Post No. 661 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 Friday at 10,829.68 up 41.63 or 0.39% from Thursday's close of 10,788.05.. For the week the Dow is down 30.98 or 0.28% from last Friday's close fo 10,860.66. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies, 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $135.64 1+.50 1.12% 5,594,538 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $38.81 +0.75 1.97% 38,878,218 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $40.77 -1.30 3.09% 62,882,277 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 14.56 (year ago it was 15.34) the P/E estimate is 12.84 (year ago it was 15.48) and the current dividend yield is 2.61 (it was 2.96 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 1,430.92 up 5.50 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,425.42. 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 5.50 for Friday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in Friday's Dow of 41.63. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.70 up 0.19 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.51. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.27 (AXP/HPQ). The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.62 +0.91 1.05% 3,194,594 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.3 +0.1975 1.51% 168,083,571 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 $1,110 ($143,640 - $142,530).

MarketWatch 10/1/10 Friday 4:38 pm by Steven Russolillo & Kate Gibson says
US stocks kicked off the fourth quarter on a positive note, rising modestly even as a plethora of economic reports, including key manufacturing data, yielded conflicting signals. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,830, +41.63, +0.39%) closed up 42 points, or 0.4%, to 10,830. But the blue-chip index fell 0.3% for the week and snapped a four-week winning streak. J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM 38.82, +0.01, +0.03%) was the Dow’s top gainer, rising 2%, and Bank of America (BAC 13.30, +0.20, +1.51%) gained 1.7%. Friday’s gains come after the Dow surged 7.7% last month, its best September performance since 1939, and rallied 10.4% in the third quarter, its best quarterly performance in a year. Investors are hesitant to put more money into the market at the start of October due to skepticism that the strength seen in September can continue without a pullback. “The fact that we were so ahead of ourselves in September just does not bode well for October,” said Chip Cobb, senior vice president at Bryn Mawr Trust Asset Management. “People just are not willing to commit the money at this point.” The Nasdaq composite (COMP 2,371, +2.13, +0.09%) edged up 0.1% to 2371. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (SPX 1,146, +5.04, +0.44%) rose 0.4% to 1146, led by the energy and materials sectors. The index earlier climbed to as high as 1,150. Traders noted that the S&P 500 has risen above that level in recent days but hasn’t decisively risen above it, adding to the market’s volatility. Trading was jittery after the Institute for Supply Management said the U.S. manufacturing sector expanded in September, but at a slower pace than in August. The benchmark index for airline stocks hits a three-year high as Continental Airlines and the parent for United close their merger deal and begin trading under the symbol UAL. The ISM’s manufacturing purchasing managers index fell to 54.4 from 56.3 in August. Readings above 50 indicate expanding activity, and September was the 14th consecutive month of growth. But investors said certain data points triggered alarm about the economy’s health. “Some of the data points had a lot of weakness in the layers,” said Seth Setrakian, partner and co-head of trading at First New York Securities, a proprietary trading firm. “Backlogs and new orders were down and inventories were way up, which portends declining economic growth in the next few quarters.”
Investors also continued to stew over the possibility of the Federal Reserve taking further action to stimulate the economy. Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William Dudley said on Friday that the central bank is almost certain to have to offer fresh support to ensure that already tepid economic growth doesn’t further falter, although he stopped short of saying what type of stimulus he prefers. Still, further quantitative easing may not erase all the economy’s problems, traders said. “At a certain point, people realize it’s only going to have so much of an impact,” Setrakian said. “The economic numbers are going to start to matter again.” Better-than-expected U.S. personal income and spending data as well as positive Chinese manufacturing figures also fueled Friday’s moves. The Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index ticked up a bit in September. December gold futures (GCZ10 1,320, +10.80, +0.83%) rose and hit another all-time intra-day high. Crude-oil futures hit a seven-week high, while the U.S. dollar fell against other major currencies. The euro (EURUSD 1.3789, +0.0160, +1.1740%) rose to a new six-month high and was recently trading at $1.3787, up from $1.3632 late Thursday in New York. Among stocks in focus, Dow component Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 40.72, -0.05, -0.12%) fell 3% after it appointed Leo Apotheker as its new chief executive. Apotheker, former SAP CEO, replaces Mark Hurd, who resigned last month amid a sexual-harassment investigation. Gymboree (GYMB 50.25, +0.39, +0.78%) shares surged 20% after The Wall Street Journal reported the children’s clothing retailer is exploring interest in a possible sale of the firm to private-equity companies.

