Post No. 1,547 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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 13,126.21 down 71.52 or 0.54% from Tuesday's close of 13,197.73. Of the 30 Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was American Express and percentage-wise was Bank of America. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar.

As of the open of the market on Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 1477 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.82 (year ago it was 14.82); today's P/E estimate is 12.65 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 12.65 (year ago it was 12.63) and today's dividend yield is 2.48 up from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.47 (last year it was 2.40). 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 1,734.36 down 9.44 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,743.80. 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 $57.81 down $0.32 from Tuesday's average closing price of $58.13. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.43 (DD/HD) down $0.25 from Tuesday's median closing price of $51.68. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 $944 ($174,380 - $173,436).

MarketWatch Wednesday 3/28/12 5:15 pm byLaura Mandaro says U.S. stocks fell for a second session Wednesday as investors dumped energy and other stocks closely tied to global growth after a disappointing report on durable-goods orders. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.54% ended down 71.52 points, or 0.5%, to 13,126.21, or 0.4% higher from last Friday’s close. At its lows of the day, down 128 points, it had briefly lost weekly gains. Caterpillar Inc. CAT -3.52% sank 3.5%, weighing the most in points and percentage terms. Alcoa Inc.AA -2.29% shares were the second-worst percentage loser, falling 2.3%. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.49% fell 15.39 points, or 0.5%, to 3,104.96. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.49% lost 6.98 points, or 0.5%, to 1,405.54. Among the index’s 10 sectors, energy and materials — notably metals firms such as Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold FCX -3.59% and Allegheny Technologies Inc. ATI -2.93% — weighed the most. The energy sector has dropped 4.2% this month and materials are down 0.3%, with much of that selloff in the past two weeks. “Those two sectors in particular, as well as industrials, are generally reflective of global growth concerns emanating out of China,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC. Worries that China was cooling faster than some expected helped rattle stocks last week, sending the Dow and S&P 500 to their worst week of the year. A report showed a deeper contraction in manufacturing activity. Read last week's report on China factory activity. On Wednesday, the Shanghai Composite -2.65% dropped 2.7%, its worst loss since late November, after the National Bureau of Statistics showed a 5.2% drop in profits for China’s largest industrial groups during the first two months of this year. Read more on Shanghai Composite. Ahead of the opening bell, U.S. stock futures erased gains after the Commerce Department reported orders for long-lasting goods rose 2.2% in February, rebounding from a sharp drop in January, but lagging the 2.9% growth anticipated by analysts. “The report was not as strong as we would have liked, especially given the drop-off in January,” added Greenhaus. U.S. equities had been lifted by a strong Monday rally following remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The three major indexes have surged between 7% and 19% this year. “We’ve got a little spoiled here in the last six months,” said Richard Ross, global technical strategist at Auerbach Grayson & Co. “We have a market move that’s not even off 1%, and it feels a lot worse than it’s been. We’ve been used to such a low volatility environment,” he said.

The following are excerpts from Wednesday morning's Blog.

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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 13,197.73 down 43.9 or 0.33% from Monday's close of 13,080.73. For the year the Dow is up 8.02%.

WSJ pC4 "Dow loses 43.90 in a late decline" by Matt Zarzemsky says stocks edged lower as consumer confidence and home price data met economists' expectations but failed to excite investors.

Fin Times p22 "Lennar lays the foundation for strong gains by homebuilders" by Arash Massoudi says sahres in homebuilders reached their highest levels since Sept '08 as investor confidence in a housing market recovery was boosted by economic data & strong earnings results from Lennar. Pfizer rose 1.5% after a Goldman Sachs note said it will considering separations beyond Animal Health and Nutrition. Bank of America dropped as it was downgraded by Baird analysts.

USA Today p4B "Stocks fall despite positive consumer confidence report" by Bloomberg says stocks retreated Tues as a report showing American consumer confidence near the strongest level in a year failed to encourage investors.

NYT pB8 "Shares slip as big quarter approaches finish line" by Reuters says stocks retreated on Tues but a batch of large cap shares touched new highs with the help of portfolio managers buying top performers near the end of the quarter. Bank of America is the 2nd best performing S&P stock for the quarter, up 75%.

Inv. Daily pA1 "Indexes sink late, but leaders hold firm" by Vic Reklaitis says stocks slumped into the close to end lower Tues but largely held onto the bulk of Mon's strong gains as the action was down in mixed volume and the outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,743.80 down 5.81 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,749.61. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.13 down $0.19 from Monday's average closing price of $58.32. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.68 (DD/HD) down $0.01 from Monday's median closing price of $51.69. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $89.14 -0.02 0.02% 2,305,283 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $9.6 -0.33 3.32% 247,887,278 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 lost $581 ($174,961 - $174,380).

MarketWatch Tuesday 3/27/12 4:59 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks slid Tuesday as Wall Street offered muted reaction to the day’s economic data and took a break after the past months’ rally. “I don’t think you can make anything too much out of today, it’s kind of a pause,” said Ken Tower, senior analyst at Quantitative Analysis Service Inc. “When the euro zone averted a collapse, we went into a period of stability, which we didn’t fully appreciate towards the end of last year. What we’ve seen in the last couple of months is people who were under invested trying to catch up, and certainly some end-of-quarter window dressing,” Tower added. Up 8% year-to-date, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -0.33% fell 43.90 points, or 0.3%, to 13,197.73.
The S&P 500 SPX -0.28% ended down 3.99 points, or 0.3%, to 1,412.52, with financials down the most and utilities the best performing of its 10 sectors. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.07% lost 2.22 points, or 0.1%, to 3,120.35. Decliners ran just ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where 730 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume was 3.5 billion and Nasdaq Composite volume was 1.7 billion. On Monday, stock indexes surged more than 1%, canceling last week’s losses and extending the quarter’s gains, after Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke said accommodative monetary policy continues to be warranted. Treasury prices rose with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note 10_YEAR -2.75% , used in determining mortgages and other consumer loans, falling to 2.184%. Oil rose, with the futures contract for May delivery CLK2 -0.22% gaining 30 cents to end at $107.33 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold declined GCJ2 -0.33% 70 cents to $1,684.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the NYSE. Read more on oil futures. The Conference Board’s confidence index fell to 70.2 in March from a revised 71.6 reading the prior month. “Bottom line, confidence remains above 70 for a second straight month and is well off the low seen in February ‘09 of 25.3 but is still below the 10-year average of 79.2,” emailed Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. Ahead of Wall Street’s open, data showed home prices in 20 major U.S. metropolitan areas falling at a slower rate in January, illustrating stabilization in the housing market. Home builder Lennar Corp. LEN +4.66% rallied 4.7% after better-than-anticipated earnings. Shares of Walgreen Co. WAG +1.25% also gained after the drugstore chain reported second-quarter profit that beat Wall Street’s expectations.
