Post No. 1,087 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 June 20, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of June 20, 2011.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, the combined Sat/Sun issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times, Sat'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 AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,934.58 down 115.42 or 0.96% from Thursday's close of 12,050.15. For the week the Dow is down 69.78 points or 0.58% from last Friday's close of 12,004.36. For the year the Dow is up 3.06%. Of the 30 Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $51.96 +0.64 1.25% 11,933,332 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Exxon XOM $76.78 -1.66 2.12% 36,263,346 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $14.93 -0.54 3.49% 162,095,616 NASDAQ-GS.

WSJ pB5 "Blue chips end week in red" by Steve Russolillo says the Dow dropped, finishing down for the 7th time in 8 weeks as worries about Italian banks, Greece's austerity measures & disappointing tech earnings overshadowed a bigger than expected rebound in durable goods data. The Dow was led lower by Cisco which dropped 54 cents. Blue chips are down 5.1% this month.

Fin Times p12 "Sharp tech losses as earnings disappoint" by Michael Stothard says risk assets took another beating in the final session of a volatile week on Wall St, with tech stocks suffering particularly sharp losses after disappointing earnings from some of the leading participants in the industry.

NYT pB7 "Equities skid again on European debt fears" by Bloomberg says stocks retreated on Fri, sending the S&P lower for a 3rd consecutive day, as concern about the European debt crisis intensified & Oracle dragged down Tech shares.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Saturday's trailing P/E is 13.58 down from Friday's trailing P/E of 13.71 (year ago it was 14.75); Saturday's P/E estimate is 12.20 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.60), and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.51 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.49 (last year it was 2.73). 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 1,576.91 down 15.27 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,592.18. 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 today's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.56 down 0.82 from yesterday's average closing price of $53.35. The median closing price of today's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.92 (AXP/JPM) down 0.67 from Thursday's median closing price of $44.59. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $90.89 -1.45 1.57% 4,164,326 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $10.52 -0.19 1.77% 121,604,031 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 $1,527 ($159,218 - $157,691).

MarketWatch Friday 6/24/11 4:38 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks finished lower Friday, with the Dow Industrials marking a third-straight session of losses, a day after Moody’s Investors Service put ratings of more than a dozen Italian banks on review and Oracle Corp. reported disappointing results. “The market unravel was probably precipitated by worries about European banks and earnings shortfalls in the tech sector,” said Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. Down for a third day to post a loss of 0.2% for the week, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index declined 15.05 points, or 1.2%, to close at 1,268.45, with energy and technology knocked the hardest among its 10 industry groups. Also off for a third consecutive session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 115.42 points, or 1%, to end at 11,934.58 — down 0.6% for the week. All but three of its 30 components declined, led by Cisco Systems Inc. , off 3.5%. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 33.86 points, or 1.3%, to finish at 2,652.89, with the technology-heavy index scoring a weekly gain of 1.4%. That was its first winning week in the past six. For every stock gaining nearly two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.74 billion shares traded by the close. Looking ahead, “we are expecting a stronger dollar and weaker markets -- this isn’t over,” said David Pankiw, partner at Cubic Financial Advisors. “I don’t believe the Greece situation, nor the expected [company] earnings reports, will be a positive to the markets.” The U.S. will see the end of the second round of quantitative easing and Europe is not out of the woods with the Greece approval not a fix to the overall situation, he said. “Overseas pressures are too much. Investors are very pessimistic.” Moody’s late Thursday put the long-term debt and deposit ratings of more than a dozen Italian banks and two Italian government-related financial institutions on review for possible downgrade. “Worries are building again in whether the European Union can contain the debt crisis around Greece, Ireland and Portugal,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, who noted a rise in Spanish and Italian bond yields. Spain’s two-year note yield climbed to its highest since late May, while Italy’s two-year note hit its highest level since late in 2008, noted Boockvar. Spain’s 10-year note yield hit its highest level since May 2000, while Italy’s 10-year note was just shy of highs not seen since November 2008, Boockvar said. Oracle’s shares closed 4.1% lower after the company reported late Thursday that hardware sales were off 6% in its fourth quarter. Oracle in March had projected an increase in sales. Shares of Micron Technology Inc. lapsed nearly 15% after the maker of computer-memory chips reported third-quarter sales and profit below Wall Street’s expectations. The latest U.S. economic data proved stronger than anticipated, with durable-goods orders up by 1.9% in May, as the Commerce Department also revised up its estimate of economic growth to a 1.9% rate for the first quarter. “As has been the case lately, the domestic numbers are playing second fiddle to the events overseas,” said Kevin Giddis, fixed-income strategist at Morgan Keegan & Co.
