Post No. 1,044 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 May 23, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 24, 2011.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,659.79 up 128.21 or 1.03% from Friday's close of 12,441.58. Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and 1, McDonald's, declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $104.91 +1.70 1.65% 7,228,081 NYSE and percentage-wise was Pfizer PFE $21.45 +0.52 2.48% 51,789,944 NYSE. The only and biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.54 -0.08 0.1% 6,670,965 NYSE.
As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E is 14.15 up from Friday's trailing P/E of 14.11 (year ago it was 14.7492); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.54 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.62), and today's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.73). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,672.73 up 28.83 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,643.90. 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 $55.76 up 0.96 from Friday's average closing price of $54.80. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.42 (AXP/JPM) up 0.46 from Friday's median closing price of $46.96. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $94. 38 +0.91 0.97% 2,770,167 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.75 +0.06 0.51% 101,214,011 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 $2,883 ($167,273 - $164,390).
MarketWatch Tuesday 5/31/11 4:10 pm by Claudia Assis says US stocks on Tuesday extended their winning streak to a fourth consecutive session on optimism Greece may get additional aid, although a disappointing reading on consumer confidence and other weeak economic data hampered the run. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 128.21 points, or 1%, to 12,569.79. The Nasdaq Composite added 38.44, or 1.4%, to 2,835.30.

5/31/11 Tues am AT&T's Critics on Deal Growing
www.DowJonesMonitor.com
The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report. Any comments by third-parties do not reflect the views of Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. and have not been reviewed by us for completeness or accuracy.
Post No. 1,043 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 May 23, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 24, 2011.
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 (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 Friday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,441.58 up 38.82 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 12,402.76. For the week the Dow was down 70.46 points or 0.56% from last Friday's close of 12,512.04. For the year the Dow is up 7.46%. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $66.77 +1.26 1.92% 16,386,011 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.62 -0.81 0.98% 5,443,289 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.21 -0.29 1.29% 67,162,126 NASDAQ-GS.
As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E is 14.15 up from Friday's trailing P/E of 14.11 (year ago it was 14.7492); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.54 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.62), and today's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.73). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,643.90 up 5.13 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,638.77. 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 $54.80 up 0.17 from Thursday's average closing price of $54.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.96 (AXP/JPM) up 0.40 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.56. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.47 +0.65 0.7% 1,987,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 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 $513 ($164,390 - $163,877).
MarketWatch Saturday 5/28/11 10:41 a.m by Wallace Witkowski says US stock in the next week will run a gauntlet of data expected to indicate a slowing economic recovery, but a few positive reports may prove enough to draw investors into a market accustomed to negative sentiment.

Post No. 1,043 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 May 23, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 24, 2011.
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 (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 Friday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,441.58 up 38.82 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 12,402.76. For the week the Dow was down 70.46 points or 0.56% from last Friday's close of 12,512.04. For the year the Dow is up 7.46%. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $66.77 +1.26 1.92% 16,386,011 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.62 -0.81 0.98% 5,443,289 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.21 -0.29 1.29% 67,162,126 NASDAQ-GS.
As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E is 14.15 up from Friday's trailing P/E of 14.11 (year ago it was 14.7492); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.54 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.62), and today's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.73). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,643.90 up 5.13 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,638.77. 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 $54.80 up 0.17 from Thursday's average closing price of $54.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.96 (AXP/JPM) up 0.40 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.56. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.47 +0.65 0.7% 1,987,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 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 $513 ($164,390 - $163,877).
MarketWatch Saturday 5/28/11 10:41 a.m by Wallace Witkowski says US stock in the next week will run a gauntlet of data expected to indicate a slowing economic recovery, but a few positive reports may prove enough to draw investors into a market accustomed to negative sentiment.

The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.62 -0.81 0.98% 5,443,289 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.21 -0.29 1.29% 67,162,126 NASDAQ-GS.
As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E is 14.15 up from Thursday's trailing P/E of 14.11 (year ago it was 14.7492); Friday's P/E estimate is 12.54 down from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.62), and Friday's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.73). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,643.90 up 5.13 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,638.77. 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 $54.80 up 0.17 from Thursday's average closing price of $54.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.96 (AXP/JPM) up 0.40 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.56. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.47 +0.65 0.7% 1,987,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 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 $513 ($164,390 - $163,877).
