Post No. 510. 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 6/4/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 6/4/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 9,774.02 down 96.228 or 0.98% from Tuesday's close of 9,870.3. Of the 30 Dow Companies: only 3M gained and 29 declined. The only gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was 3M MMM $78.99 +0.50 0.64% 6,942,318 NYSE .The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $123.48 -1.61 1.29% 8,016,734 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $10.06 -0.28 2.71% 34,435,463 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.35 down from Tuesday's 14.74 (year ago it was 12.30) the P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.60 (year ago it was 13.62) and the current dividend yield is 2.81 up from Tuesday's 2.73 (it was 3.42 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,293.29 down 12.79 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,306.03. 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 of 12.79 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Wednesday's Dow of 96.28. 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 $43.11 down 0.42 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $43.53. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.15 down $0.42 from Tuesday's median price of $38.57. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.25 -0.48 0.97% 4,426,230 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.37 -0.20 1.37% 138,694,144 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 lost $1,260 ($130,590 - $129,330).

MarketWatch 6/30/10 Wed. 5:00 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks slumped on Wednesday, leading the market to its worst quarter since December 2008, as economic concerns continued to pile on. A disappointing private-sector jobs report offset more upbeat manufacturing data ahead of Friday's monthly employment report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 9,774, -96.28, -0.98%) fell 96.28 points, or 1%, to 9,774.02 on Wednesday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,031, -10.53, -1.01%) fell 10.53 points, or 1%, to 1,030.71, while the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,109, -25.94, -1.22%) fell 25.94 points, or 1.2%, to 2,109.24. For June, the Dow industrials fell 3.6%, the S&P 500 fell 5.4% and the Nasdaq dropped 6.6%. For the second quarter, the Dow lost 10%, marking its first drop after four straight quarters of growth. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq fell 12% each during the quarter, with the two indexes posting their worst quarter since December 2008. While corporate results have largely exceeded expectations, worries have mounted about the U.S. economic recovery, which has been hindered by a persistently high unemployment rate and a troubled housing market. In recent weeks, Europe's ability to deal with its debt crisis and worries about a possible economic slowdown in China have plagued Wall Street. On Wednesday, manufacturer 3M Co. (MMM 78.99, +0.50, +0.64%) was the only gainer on the Dow, up 0.6%. Alcoa Inc. (AA 10.03, -0.03, -0.30%) was the Dow's greatest laggard, off 2.7%. For every stock on the decline nearly two were rising on the New York Stock Exchange, where more than 1.4 billion shares traded. The Institute for Supply Management said manufacturing activity in the Chicago region slipped a bit in June, but remained at relatively high levels that still indicate overall expansion. A separate report Wednesday showed that companies added far fewer employees than anticipated in June after a revised 57,000 hike the month before. The ADP report rankled sentiment ahead of Friday's monthly jobs report from the Labor Department. Signaling European banks might be in better fiscal shape than thought, the European Central Bank said Wednesday that it would loan financial institutions 131.9 billion euros, or $161.5 billion, for three months. Demand for the ECB cash proved less than expected, fueling optimism ahead of Thursday's deadline for banks to repay 442 billion euros in 12-month funds to the ECB. Curbing enthusiasm some, Moody's Wednesday afternoon said it was putting Spain's triple-A rating on review for a credit downgrade.

GE declined 3.5% as a fed appeals ct rejected its challenge to part of the fed Superfund law that gives the EPA the power to order firms to order clean up of sites tainted with waste.

WSJ pC1 "Fear Returns for Quarter's Final Act" by Mark Gongloff says the 2nd quarter's biggest worries took an unwelcome curtain call on Tues., hitting global markets. The trifecta fo trouble - European debt woes, China's slowing growth & the stagnating US recovery - conspired to put the quarter on the cusp of being the worst for US stocks in more than a year. All 3 concerns flared anew as the dow fell 268.22 to slide under 10000, putting it n pace for the first quarterly decline since the bull market began.

NYT pB1 "Wall St. Tallies new Losses With a Bear market in Mind" by Christine Hauser says that fears that the global economy will worsen gripped the fin'l markets Tues. Downbeat economic news that investors might have shrugged off in calmer times sent the broad stock market tumbling to its lowest level this year.

