Post No. 1,135 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 12,240.11 down 62.44 or 0.51% from Wednesday's close of 12,302.55. Of the 30 Dow components 13 gained and 17 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $181.94 +0.59 0.33% 3,961,433 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $16.01 +0.32 2.04% 78,722,539 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $99.63 -1.71 1.69% 9,023,741 NYSE and percentage-wise was AT&T T $29.27 -0.69 2.3% 45,471,219 NYSE.

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 closing trailing P/E ratio is 14.08 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.31 (year ago it was 14.70); today's P/E estimate is 12.75 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.75 (year ago it was 12.59), and today's dividend yield is 2.46 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.42 (last year it was 2.65). 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 1,617.28 down 8.25 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,625.53. 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 Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Tuesday'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 $53.91 down 0.27 from Wednesday's average closing price of $54.18. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.65 (AXP/JPM) down 0.01 from Wednesday's median closing price of $45.66. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $55.5 -0.77 1.37% 3,061,326 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.78 +0.10 1.03% 99,024,481 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 lost $825 ($162,553 - $161,728).

MarketWatch Thursday 7/28/11 4:13 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed lower Thursday after deepening worries that a Congressional gridlock would lead to a U.S. debt default overshadowed some positive economic reports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 62.44 points, or 0.5%, to 12,240.11, with Exxon Mobil Corp. weighing the most after the oil giant's quarterly profits were curtailed by low natural-gas prices. It was the Dow's fifth straight session of losses. The S&P 500 lost 4.22 points, or 0.3%, to 1,300.67. The Nasdaq Composite ended up 1.46 points, or 0.1%, to 2,766.25.

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investors' Bus. Daily, 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 12,302.55 down 1.59% from Tuesday's close of 12,501.3. For the year the Dow is up 6.26%. Of the 30 Dow components 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $70.92 +0.76 1.08% 9,008,351 NYSE.

WSJ pC5 "Cisco drops 3.7% as DJIA tumbles" by Jonathan Chang says US stocks tumbled for 4th straight time wiping out all of the month's gains, led by tech stocks. Cisco dropped 60 cents after Juniper Networks reported weak 2q earnings. Caterpillar dropped 3.86, United Tech fell 2.44 & GE slumped 45 cents. DuPont fell 1.41. 3M fell 1.85 after dropping 5.4% on Tues following its earnings results. Boeing gained 47 cents after reporting higher than expected 2Q earnings & raising its full year outlook. Microsoft fell 75 cents.

Fin Times pA24 "Investors grow increasingly jittery over lack of DC debt deal" by Michael Mackenzie says US stocks fell accelerating loses sustained this week as investors grew apprehensive about the absence of a deal from Washington. Boeing reported a 20% rise in 2Q profits and upgraded its outlook for '11 lifting its earnings per share guidance to between 3.90 & 4.10.

USA Today p4B "Budget stalemate drags stocks down most in 2 months" by Bloomberg says stocks fell against dragging the S&P 500 down the most in almost 2 months as lawmakers indicated they were no closer to reaching a compromise on the fed debt limit.

Inv. Bus. Daily ppA1 "Stocks Walloped as volume steps up" by Paul Whitfield says losses were sharp & broad Wed as themarket took a hard shot in fast trade. Wednesday's action saw stocks plunge; trade rises. The current market outlook is that the market is in a correction.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,625.53 down 26.25 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,651.78. 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 Tuesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Tuesday'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 $54.18 down 0.88 from Tuesday's average closing price of $55.06.
