Post No. 1,149 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 Friday at 11,444.61 down 60.93 or 0.54% from Thursday's close of 11,383.68. For the week the Dow is down 698.63 points or 5.75% from last Friday's close of 12,143.24. Of the 30 Dow components 18 gained andl 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $91.0597 +1.5097 1.69% 21,318,656 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $30.74 -0.96 3.03% 32,612,926 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Bank of America BAC $8.1075 -0.7225 8.18% 485,422,688 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $30.74 -0.96 3.03% 32,612,926 NYSE.
As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.76 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.34 (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 Friday's dividend yield is 2.66 up from Thursday'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.
Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,512.17 up 8.05 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,504.12. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.41 up $0.27 from Thursday's average closing price of $50.14. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.50 (AXP/JPM) up $0.12 from Thursday's median closing price of $42.38. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $82.61 +0.38 0.46% 7,768,639 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.1075 -0.7225 8.18% 485,422,688 NYSE.
If Friday 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 $797 ($151,217 - $150,420).
MarketWatch Friday 8/5/11 4:40 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks indexes on Friday finished a frenzied ride with stiff weekly losses that came with worries about the U.S. and global economy. As Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at Standard & Poor's, put it: markets were "all over the place." After the prior session's 513-point drop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 60.93 points, or 0.5%, to 11,444.61, leaving it off 5.8% for the week. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell less than 1 point to 1,199.38, down 7.2% from last Friday's close, its worst week since November of 2008. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 23.98 points, or 0.9%, to 2,532.41, off 8.1% for the week.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.
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 11,383.68 down 512.76 or 4.31% from Wednesday's close of 11,896.44. For the year the Dow is down 1.67%. 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.
WSJ pC7 "Only 3 in S&P manage to rise" by Jon Cheng says Thurs's market tsunami spared few firms wiping out nearly the whole of he large cap S&P. Even Kraft Foods couldn't hang onto its strong intraday advance, succumbing to the powerful currents & finishing down 1.5%.
Fin Times p20 "Industrials & energy take S&P decline into correction territory" by Johanna Kassel says US stocks tumbled to their worst one day losses for more than 2 years, with industrial & energy stocks leading the declines as a surge int he dollar raised fears that exporters would be hit by higher costs. All 3 main US indices entered correction territory, meaning they were more than 10% lower than their '11 highs. Exxon fell 5% while Chevron lost 5.8%. Kraft was one of the few bright spots, leading the Dow after news that it would split into 2.
NYT pB1 "Retreating on every front" by Nelson Schwartz says investors roared into reasury bonds, cash & other low risk assets, acting on their fears about the weak global economic outlook on a day when stock markets int he US declined more than 4%.
USA Today p4B "Stocks tank as emotional aspect of this is ticking higer" by Bloomberg says stocks plunged Thurs, driving the S&P to its biggest decline since Feb '09, as concern the global economy is weakening prompted a global rout. One three out of 500 stocks in the S&P rose. Losses exceeded 10% for 13 of the firms & all 10S&P groups slumped led by losses topping 5.3% for energy, material & industrial shares. Chevron dropped $5.92 and Alcoa fell $1.32 as Japan sold its currency, driving down commodities priced in dollars as the dollar strengthened.
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.

Kraft is the nation's largest food maker and had long touted its scale & reach as its strength.
