Post No. 1,371 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 December 1, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,823.48 down 131.46 or 1.1% from Tuesday's close of 11,954.94. Of the 30 Dow components 5 gained, Verizon was unchanged and 24 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck MRK $35.56 +0.57 1.63% 22,542,285 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $87 -3.98 4.37% 13,565,385 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C16 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.93 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.00 (year ago it was 14.63); today's P/E estimate is 12.33 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.33 (year ago it was 13.34), and today's dividend yield is 2.64 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.63 (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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,562.23 down 16.65 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,579.59. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.07 down 0.58 from Tuesday's average closing price of $52.65. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.18 (DD/HD) down $0.32 from Tuesday's median closing price of $4150. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $78.51 -0.90 1.13% 4,202,132 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.23 -0.09 1.69% 226,379,573 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 lost $1,665 ($157,959 - $156,223).

MarketWatch Wednesday 12/14/11 4:37 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Wednesday closed lower for a third straight day as Wall Street worried about the toll of Europe’s debt struggles on the global economy, with investors also unloading gold and the euro. “It’s hard to be too optimistic right now because Europe looks like a mess,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial. Then, in the new year, investors will be faced with the U.S. presidential election, “which could be very contentious.” Setting off the day’s hand-wringing over Europe, Italy’s borrowing costs rose to a euro-era record at a bond auction, and the euro EURUSD +0.06% broke 11-month lows against the dollar. “Investors are taking profits in an unsettled market, and gold is one area where they do have profits built up,” Sheldon added. Meetings of top European leaders last week also “were encouraging, but it seems over the past few months every time [they] meet, they overpromise and under deliver,” he said. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.10% fell 131.46 points, or 1.1%, to 11,823.48, with 23 of its 30 components on the decline, led by heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. CAT -4.37% , off 4.4%. The S&P 500 Index SPX -1.14% declined 13.91 points, or 1.1%, at 1,211.82, with energy falling the hardest and health-care lagging the least among 10 S&P industry groups, all of which closed lower. The benchmark indexes have lost 3% to 4% this week. For every stock gaining more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 928.9 million shares traded hands, or about equal to the past 30 day’s average. NYSE Composite volume was 4.2 billion. The euro EURUSD +0.06% dropped under $1.30 for the first time in nearly a year and Italian borrowing costs rose to 6.47% at a $3.9 billion debt auction of 5-year bonds. Read more on the pullback in Europe’s shared currency. Gold futures fell sharply, with the contract for February delivery GC2G -0.72% losing $76.20 to end at $1,586.90 an ounce. Read more on acceleration of selling in gold. Investors were also reacting to central bank and political leader comments that have lowered the likelihood of more government stimulus soon. “Right now, Germany has strongly indicated against European Central Bank money-printing, and that has led investors to take profits on what has been a tremendous gold rally” over the years, said Sheldon at RDM Financial. Given “recent comments by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the ECB indicating a lack of new liquidity measures, investors see limited upside in gold over the near term.” The end-of-year liquidation moves extended to oil, with crude futures for January delivery CL2F +0.07% dropping $5.19, or 5.2%, to $94.95 a barrel.

The following are excerpts from Wed. morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday's 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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,954.94 down 66.45 or 0.55% from Monday's close of 12,021.39. For the year the Dow is up 3.26%. Of the 30 Dow components 7 gained, Boeing was unchanged and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $103.62 +0.55 0.53% 8,985,778 NYSE and percentage-wise was Pfizer PFE $20.76 +0.37 1.81% 69,086,442 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "US stocks fall after Fed statement" by Steve Russolillo says stocks dropped as Fed Res officials didn't take immediate actions to bolster the economy & retail sales data offered a disappointing view on the holiday shopping season. Alcoa led the Dow's losses down 31 cents. Caterpillar declined 2.26. Shares of DuPont dropped 42 cents as it provided an upbeat earnings & rev outlook for '12 after DuPont last week cut its profit forecast for the current year, noting demand has softened in some areas.