MarketWatch Saturday 5/28/11 10:41 a.m by Wallace Witkowski says US stock in the next week will run a gauntlet of data expected to indicate a slowing economic recovery, but a few positive reports may prove enough to draw investors into a market accustomed to negative sentiment. Equity markets managed to pare losses by the end of the week, following a raft of mostly negative economic data including higher jobless claims, weaker-than-expected first-quarter economic growth, and a slump in pending home sales. One bright spot in economic data on Friday came from an increase in consumer sentiment for May. Trading volume may be light in the first week of June but investors should still eye upcoming economic data. Against that backdrop, any positive news should be well received, said Sam Turner, senior portfolio manager of large cap stocks at RiverFront Investment Group. ”The fact the market has held in light of weak data is in itself a positive indication,” said Turner. Turner says the S&P 500 could even hit 1,400 in July -- implying the index could rebound from current levels of 1,331 -- as materials, energy and tech sectors lead the advance. But it may be tough to hold those levels, assuming it gets there. “We expect a moderate pullback in the face of negative news,” he said.
Small gains on both Thursday and Friday leading into Monday’s Memorial Day holiday weekend helped the major indexes trim weekly losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% for the week to close at 12,441.58, and the S&P 500 Index declined 0.2% to finish at 1,331.10, logging the fourth straight week of losses for both exchanges. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.2% for the week to close at 2,796.86, its second weekly loss in a row. India's January-March gross domestic product figures will be in the spotlight, as well as key reports on Chinese manufacturing and Japanese industrial output and employment data for April.
There will be a new round of economic releases for investors to chew over next week, as well as monthly car sales from General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. , Toyota Motor Corp. and others. And while the bulk of large companies have reported earnings, closely watched tech companies, including Intel Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Netflix Inc. and Google Inc. , could produce market-moving news at conferences next week. The focus could remain on the economy, however. Investors will start the market week with the release of the Chicago purchasing managers index and the Conference Board’s consumer confidence data for May. Wednesday brings the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing activity report for May. Weekly jobless claims data will be released on Thursday. Then, on Friday, the ISM will release its services sector activity report for May, and the Labor Department will release nonfarm payrolls data for May. Investors will watch closely next week data on euro-zone inflation as well as German unemployment and retail sales. The manufacturing and PMI data next week may be filler until nonfarm payroll numbers come out on Friday, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. McDonald's hiring spree, more than 60,000 new workers, should show upas a big influence when the government releases its payrolls report on Friday. The time of easy comparisons has ended for Corporate America. Here's a graphical look at profits, durables, new-home sales and other top indicators. “A lot of factors are going to play into that report — tornadoes, flooding, supply problems from Japan — all of that can factor, just like earlier in the month when winter storms were blamed for bad jobs data,” Pavlik said. “It’s a gray area for the economy and could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy so the question becomes: Do we have enough strength in the engine to get us through short-term shocks to the system?” Economists expect fewer nonfarm payrolls added in May compared with the 244,000 added in April, and a decline in the Chicago PMI. Pavlik said he is looking for the S&P 500 to close above 1,343 for a few sessions, without reverting lower, as an indication that equity markets are breaking free from the sluggishness of the past month. Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service, said he has a positive seasonal and end-of-the month bias going into next week and believes Chicago PMI data and consumer confidence data will be the key numbers and drivers.“Consumer confidence has more impact on consumer spending and is more of an indicator of economic growth,” Towers said. “Jobs data has disappointed, growth forecasts are being cut, so when does the pendulum swing the other way?” Economists expect consumer confidence to rise slightly for May compared with 65.4% in April. Miles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist at RBC Capital, said ISM non-manufacturing data on Friday will provide a more accurate indication of whether the economy is slowing down. “The sense is the regional indicators suggest risk of downside disappointment,” Zyblock said. “Services posted a shocking drop last month and a reading below 50 is problematic for the outlook.” Zyblock said the services number will serve as a better indicator than manufacturing because it has been less disrupted by such factors as supply interruptions from