Post No. 1,024 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 Wednesday at 12,650.18 up 80.6 or 0.65% from Wednesday's close of 12,479.58. Of the 30 Dow components 5 gained and 25 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $105.25 +3.17 3.11% 9,472,870 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $36.49 -0.42 1.14% 44,644,963 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. Wednesday's trailing P/E is 14.21 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E of 14.32 (year ago it was 15.3653); the P/E estimate is 12.74 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.74(year ago it was 13.10), and the dividend yield is 2.38 up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.36 (last year it was 2.62). 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 1,671.46 up 22.54 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,648.92. 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 $55.72 up 0.76 from Tuesday's average closing price of $54.96. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.55 (AXP/JPM) up 0.28 from Tuesday's median closing price of $47.29.

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 $2,254 ($167,146 - $164,892).

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times & USA Times 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,479.58 down 68.79 or 0.58% from Monday's close of 12,548.37. Of the 30 Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $170.5 +1.64 0.97% 8,775,246 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $43.81 +0.93 2.17% 36,264,124 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $102.08 -4.01 3.78% 19,178,975 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $36.91 -2.89 7.26% 100,257,600 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "DJIA sheds 68.79 as HP sinks 7%" by Jonathan Cheng says US stocks stumbled for a 3rd day in a row as weak economic data & a negative outlook from Hewlett-Packard heightened fears about a slowdown in the global economic recovery. Materials, industrials & energy firms were the hardest hit stocks on the day. Caterpillar sank 44.01, Alcoa dropped 47 cents while 3M shed 1.60 and Chevron fell 46 cents. Walmart 's fiscal 1Q profit rose 3% as int'l sales strength continued to drive the top line. Home Depot rose 42 cents as its 1Q profit increased 12%, topping expectations despite a surprise drop in sales as it also boostedits current year earnings forecast.

Fin Times p22 "Hewlett-Packard hauls down techs whilehousing daa hurt sentiment" by Michael Stothard says Hewlett-packard fell sharply after it lowered its full year earnings forecasts, while the wider markets fell for the 3rd straight session afer disappointing housing & industrial production data.

NYT pB10 "Hewlett-Packard's results help drag downthe Dow" by AP says a lower ernings forecast by HP and concerns about the economy's strength dragged the Dow down almost 70 ponts. Gains in bank & utilities limited the overall losses.

USA Today p4B "Lackluster housing starts, lowered HP outlook take toll" by Bloomberg says stocks retreated again Tues sending benchmark indexes to one month lows, as a reduced sales forecast at HPQ and an unexpeccted decline in housing starts dampened optimism about the economic recovery.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,648.92 down 19.09 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,658.01. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.96 down 0.31 from Monday's average closing price of $55.27. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.29 (AXP/JPM) up 0.81 from Monday's median closing price of $46.48. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $62.57 0.37 0.59% 2,875,256 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.9 +0.04 0.34% 144,666,013 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 lost $1,909 ($165,801 - $164,892).

MarketWatch Tuesday 5/17/11 5:31 pm by Laura Mandaro says US stocks fell for a third straight session after housing data and a slashed forecast from Hewlett-Packard Co. added to fears of further economic weakness, but shares ended off the day’s lows, helped by recent strength in earnings. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 68.79 points, or 0.6%, at 12,479.58, after losing almost 170 points. Also responding to the day’s economic data, Treasurys rose and oil futures tumbled to the lowest since February.Shares of Hewlett-Packard led Dow decliners, dropping 7.3% after the computer maker cut its forecast for the current quarter and full year. Shares of companies whose products have been feeding a global manufacturing rebound also were hit hard. Caterpillar Inc.’s shares lost 3.8%, while aluminum-producer Alcoa Inc. fell 2.8%.The S&P 500 Index ended down 0.49 point, or 0.04%, at 1,328.98, also recovering the bulk of the day’s losses. Industrials and natural-resource stocks led decliners, while utilities and financials rose.Investors are concerned that the U.S. economy is in for another period of sluggish growth, much like it suffered early last summer, when the post-recession rebound should have been in full swing. That year-ago cooling contributed to the Federal Reserve’s decision to unveil a second round of extraordinary monetary stimulus, or quantitative easing.“It’s a carryover of the sense that some of the recent economic data points, on a month-to-month basis, have softened,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, of the day’s stock decline. Plus, there’s concern about what will happen when the Fed wraps up its $600 billion in bond purchases, at the heart of what’s known as QE2. At the same time, China’s efforts to slow down its economy could cool demand for commodities.“The combination of those factors is unsettling or worrisome for investors who are long that risk exposure,” Luschini added. “You’re seeing some continuing unwinding of the risk-on trade in the materials and consumer-sensitive sectors.”Demand for risk, such as small-cap growth stocks, seems to be hitting a roadblock as the Federal Reserve's special stimulus winds down. Mark Hulbert has details on which types of stocks should benefit. Of the three major indexes, only the Nasdaq avoided extending losses to a third session.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ended up 0.9 point, or 0.03%, to 2,783.21.Volume was roughly in line with the past month, with 971 million shares traded hands on the New York Stock Exchange. Decliners outpaced advancers 17 to 12.Results from major retailers met a varying reception.Wal-Mart Stores Inc, a Dow component, fell 0.9%. The world’s largest retailer said first-quarter profit rose 3%, with demand from China and Mexico offsetting a drop in same-store sales at its U.S. unit. Falling Walmart U.S. sales signaled other retailers are luring more of the value chain’s domestic customers.
