Post No. 710 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 10/24/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 10/24/10.

A read of Monday's Barron's, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,118 up 4.54 or 0.04% from Thursday's close of 11,113.95. For the week the Dow was down 14.56 or 0.013% from last Friday's close of 11,132.56. For the month the Dow was down 3.06%. For the year the Dow is up 6.62%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 18 gained and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $143.6 +2.70 1.92% 8,444,096 and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $13.14 +0.49 3.87% 39,265,086 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage wise was Chevron CVX $82.6 -1.84 2.18% 12,462,965 NYSE.

IBD pA1 "Stocks go nowhere in higher volume" by Paul Whitfield says the major indexes closed flat Fri as the stock market shrugged off mediocre economic data & a terror scare. Current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.

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 ratio is 14.16 up from Friday's 14.07 (year ago it was 16.74) the P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Friday's P/E estimate of 13.25 (year ago it was 15.68) and the current dividend yield is 2.54 unchanged from Friday's yield of 2.54 (it was 2.88 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 1,469.01 up 0.53 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,468.48. 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 $48.97 up 0.02 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.95. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.75 (HPQ/AXP) downp 0.19 from Thursday's median price of $41.94. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $74.77 +0.07 0.09% 2,650,141 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.449 -0.081 0.7% 126,825,092 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 made $53 ($146,901 - $146,848).

MarketWatch Friday 10/29/10 4:58 pm by Donna Yesalavich says U.S. blue chip stocks edged up Friday while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell slightly in a quiet end to a strong October as investors bided their time before next week’s Federal Reserve meeting and midterm elections. The Dow Jones (DJIA 11,118, +4.54, +0.04%) closed up 4.54 points, or 0.04%, to 11118.49. Microsoft (MSFT 26.59, -0.08, -0.28%) was among the Dow’s best performers with a 1.5% rise. The software giant’s fiscal first-quarter profit climbed 51%, benefiting from a continued strong response to the Windows 7 operating system and Office 2010. Microsoft is also the Dow’s best performer this month, up 9.1% over the period.Read about Microsoft’s results. Chevron and Merck helped limit the Dow’s gain. Chevron (CVX 82.61, +0.01, +0.01%) fell 2.2% after the oil major’s third-quarter earnings and revenue missed analysts’ expectations. Merck (MRK 36.25, -0.06, -0.17%) dropped 1.7% as the company’s earnings excluding items topped Wall Street estimates, but revenue fell short of forecasts. Read more on Chevron. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,507, +0.04, +0.00%) rose 0.04% to 2507.41. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (SPX 1,183, -0.52, -0.04%) was nearly unchanged at 1,183.26. The health-care sector slumped as Merck weighed.Friday, which marks the 81st anniversary of the Crash of 1929 known as “Black Tuesday,” was the final trading day of what has been a strong October for stocks. The Dow climbed 3.06% during the month and the S&P 500 rose 3.69% for October, the Dow’s best October since 2006 and the S&P 500’s best October since 2003. Even without the glamour of an iPad or another novel technology hit among consumers in its product lineup. This month’s climb has come on growing expectations that next week the Federal Reserve will announce more stimulus and midterm elections will lead to a Republican takeover of the House. “We’ve got a huge week next week,” said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management. “Today’s market may just be the perfect reflection of that quandary -- how big a position do you want to take leading into that?” Data released Friday showed the economy expanded in the third quarter at a slightly faster pace compared to the previous quarter, but growth remains too weak to cut unemployment any time soon. Gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced, rose at an annual rate of 2.0% after climbing 1.7% in the second quarter. Economists had expected 2.1% growth. The data showed inflation remains very soft. The Fed’s preferred gauge, the price index for personal consumption expenditures excluding volatile food and energy items, rose an annualized 0.8% in the third quarter, below the second quarter’s 1% increase.
The GDP report “means we’re not growing fast enough to make a dent in the unemployment rate,” said Jeff Applegate, chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. He said that only adds to the case for the Fed to unveil a quantitative easing program next week. Other economic figures released Friday were mixed. Consumer-sentiment data from Reuters/University of Michigan showed the consumer mood darkened at the end of October, while the Chicago Business Barometer, formerly known as Chicago PMI, edged up from September and topped expectations. Read more on consumer sentiment. The dollar weakened slightly, with the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY 77.04, -0.27, -0.35%) , which tracks the U.S. currency against a basket of six others, off 0.2%. Meanwhile, Treasurys edged higher, pushing the yield on the 10-year note (UST10Y 2.60, -0.06, -2.40%) down to 2.62%. Crude-oil futures fell while gold futures were flat. Among stocks in focus, Genworth Financial (GNW 11.37, +0.04, +0.35%) tumbled 9.9%. The life insurer’s operating earnings unexpectedly dropped as stronger international operations couldn’t offset weakness in life and mortgage insurance. S&P Equity Research cut its target price on Genworth’s shares following the report. Adding to the downward pressure on the insurer’s shares, hedge-fund manager Steve Eisman said on Genworth’s third-quarter conference call that the company isn’t meeting its cost of capital in any of its businesses. He suggested Genworth consider shutting down some businesses and use the money saved to buy back shares. Monster Worldwide (MWW 17.98, -0.08, -0.44%) shares soared 26%. The employment website operator struck an optimistic tone as it reported stronger-than-forecast bookings in its third quarter, leading the company to narrow its loss projection for the year. The third quarter was the first since early 2008 that Monster has seen revenue, bookings and deferred revenue all grow year-over-year.
