Post No. 1,032 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 April 24, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,381.26 down 130.78 or 1.05% from Friday's close of 12,512.04. Of the 30 Dow components 1 gained and 29 declined. The only and therefore biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $82.5 +0.17 0.21% 6,503,697 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $101.89 -2.44 2.34% 10,053,083 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monay, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Monday's trailing P/E is 14.23 down from Friday's trailing P/E of 14.32 (year ago it was 14.82); the P/E estimate is 12.62 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.74 (year ago it was 13.10), and the dividend yield is 2.38 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.70 (last year it was 2.7462). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,635.92 down 17.29 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,653.21. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.53 down 0.58 from Friday's average closing price of $55.11. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.28 (AXP/JPM) down 1.12 from Friday's median closing price of $47.16.

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 lost $1,729 ($165,321 -$163,592).

MarketWatch Monday 5/23/11 4:12 pm by Laura Mandaro says US stocks closed with broad losses Monday, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its lowest close in more than a month, as investors focused on a mounting fiscal crisis in Italy, Greece and Spain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 130.78 points, or 1.1%, to 12,381.26, with a 2.3% drop in Caterpillar Inc. shares leading declines in all but one of its components. The S&P 500 fell 15.9 points, or 1.2%, to 1,317.37. A 1.5% drop in the tech sub-sector led declines in all 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite fell 44.42 points, or 1.6%, to 2,758.90.
