Post No. 1,315 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 November 1, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,153.68 up 259.89 or 2.19% from Thursday's close of 11,893.79. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained. For the week the Dow is up points or 2.17% from last Friday's close of 11,983.24. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $187.385 +4.035 2.2% 3,227,080 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $36.7 +2.06 5.95% 22,263,595 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.79 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.67 (year ago it was 14.42); Friday's P/E estimate is 12.35 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 13.46), and Friday's dividend yield is 2.62 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.64 (last year it was 2.50). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,605.86 up 35.14 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,571.52. 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 $53.53 up 1.15 from Thursday's average closing price of $52.38. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.02 (DD/VZ) up 0.60 from Thursday's median closing price of 42.42. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $58.3 +1.03 1.79% 3,123,812 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.21 +0.18 2.99% 206,782,100 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 $3,514 ($160,586 - $157,152).

MarketWatch Friday 11/11/11 3:2 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks climbed for a fourth day in five on Friday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rejoining the Dow industrials in positive turf for 2011, after a gauge of consumer confidence exceeded expectations and events overseas assuaged concern about Europe. “The market is celebrating the back off in rates in Italy and the new leadership in Greece and Italy. Magic wands are in high demand in Europe,” Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co., noted in emailed afternoon commentary.U.S. stock futures rose as signs of stabilization in Europe and encouraging results from Walt Disney gave investors reason for optimism ahead of consumer sentiment data. With less than an hour remaining in Friday’s session, two of the three benchmark indexes were in line to finish up on the week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 244.95 points, or 2.1%, to 12,138.74 Friday, with all 30 of its components gaining ground, led by Walt Disney Co. , which rallied 6% a day after the company reported a fourth-quarter profit that exceeded expectations. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index SPX +1.95% added 21.37 points, or 1.7%, to 1,261.06, with consumer discretionary gaining the most among its 10 industry groups.The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP +2.04% advanced 48.85 points, or 1.9%, to 2,674.For every stock falling five advanced on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 471 million shares traded as of 3:10 p.m. Eastern.Helping boost sentiment, Italy’s Senate on Friday voted for austerity measures initially pledged to European Union allies in late October, helping to further bring down the yield on Italy’s 10-year government note, which on Tuesday had climbed above the 7% level that pushed three other nations — Greece, Portugal and Ireland — to request rescue funds. “The stakes cannot be higher with the world’s third-largest bond market staring into the abyss. Sorry for the hyperbole, but I can’t express enough the danger to the global economy if Italy loses access to the capital markets,” Boockvar said.In Greece, Lucas Papademos, a former vice president of the European Central Bank, was sworn in Friday as interim prime minister of a unity government.A gauge of confidence proved better than expected, with the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan’s preliminary index of consumer sentiment for November climbing to 64.2 from 60.9 in October.
“While still at sluggish levels, confidence has stabilized for now and we’ll soon see what that means for holiday sales as we’re just weeks away from Black Friday,” noted Boockvar.

The following are excerpts from Friday morning's Blog.

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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 11,893.79 up 112.85 or 0.96% from Wednesday's close of 11,780.94. Of the 30 Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. For the year the Dow is up 2.73%. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was 3M MMM $80.32 +1.32 1.67% 4,646,259 NYSE and percentage-wise was Cisco CSCO $18.61 +1 5.68% 148,101,819 NASDAQ-GS. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.03 -0.13 2.11% 324,987,962 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks occupy positive terrain" by Steve Russolillo says stocks rose as hopes of an improving labor market & clarification about France's credit rating buoyed investor sentiment. Cisco led the Dow higher rising $1 as its upbeat outlook offered signs that its turnaround effort but may be working. Bank of America & American Express were decliners. Merck and Cisco are charted under Good News as Merck increased its quarterly dividend for the 1st time in 7 years.

NYT pB5 "A rebound in Europe, followed by the US" by Christine Hauser says stocks recovered on Thurs in the US & in Europe & the euro strengthened slightly after Italy managed a successful offering of debt securities though at a sharply higher rte than the last time it went to auction.

