Post No. 1,147 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 Thursday at 11,383.68 down 512.76 or 4.31% from Wednesday's close of 11,896.44. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $171.48 7.-35 4.11% 10,832,900 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $12.94 -1.32 9.26% 50,420,490 NYSE.

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. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.34 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.30 (year ago it was 14.48); today's P/E estimate is 12.57 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.57 (year ago it was 12.70), and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.55 unchanged from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.55 (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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,504.12 down 67.74 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,571.86. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.14 down $1.26 from Wednesday's average closing price of $52.40. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.38 (AXP/JPM) down $1.05 from Wednesday's median closing price of $44.43. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $82.23 -3.95 4.58% 8,988,225 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.83 -0.71 7.44% 300,628,981 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 $6,776 ($157,186 - 150,420).

MarketWatch Thursday 8/4/11 4:40 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks were clobbered Thursday, thrusting Wall Street into correction mode, as investors compiled a lengthy list of concerns about the U.S. and global economy. “We’re just worrying ourselves to death,” said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank. “How do you get out of this roller coaster of the relentless onslaught of bad news?” The three benchmark stock indexes all lapsed into negative territory for the year; oil dropped sharply on thoughts of reduced global demand; and gold sank as investors cut holdings to cover stock positions. Treasurys and the dollar rallied. Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 512.76 points, or 4.3%, to 11,383.68, with all 30 components losing ground and the index down 1.7% for 2011. The index’s point drop was its worst since Dec. 2008 and its percentage drop was the steepest since Feb. 2009 -- both low points of the credit and financial crisis. Kraft Foods Inc.’s stock was the sole Dow gainer for much of the session, but it turned lower as broad losses mounted. The food giant said it planned to split into two publicly trading companies. Off 4.6% for the year, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index declined 60.27 points, or 4.8%, to 1,200.07, with the natural-resource and energy sectors hit the hardest among its 10 industry groups. It was the worst percentage loss since February 2009. Down 3.6% for the year, the Nasdaq Composite Index shed 136.68 points, or 5.1%, to 2,556.39, its worst percentage loss since January 2009. All three indexes are now at least 10% from their bull-market closing highs, translating to what many analysts consider a correction. “There’s a lot of uncertainty here,” said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at Standard & Poor’s, who listed as an emerging concern the idea that corporations might have to scale back expectations for the third quarter. “If the Street numbers are too high, with the third quarter projected at record levels, if that has to be taken down at the last minute, the last remaining support beam is being pulled away,” said Silverblatt. One market strategist said both the Main Street and Wall Street are suffering from crisis fatigue after “two weeks of Washington putting us over the edge” before reaching a deal to hike the federal debt limit. The economic concerns are new only in that Wall Street had been fixated on the debt battle in Washington, and once the threat of a government default was no longer an issue, “it’s back to basics, and that’s the economy,” said Silverblatt. European stocks also fell sharply on worries that Italy or Spain might require help from the European Union. “The one thing this perhaps does do, it effectively dispels the myth that the U.S. could achieve a self-sustaining recovery all on its own. Longer term, we’re going to have to be a lot more careful monitoring what is going on in Europe and emerging markets,” said McCain, noting the implications for U.S. exports. Investors also digested a slate of recent central bank moves that highlighted the tough road facing some of the world’s biggest economies. European Central Bank resumed bond purchases in a bid to keep the region’s debt crisis from expanding, hours after the Bank of Japan expanded its asset-purchase program and Japanese monetary authorities intervened to depress the yen. For every stock rising, nearly 15 fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where trading volume approached 1.2 billion at 3:15 p.m. Composite volume neared 5.6 billion. “Volume is not enormous, but it’s more than it has been, so by the new standard it’s moderate to heavy,” said Silverblatt at S&P. Ahead of the opening bell, the Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits fell by 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 400,000; initial claims from two weeks ago were revised up to 401,000. The mixed weekly report comes ahead of Friday’s monthly jobs report for July.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Thursday'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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,896.44 up 29.82 or 0.25% from Tuesday's close of 11,866.62. For the year the Dow is up 2.75%. Of the 30 Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Coke KO $68.4 +1.33 1.98% 14,015,254 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was NYSE and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $96.28 -0.90 0.93% 16,885,057 NYSE.

WSJ pC7 Dow Theory confirms it's an official swoon" by Steve Russolillo says the century old Dow Theory says both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation Average need to move in tandem to confirm a trend and on Tues the Dow Theory officially gave a sell signal as Dow industrials and Dow transports broke through June lows, with the Dow transportation index hitting a '11 low. The symbiotic relationship between the two indexes is a clear sign to Dow theorists that the economic message and the market outlook are moving in tandem. The idea is that making goods is one leg of the industrial economy and moving those goods around is the second leg, so their trends should be in sync.

WSJ pC7 "Blue chips climb out of deep rut" by Jon Cheng says blue chip stocks reversed a steep morning drop to snap an 8 day losing streak. Tech stocks powered the rebound as Intel rose 30 cents.

Fin Times p24 "Late session rally in tech stocks helps to power advance" by Telis Demos says US equities managed to steer clear of an 8th straight decline as a late session rally in tech shares powered the end of the streak.

NYT pB8 "Shares waver, then eke out gains to end a losing streak" by hCris Hauser says after 7 days of losing ground, the stock market made some back on Wed.

USA Today p4B "Markets reverse losses on Fed stimulus speculation" by Bloomberg says stocks rebounded from sharp losses & closed slightly higher Wed amid speculation the Fed Res may consider another stimulus program to prevent a recession. Coke added $1.33 & GE climbed 26 cents leading the Dow's gains.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,571.86 up 3.93 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,567.93. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.40 up 0.14 from Tuesday's average closing price of $52.26. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.43 (AXP/JPM) up 0.25 from Tuesday's median closing price of $44.18. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $54.22 +0.06 0.11% 4,999,564 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.54 +0.05 0.53% 173,809,217 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 $393 ($157,186 - $156,793).

MarketWatch Wednesday 8/3/11 4:11 pm by Laura Mandauro says U.S. stocks closed higher Wednesday, clawing back from deep session lows and ending a losing streak that would have marked the Dow average's worst since the late 1970s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 29.82 points, or 0.3%, to 11,896.44, its first advance in nine sessions. The S&P 500 rose 6.29 points, or 0.5%, to 1,260.34, its first rise in eight sessions. The Nasdaq Composite rose 23.83 points, or 0.9%, to 2,693.07. Some support from earnings and bargain hunters helped offset a bleak round of economic data. All three indexes are now slightly higher for the year; the Nasdaq had lost yearly advances intraday.
