http://www.dowjonesmonitor.com/

Post No. 1,794 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.


A read of the print editions of  Monday's Barron's and Investor's Business Daily, Sat/Sun combined issues of  each of the Wall St. Journal & Financial Times; & Sunday's & Sat'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 13,090.84 up 90.13 or 0.69% from Thursday's close of 13,00.71.  For the year the Dow is up 7.15%.  For the week the Dow is down 67.13 or 0.05% from last Friday's close of 13,157.97.  Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and only Merck declined.  The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM up $1.80 and percentage-wise was Intel up 2.31% The only decliner dollar-wise was  and percentage-wise was Merck down 1 cent or .02%.

Sat WSJ pb5 "Dow tacks on 90, leading to Au8gust gain" by Jonathan Cheng says the Fed Res didn't have to say much to send stocks higher Fri as ivnestors embraced the prospect of more central bank aid of the economy.

Sat. NYT pB7 "Shares rise after Fed Chairman's speech & end month higher" by AP says stock indexes finished higher Fri & posted big enough gains to put them into positive territory for August after a positive statement from Bernanke.

IBD pB6 "August lifts stock market as industry sectors shuffle" by Paul Whitfield says stocks shrugged off a stand pat stance from the Fed on Fri as the indexes chalked up their 1st upside Aug since '09.  Friday's action was up in rising vol as the current outlook is a confirmed uptrend.

Fin Times p11 "Facebook weighed down by bleak analysts' forecast" by kandy Wong says  Bank of America cut its 12 month target price for Facebook to $23 from $35.  Overall the S&P 500 increased 0.5% leaving it on track for a weekly loss of 0.3%.  Bernanke reiterated concerns over the pace of the recovery and outlined available policy tools but held back from giving a direct hint of further easing.  JPMorgan shed 0.15.  Exxon the largest US oil group by market cap lost 0.95.  Chevron was up 0.1%.  DuPont added 0.3% but lost 1.2% over the week as it agreed to sell its coatings biz to Carlye for $5.15 bil.

As of the close of the market on Friday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B6 of   Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.12914682. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.51 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.41 (year ago it was 12.54); Friday's P/E estimate is 12.42 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 12.52 (year ago it was 11.52) and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.61 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.64 (last year it was 2.73). 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 1,690.63 up 11.64 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,678.99.  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 (0.12914682) you get the increase in today's Dow .Each dollar increase in the Dow increases the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 7.74.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of  Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.35 up 38 cents from Thursday's average closing price of $55.97. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $53.25 (HD/DD) up 15 cents from Thursday's median closing price of $53.10 (HD/DD). The lowest volume was Travelers 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 $1,369 ($167,899).

MarketWatch.com Thurs. 4:13 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Friday notched a third month of gains that have largely priced in another round of easing by the Federal Reserve and policy action in Europe to address its debt crisis. The market drew "a lift today on further confirmation that [Fed Chairman Ben] Bernanke does have another round of QE in his back pocket," said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. After a 151-point climb, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.69% rose 90.13 points, or 0.7%, to 13,090.84, giving it a 0.6% August gain and a 0.5% decline on the week. The S&P 500 index SPX +0.51% climbed 7.10 points, or 0.5%, to 1,406.58, rising 2% for the month and down 0.3% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.60% advanced 18.25 points, or 0.6%, to 3,066.96, up 4.3% for the month and off 0.1% for the week.
