Post No. 1,533 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 13,170 down 68.94 or 0.52% from Monday's close of 13,239.13. Of the 30 Dow components 8 gained, Kraft and Procter & Gamble were unchanged and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Home Depot HD $49.38 +0.55 1.13% 7,611,821 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $9.81 +0.28 2.94% 446,493,814 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $110.76 -2.97 2.61% 8,066,212 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C8 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.82 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.81 (year ago it was 14.41); today's P/E estimate is 12.83 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.83 (year ago it was 12.29) and today's dividend yield is 2.47 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.47 (last year it was 2.46). 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 1,740.14 down 9.14 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,749.28. 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.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.01 down $0.30 from Monday's average closing price of $58.31.

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 lost $914 ($174,928 - $174,017).

MarketWatch Tuesday 3/20/12 5:05 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell Tuesday, with the S&P 500 Index retreating after a three-session advance that had the index near a four-year high. The market’s decline isn’t surprising, given “we had such an incredible run-up and were moving toward historic highs,” said Carol Pepper, chief executive of Pepper International, an investment-advisory firm in New York. ‘History will show Ben Bernanke did a good job.’ Carol Pepper, Pepper International
After falling nearly 116 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.52% closed down 68.94 points, or 0.5%, at 13,170.19, with heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. CAT +0.17% weighing the most, off 2.6%. Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.32% shares also weighed, down 0.5%, after the entertainment conglomerate said it expects science-fiction film “John Carter” to lose about $200 million. Outside the blue-chip benchmark, shares of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. LGF +3.27% rose 7.2% ahead of the company’s release of “The Hunger Games” movie. Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.20% led gains that included just eight of the Dow’s 30 components. The bank’s shares rose 2.9% after it said it would not issue more equity in a secondary offering. The S&P 500 SPX -0.30% declined 4.23 points, or 0.3%, at 1,405.52. On Monday it had closed at its highest since May 2008 and also notched a new 52-week high. Among 10 industry groups, energy and industrial stocks slipped the most on Tuesday. Financials fared best. Barring a turn in fundamentals, Pepper is part of the camp that believes any pullback was unlikely to be significant, given that Wall Street’s advance so far this year caught many professionals off guard. “So a lot of hedge-fund managers are saying once a pullback comes, we’ll get in,” she added. Others offered a more bearish take. “If the S&P 500 should have a clear break of 1,390 in the next one to two days, the buy-the-dip crowd will head for the shelters and sellers can get the upper hand,” Elliot Spar, a market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus & Co., wrote in afternoon commentary. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.14% shed 4.17 points, or 0.1%, to 3,074.15, outperforming the Dow and S&P 500. Helped by a 3.7% lift in Amazon shares, the Nasdaq 100 NDX +0.16% bucked the broad down trend and ended 0.2% higher at 2,737.63. For every share advancing, less than two fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where about 711 million shares traded hands. Composite volume was 3.7 billion. Oil prices fell, with crude futures CLJ2 -2.23% for April delivery down $2.48, or 2.3%, to settle at $105.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Equities and commodities around the globe fell after China raised fuel prices for a second time in less than six weeks, and an executive from mining company BHP Billiton Ltd. BHP -0.55% said that China’s demand for iron ore is flattening out. The U.S. Commerce Department reported housing starts fell last month while permits for future building rose to their highest level since October 2008. In the afternoon, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave the first of four lectures at George Washington University on the history of the central bank, continuing his effort to shed light on the workings of the Fed at a time when both he and the Fed are under political attack. “With the election season, Bernanke-bashing is in season,” said Pepper, who noted that most people don’t realize the Fed “made a tidy sum” for taxpayers in its purchases of mortgage-backed bonds and other programs. “What he’s doing is a little more difficult for the average person to understand, but unemployment rates are going down, and we didn’t have a massive collapse of all our banks. History will show Ben Bernanke did a good job,” she commented.

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.

WSJ pC4 "Apple boosts stocks" by Matt Jarzemsky says stocks were up after a steady reading from homebulders & news of Apple's plan to return cash to shareholders. Bank of America is charted under Bad News as it was the biggest Dow loser.

NYT pB6 "Apple elevates markets, especially the S&P 500" by Bloomberg and USA Today p4B "Apple plan helps S&P hit its highest point since '08" by Bloomberg says this was due to Apple announcing it will pay a dividend and buy back $10 bil in stock.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "nasdaq, S&P notch fresh multiyear highs" by Vince Mao says stocks extended their winning ways Mon with most major averages hitting fresh multiyear highs as Monday's action was up in lighter vol with the current outlook still a confirmed uptrend.

Fin Times p22 "Apple makes healthy gains as it prepares for dividend payments" by Arash Massoudi says tech stocks pushed the S&P to another high as Apple said it would begin making div payments for the first time since '95.

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.

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."
