Post No. 930 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 Friday at 11,858.52 up 83.93 points or 0.71% from Thursday's close of 11,774.49. For the week the Dow is down 185.88 points or 1.54% from last Friday's close of 12,044.4. Of the 30 Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Catepillar CAT $105.027 +1.907 1.85% 10,473,797 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $45.53 +0.97 2.18% 66,943,479 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Travelers TRV $58.12 -0.56 0.95% 4,678,309 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 14.31 up from Thursday's 14.11 (year ago it was 16.81); the P/E estimate is 12.42 unchanged from Thursday's 12.42 (year ago it was 13.56), and the dividend yield is 2.48 up from Thursday's 2.51 (last year it was 2.53). 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 1,566.86 up 11.09 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,555.77. 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 $52.23 up $0.37 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $51.86. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.84 (JPM/AXP) up 0.87 from Thursday's median closing price of $43.97. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $58.12 -0.56 0.95% 4,678,309 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.01 +0.03 0.21% 172,896,664 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 $1,109 ($156,686 - $154,577).

MarketWatch Friday 3/18/11 4:14 by Laura Mandaro says US stocks ended higher Friday, softening weekly losses, with sentiment lifted by a coordinated effort by several central banks to help Japan deal with the earthquake aftermath and plans by several major banks to hike dividends. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,859, +83.93, +0.71%) ended up 83.93 points, or 0.7%, at 11,858.52, scaling back from the day's highs as investors monitored fast-changing events in Japan and the Libyan conflict. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM 45.74, -.00, -0.01%) and Caterpillar Inc. (CAT 105.06, +1.94, +1.88%) led gains. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,279, +5.49, +0.43%) rose 5.49 points, or 0.4%, to 1,279.21. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,644, +7.62, +0.29%) gained 7.62, or 0.3%, to 2,643.67. The Dow fell 1.5% for the week, the S&P 500 lost 1.9%, and the Nasdaq sank 2.7%.

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.
