Post No. 748 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: 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 Friday, 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 14.26 unchanged from Wednesday's 14.26(year ago it was 18.15); the P/E estimate is 13.17 unchanged from Wednesday's 13.17 (year ago it was 16.04) and the dividend yield is 2.5 down from Wednesday's 2.58 (last year it was 2.66). 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.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.

A read of Friday's Wall St. Journal, New York Times, USA Today & Miami Herald 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 Wednesday at 11,150.91 up 150.91 or up 1.37% from Tuesday's close of 11,036.37. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies only Hewlett-Packard and Procter & Gamble gained and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $43.745 +0.445 1.01% 27,894,532 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $145.81 -2.63 1.84% 4,873,319 NYSE and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $65.41 -1.81 2.85% 6,204,355 NYSE.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,478.17 up 19.94 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,458.23. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.27 up 0.66 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $48.61. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.37 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.30 from Tuesday's closing median price of $43.07. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $55.11 -0.81 1.49% 3,613,012 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.28 -0.19 1.71% 109,497,830 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 $1,994 ($147,817 - $145,823)

MarketWatch Wednesday 11/24/10 4:47 Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied in thin pre-holiday trade Wednesday, reclaiming ground lost in the previous session after data cast an optimistic light on jobs and consumers as holiday-shopping season begins. The market will be closed on Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday. “The economic data stream continues to perform much better than expected,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co. Economic reports showed U.S. jobless claims last week sliding to 2008 lows and consumer confidence and spending rising. Data illustrating a steep drop in new-home sales and manufacturing orders were less positive. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,187, +150.91, +1.37%) finished up 150.91 points, or 1.4%, at 11,187.28, with all but three of its 30 components trading higher. The gain more than made up for a 142-point slide in the previous session. The S&P 500 Index /(SPX 1,198, +17.62, +1.49%) rose 17.62 points, or 1.5%, to 1,198.35, with the industrials and consumer-discretionary sectors leading gains among its 10 industry groups and Tiffany & Co. (TIF 61.45, +0.12, +0.20%) among its notable advancers. “The S&P is approaching resistance at 1,200,” noted Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. If the S&P 500 closes above 1,200 on Friday, the scenario would “set the stage for a challenge of the recent high at 1,227,” Spar added in an afternoon research note. Tiffany shares rose 5.3% after the upscale jewelry retailer reported better-than-expected earnings and offered hopeful words about holiday sales. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN 177.25, +9.05, +5.38%) added 5.4% after Citigroup Inc. said the online retailer is gaining the most from rising Internet sales. Since 1983, the S&P 500 has risen the day before Thanksgiving 80% of the time, said Hogan. Up 1% for the week so far, the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,543, +48.17, +1.93%) gained 48.17 points, or 1.9%, to 2,543.12. For every stock that fell, five rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 829.8 million shares traded. Confident consumer? Wednesday’s gains came after a report showed jobless claims fell by 34,000 to 407,000 last week, while the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment climbed to 71.6 in October, its highest level since June. The data showing a decline in applications for jobless benefits propelled shares of staffing companies higher, with Monster Worldwide Inc. (MWW 22.34, -0.02, -0.09%) up 9.6% and Robert Half International Inc. (RHI 28.13, +1.01, +3.72%) rose 3.7% and Kforce Inc. (KFRC 15.43, +0.43, +2.87%) gained 2.9%. Other economic data had demand for new homes and orders for durable goods declining, while U.S. household purchases gained. On Thursday, U.S. markets will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, with the stock market slated for an early close Friday.
