Post No. 873 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 February 14, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,268.19 down 5.07 points or 0.04% from Friday's close of 12,273.26. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 12 gained, Johnson & Johnson was unchanged and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was ExxonMobil XOM $84.91 +2.09 2.52% 32,856,175 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart WMT $54.8 -0.89 1.6% 16,127,159 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 15.03 up from Friday's 14.95 (year ago it was 16.36); the P/E estimate is 12.81 up from Friday's 12.64 (year ago it was 12.85), and the dividend yield is 2.35 down from Friday's 2.36 (last year it was 2.70). 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 1,620.99 down 1.67 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,621.66. 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 7.57 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.03 down $0.03 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $54.06. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.43 (HPQ/JPM) down 0.27 from Friday's median closing price of $47.70. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $85.21 +0.01 0.01% 2,767,822 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.89 +0.12 0.81% 110,827,187 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 $67 ($162,166 - $162,099)

MarketWatch Monday 2/14/11 4:26 by Kristina Peterson says on an otherwise quiet day in the U.S. stock market, energy stocks strengthened as Brent crude-oil futures touched a two-year high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 5.07 points, or 0.04%, at 12268.19. Weighing on the measure, Wal-Mart Stores fell 1.6% after J.P. Morgan Chase cut the retailer's stock-investment rating to neutral from overweight, predicting that same-store sales deterioration could last for years, not quarters. Verizon Communications was also weak, down 1.3%. Keeping the Dow's losses in check, energy companies strengthened as concerns over whether political turmoil could spread in the Middle East sent Brent oil futures to a two-year high. Exxon Mobil rose 2.5%, while Chevron gained 1.3%.
General Electric rose 0.8% after agreeing to buy the well-support division of U.K. firm John Wood Group for $2.8 billion in cash to bolster its oil and gas services business in areas like extracting natural gas from shale. The Nasdaq Composite added 7.74, or 0.28%, to 2817.18, its highest close since Nov. 6, 2007. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 3.17, or 0.24% to 1332.32, closing at its highest level since June 19, 2008. The S&P 500's gains were led by its energy and materials sectors. A bigger-than-expected surge of imports and exports in China last month lifted hopes that demand could rise for materials stocks. Mining company Cliffs Natural Resources rose 5.9%, while aluminum giant Alcoa gained 1.3%. In the aftermath of the regime change in Egypt and with no major economic data on the calendar Monday, strategists said there was little pushing the market in either direction. "Nothing is motivating investors to make radical shifts in their portfolios," said John Chisholm, chief investment officer at Acadian Asset Management.
Meanwhile, the euro dropped to a three-week low against the dollar as concerns over the health of German bank WestLB brought the fragility of the region's financial sector again to the forefront. Euro-zone leaders on Monday also failed to nail down any specifics about increasing the size or scope of Europe's bailout fund for debt-stressed states, helping to send the euro to $1.3482, down from $1.3547 late Friday in New York.
Investors worried about the region's ability to regain its footing.
"Problems which originate from debt take a long time to solve, as we are learning in our economy," said Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors. "Europe will be wrestling with similar headwinds for some time to come, as will we." Still, the Stoxx 600 Europe index closed up 0.4%. In Asia, the Nikkei Stock Average and Shanghai Composite reached new 2011 closing highs, boosted by the Chinese trade data.
Among stocks in focus, Netflix rose 7.1% after the company became the only paid video service to be a top-10 video service on the Web by total number of streams and unique visitors, according to Nielsen. MGM Resorts International fell 3% after its fourth-quarter loss narrowed significantly from a year earlier, but the company's casino revenue declined and revenue per available room fell on the Las Vegas Strip.