Fin Times p22 "Consumer stocks weighed down by disappointing Best Buy results" by Ajay Makan says US markets turned sharply lower after the Fed Res Open Market Committee left monetary policy unchanged.

NYT pB8 "Shares fall as the Fed Res warns of a strain" by AP says a late afternoon slide pulled stock indexes lower after the Fed held off on any new steps to help the economy. The Fed cautioned that strains in global fin'l markets still posed a danger, a nod to Europe's debt crisis.

USA Today p4B "Markets slip back afer Fed squelches hopes for QE3" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Tues while the dollar and Treasuries rallied, as the Fed refrained from taking more steps to stimulate the economy and concern grew that European leaders won't agree on ways to expand the region's bailout capacities.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,579.59 down 8.79 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,588.38. 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 $52.65 down 0.30 from Monday's average closing price of $52.95. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.50 (DD/HD) down $0.48 from Monday's median closing price of $41.98. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $55.93 +0.10 0.18% 4,826,953 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.32 -0.13 2.39% 226,354,883 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 $879 ($158,838 - $157,959).

MarketWatch Tuesday 12/13/11 4:32 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks tumbled Tuesday for a second session after the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged and declined to signal another round of quantitative easing.Seemingly “the only thing that could make investors happy today is if the Fed stood on the corner handing out paper money to people passing by,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank.“Investor attitudes are still pretty dour, people are too busy reading headlines and not looking at balance sheets,” he added.The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.55% fell 66.45 points, or 0.6%, to 11,954.94, with 21 of its 30 components falling.The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.87% fell 10.74 points, or 0.9%, to 1,225.73, with consumer discretionary the greatest laggard and utilities the sole sector rising among its 10 major industry groups.The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.26% fell 32.99 points, or 1.3%, to 2,579.27. For each stock rising more than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange.Volume was moderate. NYSE composite volume topped 4 billion.Equities tumbled after policy makers at the central bank said the U.S. economy managed to maintain growth even as the global economy slowed. The Fed said it would continue its trade of $400 billion of short-term debt with long-term securities to extend the average maturity of its holdings, but did not unveil any new stimulus program. Read more on the Fed’s statement.“The Fed is trying to be more transparent and the market doesn’t like it,” added Ablin of the market’s reaction to the Fed statement.U.S. economic reports of late have largely illustrated expansion, albeit at a lackluster pace, with the jobless rate falling to 8.6% in November and holiday shopping off to a good start.U.S. stock futures had maintained their gains ahead of the opening bell following government data that showed the nation’s retail sales climbing just 0.2% in November. “While weaker than expected, the year-over-year gain is still 6.2% excluding gasoline-station sales,” Miller Tabak equity strategist Peter Boockvar noted.“The U.S. economy has hung in pretty well of late,” he added. Also Tuesday, the Commerce Department reported that inventories at U.S. businesses rose 0.8% in October, with business sales up 0.7%.Separately, the Labor Department estimated job openings fell to 3.27 million in October from 3.38 million the month before.Before the Fed statement, stocks had scaled back their gains after German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected the idea of boosting the ceiling of the European Stability Mechanism, or the permanent rescue fund for the euro area. Analysts at Action Economics cited reports “that Germany’s Merkel has rejected raising the funding limits for the ESM bailout program” for equities’ lost momentum. But Boockvar said Merkel was merely repeating what she’s already said. “I want to remind everyone that she said this on Friday too” at the European Union summit, he emailed. Stocks had gained at the start after Spain sold 4.94 billion euros ($6.5 billion) in government debt, more than targeted, and investor confidence in Germany unexpectedly rose. “We were rallying on technicals, as we were oversold coming in today after yesterday,” said Ablin at Harris Private Bank of Monday’s session, which had the Dow industrials falling 162.87 points, or 1.3%.
