Post No. 692 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 Wednesday at 11,107.97 down 165.07 or 1.18% from Tuesday's close of 10,978.62. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $71.36 +2.31 3.35% 8,043,067 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.75 -0.05 0.42% 654,214,057 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 14.76 down from Monday's P/E ratio of 14.98 (year ago it was 16.29) the P/E estimate is 13.25 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.25 (year ago it was 16.02) and the current dividend yield is 2.57 up from yesterday's yield of 2.55 (it was 2.77 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 1,467.68 up 17.08 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,450.60. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.92 up 0.57 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.35. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.37 (AXP/JPM) down 0.51 from Tuesday's median price of $38.88. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $89.47 +0.92 1.04% 2,819,219 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.75 -0.05 0.42% 654,214,057 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 $1,708 ($146,768 - $145,060).

MarketWatch 10/20/10 Wednesday 4:40 by Jonathan Cheng says U.S. stocks jumped Wednesday, erasing most of the previous day's bruising losses as a positive outlook from the financial sector and a spate of strong earnings from airlines and other bellwethers gave investors reasons for optimism.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 129.35 points, or 1.18%, to finish at 11107.97, while the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was higher by 12.27 points at 1178.17 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 20.44 points to 2457.39. Materials and energy stocks were two of the best performing sectors, a day after both were clobbered by fears over Beijing's attempts to slow the world's second-largest economy. Cliffs Natural Resources added 3.6%, Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold gained 2.8%, and Massey Energy jumped 5.1% amid reports the Richmond, Va., miner is exploring a potential sale of the company. Transport stocks also soared, with the Dow Jones Transportation Average gaining 2.2% after a trio of airlines reported strong earnings. Delta Air Lines jumped 11% after swinging to a third-quarter profit and reporting strong forward bookings through the holiday season. American Airlines parent AMR Corp. surged 13% after its first profit in two years, while US Airways Group gained 7.4% on strong earnings. JetBlue Airways and United Continental rode the wave of optimism, picking up 6.8% and 7.6% respectively. "People are getting confident that earnings are going to be good this year," said Maris Ogg, president of Tower Bridge Advisors. "Maybe not to the level where we have 75% or 80% of companies beating expectations, but people are more confident the economy is on a more even keel." Intel and Boeing helped advance the broad-based rally, which included all but three of the Dow's 30 components and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500. Boeing added 3.4% to lead the Dow components after the aerospace company said it swung to a quarterly profit from a year-ago loss and lifted its outlook. Intel gained 2.2% after it said it would invest up to $8 billion over several years to upgrade its manufacturing plants in the U.S. and build a new research facility in Oregon. Also contributing were pharmaceutical companies, as Merck gained 1.3% and Pfizer added 1.6%. Even financial stocks joined in the rally, despite continuing worries over mortgage foreclosures.
Morgan Stanley pared deep morning losses to finish down by one penny after the investment bank's net profit fell in the third quarter, and Wells Fargo gained 4.3% after the San Francisco bank posted its best-ever quarterly earnings and made encouraging remarks on the foreclosure issue.
Goldman Sachs Group rose 1.8% after its second consecutive quarterly profit decline, of 40% from a year earlier, surpassed most analyst estimates. BlackRock, however, fell 2.9% even after beating analysts' forecasts with third-quarter earnings rising 74%. Bank of America, at the center of the foreclosure debacle, erased a steep morning decline to finish down 0.4%. Oppenheimer and Stifel both downgraded the stock, and the Charlotte, N.C., lender vowed to fight government-backed demands that it repurchase loans that allegedly didn't meet underwriting guidelines and other promises. "There's still a lot of headline risk around the financials, and that's going to persist for some time," said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investments at PNC Wealth Management. "Most of the banks seem to have their arms around the challenges and they're working through them, adjusting to the new financial regulations and business models. So if you can stomach the headline risk, you're building value over time, but there's still going to be some volatility." United Technologies reversed its morning decline to creep up 0.4% after third-quarter earnings for the maker of Otis elevators and Pratt & Whitney plane engines posted slower-than-expected revenue growth. Abbott Laboratories dropped 0.9% after third-quarter net income fell 40%, while Yahoo added 2% to reverse most of Tuesday's loss after the company reported a surge in profits. Online auctioneer eBay, which finished with a 0.5% gain, added another 7% in after-hours trading after beating earnings expectations.
Sanofi-Aventis added 2.1% on news that U.S. antitrust regulators have given the green light for its proposed acquisition of Genzyme. Genzyme, which also announced third-quarter net income that more than quadrupled on strong product sales, advanced 0.3%. Genzyme is meeting Friday with investors and analysts to provide 2011 financial guidance and make its case that the offer doesn't adequately value its existing business, its recovery plans or its pipeline products. Danish drug maker Novo Nordisk jumped 11% after the Food and Drug Administration sent a rival diabetes drug back for more testing. The makers of that drug fell, with Amylin Pharmaceutical down 46%, Alkermes down 28%, and Eli Lilly down 3.9%.
BHP Billiton rose 3.3% despite a growing likelihood Saskatchewan's government would vote down its proposed $38.6 billion takeover of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, The Wall Street Journal reported. Potash fell 0.7%.
The broad gains came amid continued weakness in the dollar. The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six others, fell 1.3% as the euro jumped to almost $1.40. The yen strengthened to trade at 81.16 yen to the dollar--its strongest finish in 15 years.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury note gained, pushing the yield down to 2.47%. Gold gained, while oil rose to $81.77 a barrel.

