Post No. 1,017 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.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of Wall Street Journal & Financial Times, & Saturday's New York Times Atlanta Journal Constitution 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 12,595.75 down 100.17 or 0.79 from Thursday's close of 12,695.92. For the year the Dow is up 8.80%. For the week the Dow was down 42.99 or 0.34% from last Friday's close of 12,638.74. Of the 30 Dow components 4 gained, Walmart was unchanged and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Kraft KFT $34.89 +0.14 0.4% 12,759,306 NYSE and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $80.74 +0.08 0.1% 5,212,494 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $169.92 -2.32 1.35% 5,168,995 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $11.93 -0.27 2.21% 159,070,447 NYSE.

WSJ pB5 "Stocks fall 2nd week in a row" by Donna Yesalavich says US stocks fell broadly as worries over Greece's finances ramped up ahead of the weekend. The market was down more sharply earlier in the day, with the Dow off 152.73 points at its intradday low. Investors turned their attention to the euro zone as they continued to mull the rospects for Greece's economy.

As of the close 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 was 14.37 (year ago it was 15.52); the P/E estimate was 12.74 (year ago it was 13.10), and the dividend yield is 2.35 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.35 (last year it was 2.59). 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.

Fin times p17 "Yahoo's escalating Alibaba disptue hurts tech sector" by Michael Stothard says the tech sector lost ground after an escalation in Yahoo's dispute with Alibaba & a number of badly received earnings reports, helping to lead the wider markets into negative territory for the final session of a volatile week. JPMorgan was down 2.1%. Microsoft's $8.5 bil acquisition of Skype was the big deal news of the week, and left shares in the tech group down 2.2% over the five days.

NYT pB6 "A tumble for shares in tech finance" by Bloomberg says stocks were mostly lower on Fri,erasing a weekly gain, as CA Inc. led tech shares lower after is earnings missed estimates. Bank stocks slid over concerns about Europe's debt crisis & closer gov scrutiny.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,664.27 down 13.23 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,677.50. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.48 down 0.44 from Thursday's average closing price of $55.92. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.32 (AXP/JPM) down from Thursday's median closing price. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $96.01 -0.64 0.66% 2,920,635 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.93 -0.27 2.21% 159,070,447 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 lost $1,320 ($167,760 -166,440).

MarketWatch Friday 5/13/11 4:47 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks finished lower Friday, pulling the Dow Jones Industrial Average into negative territory for the week, as investors fretted about the recovery and a week of upheaval in commodities.
“There’s a lot of question marks to the economic recovery at the same time the Fed is about to take [quantitative easing two] away, and just like with any drug addict, there’s a period of withdrawal,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.79% shed 100.17 points to close at 12,595.75, pulling the blue-chip index 0.3% lower for the week. Also lapsing into the red from last Friday’s close, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index SPX -0.81% declined 10.88 points to end at 1,337.77, with financial companies faring worst among the benchmark’s 10 industry groups. The index lost 0.2% for the week.
Retaining a modest 0.03% weekly gain, the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -1.21% fell 34.57 points to end at 2,828.47. “Now that earnings season is behind us, there is currently no good news to push stocks higher until we start to get the next quarter’s expectations, which should be very good,” said Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisors. For every stock that rose Friday, more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where more than 898 million shares had traded by the close of the trading session. The CBOE Volatility index VIX +6.49% gained 6.6% to close at 17.09. Yahoo shares slide after the company said Alibaba had secretly transferred ownership of an online-payment unit to a separate entity. Alibaba disputes the claim.The German newspaper Die Welt reported the European Commission, International Monetary Fund and Germany were backing a Greek debt extension while the European Central Bank and France were opposing it. “It makes sense, the Germans want to stop fronting Greece money and it gives Greece more breathing room, and because the principal would get paid back, banks won’t have to mark the debt down,” said Boockvar at Miller Tabak. But the “lack of any consensus on how to deal with this is what is weighing on the euro,” Boockvar added. The euro fell to a six-week low against the dollar EURUSD -0.8498% , making dollar-denominated assets more costly for holders of other currencies. Reversing losses, crude-oil futures CLM11 +0.37% closed at $99.65 a barrel, up 68 cents, while gold futures GCM11 -0.84% declined $13.20 to finish at $1,493.60 an ounce. U.S. consumer prices increased 0.4% in April, according to the Labor Department. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, prices rose 0.2%. Read more about CPI data. While the government’s read on inflation “didn’t come in too high or too low as far as consensus, the public feels prices are much higher,” said Jay Suskind, a senior vice president at Duncan-Williams Inc. The market is on guard to see if the economy “is going to continue to slow down with higher prices and [quantitative easing] winding down, or does the economy pick up and call this a slow patch?” said Suskind. Shortly after Wall Street’s open, initial data showed consumer sentiment for May edging upward.
