Post No. 1,660 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 recent Dow 30 components' SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,127.95 up 26.49 or 0.22% from Monday's close of 12,101.46. Of the 30 Dow components 17 gained and 13 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was JPMorgan.The biggest decliner dollar-wise was United Technologies  and percentage-wise was Walmart.

As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 13.33 down from yesterday's trailing P/E ratio of 13.35 (year ago it was 13.82); today's P/E estimate is 11.78 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 11.78 (year ago it was 12.40) and today's dividend yield is 2.77 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.77 (last year it was 2.45). 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,602.46 up 3.50 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,598.96. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.42 up $0.12 from Monday's average closing price of $53.30. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.13 (HD/DD) up 0.24 from Monday's median closing price of $47.89. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 made $350 ($160,246 - $159,900).

MarketWatch Monday 4:08 by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks rose Tuesday, lifting the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.22% out of a four-session loss streak, after a better-than-forecast showing in the Institute for Supply Management's services index offered some hope on the U.S. economic recovery. The Dow gained 26.49 points, or 0.2%, to 12,127.95. The S&P 500 SPX +0.57% added 7.32 points, or 0.6%, to 1,285.50. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.66% gained 18.10 points, or 0.7%, to 2,778.11.

********************
The following are excerpts from Tuesday morning's Blog.


A read of the print editions of Tuesday'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 a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,101.46 down 17.11 or 0.14% from Friday's close of 12,118.57. For the year the Dow is down 0.95%. Of the 30 Dow components 15 gained and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Home Depot.The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar and percentage-wise was JPMorgan.

WSJ pC4 "Dow hits new low for year" by Chris Dieterich says the Dow fell for the 4th session in a row after a weak reading on US factory orders weighed on manufacturer shares.

USA Today p4b "Markets end the day mixed as investors take calming breath" by AP  says calm returned to the stock market after a spasm of fearfull selling last week.  Caterpillar fell $2.26 on fears that slower building in China and Europe will reduce demand for construction equipment.

Fin Times p22 "chesapeake rally fails to prevent S&P 500's formal correction" by Arash Massoudi says the S&P moved lower as investors fretted over increasingly downbeat growth forecasts.  JPMorgan dropped 2.9% as it continues to deal with the trading loss.  McDonald's was down 0.5% as Yum Brands said it was looking to take Chinese business from it.

NYT pB2 "After a slip, markets end near where they started" by Bloomberg says stocks reversed losses and closed nearly unchanged as analysts saw value in issues in the S&P which on average were at their lowest level relative to their earnings in 6 months.  

Inv. Bus. Daily pB2 "Stocks erase most losses as indexes close mixed" by Vincent Mao says after going back & forth, stocks caught a late session bid & finished mixed Mon as  there was lower trade volume.  The current outlook is the market is in a correction.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,598.96 down 2.26 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,601.22. 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 Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.30 down $0.07 from Friday's average closing price of $53.37. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.89 (HD/DD) down 0.07 from Friday's median closing price of $47.96. The lowest volume was Travelers and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

If Monday 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 $226 ($160,122 - $159,900).

MarketWatch Monday 3:49 by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks briefly turned higher before resuming a mild retreat Monday, sending blue-chip stocks lower for the fourth straight day, as a worsening outlook for the global economy vied with hopes central bankers could soon announce new measures to stimulate growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.14% was down 39 points, or 0.3%, at 12,079. It had deepened losses after a midmorning report showed April factory orders made a surprise decline, falling as much as 83 points, then tipped into the green in afternoon trading. “The weak employment picture seems to have helped [investors] recognize that the storm is washing up on U.S. shores, making it all the more likely that the Fed will act this month,” said Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. “There have been few occasions recently when investors have bought bad news on such a view, and we’re wondering if this is the start of some more optimism.” The S&P 500 Index SPX+0.01% was off 4 points, 0.3%, at 1,274.50, also following a brief move higher. On Friday, the index of large-cap stocks fell under its 200-moving average and also dropped 10% from a 52-week intraday high, in what some technical analysts consider correction territory. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP+0.46% veered between minor gains and losses and was recently up 0.3 points at 2,747. If they finish lower, the benchmark indexes will have lost ground for a fourth straight day, cratering under worsening reports on Spain’s tottering banking system, on a U.S. jobs report Friday that showed only 69,000 positions were added to nonfarm payrolls last month. The Dow slumped 274.88 points, or 2.2%, that day to its lowest closing level since Dec. 21. On Monday, U.S. factory orders showed a surprise drop, adding to souring sentiment about domestic growth. Orders for goods produced in U.S. factories decreased 0.6% in April, the Commerce Department said Monday. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a rise of 0.1%. After Friday’s surprise shortfall in U.S. payrolls growth, “even more second-tier reports take on a higher significance,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group of the factory-orders report. “I think we admit we’re in a soft patch. Now it’s a question of how soft a soft patch.“ On Sunday, a report showed China’s services sector expanded at its slowest pace in more than a year, adding to worries about the nation’s economy. Two separate surveys last week showed deteriorating conditions in China’s manufacturing sector. Supporting early gains Monday, media reports signaled European officials were coalescing around specific strategies to contain the euro debt crisis. The Wall Street Journal reported that Germany has signaled it may be willing to embrace ideas it has so far opposed — such as common euro-zone bonds and mutual support for European banks — if other European nations in turn give up more sovereignty to European Union institutions. Separately, Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine reported that Berlin is pressing Spain to accept aid from the European Financial Stability Facility that would be used to inject liquidity in its banking sector, but Spain has resisted the calls. Then on Monday, a spokeswoman for Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said the G-7 finance ministers and central-bank governors will hold a conference call Tuesday on the European debt crisis. Also, Olli Rehn, European commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, said it was worth considering tapping the euro zone’s permanent rescue fund to directly inject capital into struggling banks, according to a Reuters report. European headlines continue to exert the most influence over stock direction, noted PNC’s Stone, but trading is constrained while investors await more substantive announcements. Among U.S. data releases, the Institute for Supply Management’s report on the services sector Tuesday is considered one of the key U.S. data releases for the week. The European Central Bank’s monetary-policy meeting on Wednesday will also be closely watched, followed by testimony by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Thursday.European headlines over the last few days “did not have a lot of meat. We’ll probably get meat Wednesday with the ECB,” commented Stone. Altogether, it’s a “wait and see Monday.” Among Monday’s biggest moving stocks, Chesapeake Energy Corp. CHK+6.03% shares rallied 6% after the natural-gas producer said it will name a chairman at the end of this month to replace Aubrey McClendon and shake up the rest of its board.PulteHome Group PHM-6.78% shares fell 6.5%, the worst on the S&P 500 and extending Friday’s losses.