Fin Times p24 "Drop in consmer confidence pushes S&P to 2010 nadir" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks dropped sharply yesterday as the already jittery market was unnerved further by a downward revision ito an economic index fro China and falling US consumer confidence figures. Caterpillar slid 5.5% as it said it would buy out one of its partners in a Chinese jv. Bank of America fell 4.4% and JPMorgan fell 3.8% following a report by Moody's arguing that the 3 largest US debit card issues may lose a combined $1.38 bil in annual rev from the proposed cap on interchange fees being considered by Congress. Consumer staples stocks, typically seen as a defensive sector, were among the session's best performers in a falling market. The group was led by Procter & Gamble which fell 0.5%. Johnson & Johnson lost 0.4%.

USA Today p4B "Markets hit hard: Dow under 10000" by AP says stocks and interest raes tumbled Tues after signs of slowing economies from China to the US spooked traders who were already uneasy about global recovery.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,306.03 down 35.49 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,341.52. 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 of 35.49 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of268.22. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

MarketWatch 6/29/10 Tues. 4:47 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply to finish at their lowest level of the year Tuesday after a drop in consumer confidence here and in leading indicators in China dimmed hopes of a global economic recovery.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 9,870, -268.22, -2.65%) fell 268 points, or 2.7%, to end at 9,870.30, its lowest close since early November. Shares of Alcoa Inc. (AA 10.36, +0.02, +0.19%) and Boeing Co. (BA 63.08, +0.04, +0.06%) weighed particularly on blue chips, with both falling more than 6%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,041, -33.33, -3.10%) lost 33.33 points, or 3.1%, to 1,041.24, its lowest level since late October. The broad index was weighed down by a 3.9% drop in both its industrials and financials sectors. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,135, -85.47, -3.85%) was the hardest hit of the three major averages, slumping 85.47 points, or 3.9%, to 2,135.18. Industrial companies and natural-resource firms were among the hardest hit after the Conference Board revised downward its leading economic index for China. Read about outlook cut for China. Shares of Titanium Metals Corp. (TIE 17.77, -0.05, -0.29%) and AK Steel Holding Corp. (AKS 12.06, -0.01, -0.08%) were both off 8.2%. Treasurys rally sharply, with the 10-year yield falling below 3%, while stocks and commodities fall as investors grow more nervous about global growth. Worries about the recovery in China, weakness in Japan and the looming expiry of a key ECB bank-lending program are all fueling jitters ahead of the end of the quarter. For every stock that rose, more than 14 were on the decline on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.6 billion shares traded. Already down sharply, the major indexes fell further after the Conference Board's confidence index dropped to 52.9 in June from a revised 62.7 the month before. Read more about consumer confidence. Earlier, the S&P/Case-Shiller index showed home prices in 20 U.S. cities rising in April, with the jump mostly attributed to a tax credit. The downbeat sentiment had investors flocking to government debt, with yields on the 2-year Treasury note falling to record lows.Europe's common currency also fell, with labor strikes in Greece and Spain illustrating discontent with the continent's austerity measures.

Post No. 509. 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 6/4/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 6/4/10.

A read of Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Georgia Daily Report & 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 9,870.3 down 268.22 or 2.65% from Monday's close of 10,138.52. For the year the Dow is down 5.35%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: none gained and all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was NYSE and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $63.04 -4.26 6.33% 9,212,875 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Boeing, Alcoa, GE Stumble" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks tumbled as concerns about global growth sent investors away from firms such as Boeing, Alcoa and Caterpillar, and toward the safety of the dollar and Treasury's. Boeing is charted under Bad News as the future of a jetliner order from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise appears uncertain. GE declined 3.5% as a fed appeals ct rejected its challenge to part of the fed Superfund law that gives the EPA the power to order firms to order clean up of sites tainted with waste.

WSJ pC1 "Fear Returns for Quarter's Final Act" by Mark Gongloff says the 2nd quarter's biggest worries took an unwelcome curtain call on Tues., hitting global markets. The trifecta fo trouble - European debt woes, China's slowing growth & the stagnating US recovery - conspired to put the quarter on the cusp of being the worst for US stocks in more than a year. All 3 concerns flared anew as the dow fell 268.22 to slide under 10000, putting it n pace for the first quarterly decline since the bull market began.

NYT pB1 "Wall St. Tallies new Losses With a Bear market in Mind" by Christine Hauser says that fears that the global economy will worsen gripped the fin'l markets Tues. Downbeat economic news that investors might have shrugged off in calmer times sent the broad stock market tumbling to its lowest level this year.

