Post No. 1,125 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 Friday'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 Thursday at 12,724.41 up 152.5 or 1.21 from Wednesday's close of 12,571.91. For the year the Dow is up 9.91%. 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.

WSJ pC1 "Progress on debt rubs off on stocks" by Tom Lauricella says signs of progress in dealing with debt woes on both sides of the Atlantic propelled US stocks, European bonds & the euro sharply higher in volatile trading.

Fin Times p24 "Robust results at Morgan Stanley bring cheer to fin'l sector" by Johanna Kassel says US markets were bolstered by better than expected results from Morgan Stanley, a Greek bail out deal & hopes for a resolution to the debate over raising the US debt ceiling. American Express which reported after the bell on Wed, gained 0.95 on strong profits. Cardholders spend a record amount in 2Q.

NYT pB5 "A Reclue Plan for Greece lifts Fin'l markets" by AP says the market rose on news that European leaders were drawing up a new rescue plan for Greece.

USA Today p4B "Upbeat news from Greece, Morgan Stanley fuels stocks" by Bloomberg says stocks rallied Thurs extending a weekly gain for the S&P as European officials announced a plan that will give add'l aid to Greece & Morgan Stanely's results beat estimates.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.53 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.21 (year ago it was 14.44); 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 2.38 down from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.40 (last year it was 2.70). 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.
