Post No. 978 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 March 21, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,453.54 up 186.79 or 1.523% from Tuesday's close of 12,266.75. Of the 30 Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies UTX $85.9 +3.54 4.3% 7,682,304 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $21.41 +1.55 7.8% 174,239,689 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $164.75 -0.65 0.39% 10,875,944 NYSE
and percentage-wise was Pfizer PFE $20.39 -0.14 0.68% 64,770,043 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, 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 14.84 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E of 14.71 (year ago it was 17.13); the P/E estimate is 12.65 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.65 (year ago it was 14.00), and the dividend yield is 2.40 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.41 (last year it was 2.46). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,645.48 up 14.68 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,620.80. 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 $54.85 up 0.82 from Tuesnday's average closing price of $54.03. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.78 (AXP/JPM) up 0.13 from Tuesday's median closing price of $45.65. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.13 +0.95 1.63% 3,265,965 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.27 -0.07 0.57% 179,693,926 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 $2,468 ($164,548 - $162,080).

MarketWatch Wednesday 4/20/1 5:31 pm by Kristina Peterson says U.S. stocks rallied Wednesday, as strong earnings from the technology sector and a bigger-than-expected rise in existing-home sales sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a nearly three-year high Wednesday. The Dow rose 186.79 points, or 1.52%, to 12453.54, its highest closing level since June 5, 2008. According to the chip maker, the company's strong earnings numbers stem from discrepancies in how PC sales are tallied, namely in emerging markets. Intel Corp. shares led the Dow with a 7.8% jump after the chip maker posted first-quarter earnings and revenue above analysts’ expectations, along with a second-quarter revenue outlook that topped Wall Street estimates. United Technologies Corp. rose 4.3%, also supporting the Dow, as the maker of elevators and airplane engines posted first-quarter earnings above Wall Street expectations on strong revenue growth and margin expansion. Earnings from Dow-component International Business Machines IBM +0.46% also exceeded expectations, but the technology giant’s shares slipped 0.4% as the company didn’t lift its full-year forecast by as much as some investors had hoped, and services signings disappointed. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 57.54, or 2.10%, to 2,802.51, its biggest one-day percentage gain since Oct. 5. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index added 17.74, or 1.35%, to 1,330.36. The technology sector led the advance, as the stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue growth from Intel and IBM boosted sentiment for the quarterly results to come from others in the sector. Shares of Apple, which released its first-quarter numbers after Wednesday’s close, climbed 1.4%. Read more on Apple. U.S. economic data also provided a lift after the National Association of Realtors said existing-home sales increased 3.7% in March from February. Economists had expected a smaller increase. The U.S. dollar sank against both the yen and the euro . The U.S. Dollar Index , which tracks the currency against a basket of others, fell 0.7%. Wednesday’s climb in U.S. stocks followed gains in European and Asian markets. It also helped the Dow, Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 erase their declines from Monday, when Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services cut its outlook on U.S. government debt.

MarketWatch Tuesday 4/19/1 5:19 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks closed moderately higher Tuesday after better-than-forecast earnings from Dow component Johnson & Johnson and ahead of reports from blue-chip technology giants International Business Machines Corp. and Intel Corp.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 65.16 points, or 0.5%, to 12,266.75, with 20 of its 30 components notching gains. It was a partial recovery from the prior session, during which the average lost 140 points after Standard & Poor’s lowered its outlook on long-term U.S. sovereign credit. Johnson & Johnson shares led Dow gainers with a 3.7% rise, advancing after the health-care company’s results topped analysts’ expectations with first-quarter sales and adjusted profit; J&J’s management also raised its 2011 earnings forecast. That outlook and anticipation of results from tech bellwethers due after the close of regular trading helped Wall Street recover some lost ground. “This is an earnings-driven market at this point, and some of the commentary out of the companies isn’t as bad as we expected, and forecasts going forward are reasonable,” said Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital. “IBM and Intel for the tech sector will give us some clarity tonight,” said Forrest of the results expected after the close. IBM is a “superbellwether,” in that its businesses include hardware, software and related services, she added. Results issued over the past week have been patchy. Late Monday, chip manufacturer Texas Instruments Inc. / warned of slower-than-usual quarterly sales growth. “Japan continues to be an issue for companies like Texas Instruments that sell a lot of their products there,” according to Forrest. But Japan’s economy impacts other sectors, “like automotive and other export-oriented goods. People may have anticipated Japan Inc. to have shut down, and it really hasn’t, and that is giving people some hope for the second half,” she said. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 9.59 points, or 0.4%, to 2,744.97. Johnson & Johnson's first-quarter earnings declined 23% from a year-earlier period that was boosted by a litigation gain, while a series of product recalls continued to hamper sales growth. The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.57% rose 7.48 points, or 0.6%, to 1,312.62, with materials up the most. Telecommunications was the only sector among 10 to drop. Buoying materials stocks, steel makers U.S. Steel Corp. and AK Steel Holding Corp. AKS -0.50% gained more than 4% each after Steel Dynamics Inc. reported a surge in profit, thanks in part to rising prices for the metal. Read more on Steel Dynamics, rally in steel stocks. Zions Bancorp shares climbed 3.9% after the regional bank reported a profitable first quarter compared with a year-ago loss. Harley Davidson Inc. shares fell 5.3% after the motorcycle maker missed analysts’ estimates in reporting a near-tripling of quarterly income. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. also reported earnings that surpassed estimates, with the investment bank tallying a 21% decline in first-quarter profit, a drop less than analysts had expected. Read more on Goldman’s drop in quarterly earnings after payment of preferred dividends. Advancers outpaced decliners by almost 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where 848 million shares traded hands, or 90% of the past month’s volume. Oil prices turned higher, with crude futures for May delivery rising $1.03 to end at $108.15 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Nearly two years into the economic recovery, the Commerce Department reported builders broke new ground on a seasonally adjusted 549,000 units in March, with the highest count in six months for housing starts topping expectations. PulteGroup Inc. shares gained 5.1%, making the home builder’s stock the second-best performer on the S&P 500.Noting that stock-index futures added to their gains after the government’s housing report, which came an hour ahead of Wall Street’s start, one analyst found reason to be wary in the data. “House prices are in the process of double-dipping and banks are on the cusp of another round of mortgage write-downs, and the last thing we need are brand-new homes,” wrote Peter Boockvar, managing director at Miller Tabak, in an emailed note. Wall Street on Monday came under steep selling pressure after a credit-rating warning on U.S. debt followed a move by China to hike its bank-reserve requirements and increased concern about European debt. Making the morning rounds on the major business networks Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner dismissed the notion that the nation’s triple-A credit rating might be in jeopardy, saying both political parties agree on the need for reform to bring down long-term debt.
