Post No. 716 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 Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investors' 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,215.13 up 26.41 or 0.24% from Tuesday's close of 11,188.72. For the year the Dow is up 7.55%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was JPMorgan JPM $37.72 +0.76 2.06% 35,239,940 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $23.71 +0.54 2.33% 53,780,826 NASDAQ-GS NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $68.94 -0.84 1.2% 4,663,489 NYSE and percentage wise was Microsoft MSFT $27.03 -0.36 1.31% 110,184,947 NASDAQ-GS.

WSJ pC5 "Cisco, H-P lift DJIA" by Jonathan Cheng says the Dow limped to a 2 year closing high, having bounced around in response to the congressional elections and the Fed's decision to spend another $600 bil to prop up the economy. Fin'l stocks helped the advance, while Cisco and Hewlett-Packard led the Dow's gains. BlackRock tumbled after Bank of America and PNC Fin'l said they would sell shares in the money manager.

Fin Times p19 "Investors pull back on the prospect of further easing" by Hanah Kuchler says US stocks briefly spiked but then slipped back into negative territory after the Fed Res announced it would embark on a 2nd round of quantitative easing.

USA Today p6B "Stocks rise on Fed plans to help growth" by Bloomberg says stoks swung between gains & losses Wed before a late rally pushed the Dow to a new '10 high, after the Fed announced an add'l $600 bil of Treasury purchases to boot growth in the world's largest economy.

NYT pB8 "Relieved but not surprised by the Fed's actions, investors lift shares slightly" by Graham Bowley says squawk boxes barked the news over the trading floor at Barclays: the Fed was back i as the Fed Res made another effor to revive the American economy. After months of speculation, the Fed announced that it would embark on another round of what is known as quantitative easing as the central bank said it would buy $600 bil of Treasury securities in the open market.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks tack on gains in higher volume" by Paul Whitfield says with election results aked into stocks, the market yawned at the open Wed but perked up after the Fed laid out its new Treasuries purchasing plan. The current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 14.28 up from Wednesday's 14.25 (year ago it was 16.98) the P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 13.15 (year ago it was 15.68) and the current dividend yield is 2.52 down from Wednesday's yield of 2.53 (it was 2.86 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,481.85 up 3.59 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,478.36. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.39 up 0.11 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.28. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.94 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.29 from Tuesday's median price of $42.65. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $75.05 -0.20 0.27% 3,585,020 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.52 +0.12 1.05% 175,537,761 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 $349 ($148,185 - $147,836).

MarketWatch Wednesday 11/3/10 4:32 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S stocks shifted higher Wednesday in applauding the Federal Reserve’s latest bid to spur economic growth, propelling the Dow industrials to their highest finish in two years. Stock indexes had meandered mostly lower ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee announcement, in which the Fed said it would buy another $600 billion in U.S. bonds through mid-2011. Barring a spike in inflation or a dramatic drop in unemployment, the FOMC statement signaled “quantitative easing will continue in some form,” said Doug Roberts, investment strategist at Channel Capital Research. “This is particularly true if additional fiscal stimulus is not forthcoming from the new Congress,“ Roberts added of the central bank’s plan, which involves new purchases of about $75 billion a month through mid-2011.
In its fourth consecutive winning session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,215, +26.41, +0.24%) added 26.41 points, or 0.2%, to 11,215.13, its highest close since September 2008, just ahead of the climax of the financial crisis. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,198, +4.39, +0.37%) gained 4.39 points, or 0.4%, to 1,197.96, with utilities and natural-resource companies off the most and the financial sector the strongest-performer among its 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,540, +6.75, +0.27%) climbed 6.75 points, or 0.3%, to 2,540.27. For every three stocks on the decline more than four rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.1 billion shares changed hands. “We don’t believe it will be as effective as the first round,” said Phil Orlando, equity market strategist at Federated Investors, of the Fed’s move, which he views as made by a central bank frustrated with Congress for not mapping out a different course for U.S. fiscal policy. That said, the investment strategist noted that underlying market fundamentals are sound, listing an improved economy, strong corporate earnings, the results of Tuesday’s midterm elections and expectations of more quantitative easing as lifting equities in recent months. “This 18% rally we’ve enjoyed may have already priced in” much of the bullish fundamentals, with a pullback of roughly 5% to be expected during the next few weeks, according to Orlando, who nonetheless predicted the longer-term trend going higher. Will Obama work with divided Congress?What cards does the president have left to play following the GOP’s House victory? Will Obama work with a divided Congress?

Stocks had offered a muted reaction to a spate of economic reports Wednesday, including better-than-expected data on private employment and the service industry. Payroll company ADP reported private companies hired 43,000 people last month. On Friday, the government will release its monthly jobs report. The Institute for Supply Management said growth in the service sector expanded in October, while a separate report from the government had factory orders up 2.1% in September.
