Post No. 1,287 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 September 23, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,869.04 up 162.42 or 1.39% from Tuesday's close of 11,706.62. Of the 30 Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $66.56 +2.84 4.46% 12,687,856 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $26.59 -0.22 0.82% 62,980,171 NASDAQ-GS.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.01 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.25 (year ago it was 14.11); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 11.75 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 11.75 (year ago it was 13.25), and today's dividend yield is 2.65 up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.60 (last year it was 2.53). 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 1,568.25 up 21.47 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,546.78. 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 $52.27 up 0.70 from Tuesday's average closing price of $51.56. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.46 (DD/VZ) up 0.91 from Tuesday's median closing price of 40.57. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV
$57.5 +1.16 2.06% 4,722,150 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.59 +0.13 2.01% 207,682,711 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 $2,147 ($156,825 - $154,678).

MarketWatch Wednesday 10/26/11 5:21 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks struck solid gains Wednesday, recouping much of the prior day’s drop, after Europe reached an agreement in principle on a bank-recapitalization plan and on better-than-forecast earnings from corporations including Boeing Co.
“The market is up today because our expectation bar had been set significantly low for today’s European summit, so we were expecting a numberless communiqué, so with that being the base case, we’ve shifted our focus to better-than-expected earnings across the board,” said Art Hogan, equity strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. “We fully believe the euro zone does not have a death wish and will come up with a constructive plan by next week,” when the G-20 group of major industrialized and developed economies meets, Hogan added. EU leaders said in a joint statement they had come to terms on a broad strategy at a summit in Brussels, but offered no figure for bank recapitalization requirements. After rising as much as 184.6 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 11,869.04, up 162.42, or 1.4%, with all but three of its 30 components gaining. Leading blue-chip gains, Boeing shares rose 4.5% after the aerospace giant reported a larger profit for its latest quarter than Wall Street anticipated and hiked its outlook for 2011 earnings. Off the Dow, Corning rose 3% after the specialty-glass maker tallied better third-quarter results than expected. The S&P 500 Index added 12.95 points, or 1.1%, to 1,242, with energy and finance companies gaining the most and consumer-discretionary firms the only laggard among its 10 sectors. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 12.25 points, or 0.5%, at 2,650.67. Shares of Amazon.com Inc. slumped 13% after the online mega retailer reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter and gave a disappointing forecast for the current period. For every stock that fell, four gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.1 billion shares traded; composite volume neared 4.8 billion. Equities started out strong after Germany endorsed a hike to Europe’s bailout fund. Stock indexes had wavered amid varying headlines out of Europe, with Bloomberg reporting European Union talks with banks on bondholder losses had stalled, despite what seemed to be a building consensus on a 50% write-down for Greece’s lenders. An EU official speaking on condition of anonymity told Bloomberg the discord was over the details of the proposed transaction. “The rest of the day’s activities will center on European concessions, debt write-downs and how much of this can they stick the banks with without causing them to fail,” noted Kevin Giddis, a fixed-income strategist at Morgan Keegan. All three benchmark indexes spent much or a small portion of the session in the red on worries talks to resolve Europe’s debt crisis might be stalling, only to turn upward again on various related reports. Dow Jones reported French President Nicolas Sarkozy planned to call China’s leader on Thursday to talk about how Beijing might contribute to the euro-area rescue fund aimed at purchasing sovereign debt issued by Greece and other troubled European nations. “The market is rallying on the story that China will buy bonds issued by the EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility),” Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, said in emailed comments, citing a similar report in the Irish Times newspaper. “This is not a surprise as they expressed interest back in January,” added Boockvar, who noted that the EFSF is triple-A-rated paper, with the purchase providing the Chinese with diversification from U.S. Treasurys. Also Reuters, citing EU sources, said euro-zone leaders planned to expand the bailout fund to about 1 trillion euros ($1.38 trillion), using leverage of at least four times.

Investor sentiment also had been lifted by a government report that illustrated companies hiked orders for large machinery and other longer-lasting goods in September. Excluding orders for planes and other transit equipment, business expenditures on core capital goods climbed at their most rapid pace in six months. Separately, the Commerce Department reported new U.S. home sales rose 5.7% to a 313,000 annual pace in September.

The following are excerpts from Wed morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday's The Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution and 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,706.62 down 207 or 1.74% from Monday's close of 11,913.62. For the year the Dow is up 1.1%. Of the 30 Dow components only Intel gained and 29 declined. The only and therefore biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise Intel INTC $24.63 +0.04 0.16% 58,428,827 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was 3M MMM $77.04 -5.14 6.25% 12,640,708 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Dow slides 207 points; crude oil cruises up" by Steve Russolillo says stocks tumbled Tues following a mixed bag of corp earnings & as hopes for a big solution to Europe's debt crisis waned. Shares of 3M led the Dow lower falling $5.14 after it reported 3Q earnings and rev that fell short of expectations & it lowered its full year outlook, noting a number of its customers reduced inventories in anticipation of slowing demand. DuPont was down $1.15 despite it reporting better than expected 3Q earnings & rev and it increased its full year ernings outlook.