Below are excerpts from Friday 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 10,788.05 down 47.23 or 0.44% from Thursday's close of 10,739.31. For the year the Dow is up 3.45%. Of the Dow 30, 8 gained and 22 declined.

WSJ pC10 "Dow slips 47.23, closing strong Sept." by Kristina Peterson says stocks slipped as investors took a step back at the conclusion of the market's strongest Sept. in 71 years. The Dow has climbed more than 10% over the past 3 months. Though Sept has traditionally been the market's worst month, the Dow surged 7.7%, notching its biggest monthly point gain since Oct. '02. Caterpillar, which generates a chunk of its rev overseas, declined 1.6%, but the stock surged this quarter. Caterpillar climbed 31% over the past 3 months, best among the Dow's 30 components. Johnson & Johnson slipped Thurs, shedding 0.6% after fed regulators said it should have moved sooner to recall Motrin pills that it discovered were defective in late '08.

Fin Times p26 "Techs, industrials and retailers surge in Sept rally" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks edged lower in spite of a round of better than epected economic data as investors ended a strong quarter by pocketing some of their profits.

NYT pB7 "Wall St slips at end of an upbeat quarter" by Christine Hauser says shares fell Thurs on Wall St, but the broader market ended the 3Q with its strongest 3 month performance in a year.

USA Today p6B "Stocks slip as investors cash in profits" by Bloomberg says US stocks fell Thurs trimming the biggest Sept rally since '39 as investors sold some of the months best performing shares amid speculation that improving economic data will reduce the need for the Fed Res to stimulate growth.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,425.42 down 6.24 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,431.66. 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 6.24 for Thursday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Thursday's Dow of 47.23. 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 $47.51 down 0.21 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.72. 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 Travelers TRV $52.1 +0.11 0.21% 3,280,267 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.1025 -0.0075 0.06% 148,937,783NYSE.

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 630 ($143,160 - $142,530).

MarketWatch 9/30/10 Thursday 5:03 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. market ended their best September performance since 1939 with a slight loss, weighed by month-end positioning and some uncertainty over the economy ahead of a key manufacturing report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,788, -47.23, -0.44%) fell 47.23 points, or 0.4%, to 10,788.05 Thursday. The S&P 500 Index (S 4.63, +0.03, +0.65%) lost 3.53 points, or 0.3%, to 1,141.20. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,369, -7.94, -0.33%) dropped 7.94 points, or 0.3%, to 2,368.62. “Today is really all about nothing. Being the last day of the quarter there is a lot of noise, with window dressing or taking stuff off the table,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. The session’s slide barely put a dent in big monthly gains: The Dow industrials rose 7.7% and the S&P 500 gained 8.8%, with both scoring their best September in 71 years. Stocks post their best September in decades, even as the economy continues to show only tepid signs of recovery, with a drop in jobless claims and slight improvement in GDP. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 12% for the month, its best September since 1998. For the third quarter, the Dow has risen 10%, the S&P 500 has gained 11% and the Nasdaq Composite has advanced 12%. Stocks rallied early in the session after reports pointed to strength in the U.S. economy, including a bigger-than-anticipated drop in weekly jobless claims and a slight upward revision to U.S. economic growth for the second quarter. The market’s turn came after the measure of manufacturing activity in the Chicago area improved in September, but also showed a softening in the employment component. “The employment subcomponent of the Chicago [purchasing managers index] was weaker than expected, falling to 53.4 from 55.5; if anything, that may hold the cards,” said John Brady, senior vice president at MF Global. “The Chicago number was good, but we have to see ISM tomorrow, because other regionals have been weak,” said Boockvar. The Institute for Supply Management’s September survey of manufacturers is scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern. Economists polled by MarketWatch are expecting a drop to 54% from 56.3%. American International Group Inc. (AIG 39.10, +1.65, +4.41%) was among the notable advancers, with shares up 4.4% after the insurer and the U.S. government agreed on a plan for the company to repay its $182.3 billion taxpayer bailout. Read more about AIG’s government exit plan. Advancers edged just past decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.3 billion shares traded.