Motorola Mobility Holdings slid 5.5% after agreeing to buy a small company developing software to boost the security of mobile devices powered by the Android operating system and spur wider use by businesses, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. U.S.-listed shares of Nokia dropped 5.6%, extending its decline on Friday's announcement of a partnership with Microsoft. J.P. Morgan Cazenove downgraded Nokia to underweight from overweight, saying that "the degree to which the [Microsoft] deal is beneficial to Nokia is still unclear." On Monday, Nokia Chief Executive Stephen Elop said the company hopes to launch its first smartphone based on Microsoft's Windows Phone platform this year. Seahawk Drilling tumbled 41% after the company said late Friday it would file for bankruptcy protection and sell its assets to Hercules Offshore, whose shares rose 18%. Demand for U.S. Treasurys was mixed, with the two-year note slightly down and the 10-year note up, sending its yield down to 3.62%. Gold futures settled slightly higher.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, the Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution * Daily Report (Ga) (carries Bloomberg) 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 12,273.26 up 43.97 points or 0.36% from Thursday's close of 12,229.29. For the week the Dow is up 181.11 points or %1.49% from last Friday's close of 12,092.15. For the year the Dow is up 6.01%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $103.54 +2.94 2.92% 6,406,336 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $72.14 -0.52 0.72% 4,069,217 NYSE.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,621.66 up 5.81 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,615.85. 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 $54.06 up $0.20 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $53.86. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.70 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.14 from Thursday's median closing price of $47.56. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $85.2 +0.45 0.53% 2,909,962 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14. 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 $442 ($162,166 - $161,724)

MarketWatch Friday 2/11/11 4:54 by Kristina Peterson says US stocks climbed Friday, concluding a second-straight week of gains at fresh 2 1/2-year closing highs after the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak removed a layer of uncertainty from global markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,273, +43.97, +0.36%) rose 43.97 points, or 0.36%, to 12,273.26, its highest close since June 13, 2008. The measure rose 1.5% this week and posted its strongest two-week performance since June with a 3.8% jump over the period. U.S. stocks head into the new week on a positive footing, a trend that could be affected in coming days by data on retail sales, earnings news from the likes of Dell and CBS, along with further developments in Egypt's political upheaval. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,809, +18.99, +0.68%) rose 18.99, or 0.68%, to 2,809.44, its highest close since Nov. 6, 2007. It climbed 1.45% this week. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index (SPX 1,329, +7.28, +0.55%) added 7.28, or 0.55%, to 1,329.15, its highest close since June 19, 2008. It leapt 1.39% on the week. The gains came after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak succumbed to the demands of hundreds of thousands of his compatriots Friday and resigned from office, bringing to an end three decades of autocratic rule. The announcement was delivered by Vice President Omar Suleiman in a brief statement on state television. Mubarak delegated control of the country’s affairs to Egypt’s army, Suleiman said. “The market is excited about the fact that we’re getting closer to a resolution,” said Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial. “It just kind of lowers the blood pressure of the market a little bit.” Still, investors noted that not all the uncertainty over the situation in Egypt has been removed. “It’s still not clear who’s going to be in power, what the regime’s going to look like,” Don Montanaro, chairman and CEO of TradeKing. He said investors are still awaiting clarity on some of those questions. Nevertheless, Montanaro said, investors using his company’s trading platform “are bullish and are more bullish than they’ve been for many quarters.” He said more new accounts being opened, more funds are being put into those accounts, and “we’re just seeing enthusiasm gradually and steadily picking up.” Financials led Friday’s ascent as stocks in mortgage insurers surged on a government proposal to shrink the size of the Federal Housing Administration, a government-run competitor to the private mortgage insurance industry. Genworth Financial Inc. (GNW 13.59, +0.57, +4.38%) jumped 4.4%, MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG 10.05, +0.00, +0.03%) surged 9.6% and PMI Group Inc. (PMI 3.34, +0.09, +2.77%) climbed 2.8%. Among other stocks in focus, Nokia Corp.’s (NOK 9.38, +0.02, +0.21%) U.S. shares tumbled 14% after the handset maker said it will adopt Windows Phone as its main smartphone platform, as part of a broad strategic partnership with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT 27.27, +0.02, +0.07%). Nokia offered no projections for next year or new products, and said 2011 and 2012 are likely to be transition years. Microsoft slipped 0.9%. Shares of Ford Motor Co. (F 16.34, -0.04, -0.24%) rose 2.7% after the auto maker said it will cut its debt load by another $3 billion. In economic data, the U.S. trade gap widened in December, with the full-year trade gap registering its biggest percentage increase in 10 years on the back of a record shortfall in trade with China. Separately, the Reuters/University of Michigan consumer-sentiment reading for February edged up to 75.1, slightly better than the 75 expected by economists.
