Post No. 829 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 Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of January 10, 2011.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Sunday's and Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution & Saturday/Sunday's combined issues of each of Wall St. Journal & Financial Times 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 Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,787.38 up 55.48 points or 0.47% from Thursday's close of 11,731.9. For the year the Dow is up 1.81%. For the week the Dow is up 112.62 or 0.96% from last Friday's close of 11,674.76. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $74.06 +1.39 1.91% 10,558,576 NYSE and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $46.25 +1.19 2.64% 10,490,736 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck MRK $34.23- 0.46 1.33% 41,594,243 NYSE.

WSJ pB8 "DJIA back at June '08 levels" by Donna Kardos yesalavich says stocks reached their highest closing levels in 2 and 1/2 years, driven by a rally in the fin'l sector following stronger than expected earnings from JPMorgan Chase. Acloa, Intel and JPMorgan are charted, all reporting strong earnings with Alcoa posting better results amid rising demand and prices for aluminum, Intel's rose event though Apple devices undercut demand for PCs that use Intel's chips and JPMorgan benefited from more demands for loans. JPMorgan caused Bank of America's shares to also jump 48 cents.

Fin Times p14 "JPMorgan's strength pulls up rest of fin'l sector" by Michael Stothard says strong results from JPMorgan, the first of the leading US banks to report its 4Q earnings, dragged up the rest of the fin'l sector as ivnestors hoped that other results would be as equally positive.

NYT pB7 "Fin'l sector helps S&P extend its gains" by Reuters says the S&P 500 stock index rose for a 7th straight week on Fri, led by fin'l firms afer JPMorgan released an encouraging earnings report. Strength in fin'l stocks helped offset economic reports that showed soft Dec retail sales & consumer confidence that was hurt by rising gas prices. The market's resilience will be tested next week when a number of banks report results. JPMorgan's stocks has risen 5.9% in the first 2 weeks of the year.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal was 0.132129493. The trailing P/E is 14.87 down from Friday's 14.88 (year ago it was 17.79); the P/E estimate is 12.75 down from Friday's 13.55 (year ago it was 13.65), and the dividend yield is 2.44 down from yesterday's 2.45 (last year it was 2.58). 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 1,557.45 up 7.32 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,550.13. 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 7.57 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.92 up $0.25 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $51.67. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.25 (HPQ/AXP) down $0.09 from Thursday's median closing price of $45.36. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.1 +0.06 0.07% 2,089,290 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $15.25 +0.48 3.25% 281,237,861 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 $733 ($155,746 - $155,013).

MarketWatch Friday 1/14/11 4:17 by Nick Godt says U.S. stocks rose on Friday, and posted strong gains for the week, as easing concerns about European sovereign debt and upbeat earnings, including from JP Morgan Chase, fueled investor optimism. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,787, +55.40, +0.47%) rose 55.48 points, or 0.5%, to end at 11,787.38 on Friday. Blue-chip gains were led by a 3.3% gain in shares of Bank of America (BAC 15.25, +0.48, +3.25%) and a 2.6% advance in American Express (AXP 46.27, +0.02, +0.03%) . JP Morgan Chase (JPM 44.94, +0.03, +0.07%) rose 1% after its quarterly results topped expectations. For the week, the Dow industrials gained 1%. The S&P 500 index (SPX 1,293, +9.48, +0.74%) rose 9.48 points, or 0.7%, to 1,293.24 on Friday, led by a 1.7% gain in the financial sector. For the week, the broad index rose 1.7%. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,755, +20.01, +0.73%) gained 20 points, or 0.7%, to 2,755.30 on Friday. For the week, it gained 1.9%.
