Post No. 1,120 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 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings in each case as of July 7, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,587.42 up 202.26 or 1.63% from Monday's close of 12,385.16. Of the 30 Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Coca-Cola KO $69.335 +2.215 3.3% 17,056,009 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $66.61 -0.48 0.72% 12,365,078 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.05 down from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.16 (year ago it was 14.43); today's P/E estimate is 12.60 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.60 (year ago it was 12.49), and today's dividend yield is 2.44 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.42 (last year it was 2.74). 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,663.17 up 26.73 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,636.44. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.44 up 0.89 from Monday's average closing price of $54.55. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.10 (AXP/JPM) up 0.52 from Monday's median closing price of $45.58. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $57.03 +0.51 0.9% 3,403,607 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.58 +0.14 1.44% 305,189,439 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 made $2,673 ($166,317 - $163,644).

MarketWatch Tuesday 7/19/11 4:15 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed near their highs of the day Tuesday, driving the Dow average to its best performance of the year, after surprisingly strong results and forecast from International Business Machines Corp. and progress from U.S. lawmakers on borrowing limits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 202.26 points, or 1.6%, to 12,587.42. The price-weighted index was boosted by a $9.93, or 5.7% rise, in IBM's stock. Microsoft Corp. shares jumped 3.6%. Tech stocks also lifted the Nasdaq Composite. Its gain of 61.41 points, or 2.2%, to 2,826.52 was its best day since October. The S&P 500 ended up 21.29 points, or 1.6%, to 1,326.73.

*****************
The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times,New York Times, USA Today, 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,385.16 down 94.57 or 0.76% from Friday's close of 12,479.73. For the year the Dow is up 6.98%. Of the 30 Dow components 1 gained and 29 declined. The only and biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $106.23 +0.04 0.04% 6,946,775 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $69.55 -1.73 2.43% 7,278,089 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $9.72 -0.28 2.8% 226,540,854 NYSE.

WSJ pC7 "Dow industrials sink as default jitters rise" by Brendan Conway says stocks fell to their lowest close this month as jitters over European sovereign debt & the lack of progress in US debt ceiling negotiations sparked a flight from risky assets. IBM lost 26 cents in the regular session but gained 2% after hours as it beat Wall St's 2Q earnings expectations & raised its full year earnings guidance. Bank of America was the Dow's worst performer as it shed 28 cents ahead of its 2Q Tues earnings report. Boeing was weak falling $1.73.

Fin Times p22 "Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo suffer declines" by Andres Schipani says Wall St stocks closed lower despite largely solid earnings as investors remained focused on a heavy week for 2Q results led by downtrodden banks. 106 S&P 500 firms will release earnings with 26 fin'ls reporting, led by Bank of America, Goldman Sachs & Wells Fargo due on Tues.

NYT pB8 "Markets stumble on debt & deficit worries" by Matthew Saltmarsh says investors remained nervous about stress tests on European banks as well as the debt ceiling talks in Washington, leading to a sell off in stocks.

USA Today p4B "Worries about debt deal or its lack weigh stocks down' by Bloomberg says stocks fell extending last week's loss for the S&P 500 amid concern US lawmakers will fail to reach a deal on the nation's debt limit 2 weeks before a deadline. Dank of America fell the most among the Dow amid a broad bank sell off after 8 European lenders failed stress tests last week.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,636.44 down 12.5 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,648.94. 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 $54.55 down 0.59 from Friday's average closing price of $54.96. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.58 (AXP/JPM) down 0.32 from Friday's median closing price of $45.90. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $94.6 -0.87 0.91% 2,907,358 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.72 -0.28 2.8% 226,540,854 NYSE.

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 $1,236 ($164,880 - $163,644).

MarketWatch Monday 7/18/11 5:03 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell Monday as investors worried about Europe’s debt crisis and the debate over lifting the U.S. debt ceiling ahead of a big week for corporate results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 94.57 points, or 0.8%, to 12,385.16, with 29 of 30 components ending lower. The Dow last week lost 177.44 points, or 1.4%, capping its worst week in more than a month. Uncertainty surrounding high government debt levels in Europe and the U.S., and growing wariness about lawmakers’ ability to deal with them, has been pressuring stocks. “Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are not explaining realities to the voters, and this lack of leadership, as much as anything, remains a barrier to improvements in both market and economic prospects,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. “The reality is that any solution to U.S. debt problems will require a disciplined plan to both cut entitlement spending and raise taxes over a number of years. Any solution to the European debt problem will eventually require the richer nations in Europe to subsidize the budgets or at least the borrowing costs of their more troubled brethren,” Kelly added. Bank of America Corp. led blue-chip losses with a drop of 2.8% after Bloomberg reported the bank may need to build its capital reserves by $50 billion and break its chief executive officer’s vow to hike the firm’s dividend due to mortgage losses. Bank of America reports earnings on Tuesday, and is one of more than 100 companies in the S&P 500 slated to report quarterly results this week. “Despite an economy which appears to have grown by just 2% annualized in the first half of 2011, corporate profits have continued to surge,” noted Kelly at J.P. Morgan Funds. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index declined 10.7 points, or 0.8%, to 1,305.44, with financial firms leading losses that swept up all of the index’s 10 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 24.69 points, or 0.9%, at 2,765.11. For every stock gaining, five fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume topped 874 million. Investors’ concerns included Europe’s debt crisis and debt-ceiling talks in Washington, where lawmakers face an Aug. 2 deadline for raising the debt limit. In Europe, European Union leaders plan a summit on Thursday as they attempt to prevent the region’s troubles from spreading. “Concerns about debt in Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain have now spread to Italy,” said Kelly at J.P. Morgan Funds. In Washington, House Republicans have set a vote for Tuesday on what could prove to be a symbolic gesture, as Democratic leaders say the GOP’s plan cannot pass the Senate. “While the vast majority of lawmakers recognize that not raising the debt ceiling would lead to economic and financial disaster, the negotiating parties appear willing to tussle all the way down to the wire,” said Kelly. There may be some similarities between the companies, and even CEOs Mason and Pincus, but, writes John Shinal, it's wise to be apprised of distinctions. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, oil futures fell to just under $96 a barrel, and gold futures closed at a record $1,602.40 an ounce. Stocks continued their slide after a measure of builder confidence showed a bit of improvement in July, with the National Association of Home Builders sentiment index rising two points to 15 in July. “The number is well below the break even level of 50 that separates growth from contraction. The poor state of the industry is at the same time no news to anyone,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. Financial stocks were particularly hard hit Monday, weighed by concerns that recent European bank stress tests under-represented banks’ sensitivity to a sovereign-debt default and a selloff in insurer stocks.
Genworth Financial Inc., leading decliners on the S&P 500, after fellow mortgage insurer MGIC Investment Corp. reported a loss as loan defaults rose. Allstate Corp. shares slid 5% on uncertainty over a management shake-up. Read more on movers and shakers. Also among the S&P 500’s biggest movers, shares of News Corp. fell 4.3%. The media company, which is publisher of this report, contended with a phone-hacking scandal at its recently shuttered News of the World paper in Britain.
