Post No. 1,531 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 Monday at 13,239.13 up 6.51 or 0.05% from Friday's close of 13,232.62. Of the 30 Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was American Express AXP $57.24 +0.69 1.22% 4,859,861 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies UTX $84.62 -0.86 1.01% 4,445,398 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 14.81 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.83 (year ago it was 14.31); Monday's P/E estimate is 12.83 up from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.39 (year ago it was 12.42) and Monday's dividend yield is 2.47 unchanged from Friday's dividend yield of 2.47 (last year it was 2.48). 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 1,749.28 up 0.86 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,748.42. 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 $58.31 up $0.03 from Friday's average closing price of $58.28. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.03 (DD/HD)down $0.18 from Friday's median closing price of $51.21. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.1 -0.10 0.17% 2,182,217 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.522 -0.278 2.84% 637,471,431 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 $86 ($174,928 - $174,842).

MarketWatch Monday 3/19/12 4:11 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks Monday closed out a low-volume session with minor gains, supported by housing data and Apple Inc.'s AAPL +0.31% plans for a dividend, but held back as investors bought cautiously after stock indexes gained 8%-18% this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.05% rose 6.51 points, or 0.1%, to 13,239.13. The S&P 500 SPX +0.40% added 5.58 points, or 0.4%, to 1,409.75. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.76% rose 23.06 points, or 0.8%, to 3,078.32. "We're faced with a market that's just up a long way," said Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service. "People are starting to be more choosy about when they're buying, and some short-term people are taking profits."

The following are excerpts from Monday morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Investor's Business Daily, Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, 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 Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 13,232.62 down 20.14 or 0.15% from Thursday's close of 13,252.76. For the week the Dow was up 310.6 or 2.4% from last Friday's close of 12,922.02. For the year the Dow is up 8.31%. Of the 30 Dow components 14 gained and 16 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $206.55 +0.55 0.27% 6,262,366 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $9.78 +0.54 5.84% 532,947,551 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was United Technologies UTX $85.48 -1.41 1.62% 7,629,937 NYSE.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Indexes mixed, but leaders fall quiety' by Paul Witfield says stocks closed mixed Fri as the Nasdaq & the D&P delivered their 5th straight up week as Friday's action was mixed in higher volume on expiration day. The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,748.42 down 2.65 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,751.07. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.28 down $0.09 from Thursday's average closing price of $58.37. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.21 (DD/HD)down $0.16 from Thursday's median closing price of $51.37. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $59.185 +0.105 0.18% 4,150,019 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.78 +0.54 5.84% 532,947,551 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 lost $265 ($175,107 - $174,842).

MarketWatch Friday 3/16/12 3:35 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks indexes were virtually flat Friday, curbing weekly gains, after an index of consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in March. “The data was mildly disappointing, but it’s important not to read too much into one number. There was nothing too concerning considering the strong data we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks,” said Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.
Up 2.5% for the not-yet-ended week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.15% fell 4.17 points, or less than 0.1%, to 13,248.59. The S&P 500 SPX +0.11% added 1.25 point to 1,403.85, with energy leading sector gains and utilities losing the most ground among its 10 major industry groups. The index was up 2.4% from the week-ago close. Stock futures advanced after a reading on consumer prices rose, as investors look ahead to reports on industrial production and consumer sentiment, The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.04% declined 3.06 points, or 0.1%, to 3,053.31, readying it for a weekly gain of 2.2%. Shares of Apple Inc. AAPL -0.10% wavered between gains and losses as the technology giant’s third-generation iPad went on sale Friday. For every seven stocks advancing eight fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 885 million shares traded as of 3:20 p.m. Eastern. Crude prices rose, with oil futures for April delivery CLJ2 +2.01% rising $1.95 to end at $107.06 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. “We can of course point our finger directly at gasoline prices, which are up another seven cents week over week,” said Miller Tabak equity strategist Peter Boockvar, referring to the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters sentiment gauge. The index’s preliminary reading for March had confidence dipping to 74.3 in March, its first decline since August. But, “energy costs for the consumer are not what it would seem with the increase in gas prices,” said Sorensen, who adds that the rise in prices at the pump has been offset by the sharp drop in the cost of natural gas. Read more about natural-gas prices. Americans also spent less heating their homes during the mild winter, and are already driving less to reduce the money spent filling their tanks, Sorensen noted. Ahead of the opening bell, the Labor Department reported consumer prices rose less than expected last month, rising 0.4% versus expectations of a 0.5% increase. Core prices that remove volatile food and energy costs rose 0.1% versus expectations of a 0.2% uptick. “The CPI is for many, the all-important measure of consumer prices throughout the economy and when viewed that way, the less-than-expected gain in core prices will be a welcome development,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. Other economic reports Friday had the Federal Reserve reporting the output of U.S. factories, mines and utilities held flat in February, while January production was revised to a 0.4% increase from an initial estimate of unchanged.
