Post No. 752 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 and recent Dow 30 component's SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 11,052.49 down 39.51 or 0.36% from Monday's close of 11,092. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 10 gained, P&G was unchanged and 19 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $43.33 +1.06 2.51% 10,379,629 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Coke KO $63.39 -0.72 1.12% 11,198,087 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $42.6 -0.60 1.39% 20,622,805 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, 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 is 14.14 unchanged from Friday's 14.14 (year ago it was 17.89); the P/E estimate is 13.17 unchanged from Friday's 13.17 (year ago it was 16.04) and the dividend yield is 2.57 up from Friday's 2.57 (last year it was 2.71). 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 1,460.36 down 6.24 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,465.58. 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 $48.68 down 0.17 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.85. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.93 down 0.03 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.30 from Friday's closing median price of $42.95. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $84.22 -0.18 0.21% 3,588,725 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.31 +0.19 1.71% 144,663,720 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 $522 ($146,558 - $146,036)

MarketWatch Friday 11/26/10 1:43 by Donna Yesalavich Gibson says U.S. stocks fell after spending Black Friday in the red as worries over the euro zone’s finances overshadowed positive readings on the start of the holiday shopping season.The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,092, -95.28, -0.85%) dropped 95.28 points, or 0.9%, to end at 11092. JP Morgan Chase (JPM 37.70, +0.12, +0.32%) and American Express fell the hardest, with both stocks losing fell 1.7%.Crowded stores, long lines and increased online traffic make Black Friday one of the most challenging shopping days of the year. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,535, -8.56, -0.34%) dropped 0.3% to 2,534. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index (SPX 1,189, -8.95, -0.75%) declined 0.8% to 1189.The materials and energy sectors posted the biggest declines Friday as related commodities fell in a broad move away from risky assets.The declines came as investors homed in on Spain as another weak spot in the euro zone. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero moved to dispel the growing anxiety, saying there was “absolutely” no chance the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy would seek a bailout from the European Union. But his attempt to calm the markets had little effect; the euro tumbled and the selloff in Spanish and Portuguese sovereign bonds continued. The euro traded at $1.3233.“Besides being one of the larger economies over there, it’s a renewal of contagion worries and ... it just puts further stress on the EU,” said Bernie Williams, vice president of private investment management at USAA Investment Management.European leaders sparred over whether to commit more funds to rescue struggling euro-zone countries, as financial-market pressure on the region’s weakest economies intensified. The European Union’s executive arm, the Brussels-based EU Commission, floated a proposal on Wednesday to double the size of Europe’s €440 billion ($588 billion) bailout fund for euro-zone governments, but the idea was dismissed by Germany, according to people familiar with the situation.The uncertainty of the euro-zone debt situation prompted investors to pull out of riskier assets, sending crude-oil futures lower. Metals futures also fell, prompting gold to slip to $1,362.40 an ounce.Investors sought safety in the dollar and U.S. Treasurys. The U.S. Dollar Index /(DXY 80.38, +0.52, +0.65%) , tracking the U.S. currency against six others, climbed 0.6%. Gains in Treasurys pushed the yield on the 10-year note (UST10Y 2.87, -0.04, -1.44%) down to 2.87%.The euro-zone worries overshadowed strong early signs on Black Friday sales in the U.S. Lines wrapped around stores and parking lots across the nation as shoppers sought early morning deals, especially on consumer electronics and toys. About 138 million Americans are expected to go shopping this weekend.Some $447 billion will be spent during the holiday season, up 2.3% from last year, the National Retail Federation predicts, with Black Friday weekend seeing about $41.2 billion in business. An NRF survey also found that up to 138 million people plan to shop this weekend, higher than the 134 million people who planned to do so last year.“The consumer, for all the unemployment worries, the ones that have jobs have held in there,” Williams said. Still, retail shares were mixed. Wal-Mart Stores (WMT 53.67, -0.07, -0.13%) fell 0.5%; Amazon.com (AMZN 177.24, +0.04, +0.02%) slipped fractionally and TJX Co. (TJX 46.35, +0.03, +0.07%) shed 0.3%, but GameStop (GME 20.57, +0.08, +0.41%) jumped 0.7%, Big Lots (BIG 30.96, +0.05, +0.15%) climbed 0.3% and Best Buy (BBY 44.50, -0.25, -0.56%) added 0.1%.Among other stocks in focus, Del Monte Foods (DLM 18.75, -0.08, -0.43%) rose 4.7% after the maker of pet foods and canned vegetables announced it agreed to a takeover by an investor group led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP in what would be one of the year’s largest private-equity buyouts.

Post No. 751 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 and recent Dow 30 component's SEC filings.

