Post No. 666 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.

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

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,751.27 down 78.41 or 0.72% from Friday's close of 10,829.68. For the year the Dow is up 3.1%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies, 5 gained, Travelers was unchanged and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Walmart WMT $53.57 +0.21 0.39% 7,123,263 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $39.05 -2.73 6.53% 38,429,949 NYSE.

WSJ pC6 "Dow off 78.41 points on worst day in nearly a month" by jonathan Cheng says stocks slumped broadly as investors bought up Treasurys and the dollar Monday, seeking shelter ahead of official jobless numbers and the start of corp earnings season later this week. The index was dragged down by a 6.5% tumbe at American Express after the Justice Dept filed a civil antitrust against it. Microsoft lost 1.9% after Goldman Sachs cuts its rating to neutral from buy saying it must increase its dividend, develop a coherent consumer strategy and boost its cloud computing business. Intel dropped 2.3%. American Express is charted under Bad News as is Coca Cola Enterprises saying its stock sunk after the buyout by Coke was completed.

Fin Times p28 'Microsoft rating downgrade drags tech stocks lower" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks fell as a rating downgrade for Microsoft weighed on the tech sector and weakening metals prices pushed materials stocks lower. In fin'l JPMorgan managed to withstand the sector's slide, edging up 0.5%.

NYT pB9 'A slide as traders await jobs & earnings reports" by AP says stocks fell on as investors took a pause from Sept's rally and held back ahead of a busy week of economic & earnings reports.

USA Today p6B "Stocks backpedal on earnings worries" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Mon, sending the Dow to its biggest drop in almost a month, as analysts cut ratings of firms including Microsoft & macy's triggering caution before the start of the earnings season. Alcoa dropped 31 cents after Deutsche Bank added the shares to its short tem sell list.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, 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 14.51 down from Monday's P/E ratio of 14.61 (year ago it was 15.49) the P/E estimate is 13.01 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 13.01 (year ago it was 15.32) and the current dividend yield is 2.62 up from Monday's yield of 2.60 (it was 2.91 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,420.56 down 10.48 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,430.92. 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 of 10.48 for Monday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Monday's Dow of 78.41. 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 $47.35 down 0.35 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.70. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.85 (HPQ/AXP) down $1.42 from Friday's median closing price of $41.27. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.7 -0.92 1.05% 2,286,247 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.15 -0.15 1.13% 133,368,595 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $1,584 ($143,640 - $142,056).

MarketWatch 10/4/10 Monday 4:21 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending its worst day in nearly a month, after downgrades hit several sectors, heightening worries about corporate results ahead. Slated to report third-quarter results on Thursday, miner Alcoa Inc. (AA 11.98, +0.06, +0.50%) “may confirm investors’ worries that analysts had too much built into the current numbers that Wall Street can’t meet,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,751, -78.41, -0.72%) fell 78.41 points, or 0.7%, to 10,751.27.
The losses were led by American Express Co. (AXP 39.19, +0.14, +0.36%) . Its shares fell 6.5% after the credit-card company said it would contest government allegations that it violated antitrust law over card-acceptance rules. The Justice Department has settled with Visa Inc. (V 73.25, +0.01, +0.01%) and MasterCard Inc. (MA 223.08, +0.44, +0.20%) on the same issue, according to court filings. Shares of Alcoa also weighed on the Dow, down 2.5% after Deutsche Bank recommended selling shares of the aluminum maker, which is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Thursday. “Budding doubts about third-quarter corporate earnings later in the week, along with the September payrolls report looming has dented investor sentiment,” offered analysts at Action Economics. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT 23.97, +0.06, +0.25%) shares fell 1.9% after Goldman Sachs rescinded its buy rating on shares of the software giant, pointing to the software giant’s difficulties in gaining traction in the mobile-device market. It also said the rise of tablet computing “adds a new risk to Microsoft’s dominant PC and Office productivity-suit franchises.” The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,345, -26.23, -1.11%) declined 26.23 points, or 1.1%, to 2,344.52. Separate economic reports showed U.S. factory orders falling 0.5% in August, slightly worse than the 0.4% drop anticipated by analysts. An industry group reports sales of homes across the country climbed 4.3% in August. Read more about pending U.S. home sales. For every stock rising, more than three fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 943 million shares traded. “Companies have pretty much squeezed all the water out of the rock that they can; it’s hard to see how we can manufacture 16% profit growth in a tepid revenue environment,” offered Harris Private Bank’s Ablin. Analysts also said Wall Street was primed for a retreat after a September rally that pushed the Dow industrials up 10% for the month.
“Given the run of the past six weeks, we could see stocks meander or decline over the next week or two to work off some of the excess enthusiasm,” wrote Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners, in a note.
