Post No. 1,157 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 August 2, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 10,719.94 down 519.83 or 4.62% from Tuesday's close of 11,239.77. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $162.54 -8.07 4.73% 13,990,919 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.77- 0.83 10.92% 493,505,263 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Today's trailing P/E ratio is 12.59 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.10 (year ago it was 14.40); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 11.48 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 11.48 (year ago it was 12.80), and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.70 down up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.81 (last year it was 2.62). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,416.42 down 68.68 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,485.10. 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 $47.21 down $2.29 from Tuesday's average closing price of $49.50. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.59 (AXP/JPM) down $2.66 from Tuesday's median closing price of $41.25. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $78.23 -4.46 5.39% 9,376,695 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.77- 0.83 10.92% 493,505,263 NYSE.

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 made $6,859 ($148,510 - $141,642).

MarketWatch Wednesday 8/10/11 4:46 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks toppled again Wednesday, continuing a manic trend that has had the Dow industrials swinging 400 points each day this week. Intensifying worries about Europe’s sovereign-debt crisis had Wall Street more than erasing the prior day’s rally. “The turmoil that now envelopes global financial markets has come upon us with a frightening suddenness,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. Less than three weeks ago, on July 22, the S&P 500 closed at 1,345, up almost 7% for the year, noted Kelly. At Wednesday’s close, the S&P 500 was off nearly 11% for the year.
Treasurys climbed for a third day; bank stocks were slammed in the U.S. and Europe; the U.S. dollar gained and the euro lost ground. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 519.83 points, or 4.6%, to 10,719.94. On Tuesday the blue-chip index closed with a 429.92-point gain. On Monday, it lost 634.76 points. The three-session stretch of 400-plus moves in either direction last occurred November 2008. “Fears of a ‘repeat of 2008’ have led many individual investors to sell stocks and other risky assets,” said Kelly. But, the selloff may well be overblown, given the market has already priced in an outcome that is not yet clear. “Over the next few weeks we will get a much clearer idea about whether the economy has the resilience to stay on a growth path,” Kelly said. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropped 51.77 points, or 4.4%, to 1,120.76, with financials slammed the hardest and utilities faring the best of its 10 major industry groups. Read more about financials. Bank of America Corp. shares slid 11% after Brian Moynihan, its chief executive officer, told a conference call the lender is positioned to perform even in a slower recovery, but also said economic fundamentals have improved for the country and his bank from a year ago. The Nasdaq Composite Index shed 101.47 points, or 4.1%, to 2,381.05. For every stock on the rise two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 2.2 billion shares traded. Composite volume neared 8.3 billion. “Investors have been poking at the euro, saying they have to have a legitimate solution, they are not looking for papering over the problem, and they won’t rest until they figure out a way to devalue the euro or allow constituent countries to go back to their respective currencies,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank. The benchmark indexes came off session lows after Societe Generale, the second biggest bank in France, issued a broad denial of all market rumors following speculation about the nation’s credit worthiness, which sent the expense of insuring French government debt to a high. “I think this is investors’ indictment of central governments. I thought maybe central banks commanded a bit more respect, but investors worry that we’re going to enter a downturn without the assistance of fiscal stimulus,” said Ablin. The Federal Open Market Committee on Tuesday said it would keep benchmark interest rates near zero to help prop up a recovery that is progressing slower than the central bank had anticipated. On Wednesday afternoon, President Barack Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke met at the White House, one of a series of meetings on the economy after the downgrade of the nation’s credit rating and partisan battle over the debt ceiling.

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

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 Bloomber) 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 11,239.77 up 429.92 or 3.98% from Monday's close of 10,809.85. For the year the Dow is down 2.92%. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained and 0 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $87.48 +4.88 5.91% 20,302,903 NYSE and percentage-wise was NYSE.

WSJ pC6 "US stocks rise after seesaw day" by Steve Russolillo says all 30 components of the Dow rose Thur led by Bank of America which surged 17%. Alcoa jumped 91 cents and American Express gained $3.06. Disney rose $1.67 ahead of its 3Q results which had profit up 11% on better results at its tv and theme park divisions. BofA is charted under Good News.

