Post No. 724 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.

Your Blogger is reporting from London today.

A read of Tuesday's Nov. 9 Investor's Business Daily, Financial Times (London issue), The Daily Telegraph (UK), European Edition of Wall St. Journal, USA Today (Int'l Edition), (London) The Independent, The Guardian (UK) & The times (UK) 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 11,406.84 down 37.24 or 0.33% from Friday's close of 11,444.08. For the year to date the Dow is up 978.79 or 9.4%. Over the past 52 weeks the Dow is up 1,179.90 or 11.5%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 7 gained and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $44.25 +0.53 1.21% 15,703,833 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $12.6 +0.24 1.94% 247,269,945 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $70.21 -1.06 1.49% 4,160,574 NYSE and percentage wise was Travelers TRV $56.58 -0.86 1.5% 3,218,996 NYSE.

Fin Times p36 "Upgrade bolsters Intel but S&P 500 retreats" by Hannah Kuckhler says deal speculation & an analyst upgrade for Intel helped the tech sector edge up while all other 10 main sectors of the S&P 500 fell. Analysts predicted the PC component inventory cycle had bottomed and that the threat from tablet computers was included in the sales outlook.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal (US edition) is 0.132129493, the trailing P/E ratio is 15 from Monday's 14.63. 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 1,507.18 down 4.92 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,512.10. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.24 down 0.16 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $50.40. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.38 (HPQ/JPM) up .005 from Friday's median price of $42.33. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $76.63 -0.12 0.16% 3,149,208 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.6 +0.24 1.94% 247,269,945 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 lso $492 ($151,210 - $150,718.)

MarketWatch Friday 11/8/10 5:28 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S stocks on Monday retreated from more than two-year highs as the euro softened against the dollar due to resurfacing worries about Europe’s unsettled debt issues. “Unresolved debt dynamics are resurfacing,” noted Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., pointing to Greece and Ireland as hot spots.
After six consecutive sessions higher, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,407, -37.32, -0.33%) on Monday fell 37.24 points, or 0.3%, to 11,406.84, with 22 of its 30 components on the decline. A European Union official traveled to Ireland Monday as Dublin seeks to avoid a bailout and investors sold Irish bonds.
Greece has the “worst performing bond market in the euro zone followed by Ireland, which has sufficient funds on hand to last until the middle of 2011,” Chandler said. Read more on sovereign-debt worries in Europe. QE2 worries are replaced by renewed concerns over European sovereign debt, leading U.S. stocks lower. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,223, -2.60, -0.21%) shed 2.60 points, or 0.2%, to 1,223.25, with financial companies down the most and energy performing the best among the index’s 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,580, +1.07, +0.04%) closed up 1.07 points to 2,580.05. For every seven stocks that rose, eight fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 909 million shares traded. “Everybody is starting the week asking themselves, ‘what is it that is going to move the market farther?’ I think it’s very predictable that we’re going to get some profit taking, it takes courage to step in and buy the stock market when it’s up 10.5% over eight weeks,” said Hugh Johnson, chairman and chief investment officer at Hugh Johnson Advisors.
Commodities including gold and oil ended higher, propelling gold above $1,400 an ounce, with gains limited by a stronger dollar. The dollar index (DXY 77.05, +0.50, +0.66%) rose more than 0.7% to 77.05. The dollar and U.S. stocks often trade on opposite paths, with a weak dollar seen as providing investors with cheap funding to buy stocks. Plus the dollar’s drop generally helps U.S. companies’ overseas sales. Read more on the euro and dollar in Currencies. Johnson, however, dismissed reading too much into the greenback’s rise. “Again, we’re reversing some of the things that have occurred over the last eight weeks. It doesn’t mean the principle downward trend of the dollar has changed, it doesn’t mean that interest rates are about to rise. All the trends that were in place last week are still fine,” Johnson said. Among notable movers, Louisiana-Pacific Corp. (LPX 8.25, -0.56, -6.36%) shares were up 9.6% after the manufacturer of building materials reported a third-quarter loss that was less than analysts had expected. After the market closes on Wednesday, Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO 24.42, +0.03, +0.12%) reports its fiscal first-quarter results, with the globe’s biggest maker of computer-networking equipment viewed as a bellwether for business investment.
