Post No. 780 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 Thursday'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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,457.47 down 19.07 points or 0.17% from Tuesday's close of 11,476.54. For the year the Dow is up 9.87%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 9 gained and 21 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $93.12 +1.03 1.12% 8,265,019 NYSE and percentage-wise was Coke KO $64.74 +0.84 1.31% 12,952,373 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $144.72 -1.10 0.75% 4,387,652 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $13.96 -0.24 1.69% 16,521,613 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Dow slides by 19.07 as Alcoa, GE decline" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks fell slightly as investors fretted over euro zone finances, but encouraging US economic data limited the decline. Alcoa was the Dow's worst performer with a drop of 1.7% while JPMorgan fell 58 cents and GE shed 20 cents.

Fin Times p26 "Honeywell declines after profit forecast fails to impress" by Hannah Kuchler says industrial stocks edged lower after strong data on manufacturing activity was overshadowed by a forecast from Honeywell that missed some analyst expectations and the rising dollar. GE fell even though it said it wold finish the year with $20 bil in cash and in the next few years could have $30 bil to spend on takeovers, share buybacks & dividends. Caterpillar rose 1.1% after analysts at RBC Capital Markets raised their price target from $98 to $108 saying it was poised to benefit from a rebound in spending & that its focus on mining machines would help margins.

NYT pB11 "Shares slightly lower from Euro Zone concerns" by AP& USA Today p5B "Europe's crisis turn stock gains to losses" by AP is the same article, different headline and both say early gains in the stock market evaporated Wed after worries about Europe's debt crisis overshadowed signs of growth in the US. Bond prices fell sending long term interest rates higher again.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.61 down from Wednesday's P/E of 14.63 (year ago it was 18.11); the P/E estimate is 13.34 unchanged from Wednesday's 13.34 (year ago it was 16.19) and the dividend yield is 2.50 unchanged from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.50 (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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,513.87 down 2.52 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,516.39. 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 $50.46 down $0.09 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $50.55. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.67 (AXP/HPQ) down 0.20 from Tuesday's closing median price of $44.87. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $55.15 -0.19 0.34% 3,277,958 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.29 -0.11 0.89% 147,899,632 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 loste $252 ($151,639 - $151,387)

MarketWatch Wednesday 12/15/10 4:29 pm Donna Yesalavich says US stocks fell slightly Wednesday as investors fretted over euro-zone finances after Moody's Investors Service said it may downgrade its ratings on Spanish government debt, but encouraging U.S. economic data limited the decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 19.07 points, or 0.17%, to 11457.47, a day after the measure reached its highest close since September 2008. Alcoa was the measure's worst performer with a 1.7% drop, while J.P. Morgan Chase fell 1.4% and General Electric shed 1.1%.
The Nasdaq Composite lost 10.50, or 0.40%, to 2617.22. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index shed 6.36, or 0.51%, to 1235.23. The euro slipped after Moody's said it may downgrade its ratings on Spanish government debt and Standard and Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings outlook on Belgium to negative from stable. The warnings added to investors' worries over the euro zone even as U.S. data showed New York manufacturing activity roared ahead this month after contracting in November, while U.S. industrial production staged a modest rebound in November following a brief drop-off. Capacity utilization bounced back as well. "We seem to be getting better as an economy while you cannot say the same thing about the European economy, especially the affected countries," said Peter Tuz, president at Chase Investment Counsel. In issuing its warning on Spain, Moody's cited the country's challenging refinancing needs next year and a complicated outlook for the country's banks and regional governments. The lowered outlook from S&P on Belgium came as the ratings agency warned that if the country fails to form a government within six months, it could possibly face a one-notch downgrade. Also in the euro zone, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said European leaders will approve a permanent facility to rescue financially stressed governments on Thursday, but again opposed a plan for collective government-debt issuance. Irish lawmakers voted Wednesday to accept EUR67.5 billion in loans from the European Union and International Monetary Fund as part of a EUR85 billion package to shore up Ireland's banks and public finances. Still, investors are thinking, "any bailouts over there, is that really a positive thing?" said Stephen Carl, head equity trader at The Williams Capital Group. "It's just kind of a temporary Band-Aid." Among stocks in focus, U.S. shares of Novartis climbed 5.7%. The company paved the way to take full control of Alcon after sweetening its original share offer with a cash component, ending a drawn-out battle to acquire the remaining 23% of the U.S. eye-care company it doesn't own for a total value of $12.9 billion. Alcon added 1%. Goldman Sachs fell 1.3% and Morgan Stanley shed 1.6% after some Wall Street analysts cut fourth-quarter earnings estimates on the investment banks, citing lower-than-expected trading volumes in fixed income, currencies, and commodities.
