Post No. 1,177 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 Monday at 10,864.65 up 37 or 0.34% from Friday's close of 10,817.65. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $158.98 +1.44 0.91% 7,205,013 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $24.45 +0.85 3.6% 60,954,467 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was JPMorgan JPM $33.41 -0.94 2.74% 50,272,780 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.42 -0.55 7.89% 395,458,316 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.07 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.28 (year ago it was 13.78); Mon's P/E estimate is 11.11 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 11.39 (year ago it was 12.36), and Mon's dividend yield is 2.82 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.78 (last year it was 2.74). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,434.22 down 4.89 Friday's closing numerator of 1,429.33. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.81 up $0.17 from Friday's average closing price of $47.64. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.01 (AXP/JPM) down $0.40 from Friday's median closing price of $39.41. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.12 -0.34 0.69% 3,381,328 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.42 -0.55 7.89% 395,458,316 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $2,297 ($143,422 - $142,933).

MarketWatch Monday 8/22/11 4:22 pm by Kate Gibson & Mayra Saefong says U.S. stocks finished higher Monday for the first session in three, bouncing back from a four-week retreat that has the S&P 500 Index down 13% so far this month. “The stock market is screaming to Ben Bernanke at the top of its lungs for a QE3, and the day’s gains is in anticipation of such,” said Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisors. “If we get it, we’ll have a nice rally, if we don’t, we’ll have a bloodbath.” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to speak at a central bank meeting on Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 37 points, or 0.3%, to close at 10,854.65, with 23 of its 30 components gaining ground, led by Hewlett-Packard Co., up 3.6%. The blue chips lost 451.37 points, or 4%, last week, their fourth straight weekly decline. “The phrase ‘we are all Europeans now’ has never run truer than the past week,” Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners, said of the European Union’s debt crisis, a prime focus of Wall Street’s worries.
“Until the stock market can string a few winning sessions together, the path of least resistance seems to be lower still,” he added. After sliding 4.7% last week, and losing 16% from its late July high, the S&P 500on Monday rose 0.3 point to finish at 1,123.82, with telecom up the most and financials the laggard among its 10 industry groups. The S&P 500 and Dow both logged their first climb in three sessions. “The reality is that a QE3 has become less likely after two Fed board members said they do not want Fed actions to look like they are in the business of generating stock returns,” said Springer, adding that the pullback in U.S. stocks from the day’s highs reflects this. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 3.54 points to end at 2,345.38, marking its first gain in five sessions. Decliners edged just ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.2 billion shares had traded by the close. “Investors this week will try to assess whether the outlook for the economy is quite as dire as the markets seem to suggest,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
“The chorus of economists and strategists predicting recession has grown louder in recent days and the withering impact of these pronouncements on confidence is sadly boosting the chances that they could be right. However, so far neither comprehensive data for July nor the more spotty data for August confirm this,” he added. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s national activity index improved in July, going to negative 0.06 from negative 0.38 in June. “We can now add this morning’s data point to the list of indicators that suggest the U.S. may indeed avoid a recession,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. Crude futures for September delivery, which expired at the end of Monday’s session, gained $1.86 to $84.12 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while October futures, the most actively traded contract, added $2.01 to $84.42 a barrel.
Gold futures surged to a record, finishing just below $1,900 an ounce.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution and 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,817.65 down 172.93 or 1.57% from Thursday's close of 10,990.58.

MarketWatch Friday 8/19/11 4:11 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks dropped Friday and lost ground for the fourth straight week, paced by a 6.6% weekly decline in the Nasdaq Composite, as investors slashed their expectations for economic growth and corporate spending. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended down 172.93 points, or 1.6%, at 10,817.65 and slid 4% for the week. The S&P 500 fell 17.12 points, or 1.5%, to 1,123.53 and slid 4.7% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite lost 38.59 points, or 1.6%, to 2,341.84. Tech stocks were particularly hard hit, led by a 20% drop in Hewlett-Packard Co. shares.
