Post No. 1,521 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 as of 3/7/12 and Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings as of 3/7/12.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,177.68 up 217.97 or 1.68% from Monday's close of 12,959.71. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 gained. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $113.3 +4.36 4% 7,993,261 and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $43.39 +2.85 7.03% 75,442,600 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.50 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.44 (year ago it was 14.64); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.39 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.39 (year ago it was 12.42) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.52 unchanged from Monday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.42). 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 1,741.16 up 28.77 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,712.39. 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 $58.04 up $0.96 from Monday's average closing price of $57.08. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.91 (DD/HD)up $0.73 from Monday's median closing price of $50.18. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.75 +1.21 1.38% 3,070,929 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.49 +0.50 6.26% 374,779,578 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 $2,877 ($174,116 - $171,239).

MarketWatch Tuesday 3/13/12 4:42 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks leapt Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite finishing above 3,000 for the first time in 11 years, after J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. hiked its dividend, retail sales climbed and the Federal Reserve held rates at record lows. “You don’t want to fight the Feds,” Nick Raich, director of research at Key Private Bank in Cleveland, said of the coordinated actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve and its counterparts overseas.
The Federal Reserve, as expected, keeps its interest rate target between 0% and 0.25% and says a rise in oil and gasoline prices will only "temporarily" push up inflation. “It’s been across the globe, the rally, and a lot of it has to do with the over $6 trillion in stimulus being pumped into the economy,” Raich added.
“We avoided a major banking crisis in Europe, and central banks are doing all they can to reinflate the economy and prop up stock prices,” Raich said. “Today’s news by and large was positive. This economy is still picking up steam,” said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel. Reclaiming its perch above 13,000, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.68% rose 217.97 points, or 1.7%, at 13,177.68, its biggest single-day jump since Dec. 20, 2011, and its highest level since Dec. 31, 2007. The Dow last closed above 13,000 on Feb. 28, its first finish above that level since the middle of 2008. J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.62% led blue-chip gains, up 7% after the bank said it would hike its quarterly dividend and repurchase $15 billion of its stock by the end of the first quarter 2013. The S&P 500 Index SPX +1.81% added 24.87 points, or 1.8%, to 1,395.96, with financial companies rallying the hardest among its 10 sectors. Even with Nasdaq above 3,000, the market will likely remain cautious and most leading tech-sector stocks will rise slowly, says tech commentator John C. Dvorak. Also topping a psychological milestone, the Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.88% climbed 56.22 points, or 1.9%, to 3,039.88, its highest level since Nov. 15, 2000.The Nasdaq cleared 3,000 on Feb. 29, but failed to retain the level through the close. That last occurred Dec. 11, 2000. The Nasdaq hit its all-time high of 5,048.62 on March 10, 2000. Apple Inc. AAPL +0.05% shares, the biggest Nasdaq component, hit a record $568.18, and finished at $568.10, up 2.9%, after Jefferies raised its price target on the technology company and research group IDC hiked its outlook for table computer shipments for 2012.
For every stock falling more than three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 907 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 4.3 billion. “I don’t know what to make of the low volume, maybe institutions are fully invested and we have not successfully gotten retail investors back into the stock market,” said Tuz.
The dollar climbed against the euro EURUSD -0.07% and the yen USDJPY +0.05% , while bond prices fell, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR +0.42% rising to 2.08%. The price of crude wavered between gains and losses, with oil futures for April delivery CLJ2 +0.10% closing up 37 cents at $106.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. As expected, the central bank kept interest rates at record lows and said it would continue its program of swapping short-term for longer-term Treasurys. “They are in a balancing act between some signs of economic growth, chiefly better employment numbers, against rising gas and food prices, so it’s steady as she goes until the next meeting,” said Tuz at Chase Investment Counsel. The Commerce Department reported retail sales climbed 1.1% to $407.8 billion in February, while the prior two months were revised higher. The rising sales were pretty impressive in that rising gas prices haven’t hurt the consumer,” said Raich at Key Private Bank. The upward revisions imply first-quarter economic growth could be “a bit stronger” than first estimated, noted Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC in New York.

**********************
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 12,959.71 up 37.69 or 0.29% from Friday's close of 12,922.02. For the year the Dow is up 6.07%. Of the 30 Dow components 21 gained, Travelers was unchanged and 8 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Exxon XOM $85.59 +1.29 1.53% 17,182,862 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $108.99 -1.23 1.12% 6,085,396 NYSE and percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $40.54 -0.49 1.19% 28,588,744 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Dow extends streak to 4 sessions" by Chris Dieterich says the Dow rose for the 4th straight session in listless trading as trade data from China raised concerns about growth there. Exxon rose $1.25 and Merck was up 1.3% while JPMorgan fell 49 cents and Caterpillar fell $1.28.

NYT pB8 "Slowdown in China weighs on Wall St" by Bloomberg says stocks were mixed on Mon in light trading as investors weighed whether an economic slowdown in China could lead to an easing of monetary policy.

Fin Times p24 "BofA falls below $8 threshold as banks drive fin'ls down" by Arash Massoudi says US equities were mixed Mon as fresh economic data out of China added to growing concerns that its economy was cooling.

USA Today p6B "Uncertainty has Dow, S&P slightly up, while Nasdaq slips" by AP says stocks struggled for direction Mon, unsure of what to make of news about Greece's debt workout and eclectic announcements from a few well known US firms, such as Seal and Michael Kors.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks end little hanged ahead of Fed's meeting" by Vincent Mao
says stocks struggled for direction and ended narrowly mixed following a quiet session Mon as the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.
As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.50 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.44 (year ago it was 14.64); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.39 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.39 (year ago it was 12.42) and today's dividend yield is 2.52 unchanged from yesterrday's dividend yield of 2.52 (last year it was 2.42). 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 1,712.39 up 5.1 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,707.38. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.08 up $0.17 from Friday's average closing price of $56.91. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.18 (DD/HD)up $0.38 from Friday's median closing price of $49.80. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.54 +0.74 0.85% 1,813,167 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.975 -0.075 0.93% 156,147,483 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 made $510 ($171,239 - $170,738).

MarketWatch Monday 3/12/12 4:08 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks managed moderate gains in low volume Monday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.29% to its fourth straight win. The Dow average rose 37.69 points, or 0.3%, to 12,959.71, its longest string of gains since the win streak ended Jan. 20. The S&P 500 SPX +0.02% inched up 0.22 point to 1,371.09. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.16% fell 4.68 points, or 0.2%, to 2,983.66. New York Stock Exchange volume was 611 million with 3 billion NYSE-listed shares trading hands, or about 80% of the last month's average. With a light U.S. economic and corporate calendar, investors traded cautiously ahead of bigger events this week, including Tuesday's Federal Reserve meeting.
