Post No. 1,396 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 Thursday at 12,287.04 up 135.63 or 1.12% from Wednesday's close of 12,151.41. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $186.18 +2.19 1.19% 2,941,490 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $5.46 +0.175 3.31% 167,605,521 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.14 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.29 (year ago it was 14.77); Thursday's P/E estimate is 12.37 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.37 (year ago it was 13.54), and Thursday's dividend yield is 2.62 up from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.59 (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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,623.48 up 17.928.61 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,605.56. 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 $54.12 up $0.60 from Wednesday's average closing price of $53.52. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.93 (DD/HD) up $0.43 from Wednesday's median closing price of $43.50. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.68 +0.82 1.39% 1,579,099 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.46 +0.175 3.31% 167,605,521 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 $1,792 ($162,348 - $160,556).

MarketWatch Thursday 12/29/11 4:32 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks climbed Thursday, lifting the S&P 500 back into positive turf for the year, after a report illustrating the U.S. labor market is healing as 2012 approaches. Data from the Labor Department had U.S. jobless claims came in at 381,000, up from 366,000 the prior week. But the four-week moving average fell to 375,000 last week, with fewer Americans filing for jobless benefits during the past month than at any time in the past three years. Read more about jobless claims. A last-minute surge of deal-seeking shoppers delivered better-than-expected holiday sales as nervous retailers lured latecomers with extended hours and steep discounts. “This is the fourth week that claims have held below 400,000, which is considered a break-even point in job creation,” said Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos. Recouping nearly all of the prior day’s 140-point fall, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.12% closed at 12,287.04, up 135.63 points, or 1.1%. All 30 of its components gained, with the blue chips up 6.1% for 2011, with one session to go. Up 0.4% for the year, the S&P 500 Index SPX +1.07% rose 13.38 points, or 1.1%, to 1,263.02, with financial firms pacing gains that including all 10 of its major industry groups.The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.92% gained 23.76 points, or 0.9%, to 2,613.74. With one session left for 2011, the index is off 1.5% from the end of 2010. For every stock that fell, nearly four gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where a paltry 352 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 2.3 billion. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude-oil futures CL2G +0.15% finished at $99.65 a barrel, up 29 cents, or 0.3%. Gold futures GC2G +0.51% fell for a sixth session, losing $23.20, or 1.5%, to end at $1,540.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the Nymex. Read more about gold’s descent. The National Association of Realtors reported the number of Americans signing contracts to purchase previously owned homes climbed a far-more-than forecast 7.3% in November.
Overseas, Italy sold 7.02 billion euros, or $9 billion, of bonds, less than targeted, as borrowing costs fell in the nation’s last debt auction of 2011.
“There are no signs of new investment positions heading into year end, and that means we are not likely to get an exciting finish to 2011,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald. “The fact is, investors are writing off 2011,” said Pado, noting the S&P looked to be ending the year flat, with the Dow up and Nasdaq down. “If European news can stay out of the way, investors can focus on earnings next month, but that’s a tall order,” he said. On Wednesday, worries about Europe’s debt crisis had U.S. stocks closing with sharp losses, erasing the S&P 500’s small rise for the year and retreating back below its 200-day moving average.
Next Friday brings the government’s payrolls report for December, with the data viewed as the next key hurdle for equities, at least on the domestic front.

The following are excerpts from Thursday morning's Blog.

A read of the print edition of Thursday's Wall St. Journal 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 12,151.41 down 139.94 or 1.14% from Tuesday's close of 12,291.35. For the year the Dow is up 5%. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $89.37 -2.18 2.38% 5,238,521 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $5.285 -0.195 3.56% 145,680,615 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Unease on Italy ruffles markets" by Jonathan Cehng says the market's holiday from Europe's troubles lasted just a week as concerns about the health of the euro drove the euro to a 14 month low and sent the S&P into negative territory for the year. The Dow had its worst loss in 2 weeks. Bank of America was the worst performer of the day falling 20 cents or 3.6% to $5.29 to bring its slide for the year to 60%.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,605.56 down 18.61 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,624.05. 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 $53.52 down $0.61 from Tuesday's average closing price of $54.13. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $43.50 (DD/HD) down $0.73 from Tuesday's median closing price of $44.23. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $58.86 -0.67 1.13% 1,719,645 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.285 -0.195 3.56% 145,680,615 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 $1,861 ($162,417 - $160,556).

MarketWatch Wednesday 12/28/11 4:33 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks suffered significant losses Wednesday, with the S&P 500 retreating to the loss column for 2011, on concern about Italy’s next auction of government debt. “Italy did have a decent short-term auction today, and markets responded neutrally to reasonably well to that, but what is causing market participants greater concern is the longer-term sale tomorrow,” said Mike McGervey, president of McGervey Wealth Management in North Canton, Ohio. “It doesn’t take a whole lot to push prices around when we see volume this light, whether stocks or currencies,” McGervey added of the thin volumes in the holiday-shortened trading week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.14% fell 139.94 points, or 1.1%, to 12,151.41 with all of its 30 components ending in the red. The Dow held a 5% gain for the year, with two sessions remaining. “It has to do with the more defensive nature of some of the Dow stocks,” said McGervey. “Some of the industrials have benefited from modest signs of growth, and a lot of people look at those giants as larger dividend paying stocks.” Back in negative terrain for 2011, the S&P 500 Index SPX -1.25% shed 15.79 points, or 1.3%, to 1,249.64, with natural-resource and energy shares hardest hit among its 10 major industry groups. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.34% declined 35.22 points, or 1.3%, to 2,589.98, leaving the index in the red by 2.4% for the year. “Volume is pretty light, or virtually nonexistent, so it doesn’t take much,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in San Francisco. For every stock rising four fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a tepid 542 million. Composite volume topped 2.3 billion. Crude futures fell $1.98 to $99.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with Saudi Arabia saying it would counter any drop in oil supplies should Iran follow through on its threat to block a key tanker route in the Middle East. Gold prices also fell, with the futures contract for February delivery down $31.40 to end at $1,564.10 an ounce. Retail sales are among the factors supportive of a “modest economic growth story” in the United States,” said McGervey of the International Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs report that sales at U.S. retailers climbed 4.5% last week from a year ago. Moreover, he noted, “corporate profits have certainly done their fair share of keeping things together, any sign of top-line growth is going to push corporations very solidly into the black, and hopefully that will be the tailwind of the next move in prices, but the headwind is the whole European story, and it’s a strong headwind.” The ECB said that its lending to euro-area banks leapt last week as the Frankfurt-based ECB strived to keep credit moving amidst the region’s debt crisis. Read more on the session for Italian stocks and investors’ reactions to Italian debt auction. Italy’s 10-year note yield rose, lately at 6.973%. Most analysts regard the 7% level as unsustainable for the euro-area’s third largest economy. The euro EURUSD -.00% fell to 1.2937 against the U.S. dollar. Italy’s short-term debt costs fell at auction, boosted by the government’s recent austerity plan and inexpensive liquidity from the European Central Bank. But Wednesday sale by Italy of 9 billion euros, or $11.8 billion, of six-month bills was viewed as less of a hurdle than Thursday’s planned sale of as much as 8.5 billion euros in longer-maturity debt. The “risk-off” trade is disappointing, given Italy’s sale of short-term debt on Wednesday seemed “well-received,” Luschini said. But, “it could be in anticipation of a rougher day tomorrow.” Luschini added of Thursday’s sale of longer-dated Italian debt.
