Post No. 1,397 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 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 12,287.04 up 135.63 or 1.12% from Wednesday's close of 12,151.41. For the year the Dow is up 6.13%. 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.

WSJ pC4 "Dow up 135.63; gold recedes" by Brendan Conway says stocks gained and gold fell in '11's second to last trading session as investors wee heartened by data showing a modest improvement in the US housing & employment sectors. Just 2.25 bil shares changed hands in NYSE composite trading volume compared to average volume of 4.27 volume. Home Depot rose 48 cents. Bank of America led the Dow rising 17 cents and JPMorgan was up 77 cents.

Fin Times p18 "Fin'ls enjoy rebound as stocks shrug off increase in jobless claims" by Ajay Makan says Wall St brushed off a rise in US jobless claims to record solid gains yesterday as fin'l stocks bounced off a difficult previous session.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks up in slow trade; leaders quiet" by Paul Whitfield says stocks coasted Thur toward the '11 finish line on the eve of the final session as the market was up in declining volume as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB6 "Promising signs in job growth and home sales lift shares" by AP says better news on home sales and improved prospects for job growth sent stocks higher.

USA Today p4B "Stocks rebound with upswing as trading eyar nears an end" by Bloomberg says stocks rose Thurs, restoring the '11 gain in the S&P as data signaled the world's largest economy is weathering Europe's debt crisis.

As of the open of the market Thursday, 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 13.29 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.14 (year ago it was 14.75); Friday's P/E estimate is 12.37 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.37 (year ago it was 13.54), and Friday's dividend yield is 2.59 down from Thursday'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.

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. 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.
