Post No. 879 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 Thursday at 12,318.14 up 29.97 points or 0.24% from Wednesday's close of 12,288.17. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 19 gained, Walt Disney was unchanged and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Coca-Cola KO $64.55 +1.15 1.81% 9,152,895 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $45.78 -1.08 2.3% 10,599,891 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.97 down from Wednesday's 14.97 (year ago it was 16.19); the P/E estimate is 12.81 unchanged from Wedneday's 12.81 (year ago it was 12.85), and the dividend yield is 2.37 up from Wednesday's 2.37 (last year it was 2.65). 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 1,627.59 up 3.96 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,623.63. 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 $54.26 up $0.14 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $54.12. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.22 (HPQ/JPM) down 0.25 from Wednesday's median closing price of $48.47. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.78 +0.32 0.54% 3,013,336 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.81 0.03 0.2% 102,000,051 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 $396 ($162,759)

MarketWatch Thursday 2/17/11 4:16 by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed moderately higher Thursday as a rally in resource and energy stocks, supported by earnings and corporate restructurings, helped the market overcome earlier weakness. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,318, +29.97, +0.24%) closed up 29.97 points, or 0.2%, at 12,318.14, led by a 1.8% rally in Coca-Cola Co. (KO 64.40, -0.15, -0.23%) shares. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,340, +4.11, +0.31%) rose 4.11 points, or 0.3%, to 1,340.43, with chip-maker Nvidia Corp. (NVDA 25.60, -0.08, -0.31%) , natural-gas firm Williams Cos. (WMB 30.08, +2.32, +8.36%) and iron-ore miner Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF 100.92, +1.40, +1.41%) shares leading advancers. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,832, +6.02, +0.21%) ended up 6.02 points, or 0.2%, to 2,831.58.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog:

A read of the print editions of Thursday's 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,288.17 up 61.53 points or 0.5% from Tuesday's close of 12,226.64. For the year the Dow is up 6.51%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $47.94 +1.12 2.39% 44,067,911 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart WMT $54.55 +0.40 0.73% 15,361,965 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Rally doubles the pleasure of S&P 500" by Jonathan Cheng says the S&P 500 rose 8.31 points to close at double its postcrisis low of 666.79 which it hit in March '09. The Dow is up 88% from its March 9, 2009 low. Wednesday's strength came from the materials and energy sectors, with JPMorgan and Hewlett Packard the biggest Dow gainers.

NYT pB11 "Shares rise on strong earnings reports" by AP says strong earnings results and another round of corporate deals pushed stocks higher on Wed.

Fin Times p26 "S&P 500 reinvigorated by tech strength & flurry of deal activity" by Micahel Stothard says US stocks bounced to 30 month highs after strong earnings from Dell and a spate of del activity in the retail & pharma sector.

USA Today p4B "Earnings, deal news give markets a lift" by Chip Cutter says stronge arnings results and another round of corp deals pushed stocks higher on Wed: Family Dollar is being bought by Peltz & Genzyme by Sanof-Aventis.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,623.63 up 8.13 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,615.50. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.12 up $0.27 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $53.85. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.47 (HPQ/JPM) up 1.06 from Tuesday's median closing price of $47.41. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $85.06 +0.13 0.15% 2,970,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.84 .07 0.47% 131,720,160 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 made $813 ($162,363 - $161,550)

