Post No. 1,536 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 recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings.

A read of the print editions of Thursday'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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 13,124.62 down 45.47 or 0.35% from Tuesday's close of 13,170.19. For the year the Dow is up 7.42%. Of the 30 Dow components 9 gained, GE was unchanged and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Coke KO $71.12 +0.53 0.75% 9,877,414 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $49.79 +0.41 0.83% 10,247,197 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $109 -1.76 1.59% 7,854,626 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $23.46 -0.52 2.17% 43,095,858 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Energy shares drag on Dow" by Jon Cheng says the Dow fell for a 2nd straight day as sagging energy stocks weighed on investors. Chevron fell $1.l17 a share, Exxon fell 59 cents. Hewlett-Packard was the biggest decliner after it said it would unite its printing and PC units. HP fell 52 cents. Alcoa and Caterpillar, exposed to global growth were weak as Alcoa shed 17 cents and Caterpillar fell $1.76. Home Depot rose 41 cents and Coke was up 53 cents.

Fin Times p24 "Weak housing sales figures fail to dent homebuilder PulteGroup" by Arash Massoudi says US equities fell for a 2nd straight day as new housing dta showed that existing home sales slipped in Feb even as homebuilders continued to strengthen their 1Q gain.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Nasdaq stalls in mixed day but many leaders rally" by David Saito-Chung says the major indexes spun their wheels to end mixed Wed but leading stocks strode higher, a subtle clue that enthusiasm for equities is still solid. The action was mildly mixed in higher trade as the outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

NYT pB10 "Growing confidence bolsters markets against dips" by Reuters says stocks showed little change on Wed as losses in the nergy services sector weighed on the market but gains in tech shares buoyed nasdaq and helped keep the S&P near 4 year highs.

USA today p4B "markets fall as investors worry about rally's staying power" by Bloomberg says stocks declined a 2nd straight session on concern that the biggest 1Q rally since '98 has outpaced prospects for economic growth.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.69 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.74 (year ago it was 14.60); today's P/E estimate is 12.83 unchanged from Wednesday's P/E estimate of 12.83 (year ago it was 12.29) and today's dividend yield is 2.49 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.48 (last year it was 2.43). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,734.14 down 6 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,740.14. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.80 down $0.21 from Tuesday's average closing price of $58.01. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.20 (DD/HD) up $0.15 from Tuesday's median closing price of $51.05. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $88.91 -0.44 0.49% 2,391,295 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.82 +0.01 0.1% 324,693,203 NYSE.

If Wednesday 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 $600 ($174,017 - $173,414).

MarketWatch Wednesday 3/21/12 4:14 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed mostly lower Wednesday, with sentiment getting a bit of a dent from corporate reports from Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -2.17% and others, and some disappointment from a report on existing home sales. "It's mixed data, typical of the halting recovery we've been having. I don't think anyone expects a smooth ride at this stage," said Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager of the Federated Clover Small Value Fund, of the housing data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.35% ended down 45.57 points, or 0.4%, at 13,124.62, with H-P leading declines. The S&P 500 SPX -0.19% fell 2.63 points, or 0.2%, to 1,402.89, led by energy-share losses. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.04% rose 1.17 points, or 0.04%, to 3,075.32.
