Post No. 1,452 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' recent SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,716.46 up 83.55 or 0.66% from Tuesday's close of 12,632.91. Of the 30 Dow components 25 gained and 5 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies UTX $80.22 +1.87 2.39% 6,662,206 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $7.35 +0.22 3.09% 307,745,991 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise Chevron CVX $102.77 -0.35 0.34% 7,191,409 NYSE and percentage-wise was Pfizer PFE $21.275 -0.125 0.58% 42,300,006 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.99 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.01 (year ago it was 14.50); today's P/E estimate is 12.15 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.63), and today's dividend yield is 2.54 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.53 (last year it was 2.42). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,680.22 up 11.04 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,669.18. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.08 up $0.44 from Tuesday's average closing price of $55.64. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.55 (AXP/HD) up $0.24 from Tuesday's median closing price of $47.31. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.59.24 +0.94 1.61% 3,417,071 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.35 +0.22 3.09% 307,745,991 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 made $1,104 ($168,022 - $166,918).

MarketWatch Wednesday 2/1/12 4:23 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks Wednesday rallied to start the month, breaking a string of recent session losses, as manufacturing data in China and Europe overrode any disappointment from below consensus U.S. data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.66% gained 83.55 points, or 0.7%, to 12,716.46, its first gain in five sessions. The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.89% rose 11.68 points, or 0.9%, to 1,324.09, also breaking a four-day loss streak. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.22% gained 34.43 points, or 1.2%, to 2,848.27. The U.S. indexes rose more than 3% in January, their best January in over a decade.

******************************
The following are excerpts from Wednesday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday'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 Tuesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,632.91 down 20.81 or 0.16% from Monday's close of 12,665.72. For the year the Dow is up 3.4%. Of the 30 Dow components 14 gained and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was United Technologies UTX $78.35 +0.74 0.95% 5,886,035 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $37.39 +0.38 1.03% 24,267,954 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Exxon XOM $83.879- 1.611 1.88% 23,552,039 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 stocks fall but shine for Jan" by Chris Dieterich says a disappointing round of economic data weighed on stocks but major indexes still posted the largest Jan gains in 15 years. Exxon fell $1.75 leading the Dow lower after reporting its 4Q earnings edged up 1.6% in line with estimates. Still margin declined in 4Q due to rising oil prices and tepid fuel demand. Pfizer fell 18 cents after it reported 4Q earnings and rev that topped expectations while lowering its '12 earnings outlook slightly to reflect unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates.

Fin times p24 "Weak house price numbers put US homebuilders under pressure" by Ajay Makan says US stocks defied European trends for a 2nd straight day falling on poor US economic data after global indices had rallied on enthusiasm for a eurozone fiscal discipline pact brokered by Germany. Banks bucked the falling market, helped by improving eurozone sentiment. Bank of America rose 0.9%

NYT pB9 "equities end a strong month on a mixed note" by Reuters says Wall St closed a strong month narrowly mixed on Tues as weaker thane expected economic reports surprised investors after a stream of positive data in recent months. Results from Pfizer & Lilly both topped expectations but Pfizer trimmed its '12 outlook and it dipped 0.8%.

USA Today p4B "Falling consumer confidence leaves investors a bit cold" by Bloomberg says the S&P capped its longest losing streak since Nov on Tues as reports showed consumer confidence trailed economists' projections & business activity cooled.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,669.18 down 2.75 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,671.93. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $55.64 down $0.09 from Monday's average closing price of $55.73. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.31 (AXP/HD) up $0.36 from Monday's median closing price of $46.95. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $58.3 +0.19 0.33% 2,735,620 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.135 +0.065 0.92% 196,897,661 NYSE.

If Tuesday 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 $275 ($167,193 - $166,918).

MarketWatch Tuesday 1/31/12 4:10 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Tuesday closed the books on Wall Street's best January in more than a decade, with the indexes mostly slipping after U.S. economic data failed to live up to its billing. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.16% and the S&P 500 SPX -0.05% recorded their best percentage jump for the month of January since 1997. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.07% recorded its best January since 2001. The Dow industrials lost 20.81 points, or 0.2%, to 12,632.91, up 3.4% for January in its fourth straight monthly gain. The S&P 500 fell less than a point to 1,312.41, up 4.4% for the month, while the Nasdaq Composite rose nearly 2 points to 2,813.84, up 8% for January.
