Post No. 881 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 Friday at 12,391.25 up 73/11 points or 0.59% from Thursday's close of 12,318.14. For the week the Dow is up 118.99 points or 0.97% from last Friday's Dow close of 12,273.26. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $105.805 +2.445 2.37% 8,389,117 NYSE. The biggest decliners dollar-wise were American Express AXP $45.53 -0.25 0.55% 11,896,139 NYSE and Merck MRK $32.85 -0.25 0.76% 14,819,654 NYSE
and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $17.285 -0.235 1.34% 21,904,283 NYSE.
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 14.97 down from Thursday's 14.97 (year ago it was 16.19); the P/E estimate is 12.81 unchanged from Thursday's 12.81 (year ago it was 12.85), and the dividend yield is 2.37 up from Thursday'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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,637.38 up 9.79 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,627.59. 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 $54.58 up $0.32 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $54.26. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.31 (HPQ/JPM) up 0.09 from Thursday's median closing price of $48.22. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $92.96 +0.23 0.25% 3,402,790 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.765 -0.045 0.3% 91,842,702 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 $979 ($163,738 - $162,759)
MarketWatch Friday 2/18/11 4:22 by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks ended higher for a third-straight session and added about 1% for the week, as investors overlooked the risk of an oil shock in the Middle East to focus on better U.S. data and corporate earnings. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,391, +73.11, +0.59%) ended Friday's session up 73.11 points, or 0.6%, at 12,391.25 and advanced 1% for the week. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,343, +2.58, +0.19%) gained 2.58 points, or 0.2%, to 1,343.01 and rose 1.04% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,834, +2.37, +0.08%) added 2.37 points, or 0.1%, to 2,833.95. The Dow and S&P 500 closed at mid-2008 highs, while the Nasdaq is at an October 2007 high.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.
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) (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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: 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. For the year the Dow is up 6.71%. 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.
WSJ pC5 "Divergent data leave DJIA up 29.97 points" by Brendan Conway says stocks finished higher after a white hot reading from mid-Atlantic manufacturers outweighed worse than expected jobs figures & a rise in US consumer prices. Energy and materials stocks led the S&P higher, while Coca-Cola and DuPont were the top gainers in the Dow.
Fin Times p22 "Cliffs Natural's forecast beating profits lift iron & steel sector" by Michael Stothard says Cliffs Nat'l Resources jumped on strong quarterly earnings while the wider markets edged to now 30 month highs as blockbuster manufacturing data outweighed disappointing employment numbers. Gold prices spiked up.
NYT pB6 "Factory data offsets rise in jobless claims" by AP says stocks finished higher on Thurs after a strong manufacturing report overshadowed a bigger thane expected rise in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits. Coca-Cola gained 1.8% after it announced that it had increased its dividend.
USA Today p4B "Surge in manufacturing boosts stocks" by AP says stocks finished higher Thurs after a strong manufacturing report overshadowed a bigger than expected rise in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits.
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.
