Post No. 1,160 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.

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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 11,143.31 up 423.37 or 3.95% from Wednesday's close of 10,719.94. For the year the Dow is down 3.75%. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $166.73 +4.19 2.58% 8,961,182 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $15.92 +2.19 15.95% 285,109,710 NASDAQ-GS.

WSJ pC3 "Cisco provides a boost as US stocks surge" no byline says a possible turn around at Cisco was one big catalyst in a massive advance of blue chips Thurs. Cisco is charted under Good News saying cost controls follwoing a change in its strategy impressed investors. Bank of America which slumped 11% Wed was the second strong Dow firm up 48 cents.

Fin Times p20 "BofA and capital one to the fore as banking sector leads turnround" by Telis Demos says stocks continued a historic week of volatility with a sharp upward swing after an unexpected drop in jobless claims eased fears about the US economy. Cisco is charted.

NYT pA1 "It zigs, it zags: market is up 4$ after down day" by Floyd Norris says the stock market appears to have no idea as it lurches from panicked selling to fevered buying and then back again.

USA Today p4B "Lower jobless claims, strong company earnings lift stocks" b Bloomberg says US stocks rallied Thur following the worst plunge since the bull market began in '09, as a drop in jobless claims & better than expected earnings tempered concern that Europe's debt crisis is worsening.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Today's trailing P/E ratio is 12.48 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 11.99 (year ago it was 13.94); Friday's P/E estimate is 11.48 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 11.48 (year ago it was 12.49), and Friday's dividend yield is 2.73 down from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.84 (last year it was 2.71). 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 1,472.36 up 55.94 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,416.42. 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 $49.08 up $1.87 from Wednesday's average closing price of $47.21. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.88 (AXP/JPM) up $2.29 from Wednesday's median closing price of $38.59. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81.22 +2.99 3.82% 7,018,563 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.25 +0.48 7.09% 338,326,331 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 $5,594 ($147,236 - $141,642).

MarketWatch Thursday 8/11/11 4:59 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks soared Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing with a 400-plus point change for a fourth day, a first for the average, continuing Wall Street’s craziest week since 2008 after a drop in first-time jobless claims calmed nerves about the economy. Cisco, which has struggled with negative sentiment, beat expectations, leading to an upswing in shares, Ben Pimentel reports. “In 2008 it felt apocalyptic; this just feels a little tiring,” said Jason Weisberg, a floor trader on the New York Stock Exchange and senior vice president at Seaport Securities. “It’s the new norm,” Alan Valdes, director of floor trade at DME Securities, said of the ongoing volatility. After rising as much as 558.96 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 423.37 points to 11,143.31, or 4% higher. The blue-chip index is now off 2.6% for the week, after four days of closing up or down 400 points or more. Cisco Systems Inc. rallied 16% a day after the technology bellwether reported upbeat results. The S&P 500 Index gained 51.88 points, or 4.6%, to 1,172.64, with financials leading the rise, which included all 10 of its industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 111.63 points, or 4.7%, to 2,492.68. For every stock that fell, a dozen gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 1.9 billion shares traded. Composite volume neared 7 billion. Gold futures declined the most in seven weeks after CME Group Inc. hiked margins on Comex contracts, with the contract for December delivery shedding $32.80 to finish at $1,751.50 an ounce on the Comex in New York. Crude futures rose $2.83 to $85.72 a barrel. The Labor Department reported applications for jobless benefits declined by 7,000 last week to 395,000 — the lowest number of initial claims since early April. Economists had expected claims to rise. “While the economy may not be getting better, jobless claims indicate that the labor market may not be getting worse,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. The Dow industrials on Monday tanked 634 points, only to rebound with a 429-point gain Tuesday. On Wednesday, the average fell 519 points in triple-digit moves reminiscent of Wall Street’s behavior during the financial crisis of late 2008. “In 2008, the problem was a massive overhang of poorly understood, faulty mortgage-backed securities created and insured by U.S. financial institutions with virtually no reliable collateral,” noted Peter Morici, a business professor at the University of Maryland. “This time, the principal debtors are sovereigns with the capacity to tax and restructure debt.”