Fin Times p20 "S&P 500 slides as refiners feel the weight of rising price of crude" by Ajay Makan says a sharp narrowing of the spread between West Texas Intermediate crude oil & Brent hit US refiners who have benefited from access to cheap WTI.

USA Today p4B "Lagging consumer confidence, Europe issues pull stocks down" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Tues halting a 3 day rally in the S&P after UPS slumped, economic reports missed estimates & investors awaited today's European summit.

NYT pB10 "Stocks close sharply lower on news from Europe" by Christine Hauser says stocks in the US & Europe sank Tues as the markets got another jolt from the European Union, this time the abrupt cancellation of a meeting of finance ministers that was meant to precede a leaders' summit meeting on Wed.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,546.78 down 27.36 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,574.14. 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 $51.56 down 0.91 from Monday's average closing price of $52.47 The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.57 (DD/VZ) down 0.84 from Monday's median closing price of 41.51. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $75.28 -1.37 1.79% 4,186,822 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.46 -0.26 3.87% 200,297,098 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 $2,736 ($157,414 - $154,678).

MarketWatch Tuesday 10/25/11 3:43 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks declined Tuesday, arresting a three-day rise for the S&P 500 Index, with investors wary before the euro-area summit and as earnings and outlooks from a few bellwethers weighed.“There’s always a concern about what is going to happen with Europe and how they are going to put together a deal that satisfies everyone. The bottom line is, investors in Greek paper shouldn’t be thinking about a haircut; they should be worried about getting scalped,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners.“While earnings have been good, two big names came out with misses — 3M and Cummins. Put that on top of the collapse of Netflix, and people are taking profits,” he added.After falling as much as 175 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.74% was lately down 144.77 points at 11,768.87, with 26 of its 30 components lower. Shares of 3M Co. MMM were the largest weight, off 5.8% after the industrial conglomerate said earnings fell 2% in the third quarter and cut its 2011 profit forecast.Off the Dow, Cummins Inc. CMI +0.17% reported third-quarter results that beat Wall Street’s estimates, but the engine maker’s shares shed 4.8% after it cut its full-year revenue estimate.United Parcel Service Inc. UPS +0.27% shares also fell, retreating nearly 5% after the package-delivery service reported earnings a bit above estimates and revenue in line with forecasts. Also, Netflix Inc. NFLX -0.07% shares fell nearly 35% after the video-rental firm said it lost 800,000 subscribers in the third quarter, more than anticipated. Read more on Netflix. The S&P 500 SPX -2.00% dropped 18.89 points at 1,235.27, with financial companies declining the most among its 10 industry groups.“Given the run the market has had in the last three weeks, it should be no surprise that this morning’s hit erased yesterday’s gains in about 30 minutes,” remarked Elliot Spar, a market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus.“The market’s resiliency will be tested tomorrow [Wednesday] as it deals with the outcome of the European summit statement. If the bulls are going to maintain control, the S&P 500 has to close today [Tuesday] closer to 1,250 than 1,230,” he said.After a two-day rise, the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -2.26% skidded 49.12 points at 2,650.32.For every stock gaining, four fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 661 million shares traded as of 3:25 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume neared 3.4 billion.Oil futures rose to a 12-week high on expectations that demand will rise on falling U.S. supplies, as well as on improved sentiment for growth in Asia and other emerging markets.Crude for December delivery gained as much as $3.38 to $94.65 a barrel, and finished up $1.90 at $93.17 a barrel. Read more about on oil in Futures Movers.Gold futures closed at $1,700.40 an ounce, up $48.10, or 2.9%.Overseas, German Chancellor Angela Merkel voiced opposition to a portion in the draft European Union summit that called for backing the ongoing use of nonstandard measures, or the buying of bonds in the secondary market, by the European Central Bank.In the United States, Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday attempted to revive his flagging campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, proposing an optional flat income tax of 20%. Yet the plan was met with some criticism: Perry’s proposal “will not jump-start the economy and is fiscally irresponsible,” wrote Peter Morici, a professor at the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business, in emailed commentary.
Since the 42% of Americans who currently pay no income taxes at all are unlikely to opt for Perry’s 20% plan, and those who do will only pick it if they can pay less, the Perry plan would raise less than the present system, according to Morici, former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission.Home prices in 20 U.S. cities fell more than expected in August, illustrating one of the barriers curbing the economic recovery. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values declined 3.8% from the year-ago period. Separately, the Conference Board said its gauge of consumer sentiment fell to 39.8 in October from a revised 46.4 level the month before. See story on consumer confidence.Banyan’s Pavlik down played the significance of either economic report, and said there is little correlation between consumer confidence and spending.
