Post No. 902 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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12258.2 up 191.4 points or 0.07% from Wednesday's close of 12,066.8. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage wise was CAT $104.25 +3.28 3.25% 7,400,354 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was HPQ $43.2 -0.04 0.09% 21,062,861 NYSE but AT&T was also down 4 cents.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.65 up from Wednesday's 14.65 (year ago it was 16.21); the P/E estimate is 12.67 unchanged from Wednesday's 12.67 (year ago it was 13.21), and the dividend yield is 2.41 unchanged from Wednesday's 2.41 (last year it was 2.61). 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 1,619.67 up 25.29 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,594.38. 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 $53.99 up $0.84 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $53.15. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.16 (JPM/AXP) up 0.93 from Wednesday's median closing price of $44.23. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $92.81 +1.49 1.63% 3,050,274 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $14.27 +0.44 3.18% 138,087,359 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 $2,590 ($161,967).

MarketWatch Thursday 3/3/11 4:27 by Brendan Conway Gibson says U.S. stocks
charged higher, with blue-chip stocks up by the most in three months, as a strong reading on employment and a drop in the price of oil helped investors breathe a sigh of relief.

The Dow climbed 191.40 points, or 1.6%, to finish at 12258.20, its biggest gain since Dec. 1. Leading the blue chips were more than 3% gains in Caterpillar, Bank of America and Boeing. Industrial and financial companies led the Standard & Poor's 500 index up 22.53 points, or 1.7%, to close at 1330.97, as that measure also posted its best session since the beginning of December. The Nasdaq Composite added 50.67 points, or 1.8%, to 2798.74.

Stocks gained for the fourth time in five days after Wall Street received good news ahead of Friday's closely watched payrolls report. The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of workers filing new unemployment claims unexpectedly fell to the lowest level since May 2008, raising hopes for a sustained improvement in U.S. employment.

"The U.S. labor market is picking up decisively, and it isn't just coming from claims," Jim O'Sullivan, chief economist at MF Global, said. "It's likely just a matter of time before the pickup becomes more apparent in the payrolls data."

A retreat in oil prices beneath $102 also assuaged nervous investors. Crude futures headed lower with reports that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi had accepted a plan to mediate the conflict with rebel groups, though it was unclear how feasible the plan was. The market seemed more confident that developments in the Middle East and North Africa wouldn't crunch oil supplies, Joseph Greco, managing director at Meridian Equity Partners, said. "It gave people more ammo to get into equities," he said.

Stocks also got a bump after the euro slid following European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet's comment that the central bank could raise interest rates next month for the first time since the worst of the financial crisis in 2008.

"The saying is, 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king,'" said Robert Phipps, a portfolio manager at Per Stirling Capital Management in Austin, Texas. The U.S. has served as the preferable "one-eyed man" among investors' options around the globe, he said, and stocks' gains Thursday reflected the view that the U.S. market could keep attracting investors.

Tensions in the Middle East and North Africa continued to simmer despite investors' more sanguine view on Libya. In that violence-wracked country, a heavy military presence could be seen outside the important oil city of Zawiya on Thursday, where the government kept hold of the country's second-largest refinery. Earlier, Libyan war planes struck the rebel-held oil port in the eastern town of Marsa el-Brega, as pro-Gadhafi forces fought rebels for control of another strategic oil installation.

Among stocks in focus, Amylin Pharmaceuticals tumbled more than 25% and Alkermes fell 11% after an investigational drug to treat Type 2 diabetes failed to meet primary endpoints in a 26-week study. Eli Lilly, a third co-developer, gained 0.3%.

February retail sales showed strength, and high-end department stores continued to perform well. Shares in Saks gained 3.8%, and Nordstrom added 0.9% as sales topped Wall Street's expectations.

Among other retailers, Zumiez said late Wednesday that its February same-store sales jumped 12.8%, comfortably outpacing the 4.2% consensus forecast and helping its shares rise 5.5%. Hot Topic posted a smaller-than-expected drop, and its shares rose 5.5%.

US Airways Group shares rose 4.9% after the company said traffic rose 4.5% in February from a year earlier amid an "exceptionally strong" demand environment.

News Corp. rose 1.9% after the U.K. government gave it the green light to buy the 61% of British Sky Broadcasting Group it doesn't already own, on the condition that it spins off the satellite broadcaster's news channel. News Corp. is the owner of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones.

