Post No. 1,038 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 Thursday at 12,402.76 up 8.1 or 0.07% from Wednesday's close of 12,394.66. Of the 30 Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $104.19 +0.94 0.91% 6,633,588 NYSE and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $24.67 +0.48 1.98% 77,928,368 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $65.51 -0.78 1.18% 12,035,850 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $36.19 -0.44 1.2% 8,047,107 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 14.10 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E of 14.06 (year ago it was 14.50); 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 down from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.41 (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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,638.77 up 5.28 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,637.70. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.63 up 0.04 from Wednesday's average closing price of $54.59. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.56 (AXP/JPM) up 0.22 from Wednesday's median closing price of $46.34. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $92.82 +0.13 0.14% 2,672,273 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.46 +0.08 0.7% 123,755,643 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $107 ($163,877 - $163,770).

MarketWatch Thursday 5/26/11 4:57 pm by Laura Mandaro says US stocks overcame earlier losses Thursday to close up as technology and consumer discretionary stocks countered the weight of weaker-than-forecast jobless claims and first-quarter economic growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 8.10 points, or 0.1%, to close at 12,402.76, with shares of Merck & Co. % and Home Depot Inc. dragging on the index. Nineteen out of the 30 stocks on the Dow finished in positive territory. The Nasdaq Composite Index led the rise in equity markets, boosted by shares of Microsoft Corp. which make up about 5% of the index’s weighting. The Nasdaq Composite rose 21.54 points, or 0.8%, to close at 2,782.92. Microsoft shares, also the best performer on the Dow, finished up 2% after Greenhorn Capital hedge-fund manager David Einhorn reportedly called on Steve Ballmer to step down, referring to the chief executive as an “overhang” on the company’s stock. Hewlett-Packard Co. shares also contributed to a gain on the Dow, rising 1.5%. Another big tech gainer on the day was S&P 500 stock NetApp Inc. with shares closing up 6.9%.
The S&P 500 Index rose 5.22 points, or 0.4%, to 1,325.69, with health care the worst performing sector and consumer discretionary the best.
Shares of Tiffany & Co. led the S&P 500, closing up 8.6%, after the high-end jewelry retailer beat Wall Street earnings estimates for the first quarter and raised its outlook for the year. Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, said Microsoft’s and Tiffany’s gains along with a weaker dollar certainly helped to keep stocks in positive territory, but a general lack of investor confidence appears to be restricting the S&P 500 to its 50-day moving average, currently around 1,330. “There’s almost an indication the market wants to recover but there’s just a lot of uncertainty,” Pavlik said. Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners, said investors may be seeing equity markets as the best place to put their money in reaction to weak GDP figures. Before the opening bell, the Commerce Department said the U.S. economy expanded at the same 1.8% rate it had earlier forecast for the first quarter. Economists had expected the government to revise the gross-domestic-product growth rate to 2.2%. “Second-quarter GDP will be 2.25% or 2.5% rather than 3%, so the Fed won’t raise interest rates any time soon,” Cardillo said. “So there’s no place to put money, and we go back to the first equation of corporate profits are still strong.” All three indexes had spent morning trading in the red, as investors digested weak economic data, but moved into positive territory by midday. On the New York Stock Exchange, about five stocks advanced for each two decliners by the end of the day. About 864 million shares changed hands by market close with 72.6% of the volume for advancing stocks. Earlier in the day, the Labor Department said the number of people who filed applications for unemployment benefits rose by 10,000 to 424,000 in the week ended May 21. Economists had expected a decline. Another obstacle for stocks were comments from Eurogroup head Jean-Claude Juncker, who reportedly said the International Monetary Fund may withhold its portion of aid to Greece next month because of a lack of a refinancing guarantee from the country. Oil and metals futures settled down for the day. Gold for June delivery fell 0.3% to settle at $1,522.80 an ounce and crude oil for July delivery fell 1.1% to settle at $100.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
