Post No. 1,203 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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,414.86 up 275.56 or 2.47 from Tuesday's close of 11,139.3. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained and 0 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $99.29 +3.68 3.85% 10,572,767 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $7.48 +0.49 7.01% 257,094,768 NYSE.

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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,508.24 up 36.41 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,471.83. 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 $50.27 up $2.21 from Tuesday's average closing price of $49.06. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.40 (AXP/JPM) up $1.65 from Tueday's median closing price of $40.75. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $72.96 +2.46 3.49% 4,620,549 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.48 +0.49 7.01% 257,094,768 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 $3,641 ($150,824 - $147,183).

MarketWatch Wednesday 9/7/11 4:29 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday finished higher for their first session in four as fears about Europe’s debt troubles abated and the Federal Reserve found modest economic expansion. A ruling by Germany’s top court that the country could participate in regional rescue plans and the Italian Senate’s approval of an austerity plan helped offset fears about Europe. “One of the interesting things about the market the last three days and possibly last three months is the key focus has been Europe, and today the news is less bad and quite possibly good,” said Art Hogan, head of product strategy, equity research, at Lazard Capital Markets. “One of the biggest concerns we have had was the ability of the ECB [European Central Bank] to deal with this crisis, and at least for today, they seem to be moving in the right direction,” Hogan added. And, the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book found modest growth in its survey collected on or before Aug. 26 from its 12 districts. “Bottom line, no surprises,” Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, noted of the information collected by the central bank. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 275.56 points to close at 11,414.86, with all 30 of its components rising, led by Bank of America Corp. , up 7% a day after a management shake-up. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 33.38 points to end at 1,198.62, with financial companies leading gains that included all 10 of its industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 75.11 points to closed at 2,548.94. All three benchmark indexes finished at their highest levels of the day. For every stock that fell nearly nine gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 954 million shares traded by the end of the session. Crude-oil futures added $3.32 to close at $89.34 a barrel, while gold futures fell $55.70 to close at $1,817.60 an ounce in New York. In an address to a joint session of Congress Thursday night, Obama plans to propose bolstering employment by injecting more than $300 billion into the economy next year, mainly through tax cuts, infrastructure spending and aid to state and local governments. In Berlin, the country’s Constitutional Court rejected lawsuits aimed at halting Germany’s participation in emergency loan packages, easing worries some about Europe’s ongoing debt troubles. In a speech Wednesday in London, Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans said the Fed should move aggressively to curb unemployment, even if it means temporarily boosting inflation.

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%.