A read of Monday's 11/29 Barron's, Wall St. Journal, New York Times, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,092 down 95.28 or 0.85% from Wednesday's close of 11,150.91. For the week the Dow was down 111.55 or %0.99% from last Friday's close of 11,203.55. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies only Cisco gained and 29 declined. The only and biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $19.49 +0.03 0.15% 26,259,169 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $143.9 -1.91 1.31% 2,081,260 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $37.5 -0.66 1.73% 12,819,133 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, 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 is 14.14 unchanged from Friday's 14.14 (year ago it was 17.89); the P/E estimate is 13.17 unchanged from Friday's 13.17 (year ago it was 16.04) and the dividend yield is 2.57 up from Friday's 2.57 (last year it was 2.71). 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 1,465.58 down 12.59 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,478.17. 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 $48.85 down 0.37 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.27. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.95 down 0.42 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.30 from Wednesday's closing median price of $43.37. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $54.37 -0.74 1.34% 1,574,428 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.12 0.16 1.42% 54,429,862 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 $1,259 ($147,817 - $146,558)

MarketWatch Friday 11/26/10 1:43 by Donna Yesalavich Gibson says U.S. stocks fell after spending Black Friday in the red as worries over the euro zone’s finances overshadowed positive readings on the start of the holiday shopping season.The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,092, -95.28, -0.85%) dropped 95.28 points, or 0.9%, to end at 11092. JP Morgan Chase (JPM 37.70, +0.12, +0.32%) and American Express fell the hardest, with both stocks losing fell 1.7%.Crowded stores, long lines and increased online traffic make Black Friday one of the most challenging shopping days of the year. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,535, -8.56, -0.34%) dropped 0.3% to 2,534. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index (SPX 1,189, -8.95, -0.75%) declined 0.8% to 1189.The materials and energy sectors posted the biggest declines Friday as related commodities fell in a broad move away from risky assets.The declines came as investors homed in on Spain as another weak spot in the euro zone. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero moved to dispel the growing anxiety, saying there was “absolutely” no chance the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy would seek a bailout from the European Union. But his attempt to calm the markets had little effect; the euro tumbled and the selloff in Spanish and Portuguese sovereign bonds continued. The euro traded at $1.3233.“Besides being one of the larger economies over there, it’s a renewal of contagion worries and ... it just puts further stress on the EU,” said Bernie Williams, vice president of private investment management at USAA Investment Management.European leaders sparred over whether to commit more funds to rescue struggling euro-zone countries, as financial-market pressure on the region’s weakest economies intensified. The European Union’s executive arm, the Brussels-based EU Commission, floated a proposal on Wednesday to double the size of Europe’s €440 billion ($588 billion) bailout fund for euro-zone governments, but the idea was dismissed by Germany, according to people familiar with the situation.The uncertainty of the euro-zone debt situation prompted investors to pull out of riskier assets, sending crude-oil futures lower. Metals futures also fell, prompting gold to slip to $1,362.40 an ounce.Investors sought safety in the dollar and U.S. Treasurys. The U.S. Dollar Index /(DXY 80.38, +0.52, +0.65%) , tracking the U.S. currency against six others, climbed 0.6%. Gains in Treasurys pushed the yield on the 10-year note (UST10Y 2.87, -0.04, -1.44%) down to 2.87%.The euro-zone worries overshadowed strong early signs on Black Friday sales in the U.S. Lines wrapped around stores and parking lots across the nation as shoppers sought early morning deals, especially on consumer electronics and toys. About 138 million Americans are expected to go shopping this weekend.Some $447 billion will be spent during the holiday season, up 2.3% from last year, the National Retail Federation predicts, with Black Friday weekend seeing about $41.2 billion in business. An NRF survey also found that up to 138 million people plan to shop this weekend, higher than the 134 million people who planned to do so last year.“The consumer, for all the unemployment worries, the ones that have jobs have held in there,” Williams said. Still, retail shares were mixed. Wal-Mart Stores (WMT 53.67, -0.07, -0.13%) fell 0.5%; Amazon.com (AMZN 177.24, +0.04, +0.02%) slipped fractionally and TJX Co. (TJX 46.35, +0.03, +0.07%) shed 0.3%, but GameStop (GME 20.57, +0.08, +0.41%) jumped 0.7%, Big Lots (BIG 30.96, +0.05, +0.15%) climbed 0.3% and Best Buy (BBY 44.50, -0.25, -0.56%) added 0.1%.Among other stocks in focus, Del Monte Foods (DLM 18.75, -0.08, -0.43%) rose 4.7% after the maker of pet foods and canned vegetables announced it agreed to a takeover by an investor group led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP in what would be one of the year’s largest private-equity buyouts.
