Post No. 1,387 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 12,1294 up 124.35 or 1.02% from Thursday's close of 12,169.65. For the week the Dow is up 427.61 or 3.7% from last Friday's close of 11,866.39. Of the 30 Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $184.75 +2.71 1.49% 3,049,365 NYSE nd percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $5.6 +0.13 2.38% 189,715,929 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Alcoa AA $8.86 -0.045 0.51% 18,545,012 NYSE and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $73.97 -0.32 0.43% 3,575,493 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.10 (year ago it was 14.74); today's P/E estimate is unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.20 (year ago it was 13.43), and today's dividend yield is 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,624.40 up 16.438.18 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,607.97. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.15 up $0.55 from Thursday's average closing price of $53.60. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44/13 (DD/HD) up $0.38 from Thursday's median closing price of $43.75. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.35 +0.16 0.27% 1,848,064 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.6 +0.13 2.38% 189,715,929 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 made $1,643 ($162,440 - $160,797).

MarketWatch Thursday 12/23/11 4:30 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks on Friday rallied to their third weekly gain in four after Congress approved a tax-cut extension and orders for durable goods in November climbed the most in four months. “An early Christmas has descended on the economy in the form of better numbers and a two-month extension of the payroll-tax cut,” Kevin Giddis, fixed-income strategist at Morgan Keegan, wrote in emailed commentary. Up 3.6% on the week and 6.2% for 2011 so far, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.02% added 124.35 points, or 1%, to 12,294, with 28 of its 30 components rising. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.90% added 11.33 points, or 0.9%, to 1,265.33 with consumer discretionary leading gains that included all of its 10 major sectors. The index finished 3.7% ahead of last Friday’s close and 0.6% higher than it stood at the end of 2010. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.74% advanced 19.19 points, or 0.7%, to 2,618.64, leaving it up 2.5% for the week but off 1.3% for 2011. For every stock that lost ground more than two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where not quite 478 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 2.2 billion. “Keep in mind that trading volume is light and directional moves, as a result, might be a bit exaggerated, but investors appear to be voting with sell tickets for Treasurys and buy tickets for riskier assets like stocks, anticipating that in 2012, the economy will do better, even if it is by just a little,” noted Giddis. Treasury prices fell, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR +4.10% used in determining mortgage rates and other consumer loans rising to 2.027%. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude-oil futures CL2G +0.31% rose 15 cents to finish at $99.68 a barrel and gold futures GC2G -0.14% fell $4.60 to end at $1,606.00 an ounce. The contracts finished early Friday and stay shut on Monday due to the Christmas holiday. In Washington, Congress approved a two-month payroll tax cut extension a day after Republicans in the House gave way to President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans on the issue. The Commerce Department on Friday said orders for long-lasting goods climbed 3.8% in November, while consumer spending climbed 0.1% last month. A third report had new-home sales for November rising 1.6% to a seven-month high.

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

A read of the print editions of Friday'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 Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,169.65 up 61.91 or 0.51% from Wednesday's close of 12,107.74. For the year the Dow is up 5.11%. Of the 30 Dow components 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Exxon XOM $84.29 +1.17 1.41% 19,614,443 NYSE nd percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $5.47 +0.24 4.59% 299,783,581 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $98.6 -0.60 0.6% 4,608,356 NYSE.

Fin Times p24 "Chip companies strengthen after analyst says sector has bottomed" by Ajay Makan says semiconductor stocks surged on Thurs after Wedbush Securities called a bottom for computer memory chips. Exxon climbed for the second day running as it finished 1.4% higher as US crude ol hit $100 a barrel. Mead Johnson fell 10.1% after Walmart withdrew its Enfamil Newborn powder from its 3,000 stores due to a baby's death.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks notch gains in dwindling rade" Paul Whitfield says stocks advanced Thurs but 3 negative factors undercut positive price action; volume was low, laggards industry groups showed the biggest gains and breakouts among top rated stocks were non-existent. The action was up in lower volume as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB7 "Markets push toward a positive year end" by Reuters says stocks rose on Thurs putting the S&P on the cusp of finishing the year higher as another decline in jobless claims pointed to further improvement in the labor market.

USA Today p4B "Stocks rise on lower jobless claims, stronger confidence" by Bloomberg says stocks rose Thurs sending the S&P index higher for a 3rd session as better than estimated jobless claims consume confidence & leading indicators bolstered optimism in the world's largest economy.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,607.97 up 8.18 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,599.79. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.60 up $0.28 from Wednesday's average closing price of $53.33. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.75 (DD/HD) up $0.16 from Wednesday's median closing price of $43.59. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.19 +0.10 0.17% 3,038,337 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.47 +0.24 4.59% 299,783,581 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $818 ($160,797).

MarketWatch Thursday 12/22/11 4:08 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks ended higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.51% and the S&P 500 SPX +0.83% rising for a third day, after a report signaled an improving labor market going into a new year. The Dow industrials gained 61.91 points, or 0.5%, to end at 12,169.65, leaving it up 5.1% for 2011, with five sessions remaining in the year. The S&P added 10.28 points, or 0.8%, to 1,254, off 0.3% from the end of 2010, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.83% rose 21.48 points, or 0.8%, to 2,599.45, down 2% for the not-yet-ended year.
