Post No. 1,645 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 May 16 and recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of May 16.

A read of the print editions of Monday's Barron's, Tuesday's Investor's Business Daily, the Sat/Sun/Mon combined issues of  the Wall St. Journal & Sunday's & Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution  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 a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Friday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 12,454.83 down 74.92 or 0.6% from Thursday's close of 12,529.75. For the week the Dow was up 85.45 or 0.069% from last Friday's close of 12,369.38 .For the year the Dow is up 1.94%.  Of the 30 Dow components 7 gained, Alcoa was unchanged and 12 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM and percentage-wise was Boeing.

Inv. Bus. Daily pB6 "Leaders quiet as indexes dip: stocks up for week" by Vic Reklaitis says stocks slipped in light volume Fri ahead of the holiday weekend, finishing the week with respectable gains.  Friday's action was down moderately in lighter volume.  The current outlook is the market is in a correction.

Inv. Bus. Daily pB2 "leading stocks stage rebounds; some issues forming buy setups" by Vince Mao says the market snapped a 3 week slide last week, with many leaders also bouncing back.

Sat. NYT pB5 "Decline in the markets amid concern for Spain" by Bloomberg says stocks fell on Fri trimming the first weekly gain in the S&P since April as concern about Spain's finances outweighed optimism from an early report that American consumer confidence rose to a 4 year high in May.

Sat. WSJ pB4 "Stocks hit pause button but rise on week" by Matt Jarzemsky says stocks fell ahead of the holiday weekend as reports of weakness in Spain underlined anxiety about the uro zone, outweighing a better than expected reading on US consumer confidence.  Caterpillar fell $1.48 while IBM dropped $1.79 weighing on the Dow.  

As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B5 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.72 down from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.81 (year ago it was 14.11); Saturday's P/E estimate is 11.75 unchanged from Friday's P/E estimate of 11.75 (year ago it was 12.62) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.70 up from Friday's dividend yield of 2.65 (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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,645.65 down 9.90 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,655.55. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.85 down 0.33 from Thursday's average closing price of $55.18. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.92 (HD/DD) down $0.27 from Thursday's median closing price of $49.19. 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 lost $990 ($165,555 - $164,565).

MarketWatch Friday 4:16 by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks fell Friday -- but managed to remain higher for the first week in four -- as investors worried about signs of distress in Spain, where lender Bankia SA [es: bkia] readied to become the biggest bank to be rescued by the government in Spain's history. "Now it's not 'let's hang together at all costs,' it's more of 'let's contain the damage.' European leaders need to address the situation quickly," said Alan Skrainka, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth Management. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.60% fell 74.92 points, or 0.6%, to 12,454.83, leaving it 0.7% higher for the week. The S&P 500 SPX-0.22% lost 2.86 points, or 0.2%, to 1,317.82, giving it a 1.7% rise from the week-ago close. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.07% shed 1.85 point, or 0.1%, to 2,837.53.