USA Today p4B "Stocks bounce back on jobs report, hopeful European news" by Bloomberg says stocks rose Thurs rebounding from Wed's dive as jobless claims fell while a retreat in Italian bond yields & the selection of a new Greek prime minister tempered concern about Europe's debt crisis.

Fin Times p22 "Apple sours the mood on Nasdaq after iPad talk sparks 2.6% drop" by Ajay Makan says a rare bad day for Apple shares weighed on the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite index, which underperformed the Dow and the S&P 500. Bank of America was down 2.1% as it reached a settlement with the SEC over its mortgage selling practices but faces legacy lawsuits against its Merrilly Lynch unit. JPMorgan whose mortgage selling settlements has been sanctioned moved upwards gain 0.6%.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,571.52 up 14.91 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,556.61. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.38 up 0.49 from Wednesday's average closing price of $51.89. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.42 (DD/VZ) up 0.18 from Wednesday's median closing price of 42.24. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $57.4 +0.48 0.84% 3,390,848 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.03 -0.13 2.11% 324,987,962 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $1,491 ($157,152 - $155,661).

MarketWatch Thursday 11/10/11 6:53 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks Thursday recouped some of the prior session’s steep losses after the government reported jobless claims fell to a seven-month low and worries about Europe’s ability to handle its debt crisis abated. “We woke up and found the world didn’t come to an end,” said Art Hogan, head of product strategy, equity research at Lazard Capital Markets, referring to Wall Street’s dive on Wednesday. On Thursday, equities gained steam after Standard & Poor’s said it had not trimmed France’s debt rating, Italian bond yields fell from levels perceived as unsustainable, and Greece named a new leader. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley consider accounting changes that would bring them more in line with traditional banks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA ended up 112.85 points, or 1%, to 11,893.79. The final closing tally was slightly altered because a systems glitch at the New York Stock Exchange disrupted the release of trades and quotes in more than 100 listed stocks. Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO up 5.7%, led blue-chip gains that extended to 28 of the Dow’s 30 components. Cisco rallied a day after the networking-equipment maker reported profit and sales that topped analysts’ expectations. The S&P 500 Index rose 10.6 points, or 0.9%, to 1,239.70, with energy moving up the most and technology lagging among its 10 major sectors. After veering between gains and losses, the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP +0.13% closed up 3.5 points, or 0.1%, at 2,625.15. Weighing on the index, Apple Inc.’s AAPL -0.01% shares slid 2.6% on worries that the company might ship fewer iPad tablets this year because of supply issues. Some smaller growth stocks also got hammered. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. declined 39% after the coffee-machine maker late Wednesday reported disappointing fiscal fourth-quarter earnings. “It looks like some of the momentum stocks like Apple and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters are taking it on the chin,” added Hogan of the Nasdaq’s intraday retreat. For every stock falling, more than two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 897 million shares traded. On Wednesday, U.S. stocks fell more than 3%, beset by worries about Italy’s ability to service its debt. The Dow industrials lost almost 400 points, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite took their hardest single-day hit since late August. Wall Street began Thursday’s session on an upbeat note as Italian bond yields IT:10YR_ITA -0.08% retreated from the 7% level seen as unsustainable. An auction of Italian government bills went better than anticipated; Italian 10-year bond yields fell to 6.9%. Former European Commissioner Mario Monti appeared to be in line to replace Silvio Berlusconi as Italy’s prime minister and form a new government. Also, Greece’s main political parties agreed to participate in a coalition government headed by former European Central Bank Vice President Lucas Papademos. “Today we know who the prime minister of Greece is, and soon we hope to know who the prime minister of Italy is,” Hogan said. “We know it is costing Italy less than 7% to borrow money for less than 10 years. And we’ll see that 6% go to 5% pretty quickly if they pick a prime minister.” Also fueling optimism, the U.S. Labor Department reported the number of Americans filing initial claims for jobless benefits declined to its lowest level in seven months. Another report had the U.S. trade deficit narrowing in September to the lowest level this year as exports climbed to a record high.