Japan. Services data is expected to improve slightly from the index’s April reading of 52.8%. On Wednesday, car makers will release of May U.S. vehicle sales data with an expected net decline of about a million vehicles from 13.2 million in the year-ago period, owing mostly to Japan’s supply problems. While car makers like Toyota Motor and Honda Motor Co. are likely to post a significant drop in May sales, their U.S. counterparts GM and Ford are expected to report flat sales for the month. Trade shows scheduled for next week will put tech stocks in focus. At Taiwan’s Computex trade show, several new tablet computers and mobile phones are expected to debut containing chips from Intel that compete with chips used in Apple Inc. At the Wall Street Journal’s All Things D trade show in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Microsoft Corp. will reportedly unveil a tablet device that runs the Windows 8 operating system. Other presenting companies include Netflix, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. , Adobe Systems Inc. Walt Disney Co. and AT&T Inc. With earnings season drawing to a close, only two S&P 500 companies will release results in the coming week. Joy Global Inc. and SAIC Inc. both report on Thursday. To date, 490 companies in the S&P 500 have reported quarterly results, with 73% of those reporting earnings above the Wall Street consensus and 68% reporting revenue above the consensus, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet Research. While the first quarter was regarded as a strong season for earnings, the trend may not continue with 59 companies in the S&P 500 issuing a negative earnings outlook for the second quarter, compared with 33 companies issuing a positive outlook, Butters said in a report.

Post No. 1,042 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 May 23, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 24, 2011.
A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Sat & Sun. combined Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investors' Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,441.58 up 38.82 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 12,402.76. For the week the Dow is down 70.46 points or 0.56% from last Friday's close of 12,512.04. For the year the Dow is up 7.46%. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $66.77 +1.26 1.92% 16,386,011 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.62 -0.81 0.98% 5,443,289 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.21 -0.29 1.29% 67,162,126 NASDAQ-GS.
As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E is 14.15 up from Thursday's trailing P/E of 14.11 (year ago it was 14.7492); Friday's P/E estimate is 12.54 down from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.62), and Friday's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.73). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,643.90 up 5.13 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,638.77. 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 $54.80 up 0.17 from Thursday's average closing price of $54.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.96 (AXP/JPM) up 0.40 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.56. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.47 +0.65 0.7% 1,987,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 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 $513 ($164,390 - $163,877).
MarketWatch Saturday 5/28/11 10:41 a.m by Wallace Witkowski says US stock in the next week will run a gauntlet of data expected to indicate a slowing economic recovery, but a few positive reports may prove enough to draw investors into a market accustomed to negative sentiment. Equity markets managed to pare losses by the end of the week, following a raft of mostly negative economic data including higher jobless claims, weaker-than-expected first-quarter economic growth, and a slump in pending home sales. One bright spot in economic data on Friday came from an increase in consumer sentiment for May. Trading volume may be light in the first week of June but investors should still eye upcoming economic data. Against that backdrop, any positive news should be well received, said Sam Turner, senior portfolio manager of large cap stocks at RiverFront Investment Group. ”The fact the market has held in light of weak data is in itself a positive indication,” said Turner. Turner says the S&P 500 could even hit 1,400 in July -- implying the index could rebound from current levels of 1,331 -- as materials, energy and tech sectors lead the advance. But it may be tough to hold those levels, assuming it gets there. “We expect a moderate pullback in the face of negative news,” he said.
Small gains on both Thursday and Friday leading into Monday’s Memorial Day holiday weekend helped the major indexes trim weekly losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% for the week to close at 12,441.58, and the S&P 500 Index declined 0.2% to finish at 1,331.10, logging the fourth straight week of losses for both exchanges. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.2% for the week to close at 2,796.86, its second weekly loss in a row. India's January-March gross domestic product figures will be in the spotlight, as well as key reports on Chinese manufacturing and Japanese industrial output and employment data for April.
