Your Blogger is in Europe for the few days so I apologize for the spotting coverage.

Post No. 721 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 Nov. 8 Barron's, Monday's Investor's Business Daily, Saturday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, Investors' Business Daily & Atlanta Journal & Constitution 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 11,444.08 up 9.24 or 0.08% from Thursday's close of 11,434.84. For the week the Dow is up 326.08 or 2.93% from last Friday's close of 11,118. For the year the Dow is up 9.74%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 16 gained Procter & Gamble was unchanged and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was JPMorgan Chase JPM $40.94 +1.14 2.86% 75,037,721 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $14 +0.40 2.94% 32,086,344 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage wise was Merck MRK $35.7 -0.95 2.59% 22,318,005 NYSE.

Investor's Business Daily pA1 "Stock advance slows in wake of gains" by Paul Whitfield says after Thursday's big gains, the amrket was due to slow down and catch its breach which is what happened Fri. The market was up in lower volume and is in a confirmed uptrend.

WSJ pB5 "Stocks close week at 2 year highs" by Donna Yealavich says stocks rose slightly, extending their climb to fresh 2 year highs as investors were encouraged bya r eport of stronger than expected job growth for Oct. The Dow's closing number of 11444.08 is its highest close since 9/8/08 and was led by its fin'l components following reports that the Fed is poised to allow healthy banks to increase dividend payments for the first time since the fin'l crisis. JPMorgan climbed $1.14 and Bank of America added 23 cents. The Dow was weighed down by Kraft which fell 71 cents as it posted an 8.5% decline in 3Q profit as higher taxes and ad spending and costs for integrating Cadbury weighed on its shares.

Fin times p14 "Fin'ls rise on hopes of higher bank dividends" by Hannah Kuchler says fin'ls surged as investors hoped that banks would raise dividends, but strong employment data failed to push the wider indices much beyond their 2 year high.

NYT pB7 "Jos report helps a rally, lifting indexes to highest levels in a year" by Chrstine Hauser says stocks rose on Fri as a better than expected jobs report helped the market extend robust gains of the day before, keeping the major indexes at their highest levels for at least a year.

As of the close of the market Saturday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.63 up from Friday's 14.60 (year ago it was 17.38) the P/E estimate is 13.46 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 13.15 (year ago it was 15.57) and the current dividend yield is 2.47 unchanged from Friday's yield of 2.47 (it was 2.77 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 1,512.10 up 1.22 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,510.88. 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 $50.40 up 0.04 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $50.36. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.33 (HPQ/JPM) down 1.67 from Thursday's median price of $43.90. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.34 -0.70 0.8% 3,657,236 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.36 +0.23 1.9% 403,800,818 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 $122 ($151,210 - $151,088.

MarketWatch Friday 11/5/10 4:24 pm by Donna Yesalavich says U.S stocksrose slightly Friday, extending their climb to fresh two-year highs as investors were encouraged by a report of stronger-than-expected job growth for October. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 9.24 points, or 0.08%, to 11444.08. The measure's gain was led by its financial components following reports that the Federal Reserve is poised to allow healthy banks to increase dividend payments for the first time since the financial crisis. J.P. Morgan Chase climbed 2.9% and Bank of America added 1.9%. The measure was weighed down by Kraft Foods, which fell 2.2%. The food giant posted an 8.5% decline in third-quarter profit as higher taxes, jumps in advertising spending and costs for integrating Cadbury weighed on its shares. Also, Starbucks plans to discontinue its arrangement to use Kraft as a distributor for its coffee products. The Nasdaq Composite tacked on 1.64, or 0.06%, to 2578.98. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 4.79, or 0.39%, to 1225.85, with its financial sector posting the biggest gains. The small gains on Friday, which represents the 100-year anniversary of the drafting of legislation for the creation of the Federal Reserve, came at the conclusion a strong week that saw the Dow surge to its highest levels since early September 2008, prior to the Lehman Brothers collapse. The Dow climbed 2.9% during the week, while the S&P 500 rose 3.6% over the period. Fueling the climb, the Republican Party won control of the House of Representatives and the Fed pledged to give the economy a $600 billion stimulus shot, dubbed by market participants as QE2. "This whole week has been packed full of excitement," said Zach Jonson, portfolio manager of the ICON Materials Fund. "There's been a lot of clarity." Investors were encouraged Friday by data from the Labor Department showing nonfarm payrolls rose by a greater-than-expected 151,000 last month as private-sector employers added 159,000 jobs, the Labor Department said. In addition, the September number received a positive revision to show payrolls fell 41,000, less than an original estimate of a 95,000 decline. "Seeing that is definitely a very good sign," Jonson said. Still, he noted, "the household survey told a completely different story." The unemployment rate, which is obtained from a separate household survey, remained at a lofty 9.6% in October. About 14.8 million people who would like to work can't get a job. Data on the housing sector served as another reminder of continued troubles in the economy. A report from the National Association of Realtors showed U.S. pending home sales slipped for the first time in three months in September as foreclosure moratoriums spurred by shoddy mortgage-documentation practices slowed sales. Among stocks in focus, Starbucks jumped 3.8%. The coffee-shop chain said fiscal fourth-quarter net operating income doubled to $399.3 million and sales rose 17% to $2.8 billion. Boston Beer surged 11%. The craft brewer's stock hit a record after the company reported third-quarter revenue above analysts' forecasts. Boston Beer also said it is working on improving inventory turnaround to keep beer fresher and will continue increasing its sales force.
