Post No. 859 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 2/7/11 Barron's, Saturday/Sunday's combined issue of each of the Wall St. Journal and Financial Times, and Sat's issues of 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 12,092.15 up 29.89 points or 0.25% from Thursday's close of 12,062.26. For the week the Dow was up 2.3%. For the year the Dow is up 4.45%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $63.61 +0.71 1.13% 9,822,100 NYSE and percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $31.19 +0.45 1.46% 6,593,504 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $44.59 -0.87 1.91% 37,835,910 NYSE.

WSJ pB5 "Small rise caps a big week" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks rose slightly to cap the market's biggest weekly increase in 2 months as strong earnings boosted the tech sector while traders largely chalked up a disappointing Jan jobs report to stormy weather. Friday's advance was led by a 1.5% rise in Kraft and a rise of 1.1% in Procter & Gamble. JPMorgan limited the advance falling 7 cents a day after new details were reported about a lawsuit claiming the it ignored or dismissed warning signs about Madoff, even as it earnings hundreds of mil of dollars from its relationship with him. GE shed 19 cents and Bank of America fell 14 cents.

NYT p14 "Equities end in the black with techs leading the way" by Michael Stothard says Wall St edged higher led by tech stocks as investors shrugged off weak Jan unemployment data.

Sat NYT pB6 "S&P continues to climb as earnings top estimates" by Bloomberg says stocks rose on Fri, reversing losses & sending the S&P 500 to the highest level since June '08, after the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped more firms beat earnings estimates.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturay's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. The trailing P/E is 15.06 up from Friday's 14.67 (year ago it was 16.26); the P/E estimate is 12.64 up from Friday's 12.63 (year ago it was 12.67), and the dividend yield is 2.38 down from Friday's 2.39 (last year it was 2.72). 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 1,597.73 up 3.95 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,593.78. 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 $53.26 up $0.13 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $53.13. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.01(HPQ/JPM) down 0.38 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.39. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.29 +0.34 0.39% 1,971,082 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America Bank of America BAC $14.29 -0.14 0.97% 136,111,276 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 $395 ($159,773 - $159,378).

MarketWatch Friday 2/4/11 4:48 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed higher Friday, giving an extra lift to weekly gains, as investors focused on strong corporate results and the upshot of a largely disappointing monthly jobs report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,092, +29.51, +0.25%) closed up 29.89 points, or 0.3%, to 12,092.15. A 1.5% rise in the shares of Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT 31.19, +0.45, +1.46%) led gains for 20 of its 30 components. The Dow has now closed higher for the past five straight trading days, and is trading near its highest levels since mid-2008. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,311, +3.77, +0.29%) ended up 3.77 points, or 0.3%, at 1,310.87, with technology companies faring the best and utilities the worst among its 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,769, +15.42, +0.56%) rose 15.42 points, or 0.6%, to 2,769.3. The major indexes spent much of the day notching small gains or losses after the U.S. government reported the economy created only 36,000 jobs in January, missing forecasts of a 140,000 gain. While disconcerting, the “inclement weather played some role in suppressing the overall payroll count,” said Bart van Ark, chief economist at the Conference Board. The U.S. government also said the jobless rate dipped to 9% in January, its lowest level since April 2009. Read more on jobs report. Analysts said the much-anticipated jobs report also bolsters the case for the Federal Reserve to keep markets flush with liquidity, which has been a boon for stocks for the past two years. ”The market is holding up on a weaker jobs report because it points to continued quantitative easing,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, referring to the central bank’s policy of increasing money supply to support the recovery. The indexes rebounded for the week, which was colored by shifting sentiment about whether Egyptian protests would lead to more instability in the region, as well as U.S. data showing strength in manufacturing. The Dow ended the week up 2.3%, the S&P 500 gained 2.7% and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 3.1%. For the session, big gainers included JDSU (JDSU 22.85, +0.09, +0.41%) , whose shares jumped 27% after the maker of optical-networking gear swung to a profit, beating Wall Street’s expectations. The stock was the best performer on the S&P 500. Aetna Inc. (AET 37.21, -0.21, -0.56%) shares rose 12% after the health insurer forecast fiscal 2011 profits that topped Wall Street’s expectations. Other movers included Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN 18.56, +1.00, +5.69%) Its shares rallied 5.7% after the meat producer reported an 86% jump in profit, helped by higher prices. Read more on Tyson. Of the 308 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported fourth-quarter results, 72% have topped analysts’ expectations, according to Thomson Reuters. “We’re seeing a sixth consecutive quarter of strong earnings and revenue reports,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors. Decliners just edged past advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume topped 920 million shares.
