of 73 cents as investors worried whether HP's deal to buy 3Par might help it better compete with IBM. 3Par is charted under Good News because of the HP buyout.

WSJ pC1 "Dow gain of 50.63 is third in a row" by Jonathan Cheng says stocks mounted an afternoon rally to close near the day's highs as investors awaited jobs data for more guidance on the fragile economic recovery.

Fin Times p22 "Retailers provide uplift amid positive economic figures" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks rose Thur after slightly better than expected data on initial jobless claims, pending home sales and retailers' same store sales boosted investor confidence.

NYT pB6 "Shares rise on news of jobs & housing" by AP says stocks rose Thurs, extending their gains from the day before, after reports on housing, manufacturing and jobs all indicated that the economy continued to grow.

USA Today p4B "Economic reports push stocks higher" by AP says stocks rose Thurs, extending their gains from Wed after reports on housing, manufacturing and jobs all indicated that the economy continues to grow.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,363.59 up 6.70 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,356.89. 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 6.70 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Thursday's Dow of 50.63. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.45 up 0.22 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.23. The median closing price of Thurday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.28 (AXP/HPQ) up 0.14 from Wednesday's Dow Jones median price of $40.14. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81.87 +0.86 1.06% 2,473,875 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.28 +0.0725 0.55% 128,227,811 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 made $670 ($136,359 -$135,689).

MarketWatch 9/2/10 Thursday 2:24 pm by Donna Yesalavich says U.S. stocks meandered between positive and negative territory Thursday as data from the housing and retail sectors provided some encouragement, but anxiety over Friday's jobs report weighed.
Shares of retailers climbed as sales for the key back-to-school buying month of August largely came in better than expected. Nordstrom jumped 6.7%, Limited Brands advanced 4.7% and J.C. Penney added 1.6%. Investors were also heartened by an unexpected increase in pending sales of used homes, a surprising reversal after the index fell two months in a row following the April 30 expiration of a tax credit for buyers. Still, Thursday's round of data had its disappointments. U.S. factory orders rose less than expected in July, while the level of U.S. workers filing new jobless claims last week suggested lingering troubles in the job market and second-quarter productivity fell more than previously thought. In addition, investors haven't yet seen the report they've had the most jitters about--the government's monthly employment data. Unemployment currently stands at 9.5%, and that figure Friday is expected to creep up to 9.6%, with U.S. employers dropping another 110,000 people off the payrolls. Volume was weak, with 2.3 billion shares having changed hands in New York Stock Exchange Composite trading recently. The 2010 daily average is 5.01 billion shares, although the average was lower in August, just over 4 billion shares. The euro edged up to $1.2810, from $1.2803 late Wednesday, after the European Central Bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low 1%, as expected. ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said the ECB would extend its tool box of additional bank funding on a "full allotment" basis, citing continued uncertainties in the economy. The U.S. Dollar Index, reflecting the U.S. currency against a basket of six others, slipped 0.1%. Treasurys were mixed, with an increase in the two-year note pushing its yield down to 0.50% while a decline in the 10-year note lifted its yield to 2.64%. Crude-oil futures edged up, as did gold futures.
Among stocks in focus, Burger King Holdings soared 24% as the fast-food retailer confirmed that 3G Capital has signed a deal to buy the company for $24 a share.
Meanwhile, computer maker Dell withdrew from the bidding war for 3Par, surrendering the storage maker to rival Hewlett-Packard after the tech company lifted its offer to $2.1 billion; 3Par, which makes storage products used in cloud computing, accepted H-P's offer, valuing the company at $33 a share. H-P edged up 0.7%, while Dell rose 2% and 3Par climbed 2.4%.
