Post No. 674 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 10/11/10 issues of Barron's, Saturday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,006.48 up 57.9 or 0.53% from Thursday's close of 10,948.58. For the year the Dow is up 5.6%. For the week the Dow is up 176.80 or 1.63% from last Friday's close of 10,829.68. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $80.37 +1.63 2.07% 10,034,001 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $12.89 +0.69 5.66% 72,607,880 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise Kraft KFT $30.93 -0.26 0.83% 10,265,708 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $13.18 -0.13 0.98% 171,284,905 NYSE.

WSJ pB1 "Dow back to 11000, first time since May" by Jonathan Cheng says it took 5 months but the Dow reclaimed the 11000 mark for the 1st time since May 6 flash crash capping a week of gains fueled by expectations that the Fed Res will step in to support the economy. Alcoa led the Dow's advance, kicking off 3Q earnings with a 5.7% leap after beating earnings expectations and raising its forecasts for global aluminum demand.

Fin Times p14 "Weak jobs data help propel Dow above 11,000 points" by Hannah Kuchler says US stocks advanced, with the Dow rising above the key 11,000 mark for the first time since May, after weak jobs data raised investors' hopes taht the Fed Reserve could embark on further quantitative easing.

WSJ pB5 "Alcoa helps drive Dow's rise" by Steven Russolillo says the Dow closed above 11000 on Fri for the 1st time since early May as investors seized on another negative economic report to snap up stocks. Alcoa was the Dow's biggest gainer surging 69 cents. Caterpillar jumped 2.1%, Walt Disney rose 1.8% and Procter & Gamble gained 1.7%.

Sat NYT pB1 "Faith in Fed pushes Dow past 11,000" by Christine Hauser says the Dow closdd above 11,000 on Fri, a first since the market's mini-crash last May, despite more glum economic news. A disappointing monthly unemployment report renewed dbout over the wavering recovery.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.85 up from Friday's P/E ratio of 14.77 (year ago it was 15.97) the P/E estimate is 13.15 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.84 (year ago it was 15.84) and the current dividend yield is 2.56 up from Friday's yield of 2.58 (it was 2.83 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 1,454.28 up 7.66 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,446.62. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.48 up 0.26 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.22. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.23 (HPQ/JPM) up from Thursday's median price of $40.17. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.81 +0.20 0.38% 2,196,620 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.18 -0.13 0.98% 171,284,905 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 havemade $766 ($145,428 - $144,662).

MarketWatch 10/8/10 Friday 4:51 pm by Jonathan Cheng says U.S. stocks ended firmly higher on Friday, with the Dow industrials ending above 11,000 for the first time in five months, after a worse-than-expected jobs report lifted expectations the Federal Reserve will soon boost monetary stimulus. The Dow (DJIA 11,006, +57.90, +0.53%) rose 57.90 points, or 0.5%, to end at 11,006.48, its first close above 11,000 since May 3, just days before the May 6 “flash crash”. The Dow gained 1.6% this week and is now up 5.6% year-to-date. Alcoa, Inc. (AA 12.90, +0.01, +0.08%) shares led the blue-chip index, jumping 5.7% after kicking off earnings season late Thursday with results that exceeded analysts’ expectations. The company also lifted its forecast for global aluminum demand in 2010. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,402, +18.24, +0.77%) rose 0.8% to 2,401.91, adding 1.3% this week. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (SPX 1,165, +7.09, +0.61%) gained 0.6% to 1,165.15, up 1.7% for the week, with the materials and energy leading the way. The stock market’s gains came after the closely watched nonfarm-payrolls report showed a net 95,000 workers lost their jobs in September, a steeper-than-expected decline. “The jobs report didn’t change anyone’s thinking about where we are in this economic recovery,” said Brian Gendreau, market strategist with Financial Network, a financial-advisory firm. And even though the jobs data failed to meet economists’ expectations, stocks are rising because the report is “one more piece of evidence showing the market is pricing in QE2,” referring to the Fed’s potential second round of easing. Read more on jobs report. The private sector added 64,000 jobs, which was less than economists expected and not enough to offset the big cuts in government workers. The government shed temporary census workers, and state and local governments also cut jobs. Doug Cliggott, managing director and U.S. equity strategist at Credit Suisse, said a combination of modest private-sector job growth combined with dragging employment on the state and local government levels could be a trend that continues for many months ahead. “I’m not sure there’s any way around this,” he said. “There are no real silver bullets to accelerate the recovery.” Losses in the chip-equipment industry keep gains in the technology sector in check on Friday after Kulicke & Soffa Industries issues a revenue warning. Friday’s report was a reminder that the U.S. labor market remains in the doldrums 15 months after the recession officially ended. That increases the odds that the Fed will take new steps to jumpstart the economy at its next meeting on Nov. 3.
Anthony Chan, chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private Wealth Management said he expects the report to lead to “more heated” debate within the Fed over further quantitative easing, even after a recent run of encouraging data. “This report just intensifies the heat of the debate; it doesn’t in and of itself serve as the ultimate tipping point,” he said. St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard told CNBC ahead of the jobs data that the Fed would face a difficult decision on whether to begin another round of asset purchases. “The economy has slowed, but it hasn’t slowed so much,” he said, adding that he would go into the meeting “with an open mind”. Treasurys surged, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note (UST10Y 2.40, +0.01, +0.42%) sinking to 2.39%. Gold rose to $1,345.30 an ounce, while oil registered modest gains. The dollar weakened against its major rivals. It fell to a series of 15-year lows against the yen, weakening as far as 82.10 yen. The greenback also fell against the euro, trading at $1.3927 in late New York trade from $1.3912 late Thursday. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY 77.18, -0.21, -0.27%) , which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.2%. Read more on currencies. Among stocks in focus, shares of Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE 27.05, +0.06, +0.22%) shares fell 5.9% after Thursday’s sharp rally, as talk of a potential takeover by Microsoft dissipated.
J.C. Penney (JCP 32.90, +0.41, +1.26%) shares jumped 2.7% after activist investor William Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management reported a 16.5% stake in the department store operator.
