Post No. 872 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, 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.

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.

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.
