Post No. 1,202 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 29, 2011.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today & San Francisco Chronicle 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,139.3 down 100.96 or 0.9% from Friday's close of 11,240.36. For the year the Dow is down 3.8%. Of the 30 Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $64.64 +0.57 0.89% 15,844,352 NYSE and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $85.7 +0.32 0.37% 8,649,114 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $165.11 -1.87 1.12% 5,760,741 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.99 -0.26 3.59% 283,086,889 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Investors run from stocks" by Jonathan Chen says US investors went back to work Tues to find themselves trying to escape fallout from Europe's spiraling debt crisis.

Fin Times p24 "Heavy selling in fin'ls pushes S&P towards '11 nadir by Ajay Makan says US bank stocks fell as renewed fears re: eurozone sovereign debt hit investors' confidence.

NYT pB9 "Growth & debt concerns weigh down bank shares" by Chris Hauser says bank stocks took a hit as concerns about Europe's debt crisis & global economic growth pushed fin'l markets downward.

USA Today p4B "Markets maintain Sept's slip & slide trending path" by AP says US stocks fell sharply when it appeared that European markets were heading for a 2nd day of deep loses. Pfizer, Caterpillar & Johnson & Johnson were the only stocks ammong the 30 that make up the Dow to rise.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.43 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.54 (year ago it was 13.95); Wed's P/E estimate is 11.52 unchanged from Tues's P/E estimate of 11.52 (year ago it was 12.50), and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.75 up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.73 (last year it was 2.72). 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 1,471.83 down 13.34 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,485.17. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.06 down $0.45 from Friday's average closing price of $49.51. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.75 (AXP/JPM) down $0.82 from Monday's median closing price of $41.57. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $70.5 -0.54 0.76% 4,742,543 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.99 -0.26 3.59% 283,086,889 NYSE.

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 lost $1,334 ($148,517 - $147,183).

MarketWatch Tuesday 9/6/11 5:27 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks tumbled for a third straight session Tuesday, marking the S&P 500’s worst September start in its five-decade history, on worries related to Europe’s debt crisis. A rush to assets still perceived as safe sent the 10-year Treasury yield to a record low. The Swiss franc, recently a popular alternative to the euro and dollar, fell the most since the formation of the euro after the Swiss central bank capped the exchange rate.
The day’s action resulted in the roughest September start for U.S. stocks in years if not decades. Still, the close marked a recovery from session lows. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 100.96 points, or 0.9%, at 11,139.3 after sinking as much as 307.73 points. Combined with selloffs Thursday and Friday, the Dow is down 4.1% in three sessions — its worst three-day September start since 2002. The market was closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index shed 8.73 points, or 0.7%, to 1,165.24, with financials falling hardest among its major industry groups. Its three-session loss, amounting to 4.4%, was the index’s worst start to September since the index began in 1957.
Taking the baton from Friday’s disappointing jobs report, worries about Europe — from concerns Italy would dilute planned austerity measures to disagreements among euro-zone members about bailout packages — set U.S. stocks off on the wrong foot.
“In the next year to 18 months, the No. 1 risk that lingers out there is Europe. This could be a Lehman moment,” said Paul Ballew, chief economist at Nationwide, referring to the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in the fall of 2008, an event widely seen as a catalyst for the U.S. financial meltdown. The major indexes trimmed their declines after Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Narayana Kocherlakota said the U.S. economy was not in need of more stimulus last month and would likely not be in September either. Market Pulse: Kocherlakota says it’s ‘unlikely’ that more easing is justified. The Nasdaq Composite Index ended down 6.5 points, or 0.3%, at 2,473.83, also a third straight loss. For every four stocks that rose, 11 fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume was about 1.1 billion. Concerns are mounting that euro-zone officials won't act decisively to address the region's growing debt crisis, sending equities and the euro tumbling Tuesday and spurring investors to take refuge in German government bonds.
Speaking in Minneapolis, Kocherlakota signaled an unwillingness to support additional stimulus even after the government on Friday said the U.S. economy added no jobs in August. “When you get a jobs number like Friday it gets the alarm bells ringing,” said Ballew. That said, “You have to look at all the indicators, and up until employment on Friday most of those indicators were a little better than feared. When you put it all together we’re going to find the third quarter a little stronger than the first half, albeit with a recovery that is struggling to gain momentum.” The day’s sole U.S. economic release, a gauge of the U.S. services sector, showed unexpected improvement in August from the month before, with the Institute for Supply Management’s services index climbing to 53.3 last month from 52.7 in July. “It may shock equity-market participants, but the economic data that has been released for August and July do not yet corroborate the idea that the U.S. is in a recession,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC, wrote in reaction to the ISM release. Following a sharp drop in stock-index futures ahead of Wall Street’s start, the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Amex Cash Markets invoked Rule 48 for the open, lifting a requirement calling for price indications that help determine the floor price at the start, to smooth out trade.
The Swiss franc fell by the most it ever had against the euro after the Swiss central bank imposed a cap on the currency’s exchange rate. Gold came off a record as investors sold bullion to make up for losses in the Swiss franc. Read more about the Swiss central bank’s move. Gold for December delivery declined $3.60 to finish at $1,873.30 an ounce on the Comex in New York after reaching a record high of $1,923.70. Finance ministers from Germany, Finland and the Netherlands were meeting Tuesday to talk about Finland’s request for collateral in aid for Greece. In Italy, lawmakers were set to debate an austerity proposal as the country’s largest union called a strike. Read more on fears Italy will dilute new austerity measures. “It could get ugly, the collateral damage could be severe; what is the exposure for banks, how does it impact liquidity, we’re hoping for resolutions as soon as possible,” Ballew added. Concluding a three-month fight for control of Temple-Inland Inc., International Paper Co. on Tuesday said it had reached an agreement to acquire the shipping-box maker for $32 a share. Its shares led S&P 500 gainers, rallying nearly 9%.
