Post No. 1,252 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.

A read of the print editions of Thursday's The Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, The 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 10,939.95 up 131.24 or 1.21% from Tuesday's close of 10,808.71. For the year the Dow is down 5.5%. Of the 30 Dow components AT&T was unchanged, 24 gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $94.66 +3.18 3.48% 12,908,908 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $31.51 +1.65 5.53% 17,728,508 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was McDonalds MCD $85.83 -0.65 0.75% 7,675,125 NYSE and percentage-wise was Verizon VZ $35.77 -0.63 1.73% 21,673,031 dual listed.

WSJ pC4 "Blue chips make it 2 in a row, up 131" by Jon Cheng says blue chips finished with triple digit gains for a 2nd day as investors weighed signs of improvement in the US economy & the prospects for stabilizing Europe's banks. Alcoa rose 25 cents, Chevron added $3.18 & Exxon was up $1.12. In tech, Cisco gained 58 cents, Hewlett-Packard was up 84 cents & Intel was up 63 cents. Disney is charted under Good new as it rose $1.65 after Citigroup raised it to buy from hold.

Fin Times p24 "Yahoo up 20% on the week amid Microsoft-Alibaba bid war hopes" by Ajay Makan says shares in Yahoo rose 9% in the last 2 hours of trading on reports that Microsoft is considering a bid.

NYT pB6 "Wall St follows European markets higher" by Joshua Brustein says Wall St stocks closed higher on Wed supported by some positive economic data on the US economy and optimism that European policy makers would act to contain the potential damage of its sovereign debt problems.

USA Today p5B "Stocks surge on jobs news, outlook for European banks" by AP says stocks rose sharply for a 2nd straight day Wed on signs that the US economy grew in Sept & that European officials are moving to support the region's struggling banks.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.20 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.06 (year ago it was 14.80); today's P/E estimate is 11.15 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 11.15 (year ago it was 13.01), and today's dividend yield is 2.83 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.86 (last year it was 2.57). 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 1,445.48 up 17.33 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,428.15. 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 $48.18 up $0.58 from Tuesday's average closing price of $47.60. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.13 (DD/VZ) up 0.81 from Tuesday's median closing price of $38.32. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.57 +1.49 3.1% 5,619,687 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.77 +0.01 0.17% 289,343,167 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 $1,733 ($144,548 - $140,788).

MarketWatch Wednesday 10/5/11 4:13 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks Wednesday ended with gains of more than 1%, picking up momentum in the final two hours of the session, as a round of better U.S. economic data and reports that suggested European officials could recapitalize the banking system lifted sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.21% gained 131.24 points, or 1.2%, to 10,939.95, led by a 5.5% pop in Disney Co. DIS -0.35% shares. Chevron Corp. CVX -0.06% contributed 24 points to the Dow's rise, as the oil major followed oil futures' 5% surge after a drop on inventories. The S&P 500 SPX +1.79% gained 20.08 points, or 1.8%, to 1,144.03, led by chemicals, metals and energy stocks. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +2.32% rose 55.69 points, or 2.3%, to 2,460.51.
