Post No. 1,462 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 Tuesday at 12,878.2 up 33.07 or 0.26% from Monday's close of 12,845.13. Of the 30 Dow components 20 gained and 10 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $100.91 +1.42 1.43% 6,024,907 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was United Technologies UTX $80.28 -0.29 0.36% 2,799,684 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $7.85 -0.12 1.51% 252,999,360 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.15 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.17 (year ago it was 15.14); today's P/E estimate is 12.30 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.30 (year ago it was 12.64), and today's dividend yield is 2.50 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.49 (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 1,701.59 up 4.37 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,697.22. 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 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 $56.72 up $0.15 from Monday's average closing price of $56.57. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.54 (DD/HD) up $0.03 from Monday's median closing price of $48.51. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.74 +0.41 0.69% 2,186,733 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.85 -0.12 1.51% 252,999,360 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 $437 ($170,159 - $169,722).

MarketWatch Tuesday 2/7/12 4:52 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rose Tuesday, sending the Dow industrials to their highest close since 2008, as Greece reportedly neared accord on budget cuts, job openings rose in America and the Federal Reserve kept to its low-rate stance. “The market is mostly trading on news regarding Greek sovereign debt; maybe we can put one more issue behind us,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. Also, a Labor Department report had job openings rising to 3.38 million in December from 3.12 million the month before, showing “continued progress in the labor market,” said Luschini.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.26% rose 33.07 points, or 0.3%, to 12,878.20, its highest close since May 19, 2008. It had reversed higher early in the session after falling as much as 62.56 points. “We opened on the back of declining European equities, so that’s the bias the market took on the open, that whatever had rattled Europe would carry over, but now a final draft is seemingly moments away, so the market is more inclined than not to treat it as good news,” said Janney Montgomery Scott’s Luschini of the market’s about face. In Athens, government officials reportedly have a draft deal to present to Greek party leaders on Wednesday detailing another bailout. In Washington, top U.S. central banker Ben Bernanke reiterated his call on lawmakers to cut the nation’s long-term red ink, and repeated that the labor market is a long ways from returning to good health.
Bernanke, who also took questions from lawmakers, did make the comment that there is “still a lot of underlying weakness in the labor market, and the Fed is not ignoring that prospect, which keeps hope of QE3 alive,” said Luschini of prospects of a third round of quantitative easing by the central bank. “There’s nothing going on this week, so people are reaching for a catalyst. Plus, [Federal Reserve Chairman] Bernanke said that not withstanding the jobs number on Friday, we’re going to remain accommodative,” said Art Hogan, a strategist at Lazard Capital Markets. “The punch bowl is still on the table.” On the Dow, 20 of 30 components rose, led by a 1.4% gain in McDonald’s Corp. MCD -0.01% Helping lift the blue-chip index, Coca-Cola Co. KO +0.76% shares climbed 0.8% after the beverage maker reported adjusted fourth-quarter results that topped consensus expectations.
Boeing Co. BA +0.04% shares were down for a second day, off 0.3%, on the heels of production delays reported due to a structural fix needed in some of its 787s.
The S&P 500 index SPX +0.20% gained 2.72 points, or 0.2%, to 1,347.05, with utilities leading the gains and natural-resource stocks the greatest laggard among its sectors. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP +0.07% advanced 2.09 points, or 0.1%, to 2,904.08. For every 13 stocks falling, 17 gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where more than 728 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume was about 3.7 billion. Any selloff, regardless of how short or shallow, is being used as a buying opportunity, noted Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus.
“If feels like some money managers are still underinvested, while those shorting have to take them back when it doesn’t work. The march has become a little more rotational in recent days,” said Spar, who questioned whether the trend marked a prelude to a full-fledged correction. Moving average and other technical gauges are “all indicative of a market that seems stretched,” suggested Luschini at Janney Montgomery Scott. “When you’re up more than 7% the first five weeks of the year is probably not a sustainable pace,” he said, adding that a correction of between 3% and 5% is likely in order.

The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog.

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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,845.13 down 17.1 or 0.13% from Friday's close of 12,862.23. For the year the Dow is up 5.14%. Of the 30 Dow components 9 gained, Merck was unchanged and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Chevron CVX $106.71 +1.21 1.15% 5,596,642 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $7.97 +0.13 1.66% 229,398,024 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise Boeing BA $75.46 -0.88 1.15% 3,843,738 NYSE and percentage-wise was Travelers TRV $59.36 -0.76 1.26% 1,732,476 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Blue Chips fret again on Greece" by Christian Berthelsen says stocks drifted lower as the recent rally paused with investors turning focus to wrangling in Greece over fiscal austerity. Fin'ls & materials were lower as Travelers ended down 79 cents, the biggest drop among the Dow and Pfizer slipped 25 cents. Bank of America was the largest gainer on the Dow rising 13 cents.

Fin Times p22 "Lazard comes under pressure due to weak 4Q earnings" by Ajay Makan says shares in Lazrd fell 4.2% after its 4Q eps were only 1 cents. Large cap Bank of America, JPMorgan, Citi and Morgan Stanley all saw Jan deal value fall at least 60% compared with '11.

NYT pB8 "Markets edge down after 5 week rally" by Reuters says stocks closed slightly lower on Mon as lingering questions about Europe's debt crisis & corp earnings overshadowed growing optimism about economic growth after a 5 week rally.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks dip mildly after 5 week rally" by Vincent Mao says stocks stumbled out of the gate on Greek debt fears, but bounced back to end minimally lower Mon as Monday's action saw stocks ease in soft trade. The current outlook is the market is still in a confirmed uptrend.

USA Today p4B "Worries about cuts in Greek spending send stocks down" by Bloomberg says stocks declined slightly Mon following a 5 week advance for the S&P amid concern about Europe's debt crisis as Greek leaders wrestled with spending cuts to get aid & avert a default.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,697.22 down 2.26 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,699.48. 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 $56.57 down $0.08 from Friday's average closing price of $56.65. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.51 (DD/HD) up $0.70 from Friday's median closing price of $47.81. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.36 -0.76 1.26% 1,732,476 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.97 +0.13 1.66% 229,398,024 NYSE.

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 $226 ($169,948 - $169,722).

MarketWatch Monday 2/6/12 4:10 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed lower Monday, coming off multi-year highs, as talks between Greece and its international lenders, as well as private-sector creditors, proved inconclusive. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.13% fell 17.10 points, or 0.1%, to 12,845.13 after ending at its highest since May 2008 on Friday. The S&P 500 SPX -0.04% dropped 0.6 point, or 0.04%, to 1,344.33; as of Friday, it had posted its best start to the year since 1987. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.13% lost 3.67 points, or 0.1%, to 2,901.99, coming off its highest close since December 2000.