There will be a new round of economic releases for investors to chew over next week, as well as monthly car sales from General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. , Toyota Motor Corp. and others. And while the bulk of large companies have reported earnings, closely watched tech companies, including Intel Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Netflix Inc. and Google Inc. , could produce market-moving news at conferences next week. The focus could remain on the economy, however. Investors will start the market week with the release of the Chicago purchasing managers index and the Conference Board’s consumer confidence data for May. Wednesday brings the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing activity report for May. Weekly jobless claims data will be released on Thursday. Then, on Friday, the ISM will release its services sector activity report for May, and the Labor Department will release nonfarm payrolls data for May. Investors will watch closely next week data on euro-zone inflation as well as German unemployment and retail sales. The manufacturing and PMI data next week may be filler until nonfarm payroll numbers come out on Friday, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. McDonald's hiring spree, more than 60,000 new workers, should show upas a big influence when the government releases its payrolls report on Friday. The time of easy comparisons has ended for Corporate America. Here's a graphical look at profits, durables, new-home sales and other top indicators. “A lot of factors are going to play into that report — tornadoes, flooding, supply problems from Japan — all of that can factor, just like earlier in the month when winter storms were blamed for bad jobs data,” Pavlik said. “It’s a gray area for the economy and could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy so the question becomes: Do we have enough strength in the engine to get us through short-term shocks to the system?” Economists expect fewer nonfarm payrolls added in May compared with the 244,000 added in April, and a decline in the Chicago PMI. Pavlik said he is looking for the S&P 500 to close above 1,343 for a few sessions, without reverting lower, as an indication that equity markets are breaking free from the sluggishness of the past month. Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service, said he has a positive seasonal and end-of-the month bias going into next week and believes Chicago PMI data and consumer confidence data will be the key numbers and drivers.“Consumer confidence has more impact on consumer spending and is more of an indicator of economic growth,” Towers said. “Jobs data has disappointed, growth forecasts are being cut, so when does the pendulum swing the other way?” Economists expect consumer confidence to rise slightly for May compared with 65.4% in April. Miles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist at RBC Capital, said ISM non-manufacturing data on Friday will provide a more accurate indication of whether the economy is slowing down. “The sense is the regional indicators suggest risk of downside disappointment,” Zyblock said. “Services posted a shocking drop last month and a reading below 50 is problematic for the outlook.” Zyblock said the services number will serve as a better indicator than manufacturing because it has been less disrupted by such factors as supply interruptions from Japan. Services data is expected to improve slightly from the index’s April reading of 52.8%. On Wednesday, car makers will release of May U.S. vehicle sales data with an expected net decline of about a million vehicles from 13.2 million in the year-ago period, owing mostly to Japan’s supply problems. While car makers like Toyota Motor and Honda Motor Co. are likely to post a significant drop in May sales, their U.S. counterparts GM and Ford are expected to report flat sales for the month. Trade shows scheduled for next week will put tech stocks in focus. At Taiwan’s Computex trade show, several new tablet computers and mobile phones are expected to debut containing chips from Intel that compete with chips used in Apple Inc. At the Wall Street Journal’s All Things D trade show in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Microsoft Corp. will reportedly unveil a tablet device that runs the Windows 8 operating system. Other presenting companies include Netflix, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. , Adobe Systems Inc. Walt Disney Co. and AT&T Inc. With earnings season drawing to a close, only two S&P 500 companies will release results in the coming week. Joy Global Inc. and SAIC Inc. both report on Thursday. To date, 490 companies in the S&P 500 have reported quarterly results, with 73% of those reporting earnings above the Wall Street consensus and 68% reporting revenue above the consensus, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet Research. While the first quarter was regarded as a strong season for earnings, the trend may not continue with 59 companies in the S&P 500 issuing a negative earnings outlook for the second quarter, compared with 33 companies issuing a positive outlook, Butters said in a report.

The following is not intended as advertising by a broker-dealer and is not a research report. Any comments by third-parties do not reflect the views of Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. and have not been reviewed by us for completeness or accuracy.
Post No. 1,041 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 May 23, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 24, 2011.
A read of the print editions of ________'s Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investors' Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,441.58 up 38.82 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 12,402.76. For the week the Dow is down 70.46 points or 0.56% from last Friday's close of 12,512.04. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $66.77 +1.26 1.92% 16,386,011 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.62 -0.81 0.98% 5,443,289 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.21 -0.29 1.29% 67,162,126 NASDAQ-GS.
Due to your Blogger traveling, this is an abbreviated post.