Budget retailer Big Lots reported fourth-quarter earnings of $1.46 a share, up from $1.27 a share in the year-earlier period and ahead of the $1.38 Wall Street forecast. Its shares added 3.6%.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution and 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 12,066.8 up 8.78 points or 0.07% from Tuesday's close of 12,058.02. For the year the Dow is up 4.23%. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage wise was Caterpillar CAT $100.97 +1.11 1.11% 5,410,751 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $69.57 -0.55 0.78% 7,049,198 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $45.21 -0.39 0.86% 28,570,255 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Dow ekes out gain; oil rises over $100" by Jonathan Cheng says US stocks finished a touch higher after the previous session's sharp selloff even as crude oil settled above $100 a barrel and gold rose to a new record. Energy and tech stocks led advancers. Caterpillar led the Dow up $1.11 while 3M rose 86 cents. Apple rose after CEO Steve Jobs appeared at a San Fran event to introduce a new iPad table that will be carried by Verizon Communications & AT&T.

Fin Times p24 "Yahoo lifted by sale speulation surrounding Japanese web protal" by Michael Stothard says shares in Yahoo rose following unconfirmed reports that the internet search firm was in talks to sell or trade its stake in Yahoo Japan, while the broad mrket rebounded from mid-session losses to close modestly firmer.

NYT pB3 "Strong jobs report pushes shares higher" by AP says stocks edged higher on Wed after a strong report on hiring by private firms raised hopes that the job market might be improving.

USA Today p4B "Job market gains couner surge in oil" by Bloomberg says US stocks rose Wed, rebounding from Tues's tumble, as signs of a strengthening job market bolstered optimism the economy can withstand a surge in oil prices.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,594.38 up 1.16 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,593.22. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.15 up $0.04 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $53.11. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.23 down (JPM/HPQ) down 0.15 from Tuesday's median closing price of $45.38. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $91.32 +0.86 0.95% 2,809,498 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.83 -0.10 0.72% 115,239,609 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 made $116 ($159,438 - $159,322).

MarketWatch Wednesday 3/2/11 4:49 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose Wednesday as data signaling strength in the job market helped foster thinking that the economy can handle rising prices that had oil topping $102 a barrel. Gadhafi forces and rebels are fighting for control of Libya’s fields. FFear is what is driving the price of oil, but what took us from $100 to $102 today is more of a supply issue,” Todd Colvin, vice president at MF Global, said of inventory data released during the session. Gyrating between gains and losses, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,067, +8.78, +0.07%) ended up 8.78 points at 12,066.80 , with 14 of its 30 components on the rise, led by Caterpillar at (CAT 100.95, -0.02, -0.02%) The Dow is up 4.23% so far this year. Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN 36.07, -0.07, -0.19%) , Xilinx (XLNX 34.54, +1.84, +5.63%) and other chip manufacturers rose after JPMorgan Chase & Co. raised its ratings on the semiconductor sector, citing signs of increased demand.Read more on rally in chip stocks. Apple Inc. (AAPL 352.64, +0.52, +0.15%) shares also gained after CEO Steve Jobs made an unexpected appearance to unveil his company’s new iPad. Jobs has been on medical leave since late January, and his return to a public setting helped assuage worries about his health. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index (SPX 1,308, +2.11, +0.16%) gained 2.11 points to 1,308.44, with energy leading the gains among its 10 industry groups. Financials fell the most. The index has risen in three of the last four sessions. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,748, +10.66, +0.39%) closed up 10.66 points at 2748.07. Advancers outpaced decliners 19 to 11 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume hit 1.02 billion shares. On Wednesday, the U.S. government on Wednesday reported demand for petroleum climbed from last year, with both oil and gasoline supplies falling unexpectedly last week.
And, worries that unrest in the Middle East and North Africa would disrupt supply pushed the price of oil higher, with futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange finishing at $102.23 a barrel, after hiting an intraday high of $102.50. In its anecdotal accounting from its 12 regional banks, the Federal Reserve noted improvement in the labor market during the past two months, with increased retail sales and growth in manufacturing. Ahead of Wednesday’s opening bell, a private report illustrating the addition of 217,000 positions to corporate payrolls in February added to hopes for Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report.