MarketWatch Wednesday 2/16/11 4:19 by Jonathan Cheng says investors pushed the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index to more than double from its financial-crisis low Wednesday after an encouraging package of corporate earnings and merger news. The S&P 500 mounted a broad-based rally to finish at 1336.32, up 8.31 points, or 0.63%, to more than two times its intraday low of 666.79 on March 6, 2009. The S&P 500 doubled at its quickest pace since 1936, when it took just 501 days to rocket up to 16.15, from 8.06, according to Birinyi Associates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 61.53 points, or 0.50%, to 12288.17, up 89.9% from its March 6, 2009 intraday low. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 21.21, or 0.76%, to 2825.56. The gains came despite a midday pullback after Israel's foreign minister warned that two Iranian warships crossing the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea were "provocations" that Israel couldn't ignore. With stock prices having doubled off the lows, the market capitalization of the S&P 500 is now about $12 trillion, compared with the $6.9 trillion during the selloff in early 2009. The S&P 500's market capitalization, which reflects shifts in membership and share counts, needs to rise only another 11% to set an all-time high, according to Standard & Poor's. "In less than two years, the S&P 500 has doubled, which is great for those people that were prudent enough to stay in, but they've got to be cautious about overconfidence--we know that corrections happen quite regularly," said Erik Davidson, managing director of investments at Wells Fargo Private Bank, who pointed to low readings on the CBOE Market Volatility Index known as the "fear gauge," as well as signs of higher-than-average bullishness among individual investors.
"When you're up 100% and you've got this irrational exuberance, the only thing we have to fear is the lack of fear--that's when you've got to be afraid, as with tech or housing or Japanese stocks before," Davidson said. "People are disappointed that they've missed out on the 100% rally, and people are jumping back in because things have gotten 'back to normal.' That's when you've got to start feeling afraid." Investors also were watching minutes from the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee, which showed officials more optimistic about the U.S. economic outlook, raising their growth outlook for 2011. Officials also expected inflation to stay muted and unemployment to remain high, which suggests the central bank will likely follow through with its quantitative-easing effort to support the economy. Wednesday's strength came from the materials and energy sectors, while J.P. Morgan Chase and Hewlett-Packard were the biggest gainers among the Dow components. J.P. Morgan gained $1.12, or 2.4%, to finish at $47.95 a share, while H-P added 1.00, or 2.1%, to close at 48.99. Providing the market with a boost was U.S. home construction, which rose 15% in January to the highest level since September. Producer prices also showed muted gains, which could temper inflation concerns. However, market watchers noted out that the housing gains were boosted by multifamily homes, a volatile slice of the housing market, while producer-price inflation was much higher than expected. On the corporate front, Genzyme gained 80 cents, or 1.1%, to 75.10 after agreeing to the terms of a long-awaited takeover by French pharmaceutical group Sanofi-Aventis. Sanofi will pay $20.1 billion along with a series of milestone payments based on the performance of certain drugs. Genzyme separately reported stronger earnings, sales and margins in the fourth quarter. Sanofi gained 3.5% in Paris. Discount retailer Family Dollar Stores surged 9.29, or 21%, to 53.25 after the company said it received an unsolicited takeover bid from Trian Group valued at between $55 and $60 a share. In earnings news, Dell jumped 1.65, or 12%, to 15.56 after the computer maker reported a surge in profits, thanks to strong demand from corporate customers and lower component costs. Deere gained 2.24, or 2.4%, to 95.86 after fiscal first-quarter earnings more than doubled, helped by agricultural-equipment sales in the U.S. and Canada. Abercrombie & Fitch surged 4.05, or 7.6%, to 57.46 after fiscal fourth-quarter profits jumped 95%, topping expectations, as the teen retailer reported higher international and direct-to-consumer revenue. Sales began to recover in 2010 from poor year-earlier results, partly driven by international sales. Comcast gained 97 cents, or 4%, to 25.13 after beating consensus estimates on profits and revenue, while also increasing its annual dividend and speeding up its share buyback plan. The Philadelphia cable company reported a 6.6% increase in fourth-quarter earnings after recently completing its deal to acquire a majority stake in NBC Universal. Borders Group was suspended from trading after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announcing it would close about 30% of it stores nationwide in coming weeks. Borders shares have fallen 75% this year, and last traded at 23 cents. The dollar edged lower, while oil rose to add 0.8% after the Iranian news. Gold edged higher, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged up to 3.625%.
