Post No. 762 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 and recent Dow 30 component's SEC filings.

A read of Monday's Barron's, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, 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:The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,382.09 up 19.68 points or 0.17% from Thursday's close of 11,362.41. For the week the Dow is up 290.09 or 2.61% from last Friday's close of 11,092. For the year the Dow is up 9.15%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 17 gained and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $89.38 +0.76 0.86% 4,999,657 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.86 +0.18 1.54% 164,553,852 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Coke KO $64.5 -0.40 0.62% 10,342,821 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $19.07 -0.15 0.78% 89,384,437 NASDAQ-GS 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 14.51 up from Friday's P/E of 14.49 (year ago it was 18.02); the P/E estimate is 13.33 up from Friday's 12.95 (year ago it was 16.05) and the dividend yield is 2.51 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.52 (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 1,503.91 up 2.60 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1501.31. 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 $50.13 up $0.09 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $50.04. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.95 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.87 from Thursday's closing median price of $43.07. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $86.94 +0.43 0.5% 2,911,358 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.86 +0.18 1.54% 164,553,852 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 $271 ($150,391 - $150,120)

MarketWatch Friday 12/3/10 5:51 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Friday climbed for a third day to end the week higher as Wall Street offered a subdued reaction to disappointing November jobs data that had some expressing doubt and forecasting an upward revision. “The jobs number was surprising, and I’m wondering if next month we get a revision. I mean retail losses in November? You have to take it with a grain of salt,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald, of the Labor Department’s report. The report showed payrolls growth of 39,000 last month, far fewer than the 155,000 gain predicted by analysts surveyed by MarketWatch. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate rises to 9.8%, the highest since April, underlining continued weakness in the labor market. The major indexes ended higher for the week, with the Nasdaq Composite Index nearing a three-year high, thanks largely to rallies on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, the indexes meandered mostly lower most of the session before turning higher late in the day.
After two days of triple-digit gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,382, +19.68, +0.17%) rose 19.68 points, or 0.2%, to 11,382.09, leaving it up 2.6% for the week. Of its 30 components, 17 finished higher. Up 3% for the week, the S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,225, +3.18, +0.26%) gained 3.18 points, or 0.3%, to 1,224.71 on Friday, with natural resources up the most among its 10 sectors. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,591, +12.11, +0.47%) gained 12.11 points, or 0.5%, to 2,591.46, with the technology-laden index gaining 2.2% on the week. “There are definitely things that don’t smell right about it,” said Pado of the payrolls data, pointing to the government’s finding that jobs were lost in retail, a sector that has been reporting robust sales, starting with back-to-school buying and continuing into the holidays. Read a range of reactions to the jobs report.
As a wild year comes to a close, it’s time to spruce up your portfolio with 2010's finishing touches. Retailers have been saying things were looking up for the holidays, “so it seems they would be hiring and not firing,” Pado said. The report also renewed chatter over whether weak data would push the Federal Reserve to expand its quantitative easing program to stimulate the economy. Stocks strengthened after CBS, shortly after 3:30 p.m., said Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke doesn’t rule out expanding the Fed’s $600 billion bond-purchase program in his “60 Minutes” interview, which airs Sunday. Separate reports had a gauge of the services industry showing a slight expansion in November and the government reported a 0.9% decline in factory orders for October. For every two stocks that fell, more than three rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume topped 908 million. Treasurys were mixed, with 10-year note (UST10Y 3.01, +0.01, +0.30%) yields, often used in determining consumer loans, back above 3%. Gold and crude-oil futures climbed on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with gold above $1,400 an ounce and oil topping $89 a barrel. Wall Street’s mild reaction to the jobs report could be an indication that people are “not believing the report so much,” said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. “It doesn’t really change the view of the economy, which is muddling along,” Kleintop added. Cantor Fitzgerald’s Pado argued that the uptick in the unemployment rate is actually positive in that it signals Americans who had given up were re-entering the labor pool in anticipation that the climate was improving.“Workers see the prospect for jobs coming down the pike here,” Pado said.
