Post No. 1,551 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 Friday at 13,212.04 up 66.22 or 0.5% from Thursday's close of 13,145.82. For the week the Dow is up 131.31 points or 1% from last Friday's close of 13,080.73. Of the 30 Dow components 27 gained and 3 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Disney. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Intel.

As of the open of the market on Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Friday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Friday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.71 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.69 (year ago it was 15.01); today's P/E estimate is 12.65 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.65 (year ago it was 12.63) and today's dividend yield is 2.49 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.49 (last year it was 2.38). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,745.70 up 8.75 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,736.95. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $58.19 up $0.29 from Thursday's average closing price of $57.90. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.35 (DD/HD) down $0.08 from Thursday's median closing price of $51.35. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 made $875 ($174,570 - $173,695).

MarketWatch Friday 3/30/12 4:57 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Friday snared their biggest first-quarter gain in more than a decade, after a better-than-anticipated rise in consumer confidence and spending boosted views of the economy. The S&P 500’s 12% rise in the first quarter would represent “a stunning year, and is even more so as a quarter,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at DowBull.com. “But I do think it’s a comeback from an underexposed level for institutions; they were so scared they were hiding in defensive issues, and are now looking for opportunities to make money and not just hide. That shift alone has also helped move markets higher,” he said. Up 8.1% for the quarter, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.50% rose 66.22 points on Friday, or 0.5%, to 13,212, sealing its best first-quarter point gain in its history. “There is a general sense that we’ve gotten past the worst of the European crisis and the U.S. economy is gaining momentum,” said Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management. “People are embracing the idea that maybe it is safe to go back into the stock market again,” he added. The S&P 500 SPX +0.37% climbed 5.19 points, or 0.4%, to 1,408.47, garnering its biggest first-quarter advance since 1998. Energy, healthcare and consumer staples rose the most among its 10 major industry groups, with the latter two “indicating a somewhat defensive tone,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial. “Today is the last day of the quarter, so there are the cross currents between under-invested portfolio managers and those taking profits after a fairly decent runup in the market so far this year,” Sheldon said on the end-of-quarter positioning. “There’s often a lot of selling of positions that didn’t quite work out, and end-of-quarter window dressing, with some shelling out a major position in Apple AAPL -1.69% of course,” said Cornerstone’s Skrainka. “A lot of managers have a lot of egg on their face since they didn’t own the stock,” he added of the technology company’s 48% climb so far this year. Shares of iPhone and iPad maker Apple dropped 1.7% on Friday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP -0.12% fell 3.79 points, or 0.1%, to 3,091.57, leaving it up 18.7% for the first quarter. For every share declining more than two rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 966 million shares traded. Composite volume topped 3.6 billion. Oil prices finished at $103.02 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold futures for June delivery GCM2 +0.86% gained $17, or 1%, to end at $1,671.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the Nymex. Euro-area finance ministers agreed on Friday to raise their financial firewall to 700 billion euros ($934 billion) in their latest effort to contain the region’s debt crisis. “Europe has lent banks a trillion euros, which should provide a backstop over the next several quarters. That has taken a certain amount of systemic risk off the table, at least for now,” noted Sheldon. Friday’s economic reports had the Commerce Department reporting spending rose 0.8% in February as income climbed 0.2%.
And, the University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters said consumer sentiment in March climbed to its highest level in more than a year, as Americans gained more confidence about their economic conditions. Separately, a read on business activity in the Chicago area decelerated in March, but remained above 60% for a fifth consecutive month. “There’s a general sense that we’ve gotten past the worst of the European crisis and the U.S. economy is gaining some momentum. We’re seeing more confidence on the part of investors, and that’s why they are coming into the market,” said Skrainka.
