Post No. 669 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 10,944.72 up 193.45 or 1.8% from Tuesday's close of 10,944.72. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies, 18 gained, Home Depot was unchanged and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M MMM $89.89 +1.03 1.16% 4,137,312 and percentage-wise was GE $16.9 +0.39 2.36% 73,911,675 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was AT&T T $28.62 -0.74 2.52% 49,003,113 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 14.77 up from Tuesday's P/E ratio of 14.51 (year ago it was 15.70) the P/E estimate is 13.01 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 13.01 (year ago it was 15.32) and the current dividend yield is 2.58 down from Tuesday's yield of 2.62 (it was 2.87 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 1,449.14 up 3.2 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,446.12. 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 $48.30 up 0.10 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.205. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.38 (HPQ/AXP) down $0.17 from Tuesday's median closing price of $39.55. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.82- 0.05 0.09% 2,484,008 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.39 -0.17 1.25% 150,480,596 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 $302 ($144,914 - $144,612).

MarketWatch 10/6/10 Wednesday 5:01 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks mostly fell Wednesday, with only the Dow industrials managing a modest gain, after downgrades hit the technology sector and disappointing jobs Stocks had surged to five-month highs in the prior session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,968, +22.93, +0.21%) closed up 22.93 points, or 0.2%, to 10,967.65 after bouncing between small gains and losses for most of the session. Nineteen of the Dow’s 30 components closed higher, led by a 2.4% gain in shares of General Electric Co. (GE 16.92, +0.02, +0.12%) The Nasdaq Composite Index /(COMP 2,381, -19.17, -0.80%) fell 19.17 points, or 0.8%, to 2,380.66. Software stocks and those that service companies’ data-storage needs dropped sharply after Equinix Inc. (EQIX 70.33, -0.01, -0.01%) warned on its revenue outlook, prompting analysts at Oppenheimer, Citigroup and Wells Fargo to cut ratings on the provider of data-center hosting services. Read more on sell-off in data-center stocks.
Equinix shares fell 33%. On the S&P 500, the six worst decliners were tech stocks, led by a 14% drop in Citrix Systems Inc. (CTXS 60.24, +0.09, +0.15%) shares, a 7.9% drop in Salesforce.com (CRM 104.40, -0.55, -0.52%) and a 7.7% tumble in RedHat Inc. shares. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,160, -0.78, -0.07%) closed down 0.8 point, or 0.1%, to 1,159.97, with telecommunications and technology the hardest hit among its 10 industry sectors. “The ADP jobs survey came up short of expectations and reinforced the bull run on Treasurys, while undermining confidence on stocks, compounded by a downgrade in the semiconductor sector,” said analysts at Action Economics. The iPhone is finally coming to the Verizon wireless network as Apple gears up to produce a CDMA version of its popular smartphone that will be available in the first quarter of next year.
Ahead of Wall Street’s start, stock futures turned lower after payrolls processor ADP reported private employers trimmed 39,000 jobs in September, the first decline in seven months. The decline, which ran counter to expectations for an increase, was offset in part by ADP’s upward revision to its August count for private-sector payrolls. Treasury prices gained as yields fell to their lowest level after the ADP report. Morgan Stanley downgraded recommendations on Xilinx Inc. (XLNX 25.55, -0.16, -0.63%) and Altera Corp. (ALTR 29.22, -0.08, -0.27%) shares, saying a recent trip to Asia had led to expect decelerating chip orders from this market. Read more in tech stocks. Among Dow stocks, GE announced a $3 billion deal to buy engine manufacturer Dresser Inc. and said it would purchase $1.6 billion in retail credit assets from Citigroup Inc. (C 4.11, +0.01, +0.24%) GE also said Britain’s Wellstream Holdings PLC (UK:WSM 764.00, -16.00, -2.05%) had spurned a $1.2 billion takeout offer. Also supporting the Dow’s rise, Alcoa Inc. /(AA 12.39, +0.02, +0.16%) rose 1.9% ahead of the aluminum maker reporting quarterly results on Thursday in the unofficial start of the earnings season. For every four stocks on the rise roughly five were falling on the New York Stock Exchange, where 981 million shares traded hands. The Japanese yen hit a 15-year high versus the dollar, with the greenback’s weakness a factor (DXY 77.43, -0.32, -0.42%) as crude-oil futures finished above $83 a barrel, and gold ended at a record high, nearing $1,350 an ounce. While feeding bearish sentiment, the ADP report also bolstered the notion that the Federal Reserve might be moved to take additional steps to stoke the embattled U.S. recovery. The Fed, which already has U.S. interest rates near zero, might announce further purchases of government bonds when it concludes a policy-setting meeting early next month. The ADP report comes two days before the Labor Department’s monthly payrolls report. On Thursday, dozens of retailers report September sales figures, with upscale retailers Saks Inc. (SKS 8.63, -0.07, -0.80%) and Nordstrom Inc. (JWN 37.54, -0.23, -0.61%) among those analysts expect to report rises in same-store sales of as much as 5%. Further out, the National Retail Federation expects retail sales in the upcoming holiday shopping season to climb 2.3% this year, with the increase tepid compared to the 10-year average of 2.5%, but far better than last year’s 0.4% increase and the 3.9% decline tallied in 2008.