Fin Times p24 "Drop in consmer confidence pushes S&P to 2010 nadir" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks dropped sharply yesterday as the already jittery market was unnerved further by a downward revision ito an economic index fro China and falling US consumer confidence figures. Caterpillar slid 5.5% as it said it would buy out one of its partners in a Chinese jv. Bank of America fell 4.4% and JPMorgan fell 3.8% following a report by Moody's arguing that the 3 largest US debit card issues may lose a combined $1.38 bil in annual rev from the proposed cap on interchange fees being considered by Congress. Consumer staples stocks, typically seen as a defensive sector, were among the session's best performers in a falling market. The group was led by Procter & Gamble which fell 0.5%. Johnson & Johnson lost 0.4%.

USA Today p4B "Markets hit hard: Dow under 10000" by AP says stocks and interest raes tumbled Tues after signs of slowing economies from China to the US spooked traders who were already uneasy about global recovery.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.35 down from Tuesday's 14.74 (year ago it was 12.30) the P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from Tuesday's 12.60 (year ago it was 13.62) and the current dividend yield is 2.81 up from Tuesday's 2.73 (it was 3.42 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,306.03 down 35.49 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,341.52. 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 of 35.49 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of268.22. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.53 down 1.19 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.72. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.57 down $1.75 from Monday's median price of $40.32. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.73 -1.34 2.62% 5,661,692 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.57 -0.67 4.4% 202,000,694 NYSE.

If Tuesday 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 lost $3,562 ($ 134,152 - $130,590).

MarketWatch 6/29/10 Tues. 4:47 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply to finish at their lowest level of the year Tuesday after a drop in consumer confidence here and in leading indicators in China dimmed hopes of a global economic recovery.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 9,870, -268.22, -2.65%) fell 268 points, or 2.7%, to end at 9,870.30, its lowest close since early November. Shares of Alcoa Inc. (AA 10.36, +0.02, +0.19%) and Boeing Co. (BA 63.08, +0.04, +0.06%) weighed particularly on blue chips, with both falling more than 6%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,041, -33.33, -3.10%) lost 33.33 points, or 3.1%, to 1,041.24, its lowest level since late October. The broad index was weighed down by a 3.9% drop in both its industrials and financials sectors. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,135, -85.47, -3.85%) was the hardest hit of the three major averages, slumping 85.47 points, or 3.9%, to 2,135.18. Industrial companies and natural-resource firms were among the hardest hit after the Conference Board revised downward its leading economic index for China. Read about outlook cut for China. Shares of Titanium Metals Corp. (TIE 17.77, -0.05, -0.29%) and AK Steel Holding Corp. (AKS 12.06, -0.01, -0.08%) were both off 8.2%. Treasurys rally sharply, with the 10-year yield falling below 3%, while stocks and commodities fall as investors grow more nervous about global growth. Worries about the recovery in China, weakness in Japan and the looming expiry of a key ECB bank-lending program are all fueling jitters ahead of the end of the quarter. For every stock that rose, more than 14 were on the decline on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.6 billion shares traded. Already down sharply, the major indexes fell further after the Conference Board's confidence index dropped to 52.9 in June from a revised 62.7 the month before. Read more about consumer confidence. Earlier, the S&P/Case-Shiller index showed home prices in 20 U.S. cities rising in April, with the jump mostly attributed to a tax credit. The downbeat sentiment had investors flocking to government debt, with yields on the 2-year Treasury note falling to record lows.Europe's common currency also fell, with labor strikes in Greece and Spain illustrating discontent with the continent's austerity measures.

6/29/10 Tues. pm Dow Closes 9,870.3 down 268.22 or 2.65%

www.DowJonesMonitor.com

The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report. Any comments by third-parties do not reflect the views of Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. and have not been reviewed by us for completeness or accuracy.

Post No. 508. 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 6/4/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 6/4/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 9,870.3 down 268.22 or 2.65% from Monday's close of 10,138.52. Of the 30 Dow Companies: none gained and all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was NYSE and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $63.04 -4.26 6.33% 9,212,875 NYSE.

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 is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.74 down from Monday's 14.75 (year ago it was 12.42) the P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from Monday's 12.60 (year ago it was 13.62) and the current dividend yield is 2.73 unchanged from Monday's 2.73 (it was 3.339 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,306.03 down 35.49 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,341.52. 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 of 35.49 for Tuesday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Tuesday's Dow of268.22. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.53 down 1.19 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.72. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.57 down $1.75 from Monday's median price of $40.32. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.73 -1.34 2.62% 5,661,692 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $14.57 -0.67 4.4% 202,000,694 NYSE.