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. Thursday's trailing P/E is 14.11 up from Thursday's trailing P/E of 14.10 (year ago it was 14.92); today's P/E estimate is 12.62 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.45), and today's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.76). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,643.90 up 5.13 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,638.77. 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 $54.80 up 0.17 from Thursday's average closing price of $54.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.96 (AXP/JPM) up 0.40 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.56. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.47 +0.65 0.7% 1,987,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 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 $513 ($164,390 - $163,877).
MarketWatch Saturday 5/28/11 10:41 a.m by Wallace Witkowski says US stock in the next week will run a gauntlet of data expected to indicate a slowing economic recovery, but a few positive reports may prove enough to draw investors into a market accustomed to negative sentiment. Equity markets managed to pare losses by the end of the week, following a raft of mostly negative economic data including higher jobless claims, weaker-than-expected first-quarter economic growth, and a slump in pending home sales. One bright spot in economic data on Friday came from an increase in consumer sentiment for May. Trading volume may be light in the first week of June but investors should still eye upcoming economic data. Against that backdrop, any positive news should be well received, said Sam Turner, senior portfolio manager of large cap stocks at RiverFront Investment Group. ”The fact the market has held in light of weak data is in itself a positive indication,” said Turner. Turner says the S&P 500 could even hit 1,400 in July -- implying the index could rebound from current levels of 1,331 -- as materials, energy and tech sectors lead the advance. But it may be tough to hold those levels, assuming it gets there. “We expect a moderate pullback in the face of negative news,” he said.
Small gains on both Thursday and Friday leading into Monday’s Memorial Day holiday weekend helped the major indexes trim weekly losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% for the week to close at 12,441.58, and the S&P 500 Index declined 0.2% to finish at 1,331.10, logging the fourth straight week of losses for both exchanges. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.2% for the week to close at 2,796.86, its second weekly loss in a row. India's January-March gross domestic product figures will be in the spotlight, as well as key reports on Chinese manufacturing and Japanese industrial output and employment data for April.
There will be a new round of economic releases for investors to chew over next week, as well as monthly car sales from General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. , Toyota Motor Corp. and others. And while the bulk of large companies have reported earnings, closely watched tech companies, including Intel Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Netflix Inc. and Google Inc. , could produce market-moving news at conferences next week. The focus could remain on the economy, however. Investors will start the market week with the release of the Chicago purchasing managers index and the Conference Board’s consumer confidence data for May. Wednesday brings the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing activity report for May. Weekly jobless claims data will be released on Thursday. Then, on Friday, the ISM will release its services sector activity report for May, and the Labor Department will release nonfarm payrolls data for May. Investors will watch closely next week data on euro-zone inflation as well as German unemployment and retail sales. The manufacturing and PMI data next week may be filler until nonfarm payroll numbers come out on Friday, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. McDonald's hiring spree, more than 60,000 new workers, should show upas a big influence when the government releases its payrolls report on Friday. The time of easy comparisons has ended for Corporate America. Here's a graphical look at profits, durables, new-home sales and other top indicators.
/conga/kiosk/economy-politics. “A lot of factors are going to play into that report — tornadoes, flooding, supply problems from Japan — all of that can factor, just like earlier in the month when winter storms were blamed for bad jobs data,” Pavlik said. “It’s a gray area for the economy and could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy so the question becomes: Do we have enough strength in the engine to get us through short-term shocks to the system?” Economists expect fewer nonfarm payrolls added in May compared with the 244,000 added in April, and a decline in the Chicago PMI. Pavlik said he is looking for the S&P 500 to close above 1,343 for a few sessions, without reverting lower, as an indication that equity markets are breaking free from the sluggishness of the past month.
Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service, said he has a positive seasonal and end-of-the month bias going into next week and believes Chicago PMI data and consumer confidence data will be the key numbers and drivers.“Consumer confidence has more impact on consumer spending and is more of an indicator of economic growth,” Towers said. “Jobs data has disappointed, growth forecasts are being cut, so when does the pendulum swing the other way?” Economists expect consumer confidence to rise slightly for May compared with 65.4% in April. Miles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist at RBC Capital, said ISM non-manufacturing data on Friday will provide a more accurate indication of whether the economy is slowing down. “The sense is the regional indicators suggest risk of downside disappointment,” Zyblock said. “Services posted a shocking drop last month and a reading below 50 is problematic for the outlook.” Zyblock said the services number will serve as a better indicator than manufacturing because it has been less disrupted by such factors as supply interruptions from Japan. Services data is expected to improve slightly from the index’s April reading of 52.8%.
