Post No. 1,124 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 Thursday at 12,724.41 up 152.5 or 1.21 from Wednesday's close of 12,571.91. Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and 1 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $109.43 +2.33 2.18% 8,195,971 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $10.23 +0.38 3.86% 227,215,095 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel INTC $22.81 -0.18 0.78% 79,962,457 NASDAQ-GS.

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 ratio is 14.21 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.23 (year ago it was 14.32); 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 unchanged from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.75). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,681.26 up 20.14 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,661.12. 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 $56.04 up 0.67 from Wednesday's average closing price of $55.37. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.44 (AXP/JPM) up 0.91 from Wednesday's median closing price of $46.53. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $95.84 +1.59 1.69% 3,508,937 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $10.23 +0.38 3.86% 227,215,095 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 $2,016 ($168,126 - $166,110).

MarketWatch Thursday 7/21/11 4:13 pm says Microsoft Corp. on Thursday posted a 30% gain in quarterly profit despite a decline in sales of its flagship Windows operating-system software, thanks to increased demand for the firms’ business technology and videogame console. Microsoft said its fiscal fourth-quarter net income rose to $5.87 billion, or 69 cents a share, from $4.52 billion or 51 cents a share in the same period last year. The Redmond, Wash.-based company said revenue for the period ended June 30 rose 8% to $17.4 billion. Freshly overtaken by Apple as the world's biggest smartphone provider, Nokia posts a net loss of $610 million for the second quarter. But funds derived from patent royalties — from a dispute with Apple, no less — helped out a bit. Analysts polled by FactSet Research had expected Microsoft to report earnings of 59 cents a share and $17.2 billion in revenue for the quarter. “We continue to see strong business demand across all of our products,” Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner said in a statement. Shares of Microsoft rose slightly in after-hours trading following the earnings announcement to $27.24. Sales of the Windows operating system fell slightly to $4.78 billion from $4.74 billion, while contributing $2.9 billion in profits for the quarter, according to Microsoft. The company’s business unit, which includes the Office software suite, saw revenue rise to $5.78 billion from $5.38 billion and contribute $3.6 billion in profits. As for online services, the unit reported revenue rose 17% to $662 million, while posting a widened loss of $728 million. As Microsoft has invested heavily in its effort to take market share from Google Inc., its Internet business consistently has turned in financial losses. Microsoft’s search and advertising partner, Yahoo Inc., reported Tuesday that the companies have yet to see the sort of improvement in revenue gained per search that had been originally envisioned. Revenue for the server and tools unit rose 12% to $4.64 billion, and registered a profit for the quarter of $1.8 billion. The server and tools unit includes versions of Windows used by businesses and organizations in powerful server computers, as well as consulting services. The entertainment and devices unit, for its part, saw revenue increase 30% to $1.49 billion, while swinging to a profit of $32 million. Microsoft said the revenue gain came primarily thanks to higher sales for its Xbox console and related online services.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog.

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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,571.91 down 15.51 or 0.12% from Tuesday's close of 12,587.42. Of the 30 Dow components 13 gained, Kraft was unchanged and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $72.07 +1.54 2.18% 7,943,297 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies UTX $87.22 -1.60 1.8% 6,179,097 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Dow industrials take a breather" by Steven Russolillo says stocks closed slightly lower a day after the Dow notched its biggest advance of the year. United Technologies led the Dow lower, shedding $1.60 or 1.8% while IBM fell $1.56 after hitting a record on strong earnings results. Microsoft slumped 48 cents. Bank of America was the Dow's biggest gainer rising 28 cents a day after reporting its 3rd loss in 4 quarters. Its stock is down 10% this month.

Fin Times p24 "Yahoo & Riverbed suffer falls as Apple fails to lift tech sector" by Telis Demos says Apple's shares hit a record on Wed after its quarterly performance burst through expectations but the good news did little to move the broader US markets. United Technologies fell 1.8% despite raising its full year profit forecast. Boeing will split a 460 plane order with Airbus from American Airlines rose 2.2%. Bank of America rose 2.9%.

NYT pB7 "A flat days as negotiations on debt ceiling continue" by Reuters says stocks closed nearly unchanged a day after Wall St's best rally since Mar, as uncertainty about negotiations over lifting the nation's debt ceiling overshadowed strong earnings from Apple.

USA Today p6B "Earnings offset debt unease, leaving markets relatively flat" by Bloomberg says US stock indexes fell slightly Wed as higher than forecast earnings & takeovers offset concern the gov will fail to reach an agreement on the deficit.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,661.12 down 2.05 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,663.17. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.37 down 0.06 from Tuesday's average closing price of $55.43.

If Wednesday 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 $207 ($166,317 - $166,110).

MarketWatch Wednesday 7/20/11 4:13 pm by Myra P. Saefong says U.S. stocks closed modestly lower Wednesday, after spending most of the session wavering between small gains and losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 15.51 points, or 0.1%, to close at 12,571.91 after scoring its best session of the year on Tuesday. Shares of United Technologies Corp. led the decliners, down 1.8%. The S&P 500 fell 0.89 point, or 0.07%, to end at 1,325.84 and the Nasdaq Composite closed at 2,814.23, down 12.29 points, or 0.4%.
