Post No. 1,408 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 12,415.70 down 2.72 or 0.02% from Wednesday's close of 12,418.42. For the year the Dow is up 1.62%. Of the 30 Dow components 11 gained and 19 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Travelers TRV $59.33 +0.58 0.99% 4,705,414 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.31 +0.50 8.61% 535,276,585 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $109.1 -1.08 0.98% 7,073,804 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Dow drops ball on first '12 fall" by Steve Russulillo says Boeing was the Dow's biggest decliner falling due to fresh worries over European banks. Bank of America pulled on the upside up 50 cents as it has gained 13% over the past 3 days.

Fin Times p22 "US oil refiners in sharp sell off amid collapsing margins at Tesoro" by Ajay Makan ssays US oil refiners sold off sharply after Tesoro said it could post a 4Q loss of up to 80 cents a share because of collapsing margins.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Leaders show life as volume picks up" by Paul Whitfield says stocks showed mixed but mostly good action Thursday as there still is a confirmed uptrend for the market.

NYT pB7 "Us shares rally & recover, bu the Euro falls again" by Bloomberg says the stock indexes in the US ended mixed on Thurs but banks and tech firms rallied and employment data bolstered optimism.

USA Today p4B 'Reassuring jobs data offset disappointing retail forecasts" by Bloomberg says stocks were mixed Thurs as a rally by banks and improving jobs data offset reducted profit forecasts at Target & JC Penney. JPMorgan was up 73 cents.

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 13.43 unchanged from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.43 (year ago it was 14.91); today's P/E estimate is 12.49 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.49 (year ago it was 13.65), and today's dividend yield is 2.58 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.58 (last year it was 2.46). 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 1,640.47 down 0.26 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,640.83. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.68 down $0.01 from Wednesday's average closing price of $54.69. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $44.88 (DD/HD) up $0.55 from Wednesday's median closing price of $44.88. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $83.8 -0.38 0.45% 3,101,750 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.31 +0.50 8.61% 535,276,585 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 lost $27 ($164,084 164,047).

MarketWatch Thursday 1/5/12 4:55 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks reverted to gains Thursday, with banks leading the rise that had the S&P 500 extending its advance into a third day, as an improving labor market curtailed concern about Europe. “Markets have comeback for the most part, the ADP employment number was pretty robust, although there were seasonal things in there as well, and jobless claims were in line to modestly better,” said Stephen Carl, a floor trader for the Williams Capital Group. “We’re still contemplating overseas, or the financial situation in Europe,” Carl added. Helping the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.02% recover from a 134-point deficit, Bank of America Corp. BAC -2.38% rallied 8.6% after Deutsche Bank AG reiterated a positive view of banks, saying fourth-quarter results should yield some hopeful signs. Speculation the White House might unveil a new nationwide loan refinancing plan was also in play, sparked in part by a note from Jaret Seiberg, a policy analyst at the Washington Research Group, in which he postured President Barack Obama might place a housing advocate at the Federal Housing Finance Agency.The Dow industrials finished down 2.72 points at 12,415.70. Blue-chip decliners included Boeing Co. BA -1.08% after the plane manufacturer said it fell behind schedule and did not deliver as many 787 Dreamliner and 747-8 jumbo jets as planned last year. Investor nerves are still frayed in spite of respectable, but cautious, auction results from Germany and France, while discussions over Greek haircuts continue. Extending gains into a third day, the S&P 500 SPX +0.29% rose 3.76 points, or 0.3%, to 1,281.06, with financials faring best and energy the greatest laggard among its 10 major industry groups. SunTrust Banks Inc. STI +5.36% gained 5.4% and JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM -1.55% gained 2.1%. Both were tabbed as ‘top picks’ among lenders by Deutsche Bank. Among the index’s notable risers, Monsanto Co.’s MON +5.52% shares gained more than 5% after the seed producer hiked its outlook for the full fiscal year as it reported first-quarter results. Off the S&P 500, Barnes & Noble Inc. BKS -17.05% shares fell 17% after the book seller reduced its profit outlook and said it might separate its electronic and reader business from its physical stores. Barnes & Noble’s Nook reader vies with Amazon.com Inc.’s AMZN +0.01% Kindle and Apple Inc.’s AAPL -0.01% iPad. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.81% rose 21.5 points, or 0.8%, to 2,669.86. For every two stocks that fell three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where nearly 829 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 4.3.billion, in line with 2011’s daily average. Crude-oil futures CL2G -1.71% finished the floor session at $101.81 a barrel, down $1.41, or 1.4%, relinquishing its gain in the final hour of trade after the Energy Department reported inventories climbed last week. “We’re in a tug of war between the belief the U.S. economy is hanging in on one side and the turmoil in Europe and the ripple effects it will likely have everywhere on the other,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. U.S. economic data out Thursday included ADP Employer Services reporting a 325,000 increase in private payrolls last month, an increase much better than anticipated. Read more on ADP data. Figures from the Labor Department showed initial applications for jobless benefits falling 15,000 to 372,000 last week. And, the Institute for Supply Management’s index of nonmanufacturing sectors climbed to 52.6% in December. The reports come ahead of Friday’s report on U.S. nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate for December from the Labor Department. Overseas, European banks came under pressure on concern about their capital-raising abilities, sending the euro EURUSD -1.19% to a 15-month low against the dollar — and an 11-year low against Japan’s yen EURJPY -0.61%. France sold 10-year bonds at an average yield of 3.29% and Hungary’s one-year bill yield rose to a multi-year high.
