Post No. 1,121 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.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday'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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,587.42 up 202.26 or 1.63% from Monday's close of 12,385.16. For the year the Dow is up 8.72%. 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.

WSJ pC1 "Tech sends stocks soaring" by Matt Phillips says a surging tech secgtor & rising optimism over an increase in the US debt limit drove the Dow to its biggest gain of the year with tech stocks soaring even before Apple posted blockbuster earnings after the close. The Dow had its biggest percentage & point advance this year. The Dow was up due to strong profit reports from IBM and Coke and Harley Davidson which gave stocks a healthy opening fillip. Bank of America is charted under Bad News as it posted its third loss in 4 quarters as mortgage related issues continued to overshadow improvements in other operations. Also under Bad News is Johnson & Johnson as its 2Q profit declined 20% on costs associated with its exit of a heart device business & product recalls. IBM is charted under Good News as its shares hit a new record after it reported good 2Q results and boosted its full year earnings outlook.

Fin Times p26 "Boost for tech sector as IBM beats expectations" by Telis Demos says a session of sharp gains in the broader indices at midday was powered by IBM's strong earnings, which was leading shares higher across the tech sector.

NYT pB11 "Profits & debt plan prompt market rebound" by AP says strong corp profits & a bipartisan plan to lift the fed debt limit drove a stock market rebound on Tues as Coke, IBM & other firms reported better 2Q earnings.

USA Today p1B "Stocks see year's biggest jump" by Adam Shell says stocks posted their biggest gains of the year Tues amid strong profit reports from Coke & IBM and renewed hopes that US lawmakers would be able to break their stalemate and strike a deficit reduction deal to avert a gov default.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.23 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.05 (year ago it was 14.52); 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 2.40 down from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.44 (last year it was 2.72). 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.
