Post No. 774 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 Dec. 7, 2010 and Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of Dec. 11, 2010.

A read of Monday's Barron's, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, 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:sThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,410.32 up 40.28 points or 0.86% from Thursday's close of 11,370.06. For the week the Dow is up 40.36 or 0.35% from last Friday's close of 11,382.09. For the year te Dow is up 9.42%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 22 gained, Cisco was unchanged and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was JPMorgan JPM $41.43 +0.62 1.52% 28,382,080 NYSE and percentage-wise was GE $17.72 +0.59 3.44% 125,734,493 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $64.16 -0.45 0.7% 5,488,845 NYSE and percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $30.75 -0.34 1.09% 8,903,074 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, 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 is 14.55 up from Friday's P/E of 14.50 (year ago it was 18.17); the P/E estimate is 13.34 up from Friday's 13.33 (year ago it was 16.19) and the dividend yield is 2.51 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.65 (last year it was 2.67). 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 1,507.64 up 5.32 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1502.32. 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 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 $50.25 up $0.17 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $50.08. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.44 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.27 from Thursday's closing median price of $44.17. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $78.4 +0.77 0.99% 3,820,287 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.8 +0.15 1.19% 224,106,380 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 $524 ($150,764 - $150,240)

MarketWatch Friday 12/10/10 4:20 pm by Nick Godt says US stocks finished at a two-year high on Friday, and also gained for the week, helped by mostly upbeat economic data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,410, +40.26, +0.35%) rose 40.26 points, or 0.4%, to end at 11,410.32, lifted by a 3.4% gain in shares of General Electric (GE 17.75, +0.03, +0.17%) . For the week, the Dow rose 0.3%. The broad S&P 500 (SPX 1,240, +7.40, +0.60%) gained 7.40 points, or 0.6%, at 1,240.40, a two-year high. It gained 1.3% for the week.