On Wednesday, car makers will release of May U.S. vehicle sales data with an expected net decline of about a million vehicles from 13.2 million in the year-ago period, owing mostly to Japan’s supply problems. While car makers like Toyota Motor and Honda Motor Co. are likely to post a significant drop in May sales, their U.S. counterparts GM and Ford are expected to report flat sales for the month. Trade shows scheduled for next week will put tech stocks in focus. At Taiwan’s Computex trade show, several new tablet computers and mobile phones are expected to debut containing chips from Intel that compete with chips used in Apple Inc. At the Wall Street Journal’s All Things D trade show in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Microsoft Corp. will reportedly unveil a tablet device that runs the Windows 8 operating system. Other presenting companies include Netflix, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. , Adobe Systems Inc. Walt Disney Co. and AT&T Inc.
With earnings season drawing to a close, only two S&P 500 companies will release results in the coming week. Joy Global Inc. and SAIC Inc. both report on Thursday. To date, 490 companies in the S&P 500 have reported quarterly results, with 73% of those reporting earnings above the Wall Street consensus and 68% reporting revenue above the consensus, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet Research. While the first quarter was regarded as a strong season for earnings, the trend may not continue with 59 companies in the S&P 500 issuing a negative earnings outlook for the second quarter, compared with 33 companies issuing a positive outlook, Butters said in a report.

Post No. 1,041 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 May 23, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 24, 2011.
A read of the print editions of ________'s Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investors' Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,441.58 up 38.82 or 0.31% from Thursday's close of 12,402.76. For the week the Dow is down 70.46 points or 0.56% from last Friday's close of 12,512.04. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $66.77 +1.26 1.92% 16,386,011 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $81.62 -0.81 0.98% 5,443,289 NYSE and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.21 -0.29 1.29% 67,162,126 NASDAQ-GS.
Due to your Blogger traveling, this is an abbreviated post.
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. Thursday's trailing P/E is 14.11 up from Thursday's trailing P/E of 14.10 (year ago it was 14.92); today's P/E estimate is 12.62 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.62 (year ago it was 12.45), and today's dividend yield is 2.40 unchanged from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.76). The Dow's all-time high was 14,164.53 on Oct6 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 1,643.90 up 5.13 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,638.77. 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 $54.80 up 0.17 from Thursday's average closing price of $54.63. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.96 (AXP/JPM) up 0.40 from Thursday's median closing price of $46.56. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $93.47 +0.65 0.7% 1,987,187 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.69 +0.23 2.01% 107,370,390 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 $513 ($164,390 - $163,877).
MarketWatch Saturday 5/28/11 10:41 a.m by Wallace Witkowski says US stock in the next week will run a gauntlet of data expected to indicate a slowing economic recovery, but a few positive reports may prove enough to draw investors into a market accustomed to negative sentiment. Equity markets managed to pare losses by the end of the week, following a raft of mostly negative economic data including higher jobless claims, weaker-than-expected first-quarter economic growth, and a slump in pending home sales. One bright spot in economic data on Friday came from an increase in consumer sentiment for May. Trading volume may be light in the first week of June but investors should still eye upcoming economic data. Against that backdrop, any positive news should be well received, said Sam Turner, senior portfolio manager of large cap stocks at RiverFront Investment Group. ”The fact the market has held in light of weak data is in itself a positive indication,” said Turner. Turner says the S&P 500 could even hit 1,400 in July -- implying the index could rebound from current levels of 1,331 -- as materials, energy and tech sectors lead the advance. But it may be tough to hold those levels, assuming it gets there. “We expect a moderate pullback in the face of negative news,” he said.
