Post No. 743 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 11,152.09 down 51.46 or 0.46% from Friday's close of 11203.55. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 8 gained and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $43.25 +0.76 1.79% 31,681,538 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $42.22 -0.53 1.24% 7,542,659 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Mon's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. The trailing P/E is 14.30 up from Friday's 14.27 (year ago it was 17.87); the P/E estimate is 13.17 down from Friday's 13.22 (year ago it was 16.07) and the dividend yield is 2.54 down from Friday's 2.55 (last year it was 2.70). 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 1,473.52 down 6.80 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,480.32. 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 $49.12 down 0.22 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.34. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.73 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.14 from Friday's closing median price of $42.59. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $84.9 -0.11 0.13% 2,976,216 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.3 -0.36 3.09% 220,610,011 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 $680 ($148,032 - $147,352)

MarketWatch Monday 11/22/10 4:51 pm by Donna Yesalavih says U.S stocks declined Monday, pressured by financials as new details of a widespread insider-trading investigation emerged and worries surfaced over Ireland’s debt woes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,179, -24.74, -0.22%) closed down 24.97 points, or 0.22%, at 11,178.5. The measure had been down by more than 100 points earlier in the day as investors worried over the stability of the euro zone. Stocks are down in Europe and the US, and the euro is falling as Ireland's preliminary agreement on a bailout has only focused the markets on the next domino to fall, with many pointing to Portugal. Leading the Dow’s declines, Bank of America Corp. (BAC 11.31, +0.01, +0.09%) , fell 3.1%, and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 38.58, +0.07, +0.18%) slid 2.3%. Oil giants Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM 70.17, -0.02, -0.03%) and Chevron Corp. (CVX 83.53, +0.08, +0.10%) also were weak, but pared some of their losses as oil climbed back above $81 a barrel. Exxon shed 0.5%, while Chevron fell 0.6%. Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ 44.28, +1.03, +2.38%) was the measure’s top performer, rising 1.8% ahead of the company’s quarterly earnings report, due after the close.
The market tumbled early Monday after Ireland over the weekend agreed to accept a bailout, formally applying for tens of billions of euros in aid from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Later in the day, stocks pared their losses after Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen said he would call for the dissolution of parliament in the new year after a vital budget vote Dec 7. Investors said the bailout package alone wouldn’t fix Ireland’s debt woes. “This is not a liquidity question, it’s a solvency question,” said Michael Pento, senior economist at Euro Pacific Capital. “We need to have a massive restructuring of the debt over there.” Other investors worried that other euro-zone nations still faced the threat of “spillover effects,” said Christian Hviid, chief market strategist at Genworth Financial Asset Management. “It wasn’t too long ago that Ireland said they didn’t need a bailout. It’s sort of telling that there’s really no clarity as to whether or not even policymakers really know how big the problem is.” The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX 1,198, -1.89, -0.16%) shed 1.89, or 0.16%, to 1,197.84. Financials were the index’s worst-performing sector. “It’s a reminder to us, seeing what’s going on with the European banks, that our banks are also insolvent,” said Michael Pento, senior economist at Euro Pacific Capital. Stoking fresh worries for the financial sector, The Wall Street Journal reported that Federal Bureau of Investigation agents raided the offices of three hedge funds, Diamondback Capital Management LLC, Level Global Investors LP and Loch Capital Management LLC, amid a far-reaching insider-trading investigation. Investors said they were bracing for financials to take a hit as more details of the investigation surface.
“It is the brokerage and the investment bankers that are going to be the most likely targets of these investigations,” said Robert Phipps, a director at Per Stirling Capital Management. Leading the sector’s declines, Marshall & Ilsley (MI 4.76, +0.02, +0.42%) fell 4.6% and Regions Financial (RF 5.30, -0.05, -0.93%) fell 2.7%. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,532, +13.90, +0.55%) edged up 0.1% to 2,520. The index was boosted by a 6.6% jump in Novell Inc. An investor group reached a deal to acquire Novell (NOVL 5.95, -0.01, -0.17%) for about $2.2 billion, ending an eight-month takeover battle for the software company.
The U.S. dollar index (DXY 78.63, +0.12, +0.16%) , which tracks the U.S. currency against a basket of six others, rose 0.2%. Demand for Treasurys increased, pushing yield on the 10-year note down to 2.64%. Gold futures rose. Shares of Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN 16.55, -0.05, -0.30%) rose 6.1% after the meat packer rebounded from a prior-year loss, posting earnings that topped analysts’ estimates. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (GMCR 35.60, -0.18, -0.50%) surged 18% after the coffee company said it plans to restate its financial statements for the past three fiscal years and the first three quarters of this year because of errors, bringing it closer to resolving its accounting issues after the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a probe of the company in September. Bank of America Merrill Lynch upgraded its stock-investment rating on Green Mountain to buy from underperform.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog.

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

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,203.55 up 22.32 or 0.2% from Thursday's close of 11,181.23. For the week the Dow was up 10.75 or 0.09% from last Friday's close of 11,192.8. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 17 gained and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $42.48 +0.79 1.89% 18,697,420 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $63.54 -1.07 1.66% 8,005,371 NYSE.

WSJ pB5 "Dow tacks on 22.32, up for week" by Donna Yesalavich says after a volatile week US stocks closed nearly flat ove 5 sessions as worries about the rate of Chinese growth and the stability of European economies mounted and ebbed. Boeing was he Dow's worst performer dropping $1.02 while Disney also was weak shedding 57 cents. Hewlett Packard climbed 80 cents ahead of its 4Q earnings report Mon.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,480.32 up 6.98 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,473.36. 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 $49.34 up 0.23 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.11. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.59 (AXP/HPQ) up 0.63 from Thursday's closing median price of $41.96.

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 $696 ($148,032 - $147,336)