If Tuesday 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 lost $3,562 ($ 134,152 - $130,590).

MarketWatch 6/29/10 Tues. 4:47 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell sharply to finish at their lowest level of the year Tuesday after a drop in consumer confidence here and in leading indicators in China dimmed hopes of a global economic recovery.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 9,870, -268.22, -2.65%) fell 268 points, or 2.7%, to end at 9,870.30, its lowest close since early November. Shares of Alcoa Inc. (AA 10.36, +0.02, +0.19%) and Boeing Co. (BA 63.08, +0.04, +0.06%) weighed particularly on blue chips, with both falling more than 6%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,041, -33.33, -3.10%) lost 33.33 points, or 3.1%, to 1,041.24, its lowest level since late October. The broad index was weighed down by a 3.9% drop in both its industrials and financials sectors. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,135, -85.47, -3.85%) was the hardest hit of the three major averages, slumping 85.47 points, or 3.9%, to 2,135.18. Industrial companies and natural-resource firms were among the hardest hit after the Conference Board revised downward its leading economic index for China. Read about outlook cut for China. Shares of Titanium Metals Corp. (TIE 17.77, -0.05, -0.29%) and AK Steel Holding Corp. (AKS 12.06, -0.01, -0.08%) were both off 8.2%. Treasurys rally sharply, with the 10-year yield falling below 3%, while stocks and commodities fall as investors grow more nervous about global growth. Worries about the recovery in China, weakness in Japan and the looming expiry of a key ECB bank-lending program are all fueling jitters ahead of the end of the quarter. For every stock that rose, more than 14 were on the decline on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.6 billion shares traded. Already down sharply, the major indexes fell further after the Conference Board's confidence index dropped to 52.9 in June from a revised 62.7 the month before. Read more about consumer confidence. Earlier, the S&P/Case-Shiller index showed home prices in 20 U.S. cities rising in April, with the jump mostly attributed to a tax credit. The downbeat sentiment had investors flocking to government debt, with yields on the 2-year Treasury note falling to record lows.Europe's common currency also fell, with labor strikes in Greece and Spain illustrating discontent with the continent's austerity measures.

*************************
The following are excerpts from Tues. morning's Blog.

A read of Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Georgia Daily Report & 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,138.52 down $5.29 or 0.05% from Friday's close of 10,143.81. For the year the Dow is down 2.14%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $128.98 +1.86 1.46% 6,156,776 NYSE and percentage-wise were Coke KO $51.08 +0.82 1.63% 11,386,650 NYSE and Intel INTC $20.36 +0.3275 1.63% 53,991,542 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $67.3 -1.47 2.14% 4,827,276 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $38.54 -0.90 2.28% 39,478,785 NYSE.

WSJ pC6 "Altria, Lorillard Log Gains" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks closed slightly lower Mon, with Boeing among the decliners as investors grew concerned about the potential impact on global growth from the Group of 20's pledge to cut deficits. JPMorgan was the Dow's worst performer with a decline of 2.3% while Boeing slipped 2.1% and Alcoa dropped 1.8%. Intel climbed 1.6%, Coke advanced 1.6% and Walmart added 1.6%.

WSJ pC1 "Yields Falling as Fears Rise Over Outlook" by Peter McKay says treasurys of all stripes ended Mon within reach of big milestones as fears about the fragile state of the global economy kept investors buying US gov debt. The yield on the 10 year Treasury note was at 3.023% and may go below 3% for the first time since April '09 while the 30 yr Treasury has a yield of 4.01% and could dip below 4%.

NYT pB6 "Consumer Shares Gain, But Indexes Close Lower" says stocks ended slightly lower on Mon as gains in consumer related stocks, including tobacco shares, were offset by losses in the energy sector. Coke and Procter & Gamble were 2 of the Dow's best performers.

Fin Times p22 "Altria bolstered by court snub to anti-tobacco appeal" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks traded in a tight range Mon, closing slightly lower on the day, as investors digested the details of Fri's bank reform bill as well as the results of the weekend's G20 meeting.

USA Today p6B "Lack of conviction sends stocks down" by Bloomberg says stocks dipped Mon sending the S&P 500 index lower fort he firth time in 6 sessions, as declines in oil and metal prices dragged down commodity producers. Alcoa fell 20 cents as it agreed to buy closely held Traco to expand its offering of windows and doors for commercial buildings.

