Post No. 1,351 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 Friday at 12,020.03 down 25.65 or 0.21% from Thursday's close of 12,020.03. For the week the Dow is up 787.64 points or 7.01% from last Friday's close of 11,231.78. Of the 30 Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $32.5 +2.04 6.7% 84,706,695 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Johnson & Johnson JNJ $63.5 -0.95 1.47% 14,147,584 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $27.74 -0.48 1.7% 18,981,494 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 13.00 down from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.03 (year ago it was 14.49); Friday's P/E estimate is 11.55 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 11.55 (year ago it was 12.95), and today's dividend yield is 2.62 up from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.61 (last year it was 2.52). 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 1,588.11 down 0.09 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,588.20. 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 $52.94 unchanged from Thursday's average closing price of $52.94. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.48 (DD/VZ) down $0.05 from Thursday's median closing price of $42.53. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $76.54 -0.04 0.05% 4,565,595 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.66 +0.13 2.35% 268,914,398 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 $38 ($159,150 - 158,812).

MarketWatch Friday 12/2/11 3:43 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks edged up on Friday, with the Dow on track for its biggest weekly point jump in three years, as investors considered a drop in the U.S. jobless rate and Europe’s debt crisis.
After a sharp jump, stocks came off their highs as investors assessed the jobs report, said Bob Phillips, managing partner of Spectrum Management Group in Indianapolis. Next week, European Central Bank, Bank of England and Australia's central bank have monetary policy meetings. Markets will focus on Chinese and U.S. economic reports and Zynga's IPO roadshow, and Costco earnings.“It was initially viewed as very positive, but the job situation still isn’t resolved,” said Phillips, who added: “I view it as being a wash, not negative, not positive, but more of the mediocre results we’ve been getting the past couple of years.” The November jobs report confirms “the economy, at least in the United States, is doing better,” said Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.“The big wild card out there is Europe, not only the debt crisis, but that Europe is likely slipping into a recession, and how deep that is could affect the economy here,” Sorensen said.After a 100-point climb, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.0051% was lately up 14.11 points, or 0.1%, at 12,034.14, a level that has it up 802.36 points, or 7.2%, on the week, its largest weekly point gain since the week ending Oct. 31, 2008.The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index SPX -0.02% advanced 2.03 points, or 0.2%, to 1,246.62, with financials leading the gains and health care down the most among its 10 major sectors. The index was up 7.6% from last Friday’s close.Up 7.8% on the week, the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.03% climbed 4.78 points, or 0.2%, to 2,630.98.For every two stocks falling, three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 600 million shares had traded as of 3:30 p.m. The U.S. Labor Department reported nonfarm payrolls climbed by 120,000 in November and the jobless rate fell to 8.6% from 9%.
Investors are eagerly awaiting the meeting between the German and French leaders on Monday, the European Central Bank's monetary-policy meeting on Thursday, and the European Union summit on Friday. “We’re seeing a bit of onshoring, or manufacturing return to the United States from overseas, as companies realize they are not getting the cost savings and quality ..., but they are having trouble matching the skills to the jobs at this point. There are jobs out there to be found for people with skills,” said Sorensen. Phillips at Spectrum Management Group had a similar take.“I do think there’s an unfortunately growing mismatch between skill sets and what is needed,” said Phillips, who describes his client base as a lot of small business owners, many of them in manufacturing. Many of his clients want to hire, but are reluctant to take on the added expense of taking on and training employees when they feel the economy is still on shaky ground, Phillips said. “There’s plenty of money out there, it’s getting people confident to use it and companies to invest the money that is stacking up on their balance sheets,” said Sorensen at Schwab.
In Germany, Chancellor Merkel called Friday for quick treaty changes that would pave the way for closer fiscal union in the 17-nation euro area. Her comments come ahead of next week’s summit of European Union leaders. “Europe is going to be front and center again as they meet to talk about the integration next Thursday and Friday,” said Phillips.Sentiment was also helped by a Bloomberg News report that the European Central Bank was readying to loan as much as 200 billion euros ($270 billion) to the International Monetary Fund in an effort to ease the debt crisis.

AG sued five nat'l mortgage lenders for unlawful foreclosures. JPMorgan one of the targets fell 51 cents.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,588.20 down 3.41 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,591.61. 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 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.94 down $0.11 from Wednesday's average closing price of $53.05.

MarketWatch Thursday 12/1/11 4:43 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Thursday tilted lower after the prior day’s surge as Wall Street turned wary before Friday’s November jobs report and after claims for unemployment benefits rose last week. “It’s nice to consolidate some gains as it’s been such a huge week so far for the markets. Claims were okay, but back over 400,000 again, which cast a little bit of a shadow over what tomorrow’s report might bring,” said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial in Boston. U. .S. stocks fell slightly a day after a blowout rally, as U.S. jobless claims rose unexpectedly and China reported weak manufacturing data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 25.65 points, or 0.2%, to 12,020.03, with 20 of its 30 components losing ground. The S&P 500 Index shed 2.37 points , or 0.2%, at 1,244.59 with financial firms the heaviest weight and technology the best performing of its 10 major sectors.
The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 5.86 points, or 0.2%, to 2,626.20.
Shares of Yahoo Inc. rose 3.3% on reports that a private-equity backed group might make a bid for the search engine. Decliners remained just ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 856 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.8 billion. On Wednesday, composite volume on the Nyse neared 5.8 billion shares, the largest volume day since Oct. 27. “It was nice to see some conviction in a big day,” said Kleintop. Stocks rallied more than 4% Wednesday, which Kleintop noted was the 11th strongest day, volume-wise, in what has overall been a low-volume year. ‘We got the shock and today’s the aww, spelled a-w-w.’ The Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index on Thursday fell under 30 for a second day, signaling the level of market anxiety has declined, said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading at Charles Schwab. “This is a really low level for the VIX on a short-term basis,” in other words, in looking at the past four months, said Frederick, who believes Wednesday’s action by global central banks was “what the markets have been looking for.” The Institute for Supply Management’s factory index climbed to 52.7 in November from 50.8 the month before and the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits last week topped 400,000 after three weeks of coming in below that level. “The economic data in the U.S. continue to hang in well and hopefully it continues but we realistically can’t ignore the growing credit crunch in Europe as we enter 2012 and what spill over impact that will have on everyone else,” Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, wrote in emailed commentary. Spain and France sold 8.1 billion euros ($10.9 billion) in bonds Thursday, pushing yields down. Wall Street’s retreat on Thursday comes “in the context of a 500-point rally yesterday and as we’re staring into the face of the nonfarm payrolls number tomorrow, so investors are willing to sit on their hands for 24 hours,” said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners in Chicago. Read preview of jobs data. “We got the shock and today’s the aww, spelled a-w-w” said Nolte of the slide that followed the jump that came Wednesday after the Federal Reserve and five other central banks joined in lowering the cost for lenders to borrow in dollars. Wall Street’s surge Wednesday had the Dow industrials up nearly 500 points in its largest leap in more than two years after the central banks’ coordinated move.
