Post No. 1,379 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 Monday at 11,766.26 down 100.13 or 0.84% from Friday's close of 11,866.39. Of the 30 Dow components 3 gained and 27 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck MRK $36.47 +0.22 0.61% 16,500,302 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $99.72 -1.14 1.13% 5,976,311 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.84 unchanged from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.84 (year ago it was 14.65); Monday's P/E estimate is 12.20 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.33 (year ago it was 13.43), and Monday's dividend yield is 2.68 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.69 (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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,554.67 down 13.23
from Friday's closing numerator of 1,567.90. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.82 down 0.44 from Friday's average closing price of $52.26. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.72 (DD/HD) down $0.48 from Friday's median closing price of $42.20. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $56.71 -0.57 1% 4,020,538 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $4.985 -0.215 4.13% 343,393,704 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $1,323 ($156,790 - $155,467).

MarketWatch Monday 12/19/11 5:44 pm by Laura Mandaro says US stocks closed about 1% lower Monday, deepening losses as separate comments from the head of the European Central Bank and the region’s finance ministers lacked the heft or details deemed necessary to curtail the region’s debt crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.84% ended down 100.13 points, or 0.8%, at 11,766.26. A 4.1% drop in Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.50% shares to under $5 led declines for all but three of the index’s 30 components. Stocks turned lower midmorning after ECB President Mario Draghi undercut hopes that the central bank would be more aggressive in helping struggling countries by expanding its bond purchases, noting its governing treaty “forbids monetary financing.” The comments “put more nails in the proverbial coffin of having the European Central Bank step in as the lender of last resort,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. That’s disappointing to investors who view ECB purchases of debt issued by European countries nearly squeezed out of the bond market as an important tool in ending the sovereign-debt crisis. “That’s one solution seemingly removed,” noted Luschini.
Losses doubled in the last hour of trading after a statement from European Union finance ministers, who met by telephone, said euro-currency members had agreed on providing additional bailout funding via the International Monetary Fund.
But the added resources -- 150 billion euros, or $196 billion -- fell short of the 200 billion euros proposed at the Dec. 9 EU leaders’ summit. “Investors wanted a larger amount,” said Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. Also the statement lacked a firm statement of contribution from some EU nations outside the currency bloc, including the United Kingdom, a financial heavyweight. Read MarketWatch First Take on the U.K.'s balking at IMF loans. Bank stocks were hit particularly hard, also weighed by a report in The Wall Street Journal saying the Federal Reserve is expected to embrace a new global framework that requires giant financial institutions to hold extra capital, a defeat for giant U.S. banks. Read more on big-bank capital rules and also more on Fed’s expected moves at WSJ.com. The S&P 500 financial subsector, down more than 2%, led losses for all 10 S&P 500 industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -1.26% dropped 32.19 points, or 1.3%, to 2,523.14. Wall Street‘s benchmark indexes lost more than 2% lower last week, as investors characterized the most recent European Union summit — the highly anticipated Dec. 9 event that resulted in an agreement to forge a tighter fiscal union — as doing too little to help debt-burdened euro-zone members in the short term. On Friday, early gains evaporated after Fitch Ratings cut France’s outlook to negative and warned of possible downgrades for six European countries. “The U.S. stock market remains highly correlated with the direction of European news flow,” said Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos.
Europe markets shed the bulk of gains after the Draghi speech, with Stoxx Europe 600 index XX:SXXP +0.02% closing up 0.04 point at 233.75. In France, the CAC 40 index FR:PX1 +0.06% added 1.9 point at 2,974.20. Asia markets slumped Monday after reports of the death of North Korea’s Kim Jong-il. The region is likely to see increased focus in coming days and weeks amid concerns about stability in the country and region. Within commodities, futures for January crude CL2F +0.59% veered between minor gains and losses, rising 35 cents to close up to $93.88 a barrel. February gold GC2G -0.12% ended down $1.20 at $1,596.70 an ounce. The dollar rose against most major currencies, adding to gains after the EU statement. The dollar index DXY +0.29% , which measures the dollar against a basket of six currencies, rose to 80.372, up fractionally from 80.216 late Friday.

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's Daily, The Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 11,866.39 down 2.42 or 0.02% from Thursday's close of 11,868.81. For the week the Dow is down 317.87 points or 2.61% from last Friday's close of 12,184.26. For the year the is up 2.50%. Of the 30 Dow components 22 gained and 23 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $100.86 +1.19 1.19% 12,444,034 NYSE and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $26 +0.44 1.72% 87,077,599 NASDAQ-GS NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM $183.57 -3.91 2.09% 11,509,086 NYSE.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks give back most of early advance" by Paul Whitfield says stocks finished low in the day's range Friday, giving up most of what had been ample gains. Volume rose sharply, But Friday was a quadruple witching session, which routinely boosts trade. The market remains in a correction, and any stock purchase remains risky. IBM was a a leader that was down in volume. Economic news was thin Friday as the Labor Dept released a mixed report on consumer prices. The data showed less inflation than expected, but the core rate had more of a pric pop than estimated. This wasn't the sort of news that fires up the Street. Some attributed the early stock gains to news that Washington would avoid a government shutdown.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,567.90 down 0.32 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,568.22. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.26 down 0.01 from Thursday's average closing price of $52.27. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.20 (DD/HD) up $0.79 from Thursday's median closing price of $41.41. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $78.87 +0.01 0.01% 6,153,730 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5. -0.06 1.14% 222,242,907 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 lost $32 ($156,822 - $156,790).

MarketWatch Frisday 12/16/11 4:11 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Friday finished with weekly losses after a rating agency warning on Europe pulled the plug on what began as an upbeat session on a confidence vote in Italy. "Europe continues to dominate," said Michael Gibbs, director of equity strategy at Morgan Keegan. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.02% fell 2.42 points, or less than 0.1%, to 11,866.39, leaving it down 2.6% from last Friday's close. The S&P 500 SPX +0.32% added 3.89 points, or 0.3%, to 1,219.65. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.56% climbed 14.32 points, or 0.6%, to 2,555.33.