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 is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.74 down from Monday's 14.75 (year ago it was 12.42) the P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from Monday's 12.60 (year ago it was 13.62) and the current dividend yield is 2.73 unchanged from Monday's 2.73 (it was 3.339 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,341.52 down 0.70 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,342.22. 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 of 0.70 for Monday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Monday's Dow of 0.29. 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 $44.72 down 0.06 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.78. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.32 up $2.04 from Friday's median price of $41.06. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $78.98 +0.08 0.1% 3,004,316 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.24 -0.18 1.17% 109,437,492 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 lost $70 ($ 134,222 - $134,152).

MarketWatch 6/28/10 Mon. 4:50 pm by Peter McKay, Donna Yesalavich, Kristin Peterson says a late-day slump left major stock indexes slightly lower at Monday's close as traders fretted that the Group of 20's pledge to cut deficits could crimp global growth -- a key focus for investors over the past few weeks. Several business-friendly decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court helped to lift traders' sentiment somewhat, keeping the day's selling in check. But investors' newfound caution ultimately carried the day, as stocks fell into the red and bond prices rallied, pushing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note (UST10Y 3.02, -0.09, -2.80%) to 3.032%, the lowest level since April 2009. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,139, -5.29, -0.05%) shed more than 50 points in the last hour of trading to end down 5.29 points, or 0.1%, at 10,138.52. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,221, -2.83, -0.13%) fell 0.1% to 2,221. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,075, -2.19, -0.20%) fell 0.2% to 1,075. The telecom sector was a bright spot, up 1% after President Barack Obama signed a memorandum to nearly double the amount of federal and commercial spectrum available for smart phones and wireless Internet devices. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S 4.47, +0.01, +0.22%) jumped 6.2%, while MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS 8.41, -0.08, -0.94%) added 0.8% and AT&T Inc. (T 25.00, +0.05, +0.20%) rose 0.7%. Consumer-staples stocks rose after the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the government, which sought to revive a rejected attempt to get tobacco companies to forfeit up to $280 billion in profits and pay $10 billion for smoking-cessation programs. The tobacco companies had also filed an appeal. Reynolds American (RAI 53.59, +0.14, +0.26%) jumped 4.1%, Altria Group (MO 20.43, +0.09, +0.45%) rose 3.3% and Lorillard (LO 71.83, -1.71, -2.33%) climbed 2.5%. Also providing a boost, a divided Supreme Court struck down some provisions that created a private regulatory body to inspect and discipline public-company accountants. Still, the relatively narrow ruling leaves intact most of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed in 2002 to combat corporate-accounting scandals. Meanwhile, investors grew concerned that a pledge by G-20 nations to halve their deficits by 2013 and stabilize their debt by 2016 sends an important symbolic message that the days of endless stimulus are over. The move comes as investors have gotten worried that the pace of the economic recovery may be slowing, exacerbated by debt issues in Europe and China's efforts to put the brakes on its growth. Those concerns helped lift safety assets. The dollar strengthened against both the yen and the euro, which recently traded around $1.2274, down from $1.2386 late Friday in New York. The U.S. dollar index (DXY 85.70, +0.39, +0.45%) , which tracks the U.S. currency against a basket of six others, rose 0.5%. Demand for Treasurys climbed, with the 10-year note (UST10Y 3.02, -0.09, -2.80%) up, pushing its yield down to 3.032%, the lowest level in more than a year.
Gold futures also rose. Meanwhile, crude-oil futures slipped. Among stocks in focus, Aflac climbed 2.7%. The insurer said it will post an $80 million gain but will also take a $67 million charge in the current quarter on deals involving so-called perpetual securities and the sale of all its Greek sovereign debt.

Post No. 507. 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 6/4/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 6/4/10.

A read of Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Georgia Daily Report & 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 10,138.52 down $5.29 or 0.05% from Friday's close of 10,143.81. For the year the Dow is down 2.14%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $128.98 +1.86 1.46% 6,156,776 NYSE and percentage-wise were Coke KO $51.08 +0.82 1.63% 11,386,650 NYSE and Intel INTC $20.36 +0.3275 1.63% 53,991,542 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $67.3 -1.47 2.14% 4,827,276 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $38.54 -0.90 2.28% 39,478,785 NYSE.

WSJ pC6 "Altria, Lorillard Log Gains" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks closed slightly lower Mon, with Boeing among the decliners as investors grew concerned about the potential impact on global growth from the Group of 20's pledge to cut deficits. JPMorgan was the Dow's worst performer with a decline of 2.3% while Boeing slipped 2.1% and Alcoa dropped 1.8%. Intel climbed 1.6%, Coke advanced 1.6% and Walmart added 1.6%.

