Post No. 849 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 Friday'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 Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 11,989.83 up 4.3 points or 0.04% from Wednesday's close of 11,985.44. For the year the Dow is up 3.56%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 18 gained, Disney and Intel were unchanged and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies UTX $82.59 +1.18 1.45% 4,402,185 NYSE and percentage-wise was GE $20.29 +0.37 1.86% 63,874,478 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $64.18 -1.93 2.92% 23,775,640 NYSE.

WSJ pC6 "Dow sings, misses at 12,000 close" by Kristina Peterson says the Dow fell short again of closing above 12000, as mixed economic data and corp earnings left the market struggling to find direction. Microsoft rose 9 cents after it unexpectedly released its rosy 2Q earnings well before the market closed. Earnings topped analysts' expectations. Procter & Gamble sank 1.93 after its fiscal 2Q profit slid 28% from a year earlier period that included a large gain from discontinued operations, as profit margins were narrowed by rising commodity costs. AT&T fell 60 cents hurt by a steep decline int he number of new customers signed to longer term service contract in 4Q. Earnings narrowly beat analysts' expectations, but rev came up short of forecasts. Caterpillar rose after its 4Q earnings soared, beating analysts' estimates as demand recovered from slumping levels a year earlier. Pfizer expected to compete an application to US regulators by the end of ths year for an experimental anticoagulant, apixaban, that could be a big seller so this boosted its partner in the profit, Bristol Myers. Pfizer also issued a profit forecast for '11 that fell short of Wall St. expectations, citing the effects of a product recall and higher costs associated with the health care overhaul. Caterpillar was charted under Good News and Procter & Gamble and AT&T were charted under Bad News.

Fin Times p28 "Caterpillar's soaring profits buck trend amid poor bellwether results" by Michael Stothard says soaring profit for Caterpillar lifted industrials but sentiment for US stocks was tempered as other US bellwethers such as Procter & Gamble and AT&T posted weaker results and there was a surprise jump in unemployment claims.

NYT pB7 "Wall St closes up a bit; 2 indexes near milestones" by Reuters says the Dow and the S&P 500 struggled to get past the 12000 mark but investors see more gains for firms that outperform their earnings as Microsoft surprised Wall St with better than expected profit.

USA Today p4B "Stocks maanged to close with slight gains" by Bloomberg says stocks swung between gains & losses as pending home sales and Qualcomm's forecast beat projections, offsetting Japan's credit downgrade and higher than estimated US jobless claims.

As of the open of the market Friday, 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 14.80 down from Thursday's 14.90 (year ago it was 16.26); the P/E estimate is 12.59 unchanged from Thursday's 12.59 (year ago it was 13.30), and the dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Thursday's 2.40 (last year it was 2.71). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,584.21 up 0.59 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,583.62. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.81 up $0.02 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $52.79. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.92 (HPQ/JPM) down $0.03 from Wednesday's median closing price of $45.95. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $89.19 -0.38 0.42% 3,257,384 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.65 +0.10 0.74% 142,701,203 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $59 ($158421 - $158,362).

MarketWatch Thursday 1/27/11 4:13 by Laura Mandaro says US stocks closed a topsy-turvy session with slight gains Thursday, with investors focused on a flood of earnings, some mixed news on jobless claims and pending home sales, and talk of an expected pullback from stocks' recent rally. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,990, +4.39, +0.04%) closed up 4.39 points, or 0.04%, at 11,989.83, led by 1.8% gains in General Electric Co. (GE 20.28, +0.36, +1.81%) shares. A 2.9% drop in Procter & Gamble (PG 63.83, -0.36, -0.55%) shares weighed. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,300, +2.91, +0.22%) rose 2.91 points, or 0.2%, to 1,299.54, led by a 15% rise in the shares of Netflix Inc. (NFLX 210.26, -0.61, -0.29%) . The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,755, +15.78, +0.58%) added 15.78 points, or 0.6%, to 2,755.28.
