Post No. 997 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, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times,Investor's Business Daily's, USA Today, New York Times, 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 12,810.54 up 47.23 or 0.37% from Thursday's close of 12,763.31. For the week the Dow was up 2.4% and for the month up 3.3%. For the year the Dow is up 10.65%. Of the 30 Dow components 18 gained, Kraft was unchanged and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $115.45 +2.81 2.49% 11,144,174 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $25.92 -0.79 2.96% 260,293,973 NASDAQ-GS.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks tack on gains in rising volume" by Paul Whitfield says stocks posted small gains Fri, wrapping up a second positive week in a row. Friday's action was up in higher volume with the current outlook being a confirmed uptrend. Caterpillar was the lead listed in "Leaders up in volume".

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 14.53 down from Friday's trailing P/E of 14.95 (year ago it was 16.21); the P/E estimate is 12.91 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.68 (year ago it was 13.95), and the dividend yield is 2.30 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.31 (last year it was 2.48). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,692.65 up 6.24 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,686.41. 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 $56.42 up 0.21 from Thursday's average closing price of $56.21. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.38 (AXP/JPM) up 0.19 from Thursday's median closing price of $47.19. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $63.28 +0.22 0.35% 2,444,231 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $12.3 -0.12 0.97% 66,096,631 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 $624 ($169,265 - $168,641).

MarketWatch Friday 4/29/11 4:16 pm by Carla Mozee says U.S. stocks rose Friday, and posted gains for the week and the month of April, with a climb in shares of Caterpillar Inc. helping to push the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 47.23 points, or 0.4%, higher to 12,810.54.

The S&P 500 Index closed Friday up 3.1 points, or 0.2%, at 1,363.61, with energy the best performer of the index's 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite on Friday edged up 1 point, or 0.04%, to 2,873.54. For the week, S&P 500 Index rose 2% and ended April up 2.9%.