WSJ pC1 "Yields Falling as Fears Rise Over Outlook" by Peter McKay says treasurys of all stripes ended Mon within reach of big milestones as fears about the fragile state of the global economy kept investors buying US gov debt. The yield on the 10 year Treasury note was at 3.023% and may go below 3% for the first time since April '09 while the 30 yr Treasury has a yield of 4.01% and could dip below 4%.

NYT pB6 "Consumer Shares Gain, But Indexes Close Lower" says stocks ended slightly lower on Mon as gains in consumer related stocks, including tobacco shares, were offset by losses in the energy sector. Coke and Procter & Gamble were 2 of the Dow's best performers.

Fin Times p22 "Altria bolstered by court snub to anti-tobacco appeal" by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks traded in a tight range Mon, closing slightly lower on the day, as investors digested the details of Fri's bank reform bill as well as the results of the weekend's G20 meeting.

USA Today p6B "Lack of conviction sends stocks down" by Bloomberg says stocks dipped Mon sending the S&P 500 index lower fort he firth time in 6 sessions, as declines in oil and metal prices dragged down commodity producers. Alcoa fell 20 cents as it agreed to buy closely held Traco to expand its offering of windows and doors for commercial buildings.

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 is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.74 down from Monday's 14.75 (year ago it was 12.42) the P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from Monday's 12.60 (year ago it was 13.62) and the current dividend yield is 2.73 unchanged from Monday's 2.73 (it was 3.339 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,341.52 down 0.70 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,342.22. 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 of 0.70 for Monday by the divisor (0.132319125) you get the decrease in Monday's Dow of 0.29. 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 $44.72 down 0.06 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $44.78. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.32 up $2.04 from Friday's median price of $41.06. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $78.98 +0.08 0.1% 3,004,316 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $15.24 -0.18 1.17% 109,437,492 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 lost $70 ($ 134,222 - $134,152).

MarketWatch 6/28/10 Mon. 4:50 pm by Peter McKay, Donna Yesalavich, Kristin Peterson says a late-day slump left major stock indexes slightly lower at Monday's close as traders fretted that the Group of 20's pledge to cut deficits could crimp global growth -- a key focus for investors over the past few weeks. Several business-friendly decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court helped to lift traders' sentiment somewhat, keeping the day's selling in check. But investors' newfound caution ultimately carried the day, as stocks fell into the red and bond prices rallied, pushing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note (UST10Y 3.02, -0.09, -2.80%) to 3.032%, the lowest level since April 2009. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,139, -5.29, -0.05%) shed more than 50 points in the last hour of trading to end down 5.29 points, or 0.1%, at 10,138.52. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,221, -2.83, -0.13%) fell 0.1% to 2,221. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,075, -2.19, -0.20%) fell 0.2% to 1,075. The telecom sector was a bright spot, up 1% after President Barack Obama signed a memorandum to nearly double the amount of federal and commercial spectrum available for smart phones and wireless Internet devices. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S 4.47, +0.01, +0.22%) jumped 6.2%, while MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS 8.41, -0.08, -0.94%) added 0.8% and AT&T Inc. (T 25.00, +0.05, +0.20%) rose 0.7%. Consumer-staples stocks rose after the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the government, which sought to revive a rejected attempt to get tobacco companies to forfeit up to $280 billion in profits and pay $10 billion for smoking-cessation programs. The tobacco companies had also filed an appeal. Reynolds American (RAI 53.59, +0.14, +0.26%) jumped 4.1%, Altria Group (MO 20.43, +0.09, +0.45%) rose 3.3% and Lorillard (LO 71.83, -1.71, -2.33%) climbed 2.5%. Also providing a boost, a divided Supreme Court struck down some provisions that created a private regulatory body to inspect and discipline public-company accountants. Still, the relatively narrow ruling leaves intact most of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed in 2002 to combat corporate-accounting scandals. Meanwhile, investors grew concerned that a pledge by G-20 nations to halve their deficits by 2013 and stabilize their debt by 2016 sends an important symbolic message that the days of endless stimulus are over. The move comes as investors have gotten worried that the pace of the economic recovery may be slowing, exacerbated by debt issues in Europe and China's efforts to put the brakes on its growth. Those concerns helped lift safety assets. The dollar strengthened against both the yen and the euro, which recently traded around $1.2274, down from $1.2386 late Friday in New York.
