Post No. 628 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 Wednesday at 10,387.01 up 46.32 or 0.45% from Tuesday's close of 10,340.69. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 6 gained, Disney was unchanged and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $64.5 +1.08 1.7% 3,717,915 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $38.81 -1.11 2.78% 32,727,543 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 13.95 down from Tuesday's 14.10 (year ago it was 15.332) the P/E estimate is 12.50 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.50 (year ago it was 14.91) and the current dividend yield is 2.72 up from Tuesday's 2.69 (it was 2.98 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 1,373.43 up 7.12 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,366.31. 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 7.12 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Wednesday's Dow of 46.32. 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 $45.75up 0.21 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $45.54.

The lowest volume was 3M MMM $82.75 +0.61 0.74% 2,786,913 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.37 +0.16 1.21% 102,365,820 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 made 612 ($137,243 - $136,631).

MarketWatch 9/8/10 Wednesday 4:38 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended higher on Wednesday, as a successful sovereign debt auction in Portugal helped ease concerns about Europe, but with gains capped after the Federal Reserve confirmed the U.S. economy is slowing. In its survey by 12 regional banks, the Fed reported conditions mixed or decelerating in five regions and growing at a moderate pace in five.
In Ohio, President Barack Obama argued for giving tax cuts to Americans making $250,000 or less, and against continuing tax cuts for wealthier Americans, saying the country can't afford the $700 billion price tag. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,387, +46.32, +0.45%) rose 46.32 points, or 0.5%, to end at 10,387.01, about 40 points shy of returning to positive for 2010. Twenty-four of its 30 components rose, with aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. (AA 11.11, +0.04, +0.36%) paving the gains, up 2%. Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 38.85, +0.04, +0.10%) fell the most among the blue chips, losing 2.8% after UBS AG downgraded the computer manufacturer from buy to neutral. UBS also cut Intel Corp. (INTC 17.89, -0.01, -0.06%) , with the chip manufacturer off 1.2%. H-P has been part of an ongoing corporate drama involving former chief executive Mark Hurd, going to court on Tuesday in an effort to block Hurd from joining Oracle Corp. (ORCL 24.14, -0.13, -0.52%) its rival in the server computer market. A regulatory filing Wednesday has Oracle offering the ousted H-P executive a salary of $950,000 and a bonus of as much as $10 million for fiscal 2011, plus stock options, to join it as a co-president. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,099, +7.03, +0.64%) gained 7.03 points, or 0.6%, to 1,098.87, with financial and industrial companies, among the index's 10 industry groups, leading the rise. A rally for retail gainers include Staples and Costco, as both get upgraded by Goldman Sachs. Phillips-Van Heusen also jumps after its adjusted quarterly profit topped estimates, though Talbots disappoints. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,229, +19.98, +0.91%) added 19.98 points, or 0.9%, to 2,228.87. For every stock on the decline, more than two rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 880 million shares traded. After finishing at a record high Tuesday, gold futures fell $1.80 to end at $1,257.5 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while crude-oil futures tallied modest gains to finish at $74.67 a barrel. Shares of BP (BP 38.30, -0.07, -0.18%) gained 3.2% after the British-based energy giant released a report largely blaming contractors Transocean Ltd. (RIG 53.05, -0.69, -1.28%) and Halliburton Co. (HAL 29.98, -0.23, -0.76%) for the U.S.'s worst oil spill. See full story on BP's blame assignment. On Tuesday, Wall Street snapped a four-session run higher amid worries about European banks. But the worries dissipated after Portugal's sale of bonds drew increased demand on Wednesday.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,366.31 down 14.37 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,380.48. 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 14.37 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of 107.24. 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 $45.54 down 0.48 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $46.02. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40 (AXP/HPQ) down 1.07 from Friday's Dow Jones median price of $41.07.

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 lost $1,411 ($138,048 - $136,631).

MarketWatch 9/7/10 Tuesday 4:30 pm by Donna Yesalavich says financial stocks including American Express, J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America led U.S. stocks lower Tuesday as the market cooled off from last week's rally while worries over the health of European banks recirculated. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 107.24 points, or 1.03%, to 10340.69, snapping a four-day winning streak. American Express was the measure's worst performer with a drop of 1.71, or 4.1%, to 40.09. J.P. Morgan was also weak with a decline of 89 cents, or 2.3%, to 38.28, and Bank of America slipped 29 cents, or 2.2%, to 13.21. The Nasdaq Composite fell 24.86, or 1.11%, to 2208.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 index shed 12.67, or 1.15%, to 1091.84. All of the measure's sectors fell, with financials posting the biggest percentage drop. The decline came as skepticism grew over last week's rally, when the Dow had its best pre-Labor Day week in two decades. Meanwhile, questions emerged over the stress tests of European banks, prompting concerns over their health. Stocks' rally last week from a rough August was "probably a little ahead of itself," said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investments at PNC Wealth Management. He noted that last week's climb came as the market "got some pretty good smoke signals that maybe the slowdown in growth wasn't as bad as the market was thinking."
