Post No. 1,454 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 Thursday at 12,705.41 down 11. or 0.09% from Wednesday's close of 12,716.46. Of the 30 Dow components 11 gained, Cisco was unchanged and 18 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $103.69 +0.90 0.88% 5,897,115 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $10.42 +AXP $51.16 0.54 1.07% 6,458,049 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise IBM $191.53 -1.09 0.57% 3,907,260 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $38.91 -0.42 1.07% 9,076,757 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C8 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.09 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.99 (year ago it was 14.65); today's P/E estimate is 12.15 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.63), and today's dividend yield is 2.52 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.54 (last year it was 2.39). 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 1,678.76 down 1.46 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,680.22. 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 $55.96 down $0.12 from Wednesday's average closing price of $56.08. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.81 (AXP/HD) up $0.26 from Wednesday's median closing price of $47.55. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.43 +0.08 0.09% 2,287,968 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.45 +0.09 1.22% 231,855,735 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 $146 ($166,918 - $167,876).

MarketWatch Thursday 2/2/12 4:59 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks tallied limited gains for two of three benchmark indexes Thursday as Wall Street looked to the next day’s employment report as the next indicator of the economic recovery. How much longer can the buy-the-dip crowd stay in control? Expect the market’s resiliency to be tested on tomorrow’s employment report,” said Elliot Spar, a strategist at Stifel Nicolaus.
Alternating between small gains and losses for much of the session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.09% closed down 11 points, or 0.1%, at 12,705. International Business Machines Corp. IBM +0.57% weighed the most on the price-weighted index, losing $1.09, or 0.6%, to $191.53.
The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.11% rose 1.45 points, or 0.1%, to 1,325.54, with energy faring best and natural-resource firms hardest hit among its 10 major industry sectors. Health care was hit after disappointing quarterly reports from companies including pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Inc. /MRK +0.49% insurer Cigna Corp. CI -0.52% and medical-device manufacturer Boston Scientific Corp. BSX +0.00%. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.40% climbed 11.41 points, or 0.4%, to 2,859.68, with the technology-heavy index bolstered by upbeat profit reports from Qualcomm Inc. QCOM -0.05% and payment processor MasterCard Inc. MA -0.10%. For every two stocks falling, three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 810 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume topped 4 billion. Read Movers & Shakers for rundown of major gainers and decliners among U.S.-listed stocks.Data on weekly jobless claims , showing a drop to 367,000 in the latest week, provided limited support. On Friday, the more market-moving January jobs report is expected to show the U.S. created 121,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate likely held steady at 8.5%, according to a MarketWatch survey of economists. Market moves have also been dampened by investor uncertainty about Greece, which has yet to finalize an agreement with its bond holders. The Greek government is looking to make a deal and ensure another European Union-led financial rescue by March 20, the date Athens is supposed to make a bond payment totaling 14.5 billion euros ($19.1 billion). Crude-oil futures CL2H +0.43% fell $1.25 to end at $96.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, and gold futures for April delivery GC2J +0.03% rose $9.80, or 0.6%, to finish at $1,759.30 an ounce on the Comex division on the NYMEX. In Washington Thursday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. economy is improving, although the outlook remains uncertain. Testifying to the House Budget Committee, Bernanke urged lawmakers to enact a plan to cut the federal deficit, while cautioning Congress to not jeopardize the recovery by reducing spending or hiking taxes too rapidly. “He is calling Congress to task, saying you’ve got to get the job done,” Dowbull’s Marc Pado said of Bernanke’s remarks on the U.S. economy before a House committee. “Behind that there was a good initial jobless claims figure, and a decent productivity number, so at the very least we’re looking at an economy that is picking up a little bit of steam in January,” Pado added.
