Post No. 1,495 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 Monday at 12,981.51 down 1.44 or 0.01% from Friday's close of 12,982.95. Of the 30 Dow components 15 gained, Merck and Travelers were unchanged and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was American Express AXP $54.3 +0.97 1.82% 6,317,674 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $39.17 +0.89 2.32% 31,416,990 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $75.3 -0.76 1% 5,166,708 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $26.28 -0.36 1.35% 27,324,641 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Monday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Monday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.53 unchanged from Saturday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.53 (year ago it was 14.74); Monday's P/E estimate is 12.45 up from Saturday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.87) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.50 unchanged from Saturday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.40). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,715.24 down 0.19 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,715.43. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.17 down $0.01 from Friday's average closing price of $57.18. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.13 (DD/HD)up $0.14 from Friday's median closing price of $48.99.

If Monday 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 $17 ($171,543 - $171,524).

MarketWatch Monday 2/27/12 4:10 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks eked out a small gain on Monday, shedding most of their advance in the final minutes and sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJI -0.01% lower. Powered by improved sentiment about the U.S. economy following a rise in pending home sales, the S&P 500 SPX +0.14% ended up 1.85 point, or 0.1%, at 1,367.59. The Dow average, which had spent much of the session above 13,000, lost its advance right before the closing bell, sinking 1.44 point, or 0.01%, to 12,981.51. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.08% ended up 2.41 points, or 0.1%, at 2,966.16. Aside from hopes and disappointments about Europe's debt crisis, profit-taking from stocks' strong rally this year, as well as buyers looking to get in on the dips, have accounted for stocks' whipsawed moves in many sessions, analysts say.

MarketWatch Friday 2/24/12 4:09 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Friday veered nearly unchanged to tally weekly gains that had the S&P 500 closing at its highest level since June 2008. Another round of better-than-expected reports on consumer confidence and housing offset worries about crude oil's CLJ2 +1.73% rise above $109 a barrel.
