Post No. 882 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.

A read of the print editions of Monday's (2/21) Barron's the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of Wall St. Journal & Financial Times, & Sat's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution 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 12,391.25 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. For the year the Dow is up 6.83%. 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.

WSJ pB5 "Three's a charm for blue chips" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks climbed to multiyear highs, extending their winning streak to a 3rd straight week, as the market's upward momentum helped outweigh another round of tightening in China's & unrest in the Mideast. Dow's top performers included Caterpillar up 2.4%, Travelers up $1.14 and Chevron up $1.55 after a US judge delayed a decision on whether to grant an injunction prohibiting the enforcement of an $8.6 bil judgment against it over environmental damage in Ecuador.

Fin Times p14 "Progress drags on utilities amid wider oil led gains" by Michael Stothard says shares in Progress Energy lost ground after it reported weak 4Q results, but the wider market edged up to fresh 2 and 1/2 year highs led by oil stocks.

Sat NYT pB7 "Forecast beating profits sustain a market rally" by Bloomberg says stocks advanced Fri, giving the S&P 500 its 3rd straight weekly rally, as higher than estimated corp earnings overshadowed the Chinese central bank's attempts to control inflation.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. The trailing P/E is 15.18 up from Friday's 14.97 (year ago it was 16.26); the P/E estimate is 12.87 up from Friday's 12.81 (year ago it was 12.85), and the dividend yield is 2.34 down from Friday's 2.37 (last year it was 2.62). 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.
