Post No. 1,486 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.

A read of the print editions of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, Atlanta Journal Constitution, USA Today, 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 12,965.69 up 15.82 or 0.12% from Friday's close of 12,949.87. For the year the Dow is up 6.12%. Of the 30 Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Chevron CVX $108.41 +1.75 1.64% 7,131,324 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart WMT $60.07 -2.41 3.86% 23,769,619 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Dow's reach exceeds its grasp" by Jon Cheng says the Dow climbed above 13000 for the first time in almost 4 years though it failed to hang onto the gains through the day's end. Crude oil surged $2.60 to $105.84 their highest level in more than 9 months which raises concerns about high gas prices but benefited oil firms, Chevron rose 1.6% & Exxon gained 1.1%. Walmart is charted under Band News as the biggest Dow decliner, sliding $2.41 after reporting somewhat disappointing fiscal 4Q results.

NYT pB8 "Dow passes 13,000 but closes below" by Chris Hauser says the Dow broke through the 13000 barrier on Tues a level not seen since before the fin'l crisis in '08.

USA Today p4B "rising oil prices temper relief over deal on Greece bailout" by Bloomberg says stocks pared gains Tues after the S&P failed to hold above its highest close since '08 as approval of Greece's bailout was offset by economic concern with crude oil jumping to a 9 month high. Walmart lost $2.41 after its 4Q earnings misssed estimates.

Fin Times p22 "Equities approach post fin'l crisis high after Europe progress" by Ajay Makan says US stocks closed within 2 points of a post fin'l crisis high as a deal on bail out funding for Greece lifted Wall St. Shares in Alcoa gained 2.6% after it announced a jv with China Power Investment Corp to produce high end fabricated aluminium products for the Chinese market. Bank of America rose 1.1% rallying again after shares suffered their first weekly fall of '12 last week.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks indexes close narrowly mixed" by Vic Reklaitis says the market started out the holiday shortened week with a seesaw performance Tues ultimately finishing mixed & little changed. Decliners beat out advancers on both main exchanges but stocks making new 52 week highs outnumbered those hitting new lows. Tues' action was mixed in lower volume as the current outlook is still in a confirmed uptrend.

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 14.46 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.45 (year ago it was 14.96); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 12.35 up from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.87) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.37). 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,713.15 up 2.09 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,711.06. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.10 up $0.06 from Friday's average closing price of $57.04. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.26 (DD/HD) up $0.27 from Friday's median closing price of $49.09. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.6 +0.04 0.05% 2,399,485 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.11 +.09 1.12% 333,345,717 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 made $206 ($171,300 - $171,106).

MarketWatch Tuesday 2/21/12 4:45 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks finished mostly higher Tuesday after European officials agreed to another round of aid for Greece, pushing the Dow industrials briefly above 13,000 for the first time since 2008. A Greece deal at lastAfter months of nail biting negotiations, Greece has finally reached agreement on a bailout to prevent a debt default next month. “When the market is on a roll it’s on a roll,” said Adrian Day, president of Day Asset Management in Annapolis, Md. “We know we’re going to be revisiting Greece in a few months,” Day added. After topping 13,000 for the first time since May 2008, the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA +0.12% ended at 12,965.69, up 15.82 points, or 0.1%. It last closed above 13,000 on May 19, 2008. Dow component Home Depot Inc. HD +0.06% , was among those that lifted the blue chips after the home-improvement retailer reported a profit that topped Wall Street’s expectations. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.15% fell 3.9%, with the discount retailer weighing on the Dow after its earnings fell short of estimates. The S&P 500 Index SPX +0.07% climbed as high as 1,367.76, just points from 1,370, its May 2011 high. It finished at 1,362.21, up nearly 1 point, or not quite 0.1%, and its highest close since April 29, 2011. Between that day and Oct. 3, 2011, the S&P fell 19%. Since that drop, the index has risen more than 24%. “Even if you believe this is a bull market, the market needs to be able to absorb its gains in order to get a better footing going forward,” said Howard Silverblatt, senior analyst at S&P Indices. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.11% fell 3.21 points, or 0.1%, to 2,948.57. Advancers held a slight edge over decliners on the New York Stock Exchange, where almost 798 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 3.8 billion. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude-oil futures CLH2 +3.49% finished at $105.84 a barrel, up $2.60, and gold futures GCJ2 +1.93% gained $32.60 to end at $1,758.50 an ounce. Though the price of oil is still important, it is less so than in years past, Day noted. “We’re much more efficient users of energy than we used to be, and the economy is less manufacturing denominated than service, so the input of oil per output of production is considerably less than it was,” Day said.
“We had good news on Greece, and good news on earnings, and that is overwhelming the price of oil,” said Day of the muted impact on investor sentiment of oil’s rise to a nine-month high. In Brussels, euro-area finance ministers approved another rescue for debt-encumbered Greece. The 130 billion euros, or $173 billion, financial package still left doubts, however, about how durable the fix would prove. An analysis by European and International Monetary Fund officials reportedly concluded Greece’s debt could widen to 160% of its gross domestic product in 2020. “This is a short-term solution that permits you to rebuild, but you still have to rebuild,” S&P’s Silverblatt said. As investors bought into higher-risk assets, yields on the U.S. government’s benchmark 10-year Treasury note 10_YEAR +2.84% climbed to 2.05%.
