Post No. 1,179 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 Tuesday at 11,176.76 up 322.11 or 2.97% from Monday's close of 10,864.64. Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and only Bank of America declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $164.32 +5.34 3.36% 6,748,636 NYSE and percentage-wise was Exxon XOM $73.66 +3.48 4.96% 37,130,375 NYSE. The only and biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.3 -0.12 1.87% 557,622,188 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.11 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.07 (year ago it was 13.73); Tues's P/E estimate is 11.11 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 11.11 (year ago it was 12.36), and Tues's dividend yield is 2.81 down from Monday's dividend yield of 2.82 (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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,476.78 up 42.56 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,434.22. 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 $49.23 up $1.42 from Monday's average closing price of $47.81. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.60 (AXP/JPM) down $1.59 from Monday's median closing price of $39.01. The lowest volume was 3M MMM

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 $4,745 ($147,678 - $142,933).

MarketWatch Monday 8/23/11 4:12 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied as the Dow was up over 300 points as Wall Street chalked up its best performance in more than a week. "A shift in investor psychology is the primary catalyst for today's strong rally," said Clark Yingst, chief market analyst for investment bank Joseph Gunnar. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 322.11 points, or 3%, to 11,176.76. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 38.53 points, or 3.4%, to 1,162.35. The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 100.68 points, or 4.3%, to 2,446.06.

Fin Times p20 "Bank of America suffers its 4th biggest single-day loss of the year" by Ajay Makan says US stocks ended the day almost flat after falling bank stocks put paid to an early rally (DK note: this must be an English expression)which had been driven by hopes of a further round of monetary stimulus. Bank of America suffered its 4th largest single day loss of the year, at one point coming within touching distance of its year low of $6.31, as it struggled to manage bad news. Layla Peruzzi, equity derivatives head at Jefferies, said that "the market is forcing Bank of America into a capital raise" and predicted it wold have to raise up to $50 bil through disposals or by issuing new shares. Separately BofA's card unit agreed to pay $5 mil and suspend arbitrations of consumer debt collections in Cal for 2 years, to settle a lawsuit brought by San Francisco.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks give up most of heft advance" by Vincent Mao says stocks started off with a bang, but ended with a whimper as a rebound Mon faded. Monday's action was stocks gave up most gains in lower trade. The current outlook is the market is in a correction.

NYT pB5 "Shares manage a small rise after enduring a long losing streak" by Graham Bowley says coming off 4 straight weeks of brutal losses, stocked ended barely higher on Mon, as investors attention turned to the Fed's annual symposium late this week in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Shares of Hewlett-Packard which had suffered in recent sessions, ended up 3.6%.

USA Today p4B "Market gains stunted after Goldman Sachs shares fall" by Bloomberg says an early rally faded Mon after Goldman Scahs slumped after Reuters reported that CEO Lloyd Blankfein hired a criminal defense attorney.

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.

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.