Small gains on both Thursday and Friday leading into Monday’s Memorial Day holiday weekend helped the major indexes trim weekly losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6% for the week to close at 12,441.58, and the S&P 500 Index declined 0.2% to finish at 1,331.10, logging the fourth straight week of losses for both exchanges. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.2% for the week to close at 2,796.86, its second weekly loss in a row. India's January-March gross domestic product figures will be in the spotlight, as well as key reports on Chinese manufacturing and Japanese industrial output and employment data for April.
There will be a new round of economic releases for investors to chew over next week, as well as monthly car sales from General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. , Toyota Motor Corp. and others. And while the bulk of large companies have reported earnings, closely watched tech companies, including Intel Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Netflix Inc. and Google Inc. , could produce market-moving news at conferences next week. The focus could remain on the economy, however. Investors will start the market week with the release of the Chicago purchasing managers index and the Conference Board’s consumer confidence data for May. Wednesday brings the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing activity report for May. Weekly jobless claims data will be released on Thursday. Then, on Friday, the ISM will release its services sector activity report for May, and the Labor Department will release nonfarm payrolls data for May. Investors will watch closely next week data on euro-zone inflation as well as German unemployment and retail sales. The manufacturing and PMI data next week may be filler until nonfarm payroll numbers come out on Friday, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. McDonald's hiring spree, more than 60,000 new workers, should show upas a big influence when the government releases its payrolls report on Friday. The time of easy comparisons has ended for Corporate America. Here's a graphical look at profits, durables, new-home sales and other top indicators.
/conga/kiosk/economy-politics. “A lot of factors are going to play into that report — tornadoes, flooding, supply problems from Japan — all of that can factor, just like earlier in the month when winter storms were blamed for bad jobs data,” Pavlik said. “It’s a gray area for the economy and could turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy so the question becomes: Do we have enough strength in the engine to get us through short-term shocks to the system?” Economists expect fewer nonfarm payrolls added in May compared with the 244,000 added in April, and a decline in the Chicago PMI. Pavlik said he is looking for the S&P 500 to close above 1,343 for a few sessions, without reverting lower, as an indication that equity markets are breaking free from the sluggishness of the past month.
Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service, said he has a positive seasonal and end-of-the month bias going into next week and believes Chicago PMI data and consumer confidence data will be the key numbers and drivers.“Consumer confidence has more impact on consumer spending and is more of an indicator of economic growth,” Towers said. “Jobs data has disappointed, growth forecasts are being cut, so when does the pendulum swing the other way?” Economists expect consumer confidence to rise slightly for May compared with 65.4% in April. Miles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist at RBC Capital, said ISM non-manufacturing data on Friday will provide a more accurate indication of whether the economy is slowing down. “The sense is the regional indicators suggest risk of downside disappointment,” Zyblock said. “Services posted a shocking drop last month and a reading below 50 is problematic for the outlook.” Zyblock said the services number will serve as a better indicator than manufacturing because it has been less disrupted by such factors as supply interruptions from Japan. Services data is expected to improve slightly from the index’s April reading of 52.8%.
On Wednesday, car makers will release of May U.S. vehicle sales data with an expected net decline of about a million vehicles from 13.2 million in the year-ago period, owing mostly to Japan’s supply problems. While car makers like Toyota Motor and Honda Motor Co. are likely to post a significant drop in May sales, their U.S. counterparts GM and Ford are expected to report flat sales for the month. Trade shows scheduled for next week will put tech stocks in focus. At Taiwan’s Computex trade show, several new tablet computers and mobile phones are expected to debut containing chips from Intel that compete with chips used in Apple Inc. At the Wall Street Journal’s All Things D trade show in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Microsoft Corp. will reportedly unveil a tablet device that runs the Windows 8 operating system. Other presenting companies include Netflix, Google Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. , Adobe Systems Inc. Walt Disney Co. and AT&T Inc.
With earnings season drawing to a close, only two S&P 500 companies will release results in the coming week. Joy Global Inc. and SAIC Inc. both report on Thursday. To date, 490 companies in the S&P 500 have reported quarterly results, with 73% of those reporting earnings above the Wall Street consensus and 68% reporting revenue above the consensus, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet Research. While the first quarter was regarded as a strong season for earnings, the trend may not continue with 59 companies in the S&P 500 issuing a negative earnings outlook for the second quarter, compared with 33 companies issuing a positive outlook, Butters said in a report.
