Post No. 1,348 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.

A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, 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 12,045.88 up 490.05 or 4.24% from Tuesday's close of 11,555.63. For the year the Dow is up 4.04%. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $97.88 +7.34 8.11% 13,072,388 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $30.97 +2.41 8.44% 61,407,077 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Investors go on the risk offensive" by Tom Lauricella says global efforts by central banks to ease stresses on the world's banks drove fin'l markets sharply higher & sent US stocks to their biggest gain since they emerged from the fin'l crisis. The rally touched virtually every corner of the fin'l markets from stocks to commodities to the euro, in a sign that at least for a day investors were prepared to abandon their recent defensive stance & bet on a resolution of the many problems plaguing developed economies. The Dow had its biggest day of gains since 3/23/09.

Fin Times p30 "Metals & mining to the fore in S&P 500's best day since summer" by Ajay Makan says the S&P had is best day since Aug as US investors applauded coordinated central bank action to inject dollar liquidity itno the global economy.

NYT pB1 "Stocks soar on Central Banks' move skeptics doubt a lasting rally" by Christine Hauser says a move announced by central bankers on Wed to contain the European debt crisis resulted in euphoria in global stock markets, but it also prompted skeptics to wonder if this time will be different.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks soar but few leaders hit highs" by David Saito-Chung says bulls gored the bears Wed as stocks rallied with gusto to close a nerve filled Nov. But the market still showed a relative scarcity of powerful breakouts & limited progress by leading stocks. If there ever was such a thing as a news driven market, Wed's session fit the bill as good US factory & jobs data, a tag team effort by major central banks to expand liquidity to cash thirsty banks, a surprise loosening of bank res requirements in China, & efforts to exapnd bailout funds in Europe spurred widespread buying.

USA Today p4B "Markets go up, up and away as banks fuel burst of buying" by Bloomberg says US stocks surged Wed driving the Dow up the most since Mar '09 after 6 central banks took action on Europe's debt crisis by making it cheaper for lenders to borrow in dollars. Fin'l shares rallied 6.6%, the biggest gains in the S&P among 10 groups. JPMorgan rose $2.41 & Bank of America advanced 37 cents. Caterpillar increased $7.34.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.03 up from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.50 (year ago it was 14.35); Thursday's P/E estimate is 11.55 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 11.55 (year ago it was 12.95), and today's dividend yield is 2.61 down from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.72 (last year it was 2.54). 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 1,591.61 up 64.77 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,526.84. 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 $53.05 up $2.16 from Tuesday's average closing price of $50.89. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.73 (DD/VZ) up $3.37 from Tuesday's median closing price of $39.36. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $76.6 +3.62 4.96% 5,307,921 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.44 +0.36 7.09% 436,243,405 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 $6,466 ($159,150 - $152,684).

MarketWatch Wednesday 11/30/11 6:01 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks rallied Wednesday, with the Dow industrials chalking up their best day in more than 2 ½ years, as the Federal Reserve and five other central banks moved to help banks hit by Europe’s debt crisis. “Everybody has ‘08 and ‘09 in the back of their head, this does give you more confidence that that scenario -- I can’t say it goes away, but is at least delayed,” said David Hefty, chief executive officer at Hefty Wealth Partners in Auburn, Ind. Central banks from developed nations took coordinated action to shore up the global financial system. The central banks are sending a message that they’ve identified the problem and that they are working together, he said. Such coordination could prevent a replay of the U.S. financial system’s near meltdown in 2008-2009. “The big deal is just saying they are going to be involved. It’s not like they brought out the tank, they brought out the six shooter,” he said.
Following up on October’s 9.5% rise with a 0.8% gain for November, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 490.05 points, or 4.2%, to 12,045.68, its first finish above 12,000 in two weeks and biggest jump since March 23, 2009.J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM -0.23% led the gains that included all 30 of the blue chip indexes components, up 8.4%.Capping its largest three-day percentage climb since March 12, 2009, the S&P 500 added 51.77 points, or 4.3%, to 1,246.96, its best day since Aug. 11 and leaving the index off 0.5% for the month.Financials surged the most among the S&P’s 10 industry groups.Marking its largest jump since Aug. 23, the Nasdaq Composite COMP +4.17% advanced 104.83 points, or 4.2%, to 2,620.34, down 2.4% from the end of October.Stock trading can reach a frenzied pace during the day, but 24-hour trading has never really taken off.For every stock that lost ground nearly seven gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 1.7 billion shares traded; composite volume neared 5.9 billion.”The markets are still fairly thinly traded, but the market volume is getting stronger, and on days when market is going up the volume has been higher,” said Hefty.The Federal Reserve and the central banks of the euro area, Canada, the U.K., Japan and Switzerland agreed to reduce the cost of offering dollar financing through swap arrangements.“Central banks moving ahead of the curve generally doesn’t happen, so it’s indicative of a troublesome environment” in Europe, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners.China said it would reduce the reserve requirement ratio for banks by 0.5 percentage point from Dec. 5.“The move by China to reduce the reserve requirements last night is interesting. It indicates they are getting a bit nervous,” Pavlik said.As has been the case of late, U.S. economic data took a back seat to events overseas.The ADP employment report found an increase of 206,000 jobs in November, the biggest jump since last December.“The ADP just indicates the economy is on somewhat firm ground,” Pavlik said.In its Beige Book survey released Wednesday afternoon, the Fed said the U.S. economy expanded at a moderate pace in all but one of its 12 districts. Read more on Fed’s Beige Book.The report bolstered the idea that the economy, while not in danger of lapsing into recession, is too weak to put much of a dent in the unemployment rate.“Europe is driving the market because the expectation here is continued slow growth, which is a positive, but also a given in the market,” said Hefty at Hefty Wealth Partners.