Fin Times p20 "Fin'ls head turnround with S&P racking up gains of 4.7%" by Telis Demos says US stocks on Tues enjoyed their est day since '09 after the Fed Reserve's announcement, paring much of the extremely steep drop on Mon. Fin'l led gains with Bank of America coming back from a 20% drop Mon to gain 16.7%. Consumer staples lagged gains after Citigroup analysts lowered their estimates for second half growth at a group of large retailers including Walmart & Home Depot.

NYT pB1 "Stocks surge as a Fed statement sinks in" by Graham Bowley says in anotehr wild day on Wall St stocks climbed, then dropped, then rocketed as traders did a double take on the Fed's much awaited satement on the economy Tues afternoon. Interest rates are to stay low.

USA Today p5B "Fed pledge to keep rates low gives boost to fin'l stoks" by Bloomberg says stocks rallied the most in more than 2 years as the Fed said it was prepared to use a range of tools to bolster the economy after Mon's stock rout.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,485.10 up 56.80 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,428.30. 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 $49.50 up $1.89 from Monday's average closing price of $47.61. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.25 (AXP/JPM) up $0.70 from Monday's median closing price of $38.55. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $51.69 +3.11 6.4% 8,894,732 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.6 +1.09 16.74% 480,754,936 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 $5,680 ($148,510 - $142,830).

MarketWatch Tuesday 8/9/11 4:50 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Tuesday surged the most in two years after its worst day since 2008, as a divided Federal Open Market Committee said benchmark rates would stay near zero through mid-2013. “While the Fed didn’t officially give up QE3 [quantitative easing] today, the Treasury market has handed it to us instead,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, noting the 10-year note’s yield drop Tuesday to a record low, after a steady fall since early February. After relinquishing 634.76 points, or 5.6%, in Monday’s battering — the sixth-largest point loss in its history — the Dow industrials rallied back, gaining 429.92 points, or 4%, to 11,239.77. It had fallen as much as 205 points after the Fed statement. All 30 of the blue-chip index components gained, with Bank of America Corp. up almost 17%, recouping most of the prior day’s 20% drop. The S&P 500 Index added 53.07 points, or 4.7%, to 1,172.53, with financial firms faring best of the index’s 10 industry groups after getting socked the hardest on Monday. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 124.83 points, or 5.3%, to 2,482.52. For every stock falling, nearly a dozen gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 2.4 billion shares exchanged hands. Composite volume topped 8.9 billion. The Fed announced it would keep interest rates, now near 0%, at ultralow levels at least through mid-2013 — the first time it put a time frame on its low-rate stance. The monetary committee also lowered its outlook for the pace of recovery, and discussed a range of policy tools to stimulate growth. Three members of the FOMC dissented, stating they preferred to keep the “extended period” wording in talking about its benchmark interest rate. Read more on the Fed decision.
“Three dissents on Fed policy is pretty close to mutiny,” noted Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. “Today’s action is at best a bunt, with the opportunity for the Fed to swing at another pitch” come the annual Jackson Hole symposium later in the month, according to Guy LeBas, Janney Montgomery Scott’s Chief Fixed Income Strategist. “The forum is notorious for introducing new policy mechanisms and implicitly running them by the ultimate umpire, the financial markets,” he said. The recent decline in equities, which last week had the market in a correction mode, followed by Monday’s stunning drop involves “a market pricing in increased chances of debt default out of Europe,” said Nick Raich, director of research at Key Private Bank. “Economic activity will slow in Europe because of increased austerity measures, but right now the market is pricing in off the cliff. If we can avoid that, if the [European Central Bank] can manage to get through, then the market is oversold,” he commented.Wall Street’s recent havoc is “giving investors flashbacks to the nightmare of 2008. However, unlike Freddie Krueger, 2008 isn’t back,” said Matt Freund, senior vice president of investment-portfolio management at USAA Investment Management Co. “Unlike three years ago, corporate balance sheets are healthy, liquidity is plentiful and the level of speculative investing is down dramatically,” added Freund, who attributed the current market volatility to “the ongoing situation in Europe and the potential for a slowing global economy.”
