Post No. 1,420 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 January 1, 2012.

A read of the print editions of Friday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution and 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 12,471.02 up 21.57 or 0.17% from Wednesday's close of 12,449.45. For the year the Dow is up 2.07%. Of the 30 Dow components 22 gained and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $101.96 +2.32 2.33% 8,128,799 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $9.94 +0.31 3.22% 34,671,883NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $104.93 -2.84 2.64% 10,990,983 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Stocks manage to outrun poor data" by Brendan Conway says stocks eked out a gain as investors shrugged off 3 tepid readings on the state of the US economy to focus on the coming rush of corp earnings. Fin'l stocks which have been among the market's strongest performers this year pared early losses to finish with a gain ahead of JPMorgan's closely watched earnings report as JP Morgan was up 19 cents. Energy stocks were weak after Chevron warned its 4Q earnings will be significantly lower. Chevron fell 2.80.

Fin Times p22 "Chevron slides as 4Q earnings look set to disappoint" by Ajay Makan says Chevron fell 2.6% after the 2nd largest US energy firm said 4Q earnings would be significantly below 3Q results. Exxon fell as much as 1.7% but recovered to end the day down 0.4%. Bank of America topped $7 for the first time since Oct before slipping back for a fall of 1.2% for the day and JPMorgan climbed 0.5% ahead of earnings.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks turn up, snubbing bad news" by Paul Whitfield says stocks tossed aside negative economic news Thurs as the indexes reversed higher. Thursday's action was up in mixed trade as the current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB7 "Falling oil prices help buoy markets" by AP says a drop in oil prices & strong bond auctions in Europe drove stocks to a slight higher close Thurs.

USA Today p4B "Lower borrowing costs in Europe help boost US stocks" by Bloomberg says stocks rose Thurs sending the S&P 500 higher for a 4th day as a drop in borrowing costs at debt auctions in Europe overshadowed disappointing data on US jobless claims & retail sales.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.49 up from Thursday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.47 (year ago it was 14.88); today's P/E estimate is 11.92 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 11.92 (year ago it was 13.55), and Friday's dividend yield is 2.57 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.57 (last year it was 2.45). 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 1,647.78 up 2.84 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,644.94. 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 $54.93 up $0.10 from Wednesday's average closing price of $54.83. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.75 (DD/HD) up $0.37 from Wednesday's median closing price of $45.38. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.8 -0.10 0.17% 2,352,219 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.77 -0.10 1.46% 347,987,566 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 $284 (164,778 - $164,494).

MarketWatch Thursday 1/12/12 4:13 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished with modest gains Thursday, with the S&P 500 Index SPX +0.23% extending its winning run into a fourth session, as investors opted for optimism on Europe's troubles. "We've got this six-month window with all of this huge rollover of debt going on" in Europe, said Sandy Lincoln, chief market strategist at BMO Asset Management. "The market is breathing really shallowly until it gets additional metrix, not only corporate results but guidance," he added. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.17% rose 21.57 points, or 0.2%, to 12,471.02. The S&P 500 advanced 3.02 points, or 0.2%, to 1,295.50, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.51% gained 13.94 points, or 0.5%, to 2,724.70.
