Post No. 928 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 components' SEC filings as of February 14, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 11,774.49 up 161.29 points or 1.39% from Wednesday's close of 11,613.3. Of the 30 Dow 25 gained, Walmart was unchanged and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $103.1346 +2.7346 2.72% 8,948,431 NYSE
and percenage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $41.45 +1.31 3.26% 24,640,417 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Kraft KFT $30.75 -0.10 0.32% 11,449,338 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. The trailing P/E is 14.11 down from Wednesday's 14.41 (year ago it was 16.73); the P/E estimate is 12.42 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.42 (year ago it was 13.56), and the dividend yield is 2.51 up from Wednesday's 2.43 (last year it was 2.54). 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 1,555.77 up 20.31 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,534.46. 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 $51.86 up $0.71 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $51.15. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.97 (JPM/AXP) up 0.87 from Wedneesday's median closing price of $43.10. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.77 +1.22 1.39% 3,210,114 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.97 +0.28 2.05% 120,402,149 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 $2,031 ($144,577 - $153,446).

MarketWatch Thursday 3/17/11 4:13 by Laura Mandaro says US stocks made a broad rebound Thursday, quitting a three-day losing streak, as investors turned their attention from Japan's efforts to quell a nuclear crisis to an optimistic outlook issued by FedEx Corp. (FDX 87.89, +2.61, +3.06%) and U.S. regional manufacturing data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,775, +161.29, +1.39%) ended up 161.29 points, or 1.4%, at 11,774.59, with all but four of 30 components posting gains. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,274, +16.84, +1.34%) added 16.84 points, or 1.3%, to 1,273.72, led by a 3.1% gain in energy stocks. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,636, +19.23, +0.74%) gained 19.23 points, or 0.7%, to 2,636.05. For the year, the Nasdaq is still lower.

****************
The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog:

A read 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 11,613.3 down 242.12 points or 2.04% from Tuesday's close of 11,855.42. For the year the Dow is up 0.31%. Of the 30 Dow none gained and all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM $152.93 -6.09 3.83% 11,483,380 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "DJIA takes another triple digit hit" by Jonathan Cheng says the Dow Jones fell 242.12 points in a nail biting session marked by heavy volumes. The Dow's drop was its largest in 7 months, pushing the index briefly into negative territory for the year.

NYT pB1 "Headlines from Mideast & Japan spook investors" by Graham Bowley says there was no respite for weary investors Wed as deepening worries about nuclear crisis in Japan prompted another sharp sell-off, leaving stocks in negative territory for the year.

Fin Times p24 "Tech & industrial sectors bear brunt of overseas tensions" by Michael Stothard says concern over the escalating nuclear crisis in Japan & heightened tensions in Bahrain led Wall St lower for its 3rd straight session,, with tech & industrial stocks suffering the sharpest losses. IBM and Apple fell due to supply worries after the earthquake and analyst downgrades on both stocks. GE was down 3.4% and 3M was 2.2% lower.

USA Today p1B "Crisis in Japan drives US stocks into the red" by Adam Shell says investors fleeing risk in the face of Japan's nuclear crisis sold stocks aggressively Wed causing the US market to dip into the red for '11 and suffer its first pullback of 5% since Aug.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,534.46 down 31.01 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,566.45. 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 decrease for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease 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 $51.15 down $1.07 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $52.22. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.10 (JPM/AXP) down 0.86 from Tuesday's median closing price of $44.24. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $58.07 -0.45 0.77% 5,656,107 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.71 -0.25 1.79% 158,645,093 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 lost $3,101 ($156,660 - $153,446).

MarketWatch Wednesday 3/16/11 4:14 by Laura Mandaro says US stocks ended a volatile day with steep losses Wednesday, as rising worries about radiation leaks from nuclear reactors damaged in last week's Japanese earthquake prompted a broad selloff. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,613, -242.12, -2.04%) fell 242.12 points, or 2%, at 11,613.30. It had turned lower for the year during the day but finished 0.3% higher than its Dec. 31 close. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,257, -24.99, -1.95%) fell 24.99 points, or 2%, at 1,256.88 points, down 0.1% for the year. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,617, -50.51, -1.89%) fell 50.51 points, or 1.9%, to 2,616.82, down 1.4% for the year so far.
