Post No. 863 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, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report - Ga. (carriers 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 Monday at 12,161.63 up 69.48 points or 0.57% from Friday's close of 12,092.15. For the year the Dow is up 5.05%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 21 gained and 9 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Bank of America BAC $14.67 +0.38 2.66% 147,002,978 NYSE and percentage-wise was United Technologies UTX $83.66 +1.14 1.38% 3,501,000 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Pfizer PFE $19.04 -0.26 1.35% 40,635,335 NYSE and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $73.45 -0.60 0.81% 11,604,246 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Financials, earnings lift industrials 69.48" by Kristina Peterson says finl's led US stocks to multiyear highs as the market got a lift from a stream of deals, corp earnings & some relief that a degree of economic activity resumed in Egypt. Bank of America gained 38 cents, American Express climbed 1 & JPMorgan rose 91 cents.

Fin Times p24 "Oil services grops strike gains on Ensco deal for Pride Int'l" by Michael Stothard says US equities rose to fresh 30 monthhighs as a string of deal announcements lifted sentiment and sparked hopes tht more merger activity would follow.

NY Times pB8 "Takeover plans send markets higher" by AP & USA Today p4B "Earnings, deals keep stocks rising" by David Randall say sev say several big acquisitions & a strong earnings report from Loews pushde stocks higher on Mon. Pride Int'l will buy Ensco for $7.3 bil and Backman Coulter will be bought by Danaher Corp for $5.8 bil.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, 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 15.14 up from Monday's 15.06 (year ago it was 16.09); the P/E estimate is 12.64 unchanged from Monday's 12.64 (year ago it was 12.67), and the dividend yield is 2.37 down from Monday's 2.38 (last year it was 2.75). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,606.91 up 9.18 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,597.73. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.56 up $0.30 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $53.26. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.82(HPQ/JPM) up 0.81 from Friday's median closing price of $46.01. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.79 +0.50 0.57% 2,616,662 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.67 +0.38 2.66% 147,002,978 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $918 ($160,691 - $159,773).

MarketWatch Monday 2/7/11 4:24 by Kristina Peterson says Financials led U.S. stocks to fresh multi-year highs on Monday as the market got a lift from a stream of deals, corporate earnings and some relief that a degree of economic activity resumed in Egypt. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 69.48 points, or 0.57%, to 12161.63, its highest close since June 16, 2008. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 14.69, or 0.53%, to 2783.99, its highest finish since Nov. 6, 2007. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 8.18, or 0.62%, to 1319.05, buoyed by its financial sector. It was the S&P 500's highest close since June 25, 2008. Boosting financials, Loews gained 4.5% after the conglomerate's fourth-quarter profit rose, as its CNA Financial insurance unit's earnings surged and it reinstated its quarterly dividend. Fellow insurer American International Group gained 5.5%. Among Dow financial components, Bank of America gained 2.7%, while American Express climbed 2.3% and J.P. Morgan Chase rose 2%. "To see CNA Financial doing much better and reinstating their dividend builds on this sense that the financials are making their way through a tumultuous period and, much like Egypt, making their way into a period of a little more normalcy," said Tom Villalta, lead portfolio manager at the Jones/Villalta Opportunity Fund. Credit-card issuers also rose after a Monday afternoon reading of credit-card usage tracked by the Federal Reserve showed a surprise rise in December, as Americans increased credit use for the first time since 2008. Visa rose 1.4%, while MasterCard added 1.1%. Meanwhile, anxiety over the turmoil in Egypt eased slightly after opposition parties met with the government over the weekend and banks opened for the first time in more than a week. A burst of deal activity also lifted the market. "Deals are a really important underpinning to this market," said Randy Bateman, chief investment officer of Huntington Funds. In addition to acquisitions, companies flush with cash are instituting "a lot of stock buybacks and dividend statements," he said. "Those are strong things we really haven't seen in the past few years." Biomedical-testing company Beckman Coulter jumped 10% after diversified manufacturing and technology company Danaher said it would pay $5.87 billion for Beckman, or $83.50 a share. Danaher rose 2.2%. Pride International surged nearly 16% after U.K.-based Ensco said it would buy the company in a cash-and-stock deal that values Pride International at a premium of 21% over its closing price Friday. U.S.-listed shares of Ensco, which said the deal will make it the second-largest offshore driller in the world, fell 4.2%. Chesapeake Energy rose 4% after the firm said it would sell its Fayetteville shale assets and equity stakes in Frac Tech Holdings and Chaparral Energy for about $5 billion. Berkshire Hathaway said it plans to buy the rest of the remaining 19.9% of Wesco Financial shares it doesn't already own, sending Berkshire class B shares up 1.1%. Wesco Financial gained 1.8%. AOL slid 3.4% after the Internet company disclosed plans to acquire privately held online news website Huffington Post for $315 million. Among companies reporting earnings, managed-care company Humana dropped 3% after its fourth-quarter earnings fell amid increased expenses, including acquisition-related costs, and rising medical-claims costs. For the year, the company raised its per-share earnings and forecast revenue above analysts' estimates, but forecast earnings for the current quarter slightly below Street projections. Sysco, a large food-service distributor in the U.S., tumbled 6.2% after its earnings fell short of analysts' forecasts, as the company continues to face higher food, fuel and overhead costs. American Apparel rose 4.5% after appointing former Old Navy Chief Financial Officer John J. Luttrell to serve as the apparel maker and retailer's chief financial officer. The U.S. dollar weakened slightly against the euro, but strengthened against the yen. Demand for Treasurys declined, lifting the yield on the 10-year note to 3.65%. Crude-oil prices fell 1.7% to settle below $88 a barrel, while gold futures also settled lower.
