Post No. 684 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 11,062 down 31.79 or 0.29% from Thursday's close of 11,094.57. For the week the Dow was up 56.3 or 0.51% from last Friday's Close of 11,006.48. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 11 gained, 2 (Intel & Alcoa) were unchanged and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $42.82 +0.69 1.64% 23,620,801 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $37.15 -1.57 4.05% 141,768,107 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 14.91 unchanged from Thursday's P/E ratio of 14.91 (year ago it was 16.11) the P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Thursday'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 2.54 (it was 2.78 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 1,461.62 down 4.3 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,465.92. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.72 down 0.14 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.86. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.12 (AXP/jpm) down 2.67 from Thursday's median price of $40.79. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $89.14 +0.07 0.08% 3,097,026 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $11.98 -0.62 4.92% 596,222,235 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 lost $432 ($146,592 - $146,160).

MarketWatch 10/15/10 Friday 4:36 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished mostly higher on Friday, after strong earnings from Google Inc. helped offset concerns over a foreclosure crisis for financials. Peter Hooper, chief economist at Deutsche Bank Securities, tells MarketWatch's Greg Robb that a second round of quantitative easing won't provide a big boost to the economy but could help stabilize it. In addition, comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reinforced investors’ expectations for more stimulus from the central bank, but some began to question whether the market has overly priced that in. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,063, -31.79, -0.29%) still fell 31.79 points, or 0.3%, to 11,062.78. General Electric (GE 16.30, -0.86, -5.01%) was the measure’s worst performer, falling 5% as the conglomerate’s revenue came in short of Wall Street’s expectations. Financial stocks were also weak as concerns over the foreclosure crisis persisted. Bank of America Corp. (BAC 11.99, +0.01, +0.08%) fell 4.9% as S&P Equity Research cut its investment rating on the bank’s shares to hold from strong buy, citing concerns that it may be less prepared than peers for future mortgage repurchase demands. J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM 37.35, +0.20, +0.54%) dropped 4%. Read more in Financial Stocks.
“The risk is if there’s wrongdoing or things were wrong, they may be responsible for buying back some of these mortgages which would put pressure on their earnings,” said David Bellantonio, head of U.S. trading at Instinet. “The weakness in the banks is keeping pressure on the market.” Still, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,469, +33.39, +1.37%) climbed 1.4% to 2,468.77, boosted by an 11% jump in Google (GOOG 602.02, +0.57, +0.10%) .The Internet search giant reported a 32% rise in third-quarter profit, beating Wall Street estimates. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index (SPX 1,176, +2.38, +0.20%) rose 0.2% to 1,176.19 as strength in the technology sector offset declines across financials. The mixed activity came as Bernanke made a case Friday morning for new steps by the Fed to boost economic growth. The speech reinforced expectations for more stimulus measures but prompted some confusion over whether the market may have been anticipating a bigger move than the Fed may be planning. Bernanke makes case for cautious easing. “The market has run for a month on Mr. Bernanke saying he might provide more liquidity,” noted Russell Napier, global strategist at CLSA. “It travels on expectations but it can’t travel forever on expectations.” Napier said Bernanke’s comments indicated the Fed may be considering measures with less magnitude than the level of support investors have been pricing in. “There would appear — all else being equal — to be a case for further action,” Bernanke said. But as the Fed contemplates doing more, Bernanke said officials “will take account of the potential costs and risks” of pursuing unconventional policies, and anything that is done will be “contingent on incoming information about the economic outlook and financial conditions.” Bernanke noted inflation was running below the Fed’s objective of 2% and that the economy was on a course to grow too slowly to bring down unemployment. Data released Friday showed the seasonally adjusted consumer price index for September rose by 0.1% from August while the underlying inflation rate was unchanged in September. Among other data released Friday, the Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index indicated the consumer mood darkened in early October, but September retail sales and October New York manufacturing activity improved more than expected. Read more on consumer prices. In addition, inventories at U.S. businesses rose more than expected in August, but business sales didn’t rise as much as the inventories. Read more on retail sales. The U.S. dollar index, (DXY 76.98, +0.33, +0.43%) , which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of six others, edged up 0.4%. Treasurys were mixed, with the two-year slightly higher, pushing its yield down to 0.36%. The 10-year note (UST10Y 2.56, +0.06, +2.27%) fell, lifting its yield to 2.57%. Crude-oil futures and gold futures declined. Shares of Mattel (MAT 22.44, -0.01, -0.05%) fell 6.5% as investors were disappointed by slumping revenue at the toy maker’s Fisher-Price division in the third quarter. Seagate Technology PLC (STX 15.59, +0.08, +0.52%) surged 22% after the company said it has been approached by an unnamed party interested in taking the storage-drive maker private, a move that comes as interest in the broad data management sector heats up.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.

A read of Friday's 10/15/10 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 11,094.57 down 1.51 or 0.01% from Wednesday's close of 11,096.08. For the year the Dow is up 7.33%.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $38.72 -1.12 2.81% 75,837,972 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Dow loses its mojo as banks cast a spell on session" by Kristina Peterson says US stocks closed modestly lower, as investors retreated from fin'ls over concerns about banks' foreclosure practices. Verizon said it will sell Apple's iPad the first time Verizon will sell an Apple product and AT&T said it plans to carry the iPad in its stores. Verizon gained 23 cents and AT&T added 3 cents.

Fin times p26 "Wells Fargo's woes over mortgages whip into fin'ls" by Telis Demos says Wells Fargo sparked a sel-off in fin'ls after joining other banks under investor scrutiny for robo signer mortgage practices.

NYT pB8 "Dollar dips as indexes pull back" by Bloomberg says stocks fell on thurs on worries over the banking sector while the dollar continued its slide vs. major currencies.

USA Today "Rally sputters out as markets slip" by Bloomberg says US stocks dipped Thurs, pulling benchmark indexes down from 5 month highs, as fin'l firms slumped aid concern about growing legal scrutiny of home foreclosure practices. Bank of America slid more than 4% as did Citi and Wells.

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.
