Post No. 1,384 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.

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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,107.74 up 4.16 or 0.03% from Tuesday's close of 12,103.58. For the year the Dow is up 4.58%. Of the 30 Dow components 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $105.43 +1.76 1.7% 8,154,082 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was IBM $181.47 -5.77 3.08% 9,272,017 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Dow stages afternoon rally" by Jon cheng says US stocks battled back from intraday losses to add to the prior day's powerful gains as investors scrutinized a new European lending facility for eurozone banks and shrugged off some earnings disappointments. Tech stocks were the only secgtor to fall Wed due to disappointing earnings from Oracle. IBM fell $5.77, Cisco fell 48 cents and Hewlett-Packard fell 47 cents. On the upside were defensive sectors as investors sought safety in utilities, consumer staples and health care firms. Coke rose $1.17, Kraft added 44 cents and Pfizer gained 22 cents.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Nasdaq sinks by NYSE, S&P rally" by David Saito-Chung says stocks ended mixed Wed as Oracle led tech stocks lower. Broade indexes inched higher.Wed's action was mixed in higher volume while the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB9 "A mixed finish, led by a decline in ech shares" by AP says tech stocks fell on Wed, dragged down by a rare weak earnings report from the business sofware maker Oracle.

Fin Times p24 "Research in Motion bucks falling tech trend as Oracle drags on sector" by Ajay Makan says an earnings miss by Oracle sent software stocks tumbling on fears that large business customers are taking longer to close orders.

USA Today p4B "Europe, Oracle hit stocks early, but late rally eases pain" by Bloomberg says stocks were mixed Wed as gains in energy & consumer shares helped the market recover from an early drop led by disappointing results at Oracle. Exxon gained $1.12 after oil rose for a third day as US inventories declined the most in a decade.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.10 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.09 (year ago it was 14.74); today's P/E estimate is 12.20 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.20 (year ago it was 13.43), and today's dividend yield is 2.62 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.62 (last year it was 2.48). 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 1,599.79 up 7.75 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,592.24. 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 $53.33 up $0.02 from Tuesday's average closing price of $53.31. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.59 (DD/HD) up $0.57 from Tuesday's median closing price of $43.02. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.09 +0.94 1.62% 2,926,268 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.23 +0.06 1.16% 203,204,242 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 $775 ($159,930 - $159,979).

MarketWatch Wednesday 12/21/11 5:50 pm by Laura Mandaro & Kate Gibson says US stocks swung to a slightly higher close Wednesday, boosted by a bounce from some technical levels and late-breaking reports on Yahoo Inc. and Bank of America Corp. The Nasdaq Composite, however, ended the day lower, weighed by unease over Oracle Corp. ORCL +0.12% earnings that hit the tech sector. Gains for the other benchmarks were also limited by worries about the consequences of the European Central Bank’s recent lending program. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 4.16 points, or 0.03%, at 12,107.74 points after falling as much as 104 points at midday and spending most of the session lower. The S&P 500 SPX +0.20% ended up 2.42 points, or 0.2%, at 1,243.72, with technology the only one of the index’s 10 sectors to end lower. U.S. stocks started to cut their losses in the last hour of trading as both Bank of America Corp. and Yahoo Inc. shares made a sharp reversal higher. Late in the session, the Justice Department announced a $335 million settlement with B. of A. over alleged discriminatory lending practices by its Countrywide Financial Corp. unit, putting an end to one legal issue hanging over the company. B. of. A. ended 1.2% higher. Also, the Wall Street Journal reported on its website that Yahoo is discussing a plan to cut its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. to about 15% from 40% as part of a tax-free transaction valued at between $17 billion and $18 billion. Yahoo shares ended 5.8% higher. Besides the bank settlement and Yahoo news, some technical actions likely supported gains, said Stifel Nicolaus option/market strategist Elliot Spar. “It’s a really good step in restoring the health of banks in Europe, but the one piece that is missing is time. That’s why the market is down; it’s not going to lead to them [European banks] to buying sovereign debt, making loans or help the economy of Europe for quite some time,” said Hugh Johnson, chairman of Hugh Johnson Advisors in Albany, N.Y. The ECB loaned 489 billion euros, or $639 billion, to 523 banks for three years — the biggest such injection into the banking system in the 13-year history of the region’s shared currency. On Tuesday, equities rallied on upbeat economic news from Europe and a jump in new-home construction in the United States, with the Dow rising 337 points, its best performance so far this month. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.99% shed 25.76 points, or 1%, to 2,577.97. Oracle’s results late Tuesday underlined concern that big business and government bodies were cutting back on technology expenditures. Shares of the business-software provider ended down 12%, its biggest drop in nearly a decade. “Oracle is clearly not good news; it’s not good news for Oracle and it’s not good news for technology. The sector has not been performing well, period, on a relative basis,” said Johnson Advisors’ Johnson. “Everybody might think this is a one-time, back-end loaded miss, but it may be a sign of more difficult times ahead for technology companies,” noted Johnson. Advancers nearly doubled decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where 824 million shares traded hands. BAC 5.21, -0.02, -0.38% B. of. A. shares bounce higher. “The S&P at its worst today only gave back 1% of yesterday’s gain,” while the New York Stock Exchange advancers/decliners turned positive around 3 p.m. Eastern, he noted. “Markets clawed their way back simply from a deeply oversold condition,” said Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisors. “The sellers are tired and gone on vacation,” he said. Stocks had spent most of the session in the red following the European Central Bank’s offer to lend a record amount to euro-area banks.
Hope that came with the ECB’s loan plan faded on worries that it would not increase lending between banks nor reduce the huge debt burdens of European governments.
