Post No. 682 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 Thursday at 11,094.57 down 1.51 or 0.01% from Wednesday's close of 11,096.08. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 12 gained and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonalds MCD $77.04 +1.29 1.7% 6,544,329 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $38.72 -1.12 2.81% 75,837,972 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.91 up from Wednesday's P/E ratio of 14.87 (year ago it was 16.04) the P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 13.15 (year ago it was 15.84) and the current dividend yield is 2.54 down from yesterday's yield of 2.56 (it was 2.79 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 1,465.92 down 0.19 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,466.11. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in today's Dow. 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 $48.86 down 0.01 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.87. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.79 (HPQ/AXP) up 1.44 from Wednesday's median price of $39.55. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.07 -0.07 0.08% 2,269,968 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $12.6 --0.69 5.19% 506,783,350 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 $19 ($146,611 - $146,592).

MarketWatch 10/14/10 Thursday 4:30 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks retreated Thursday, though losses were pared significantly by the close, as weekly jobless claims disappointed and investors fretted about the methods used by banks foreclosing on mortgages. “Banks have been underperforming this whole rally, and for such an important sector to be weighed down by these issues has implications for bank lending and the growth of the economy,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. “The foreclosure paper issues, that will get resolved, but for the major ones that did most of the originating, it’s potentially open-ended, and having to buy back a lot of disputed mortgages is a growing concern,” said Boockvar. After a four-session run-up, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,095, -1.51, -0.01%) fell more than 70 points during the session but a late comeback allowed it to finish down by only 1.51 points at 11,094.57.
Bank of America Corp. (BAC 12.55, -0.05, -0.39%) weighed most on the blue-chip index, off 5.2%, followed by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 38.39, -0.33, -0.85%) , down 2.8%. Both of the large banks have halted home foreclosures as they review their practices. Among the Dow’s minority risers, shares of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ 32.39, -0.05, -0.16%) were up 0.7% after the telecom and Apple Inc. (AAPL 301.76, -0.55, -0.18%) said Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon and Britain’s Vodafone Group PLC (VOD 26.71, -0.05, -0.19%) , would begin selling Apple’s iPad at the end of the month. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,174, -4.29, -0.36%) dropped 4.29 points, or 0.4%, to 1,173.81, with telecom up the most and financials hit the hardest. Since falling to its yearly low in early July, the S&P 500 dropped 0.4% at Wednesday close, with financials the worst performer of the index’s 10 industry sectors during that time. Wednesday’s earnings release from J.P. Morgan explains why, wrote Michael Farr of Farr, Miller & Washington.
“J.P. Morgan is not immune to the larger issues affecting the entire banking industry. The problem, in a nutshell, is a lack of revenue growth. Investors are simply no longer willing to give banks credit for lower credit costs and nothing else,” Farr wrote. Notable movers included Apollo Group Inc. (APOL 37.33, -0.67, -1.76%) , shares of which fell 23% after the operator of the University of Phoenix rescinded its outlook for fiscal 2011, pointing to scrutiny from regulators and a possible 40% drop in new students. Other for-profit educators were also hit, with shares of most suffering double-digit declines. Posting its first lower finish in six sessions, the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,435, -5.85, -0.24%) shed 5.85 points, or 0.2%, to 2,435.38. AOL and private-equity firms are exploring a bid for Yahoo, devising plans to marry two big Internet brands that both face steep challenges. Yahoo Inc. (YHOO 16.02, +0.09, +0.57%) shares surged 4.5% after published reports said the Internet-search company could be an acquisition target of private-equity firms. Rival Google Inc. (GOOG 587.19, +46.26, +8.55%) is scheduled to release its earnings report after the closing bell. For every two stocks advancing, three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.1 billion shares traded. Stock indexes retreated after the government said its count of Americans filing initial applications for unemployment benefits climbed last week. Read more about jobless claims. “The economy should be able to support current fourth-quarter and early 2011 analysts’ earnings estimates. However, the economy still does not appear strong enough to add a meaningful number of jobs,” wrote Fred Dickson, chief market strategist at Davidson Cos. The increase in jobless claims helped push the dollar index (DXY 76.54, -0.53, -0.69%) , a measure of the U.S. currency against those of six other nations, to its lowest level this year. Dollar weakness helps drive the purchase of hard commodities, including gold and equities, “especially those offering a dividend yield above current interest rates,” noted Davidson’s Dickson. Separately, the producer price index — a gauge of how much goods cost at the wholesale level — climbed 0.1% last month, excluding food and energy. Read more about the PPI. Post-recession pressures stemming from excess capacity have kept a lid on most consumer prices, but the scenario might not continue, especially if the dollar continues to slide, said Dickson.

A read of Thursday's 10/14/10 Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times & USA Today 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

On Wed, the US corp. sector joined in with a burst of strong earnings that propelled stocks to a 5 month high. The day's gains were broad with 3/4 of the share volume advancing boosted by higher earnings from Intel and JPMorgan. The better than expected numbers didn't help the 2 firms themselves, which were among the worst blue chip performers. Still, JP organ's remarks on consumer lending lifted credit card firms. Intel's comments on stronger business spending made Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft the three best Dow performers.

WSJ pC5 "Dow industrials hit 5 month high" by Jonathan Cheng says earnings report from JPMorgan and Intel helped lift the broader market even as they stumbled, sending US stocks to a 4th consecutive day of gains. JPMorgan's stumble dragged down Bank of America, which fell 1.7% while credit card firms benefited from JPMorgan saying consumers spent mroe on credit cards. American Express gained 1.9%.

NYT pB10 "Improved earnings help buoy Wall St." by Christine Hauser says upbeat results across three bellwether sectors reassured investors about the economy and drove stocks higher on Wed.

Fin Times p30 "CSX speeds ahead as earnings lead industrials higher" by elisDemos says CSX reported record 3Q earnings which led US industrials to srong gains.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,466.11 up 10 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,456.11. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the increase in today's Dow. 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 $48.87 up 0.33 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.54.