Below are excerpts from Wed. 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 10,944.72 up 193.45 or 1.8% from Monday's close of 10,751.27. For the year the Dow is up 5.76%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies, 29 gained and only American Express declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $68.6 +2.27 3.42% 7,362,478 NYSE. The only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $38.28 -0.77 1.97% 67,915,752 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow up 193.45, boosted by Fed" by Jonathan Cheng says the Fed Res sents its signals and the market responded. Remarks by Fed officials in recent days galvanized hopes that it will step in to prop up the economy, sending stocks to a 5 month high, gold soaring to a record the dollar plunging.

WSJ pC5 "Boeing carries DJIA's 1.8% rally" by Steven Russillo says stocks rallied toa month high on Tues, boosted by encouraging services sector data & hopes that global central banks will follow Japan's lead in stimulating economic growth. Boeing rose 3.4% while Bank of America increased 3.1% and IBM rose 1.8%. American Express was the only Dow firm in the red as investors digested its decision to fight the Justice Dept's civil antitrust suit.

Fin Times p28 "Positive services sector data boost hopes for recovery" by Hannah Kuchler says US equities jumped to their highest since mid-May after the Bank of Japn unveiled plans to ease monetary policya and better tha nexpected data on the US services sector sparked hopes of a speedier global economic recovery. The industrials sector was up 2.7% with Caterpillar climbing 2.8% and Cummins rising 2.8%.

NYT pB9 "Sept rally extends into Oct" by Christine Hauser says the stock market in the US turned in one of its best performances in months on Tues after Japan took new currency measures to support its economy.

USA Today p4B "Business report ignites stock rocket" by Seth Sutel, AP says stocks rose to their highest level in 5 months after a measure of the most important driver of the US economy surged ahead in Sept, a hopeful sign for the country's main source of jobs. A surprise move by the Bank of Japan to cut its key interest rate to virtually zero also lifted stocks worldwide. The dollar fell as investors shed defensive assets, and a gauge of US stock market volatility fell.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,446.12 up 25.56 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,420.56. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.20 up 0.85 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.35. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.55 (HPQ/AXP) down $0.30 from Monday's median closing price of $39.85. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.87 +0.75 1.44% 3,607,012 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.56 +0.41 3.12% 188,761,648 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 made $2,556 ($144,612 - $142,056).

MarketWatch 10/5/10 Tuesday 4:29 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied on Tuesday, with the Dow industrials closing within striking distance of 11,000 and at its highest level since May, as U.S. economic data and Japan’s bid to spur its economy energized Wall Street. “We’re not going to have a double dip, but slow growth. And with interest rates so low, equities is one of the few places to generate returns,” said Jerry Swank, president of Swank Capital. “The search for yield is going to flow to the equity markets,” said Swank. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,945, +193.45, +1.80%) climbed 193.45 points to end at 10,944.72, its highest close since May 3. The blue-chip index, which last closed above 11,000 also on May 3, was lifted by all but one of its 30 components, led by a 3.4% gain in shares of Boeing (BA 68.88, +0.28, +0.41%) The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,161, +23.72, +2.09%) climbed 23.72 points, or 2.1%, to 1,160.75, with materials the best performing of its 10 sectors. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,400, +55.31, +2.36%) added 55.31 points, or 2.4%, to 2,399.83. For every stock falling, almost five rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where more than 1.2 billion shares traded. Commodities also rallied, with crude-oil futures closing at a five-month high, rising $1.35, or 1.7%, to $82.82 a barrel, while gold futures ended at yet another record high of $1,340.30 an ounce.
The major U.S. stock indexes extended a solid start after the Institute for Supply Management’s index of non-manufacturing businesses climbed to 53.2% in September from 51.5% the prior month. The S&P 500's ability to top 1,150 and stay there over the next several weeks could signal the market's direction for the next four years, according to Stockmarket Cycles' Peter Eliades. The better-than-expected report backed the notion that the recovery is gaining traction, while Japan’s rate cut bolstered the view that central banks would step in, if needed, to support the global recovery. The Bank of Japan voted unanimously Tuesday to cut its policy interest-rate range to between zero and 0.1%, from 0.1%. And it said it would take easing measures valued at $419 billion, including the purchase of Japanese government bonds. If odds of a double-dip recession stood at 45% in June and July, they’re now down to about 10% to 20%, said Swank. American Express Co. (AXP 38.33, +0.05, +0.13%) was the Dow’s sole laggard, its shares off for a second day, down 2%. Its shares slid 6.5% Monday after the credit-card company declined to join Visa Inc. (V 74.88, -0.11, -0.15%) and MasterCard Inc. (MA 225.90, +3.26, +1.46%) in agreeing to let merchants direct customers to less costly forms of plastic. On Monday, the Dow fell 78.41 points, or 0.7%, to 10,751.27, its largest point and percentage drop in nearly a month.
