Post No. 988 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, and a ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of April 24, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of April 24, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,595.37 up 115.49 or 0.93% from Monday's close of 12,505.59. Of the 30 Dow components 24 gained and 6 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $111.94 +3.09 2.84% 6,655,640 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Coke KO $66.93 -0.81 1.2% 16,339,257 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $12.23 -0.21 1.69% 146,170,676 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, 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 14.67 down from Monday's trailing P/E of 14.70 (year ago it was 17.18); the P/E estimate is 12.68 up from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.65 (year ago it was 14.10), and the dividend yield is 2.36 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.35 (last year it was 2.45). 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,664.22 up 15.27 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,648.95. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.47 up 0.50 from Monday's average closing price of $54.97. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.11 (AXP/JPM) up 0.26 from Monday's median closing price of $45.85. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $87.86 +1.32 1.53% 5,611,109 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.23 -0.21 1.69% 146,170,676 NYSE.

If Tuesday 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 $1,527 ($166,422 - $165,236).

MarketWatch Tuesday 4/26/1 5:04 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied Tuesday, lifting the three benchmark indexes to 2011 highs, as investors embraced results from Ford Motor Co., United Parcel Service Inc., 3M Co. and others. “Revenues and earnings for nonfinancial companies have reached record levels, helped by international exposure for many S&P 500 reporting companies,” said Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos. Rebounding from Monday’s losses, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 115.49 points, or 0.9%, to 12,595.37 — its highest end since June 5, 2008. Gold and the dollar have moved in opposite directions this year. But over a longer period, the dollar has accounted for only a quarter of gold's moves, says Mark Hulbert, who notes gold's record run may have more to do with global currencies losing value. Blue-chip gains were led by Caterpillar Inc. and Intel Corp. Among the 24 stocks gaining on the Dow, 3M shares rose 1.9% after the conglomerate raised its 2011 earnings forecast, even as it took a hit from Japan’s ongoing crisis. Dow component International Business Machines Corp. said it would raise its quarterly dividend 15%. Shares of the technology bellwether edged up 0.5%. Bank of America Corp. and Coca-Cola Co. shares led decliners. Coca-Cola shares slid 1.2% after the beverage maker reported a rise in quarterly profit that missed analysts’ expectations. Away from the Dow, shipper UPS also raised its earnings estimate for 2011 and reported quarterly results that beat expectations. Shares gained 0.9%. Ford’s shares rose 0.8% after the auto maker reported its best first quarter in more than a decade. The S&P 500 Index added 11.99 points, or 0.9%, to 1,347.24, with industrials leading an advance that included all 10 of the index’s industry groups. It was the highest close for the index since June 17, 2008. “We finally reached the Promised Land of 1,344. It seemed like we were wandering for 40 years, but it was only a little more than eight weeks,” noted Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 21.66 points, or 0.8%, to 2,847.54, its highest close since October 31, 2007. The Federal Reserve is likely to begin closing a wide-open credit spigot this week-but faces a major decision: when to start draining the excess credit out of the economy by raising interest rates. For every stock falling, nearly three gained on the New York Stock exchange, where 909 million shares traded hands. As equities surged, commodities snapped a four-session advance, with oil slipping 0.1% to $112.21 a barrel and gold dropping more than $5 to $1,503.50 an ounce. Stocks retained the bulk of their gains after a monthly survey showed consumer confidence rising more than expected in April as worries about inflation and employment eased. “A still-improving labor market seems to be offsetting the rise in gasoline and food prices for now in terms of consumer psyche, as the confidence level is the second best since early ’08,” wrote Miller Tabak equity strategist Peter Boockvar. Before the opening bell, another survey had U.S. home prices falling for an eighth straight month. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee will conclude its two-day meeting on monetary policy, with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke presiding over the first-ever news conference following the policy statement, slated for 2:15 p.m. Eastern. “Whatever thunder the FOMC meeting usually has is being stolen this week by the first of Bernanke’s press conferences,” said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman. Still, “investors are unlikely to learn from Bernanke when the Fed will tighten, as it is doubtful that he himself knows,” he added.

The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Georgia - 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,505.59 up 52.45 or 0.42% from Thursday's close of 12,505.59 (the market was closed Fri.).

The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $55.12 -0.79 1.41% 4,766,187 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Tech alone can't push Dow higher" by Donna Yesalavich says stocks slipped as investors grew concerned about rising input costs, although strong reports in the tech sector limited the drop. Intel was charted under Good News as it led the Dow and DuPont is charted under Bad News as it dragged down the Dow.

Fin Times p20 "Kimberly Clark loses ground as raw materials costs hit earnings" by Michael Stothard says Wall St receded slightly from the strong gains last week after poor ernings from Advanced Micro Devices, Kimberly Clark and Johnson Controls.

NYT pB6 "Shares fall on fear of rising commodity prices" by Reuters says stocks fell Mon in the lightest volume session of the year after a lower outlook from Kimberly Clark heightened concern that higher commodity costs would squeeze profits in the future. About 5.34 bi shares traded on the NYSE, Amex and Nasdaq, below the dialy average of 7.74 bil.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Volume fades to lowest of year; stocks mixed" by Paul Witfield says stocks posted mixed results Mon in the slowest daily volume so far this year. The current outlook is confirmed uptrend.

USA Today pB6 "S&P 3 session winning streak ends" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Mon breaking a 3 session winning streak for the S&P as lower commodity prices drove energy down and raw material producers as well and Kimberly Clark cut its profit forecast.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,648.95 down 3.41 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,652.36. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.97 down 0.11 from Thursday's average closing price of $55.08.

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 lost $341 ($165,236 - $164,895).

MarketWatch Monday 4/25/1 4:17 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks broke a three-session winning streak Monday as some lingering worries over rising commodity costs and increasing fiscal debt gave investors an excuse to take profits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 26.11 points, or 0.2%, to 12,479.88 points, its first down day in four, after closing at a nearly 3-year high on Thursday ahead of the Good Friday holiday. The S&P 500 lost 2.13 points, or 0.2%, to 1,335.25, led by falling resource stocks. Among companies reporting earnings, Kimberly-Clark Corp. shares fell 2.7% after the maker of diapers trimmed its profit outlook, citing material costs. The Nasdaq Composite edged up 5.72 points, or 0.2%, to 2,825.88.