The following are excerpts from Wednesday morning's Blog.

A read of Wednesday'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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 10,978.62 down 165.07 or 1.48% from Monday's close of 11,143.69. For the year the Dow is up 7.39%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $138.03 -4.80 3.36% 14,158,901 NYSE
and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.8 -0.54 4.38% 572,914,530 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow declines 165.07 on China, bank jolts" by Jon Cheng says China's move to slow its economy collided with concerns about the foreclosure crisis to roil fin'l markets on Tues. Bank of America, JPMorgan and Citi sheded 1.3% or more. Tech stocks were down as earnings from Apple and IBM failed to impress.

Fin Times p28 "Apple & IBM lead retreat after earnings disappoint" by Hannah Kuchler says Apple & IBM weighed on US equities after disappointing earnings reports forced their shares to retreat from Mon's all time highs. In healthcare, Johnson & Johnson suffered after it missed rev expectations after recent recalls of some otc medicines but it still managed to beat earnings expectations.

USA Today p4B "china's surprise zings US stocks" by AP says a stronge dollar & a surprise interest rate increase in China that may slow that country's economy helped push the US stock market sharply lower Tues.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,450.60 down 21.8 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,472.40. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.35 down 0.73 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.08. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.88 (AXP/JPM) up 0.68 from Friday's median price of $38.12. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $53.76 -0.64 1.18% 3,424,311 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.8 -0.54 4.38% 572,914,530 NYSE.

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 $2,180 ($147,240 - $145,060).

MarketWatch 10/19/10 Monday 5:18 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply Tuesday, sending the Dow industrials to its worst day in two months, as investors became unnerved by a surprise rate hike in China, disappointing earnings, and fresh concerns about the impact bad mortgages could have on banks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,940, -203.78, -1.83%) sank 165.07 points, or 1.5%, to 10,978.62, ending below 11,000 for the first time in more than a week. Blue-chip losses were led by shares of Bank of America (BAC 11.85, +0.05, +0.42%) , which fell 4.4% after a report the bank might be forced to repurchase bad mortgages.
That was the Dow’s worst drop since early August. The move also follows big gains for stocks in September. “You’ve got to admit it was overdue. We’ve had a straight shot since the first day of September, it’s been pretty much unrelenting,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald, of Wall Street’s six-week climb. The market was also disappointed with results from tech-industry giants Apple (AAPL 308.16, -1.33, -0.43%) and IBM Corp. ibm (IBM 137.92, -0.11, -0.08%) . and “lofty expectations that were not realistic,” said Pado, noting that so-called whisper numbers had shares of both hitting historic highs during Monday’s session.

China's central bank raises rates China's central bank will raise its benchmark deposit and lending rates by 0.25 percentage point, its first increase since 2007. David Wessel, Neal Lipschutz and Bob O'Brien discuss. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,166, -18.81, -1.59%) fell 18.81 points, or 1.6%, to 1,165.90, with energy and materials weighing most heavily among its 10 industry groups. The financial sector, up earlier, turned lower in afternoon trading. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,437, -43.71, -1.76%) shed 43.71 points, or 1.8%, to 2,436.95. For every share rising, five fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.27 billion shares traded.
On Tuesday, Bank of America (BAC 11.85, +0.05, +0.42%) said its quarterly loss stemmed from a one-time hit related to credit-card-reform legislation passed earlier in the year. Read more about Bank of America’s results. But its shares sank, dragging down the financial sector, after reports that institutional investors including bond-giant Pimco and money manager BlackRock (BLK 174.63, -1.87, -1.06%) , along with the New York Federal Reserve, were pressuring the bank to repurchase troubled mortgages. Read more on mortgage repurchases. Before the open, China’s rate-hike announcement drew a negative response from Wall Street, which has not welcomed any move by China viewed as an effort to curb economic growth. Both Apple and IBM reported quarterly results late Monday, with each exceeding earnings forecasts, but investors still found something to pan in both reports. Shares of IBM, which said it signed less service deals than anticipated in the third quarter, fell 3.4% even as the Dow component reported robust profits and hiked its 2010 outlook. The major indexes had advanced Monday, with the Dow industrials ending at their highest level since May 3, a level that also helped inspire some profit taking early Tuesday. “We closed yesterday at the highest since early May, so we’re at the upper end of the range now, or some would say we’re at the bottom end of a new range,” said Jay Suskind, senior vice president at Duncan-Williams. Wall Street gave a muted reaction to economic data, which had the Labor Department estimating that new-home construction rose 0.3% in September. “The housing number wasn’t a surprise to the downside, which I guess was a positive. It was the Chinese rate hike with the dollar that affected the downside,” said Suskind of the U.S. currency’s rebounding strength. Limiting financial-sector losses, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS 157.19, +0.47, +0.30%) shares ended up 2% after the brokerage reported quarterly results that topped earnings expectations.
