Post No. 951 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 Monday at 12,400.03 up 23.31 points or 0.19% from Friday's close of 12,376.72. Of the 30 Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $60.15 +0.66 1.11% 9,392,837 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $40.34 -0.64 1.56% 21,830,716 NYSE.
As of the open of the market Monday, 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 15.04 up from Friday's trailing P/E of 14.97 (year ago it was 17.04); the P/E estimate is 12.75 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.63 (year ago it was 13.85), and the dividend yield is 2.36 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.37 (last year it was 2.50). 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.
Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,638.41 up 3.08 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,635.33. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.51 up 0.25 cents from Friday's average closing price of 54.51. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.88 (JPM/AXP) up 0.13 from Friday's median closing price of $45.75. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.64 +0.51 0.55% 1,951,772 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.44 +0.07 0.52% 70,684,820 NYSE.
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 made $308 ($163,841 - $163,533 ).
MarketWatch Monday 4/4/11 3:43 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Monday wavered between gains and losses with cheer over a large corporate deal dented by an industry report illustrating a drop in semiconductor sales.
The indecisive session had bulls and bears sidelined anticipating the next indicator of where the economy at large and corporate profits specifically might be headed. “Coming off of Friday’s employment report, we’re in a wait-and-see mode for a bit here as we wait for earnings or pre-earnings,” said Jay Suskind, senior vice president at Duncan-Williams. “Are we going to hear more companies talk about the cost of business going up in the third and fourth quarters?” Suskind said of investor uncertainty. Two of the three benchmark indexes turned lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 12,400, +23.31, +0.19%) maintaining near its current bull-market high after two consecutive weeks of gains. Small investors hurt by low ratesWhile low interest rates have meant big profits for banks, they are hurting small investors, including seniors who are seeing their cash earn minimal interest. The major indexes scaled back their gains after the Semiconductor Industry Association reported three-month average chip sales fell 1.1% in February from the prior month. Shares of Dow component and computer-chip giant Intel Corp. INTC 19.47, -0.02, -0.11%) fell 1.2%. Off the Dow, Nvidia Corp. (NVDA 18.00, +0.45, +2.56%) , which makes graphics chips, slid 3.7%. The Dow industrials (DJIA 12,400, +23.31, +0.19%) were lately up 18.13 points, or 0.2%, to 12,394.85. Twenty of the Dow’s 30 components gained, including Pfizer Inc. (PFE 20.50, -0.04, -0.21%) Shares of the world’s biggest drug maker rose 0.7% after the company said it would sell its Capsugel manufacturing unit to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR 17.14, +0.23, +1.36%) for $2.38 billion. At one point Friday, the blue-chip index hit 12,419.71 — its highest intraday level since June 6, 2008 — only to retreat below its 2011 closing high of 12,391.25, which was set Feb. 18. In Monday trade, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX 1,333, +0.46, +0.04%) declined a fraction to 1,332.05 with natural-resource companies up the most and technology the heaviest weight among its 10 industry groups. After a four-session advance, the Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,789, -0.41, -0.02%) fell 3.35 points, or 0.1%, to 2,786.25.
Crude-oil futures (CLK11 108.28, +0.34, +0.32%) closed at $108.47 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Advancers edged just past decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 530 million shares had traded by 3:30 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume topped 2.6 billion.
“Volume is so low, there’s no conviction,” said Suskind at Duncan-Williams. Shares of defense contractor General Dynamics Corp. (GD 73.37, -4.05, -5.23%) fell 5.4% after one of the company’s Gulfstream Aerospace jets crashed during a test flight on Saturday, killing four crew members.
Southwest Airlines Co.’s (LUV 12.46, -0.21, -1.66%) shares declined 2.1% with more than 60 flights canceled for safety inspections after one of the carrier’s jets made an emergency landing with a hole in its cabin on Friday.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog:
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,376.72 up 56.99 points or 0.46% from Thursday's close of 12,319.73. For the year the Dow is up 6.90%. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $113.12 +1.77 1.59% 6,055,360 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $19.72 -0.46 2.28% 82,141,734 NASDAQ-GS.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,635.33 up 7.53 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,627.80. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.51 up 0.25 cents from Thursday's average closing price of 54.26. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.75 (JPM/AXP) down 0.43 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.18. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.5 +1.03 1.11% 3,190,283 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.33 -0.12 0.89% 85,599,925 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 $753 ($163,533 - $162,780).
MarketWatch Friday 4/1/11 4:28 by Brendan Conway says the Dow Jones Industrial Average kicked off a new quarter by touching the highest level since the summer of 2008, as investors were heartened by signs of stronger job creation in the U.S. and the lowest unemployment rate in two years. The DJIA rose for the second straight week and finished Friday with an advance of 56.99 points, or 0.46%, at 12376.72, after hitting a high since June 6, 2008, during the session. The measure was led by Caterpillar, which gained 1.6%, and General Electric, which rose 1.5%. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index added 0.50% to 1332.41, led by industrial and financial stocks. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.31% to 2789.60. Those indexes also gained for the second straight week. A better-than-expected report on U.S. nonfarm payrolls, a reduction in the U.S. unemployment rate to 8.8% from 8.9%, and Institute for Supply Management data showing manufacturing in expansion mode put investors on the offensive on Friday. "The unemployment rate and payroll numbers were key barometers to assess the recovery," said Wasif Latif, vice president of equity investments at USAA Investment Management Co. "It's another key data point that confirms that the economic recovery is underway," he added. Federal Reserve policy got more attention Friday after Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser said the central bank may have to tighten soon, and aggressively, although New York Fed President William Dudley, one of the main advocates of easy monetary policy to support the economy, warned against premature tightening. "Fed policy is top of mind right now," said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab. "I have felt the Fed would need to, and ought to, normalize policy sooner than the market was expecting," she said, adding that "seeing some hints [of that] would be a good thing." In deal news, Nasdaq OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange offered to buy NYSE Euronext for about $11.3 billion, a widely anticipated move that offers a 19% premium to a previous bid by Deutsche Boerse. NYSE Euronext jumped 13%. Nasdaq OMX rose 9.3% and Deutsche Boerse shed 1.7%. Office Depot slid 9% after the company said it will restate its 2010 financial results after the Internal Revenue Service denied a tax claim, which the company said will reduce full-year tax benefits by about $80 million. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts fell 21% after the company swung to a fiscal fourth-quarter loss on a charge related to a credit refinancing and weaker margins. Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management bought an 8.6% stake in transportation and real-estate company Alexander & Baldwin for $148 million, according to a Thursday filing. Shares surged 19%. Logitech International plunged 19% after the digital device maker trimmed its fiscal-2011 sales and operating income targets, primarily due to weakness in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Wynn Resorts gained 4.6% and Las Vegas Sands advanced 3.4% after Chinese government data showed Macau's gambling revenue set a new monthly record in March. Both companies are seen as benefiting from the growth.
