Post No. 1,514 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.

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

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,907.94 up 70.61 or 0.55% from Wednesday's close of 12,837.33. For the year the Dow is up 5.65%. Of the 30 Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $110.31 +2.03 1.87% 5,844,117 NYSE and percentage-wise was Alcoa AA $9.765 +0.215 2.25% 18,153,528NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $96.88 -3.30 3.29% 16,006,687 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Blue chips notch another up day" by Chris Dieterich says stocks coasted higher for the 2nd straight session as optimism increased that Greece will complete a debt swap deal. Growth sensitive materials & industrial stocks led the way as Alcoa was up 22 cents and Caterpillar rose $2.00. McDonald's was down after it reported global same store sales grew more slowly than expected. Johnson & Johnson's new drug Zytiga improved survival in a clinical trial of men with prostate cancer who hadn't undergone chemo.

NYT pB8 "Shares rise on hope of Greek bond swap" by Reuters says stocks rose on Thurs recovering most of the week's losses after Greece moved closer to a bond swap with private creditors to avoid a messy default. McDonald's fell 3.2% after it reported a smaller than expected increase in Feb sales.

Fin Times p22 "S&P consolidates gains despite jump in jobless figures" by Arash Massoudi says US equities continued to recover following losses sustained earlier in the week & shrugging off economic data yesterday that showed first time claims for jobless benefits came in above analysts' estimates. McDonald's was the biggest lower on the Dow after its Feb sales fell below analysts' estimates. Intel dropped 0.3%.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks up again, but volume is timid" by Paul Whitfield says stocks stepped up in quiet trade Thurs but a few leaders drew big volume. The action was up in mixed volume as the current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.

USA Today p4B "Progress in Greek debt swap helps stocks to another gain" by Bloomberg says stocks rallied Thurs giving the S&P its biggest 2 day advance of the year as Greece moved closer to completing its debt swap. Tech & fin'l shares have had the biggest gains among 10 groups this year. JPMorgan aded 49 cents.

As of the open of the market 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 14.44 up from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.37 (year ago it was 14.84); Friday's P/E estimate is 12.45 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 12.45 (year ago it was 12.79) and today's dividend yield is 2.52 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.54 (last year it was 2.39). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,705.51 up 9.83 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,696.18. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.85 up $0.31 from Wednesday's average closing price of $56.54. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.46 (DD/HD)up $0.85 from Wednesday's median closing price of $48.81. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $57.1 +0.23 0.4% 2,311,562M NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.06 +0.04 0.5% 151,092,324 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $983 ($170,551 = $169,618).

MarketWatch Thursday 3/8/12 4:10 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks Thursday extended gains into a second session as reports signaled enough Greek-bond holders had agreed to tender their debt for new Greek bonds, removing the last big obstacle to Greece's second bailout package. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.55% rose 70.61 points, or 0.6%, to 12,907.94. The S&P 500 SPX +0.98% added 13.28 points, or 1%, to 1,365.91. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +1.18% rose 34.73 points, or 1.2%, to 2,970.42. "Today there's been more and more confirmation that they're likely to get enough participation to at least get the restructuring done, and a high likelihood Greece will get its next tranche of money," said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management in Philadelphia.
