Post No. 1,153 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 10,809.85 down 634.76 or 5.55% from Friday's close of 11,444.61. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $82.6 -8.39 9.22% 20,710,967 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 12.82 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.76 (year ago it was 14.48); Monday's P/E estimate is 11.48 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.57 (year ago it was 12.80), and Monday's dividend yield is 2.65 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.66 (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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,428.30 down 8,387 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,512.17. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.61 down $2.80 from Friday's average closing price of $50.41. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $38.55 (AXP/JPM) down $3.95 from Friday's median closing price of $42.50. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $48.58 -3.99 7.59% 9,355,103 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.51 -1.66 20.32% 667,977,091 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 $8,387 ($151,217 - $142,830).

MarketWatch Monday 8/8/11 4:13 pm by Laura Mandauro says U.S. stocks closed with broad, deep losses Monday after a Standard & Poor's cut of the U.S. credit rating to double-A sparked a flight to safe-haven investments such as gold. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 634.76 points, or 5.6%, to 10,809.85, its worst one-day point and percent loss since Dec. 1, 2008, near the peak of the 2008 financial crisis, and the first below-11,000 close for the average since October, 2010. The S&P 500 shed 79.92 points, or 6.7%, to 1,119.46, also its worst day since Dec. 1, 2008. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 174.72 points, or 6.9%, to 2,357.69, its worst percentage loss since Dec. 1, 2008.

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 & Daily Report (Ga. - carries Bloomber) 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.

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. For the year the Dow is down 1.15%. Of the 30 Dow components 18 gained and 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.

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.
