Post No. 624 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.

A read of 9/6/10 issue of Barron's, Sunday and Sat's New York Times, Saturday's Wall St. Journal & Financial Times, Mon, Sun & Sat's Atlanta Journal Constitution & Sept 3 - 9, 2010 Atlanta Business Chronicle 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: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. For the year the Dow is up 1.99%. 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.

WSJ pB1 "Blue chips snap a 3 week skid, erasing much of a dismal Aug" by Jonathan Cheng & Kirstina Peterson says investors sailed into the long weekend on a hihg note as a better than expected jobs report boosted stocks to a 4 day run that has erased almost all of Aug's slump.

WSJ pB2 "Caterpillar, IBM lead gains" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks climbed with JP Morgan Chase, Caterpillar & IBM leading the charge as a better than expected jobs report for Aug helped the market snap a 3 week losing streak. All 30 of the Dow firms rose with JPMorgan being the best performer with an increase of 2.7% while Caterpillar was up 2.3% and IBM was up 2%. Walt Disney tacked on 76 cents.

Sat. NYT pB6 "Wall St finishes higher for the week" by Christine Hauser says indexes on Wall St ended the week higher propelled by a better than expected report on the nation's job market.

As of the close 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 14.10 up from Friday's open of 13.92 (year ago it was 15.23) the P/E estimate is 12.50 up from Friday's 12.02 (year ago it was 14.91) and the current dividend yield is 2.69 down from Friday's 2.72 (it was 3.00 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.
