Post No. 1,457 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 Monday's Barron's and Investor's Business Daily, Sat/Sun combined issues of each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times and Sat. issues of the New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,862.23 up 156.82 or 1.23% from Thursday's close of 12,705.41. For the week the Dow was up 201.77 or 1.59% from last Friday's close of 12,660.46. For the year the Dow is up 5.28%. Of the 30 Dow components 28 gained and 2 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $113.94 +3.61 3.27% 10,235,692 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $7.84 +0.39 5.23% 362,521,410 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $62.77 -0.55 0.87% 17,436,683 NYSE.

WSJ pA1 "Jobs power market rebound" by E.S. Browning says the Diw closed at its highest since May '08 back before the Lehman collapse, as ivnestors increasingly put aside fears of economic calamity and focused again on fundamentals. Unemployment was down to 8.3%.

Fin Times p11 "Buoyant S&P 500 steps back into bull territory" by Ajay Makan says a week that started with eurozone clouds over Wall St ended with the focus squarely back on the domestic economy, as a strong employment report gave another leg to the new year rally. Bank of America hit a post-Aug high and was set to end the week up 6.6% although the bank is still only trading at 40% of the book value of its assets.

NYT pB1 "3 year high for the Dow as Wall St cheers data" by Christine Hauser says due to strong data reports, stocks surged sending the Dow to its best closing level since '08.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Indexes, leaders gallop in heavy volume" by Paul Whitfield says stocks rumbled higher in fast trading Fri as the Nasdaq surpassed its May high & reached its highest level since Dec '00. Friday's action was "strong gains in higher trad" and the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B5 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.17 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.00 (year ago it was 15.06); Saturday's P/E estimate is 12.30 up from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.15 (year ago it was 12.64), and Saturday's dividend yield is 249 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.38). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,699.48 up 20.72 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,678.76. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.65 up $0.69 from Thursday's average closing price of $55.96. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.81 (DD/HD) up $0.26 from Thursday's median closing price of $47.81. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.73 +0.30 0.34% 3,184,033 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.84 0.39 5.23% 362,521,410 NYSE.

If Friday 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 $2,072 ($169,948 - $167,876).

MarketWatch Friday 2/3/12 5::08 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks leapt Friday, propelling the Nasdaq index to an 11-year high, as Wall Street embraced the nation’s jobless rate dropping to a three-year low. U.S. markets will likely focus on Cisco Systems Inc, Walt Disney & Co. and whether Greece and its banks reach a deal over restructuring debt. The day’s broad gains capped a strong week for stocks, with two indexes rallying for the fifth straight week. “The U.S. economy is moving in the right direction,” said Mark Coffelt, portfolio manager of the Empiric Core Equity Fund. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.23% rose 156.82 points, or 1.2%, to 12,862.23, its highest close since May 2008. Of its 30 components, 28 rose, led by a 5.2% gain in Bank of America Corp. BAC -0.26% shares. The S&P 500 Index SPX +1.46% rose 19.36 points, or 1.5%, to 1,344.90, its best day since the first trading session of the year. Financials led the rise among its 10 major sectors, all of which closed higher. For the year, the S&P 500 has risen nearly 7% — its best start since 1987. Reaching a level not hit since Dec. 2000, the Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.61% closed up 45.98 points, or 1.6%, to 2,905.66. The Dow rose 1.6% for the week, which included the end of January — the best January, on a percentage basis, for the index since 1997. The S&P 500 gained 2.2% for the week and the Nasdaq Composite rose 3.2%, both the fifth straight week of gains. For every stock declining nearly four gained on the New York Stock Exchange. NYSE composite volume topped 4.5 billion. Shares of Micron Technology Inc. MU +2.98% were halted after the semiconductor company said its chairman and chief executive, Steve Appleton, 51, had died in a small-plane accident in Boise, Idaho. Micron COO Mark Durcan had last week said he would retire at the end of August. The company is based in Boise. Crude-oil futures CL2H +1.47% gained $1.48 to end at $97.84 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with prices of crude down 1.7% on the week. Gold futures GC2J -1.74% declined $19 to settle at $1,740.30 an ounce on the Comex division of the Nymex, with the precious metal up 0.5% from the week ago close. Treasury prices dropped, with yields on the 10-year note 10_YEAR +5.43% surging 9 basis points to 1.937%. Stocks took off after the Labor Department reported the addition of 243,000 jobs in January, the largest jump in nine months. The unemployment rate fell to 8.3%, the lowest since February 2009. “The jobs report was a really solid number; it beat expectations and continues the trend we’ve seen last few months; the economy is doing better than a lot of people are giving it credit for,” said Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis at Charles Schwab. “Everybody seems to be doubting the economic expansion, partly due to the European situation and partly due to consumer confidence. A lot of economists, analysts and investors have short-changed the economic expansion we’re now in,” Sorensen added.The surprisingly upbeat January data also raised questions about the Federal Reserve’s pledge to keep interest rates at ultralow levels until late in 2014. “I think the Fed futures market is anticipating some hike before the end of 2013. I don’t think he [Ben Bernanke] considers himself locked in to 2014,” said Coffelt at Empiric. Other U.S. data on Friday also supported the view of economic expansion, particularly in manufacturing. The Commerce Department reported orders to factories in December rose 1.1%, up for a second month, while order backlogs climbed 1.4%, the biggest gain in more than two years. And the Institute for Supply Management’s index of nonmanufacturing industries advanced to 56.8 in January from 53 the prior month. The better-than-expected increase comes two days after the institute released a report illustrating that the manufacturing sector in January expanded at its most rapid pace in seven months.
