Post #327 The following is brought to you by Intellivest Securities Research, Inc. Towards the end of this Blog is a list of the Dow 30 current CEOs, a ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of 3/1/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's most recent SEC filings as of 3/1/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,566.2 up 122.06 or 1.17% or 0.46% from Thursday's close of 10,396.76. For the week the Dow is up 240.94 or 2.3% from last Friday's close of 10,325.26. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 28 gained and 2 (Micosoft and Verizon) declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $67.93 +2.38 3.63% 8,485,422 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Microsoft MSFT $28.5875 -0.0425 0.15% 55,828,336 NASDAQ-GS.

As of the open of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132319125 unchanged, the trailing P/E ratio is 16.28 up from Thursday's P/E ratio of 16.21 (year ago it was 21.87) the P/E estimate is 13.21 unchanged from Thursday's P/E estimate of 13.21 (year ago it was 10.81) and the current dividend yield is 2.60 down from Thursday's dividend yield of 2.61 (it was 4.70 a year ago).

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1398.11 up 16.15 from Thursday's closing Dow numerator of 1,381.96. 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 of 16.15 for Friday by the divisor you get the increase in Friday's Dow close of 122.06. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.60 up 0.54 from Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $46.06. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 40.50 up 0.49 from Thursday's median closing price of 41.01. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $82.44 +1.42 1.75% 3,133,719 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $16.7 +0.30 1.83% 171,693,149 NYSE.

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 $1,604 ($139,800 - $138,196).

Market Watch Market March 54, 2010, 5:38 p.m.by Peter McKay & Donna Kardos Yesalavich says U.S. stocks rally as jobs data lifting sentiment
Benchmarks post second week of gains; Dow has best day since mid-Feb. U.S. stocks close higher on retail sales, upgrades -- Signs of slowing job losses in the U.S. sparked the best one-day gain in stocks in more than two weeks on Friday as investors bet more aggressively on economic recovery. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 10,566, +121.91, +1.17%) ended 122.06 points higher, up 1.2%, at 10,566.20, its best one-day rise in both point and percentage terms since Feb. 16.
Standard & Poor's 500-stock (SPX 1,139, +15.72, +1.40%) gained 1.4%. Its financial sector rose 2%, getting a boost after an afternoon report showed borrowing by consumers unexpectedly climbed in January. In the week's most widely anticipated economic release, the Labor Department said nonfarm payrolls fell by 36,000 in February, well below the drop of 90,000 expected by economists polled by MarketWatch. The unemployment rate held steady at 9.7%, better than the 9.8% rate economists expected. The jobs report comes on the heels of recent readings of manufacturing, service-sector activity, and retail sales that have also shown improvement, reinforcing the view of many traders and analysts that the U.S. economy is staging a gradual comeback. Volume on Friday improved compared to the previous two sessions, though it still fell shy of the 2010 daily average around 5 billion shares. Composite turnover in New York Stock Exchange-listed companies hit 4.3 billion shares. Investment banker Herb Allen added to his stake in Coca Cola while insiders at Open Table are taking chips off the table. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,326, +34.04, +1.48%) was up 1.5%, helped by a 3.9% gain in Apple (AAPL 219.00, +0.05, +0.02%) after the electronics maker said its iPad tablet would be available in the U.S. on April 3. It was a second-straight week of gains for the indexes. The Dow average added 2.3% for the week, the S&P 500 gained 3.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 3.9%. Shares of Monster Worldwide Inc. (MWW 15.69, +0.01, +0.07%) and other staffing and job-search companies gained on Friday's jobs report. Monster jumped 3.8% while Robert Half International (RHI 29.92, +1.14, +3.96%) climbed 4% and Manpower Inc. (MAN 55.73, +2.03, +3.78%) climbed 3.8%. The Dow average was led by gains of more than 3% each in Alcoa, Inc. (AA 13.87, +0.03, +0.24%), Boeing Co. (BA 67.94, +0.01, +0.02%) and American Express Co. (AXP 40.16, -0.04, -0.10%) shares. Commodity prices also benefited from optimism about the economy on Friday, with traders betting on increased demand. Crude futures approached $82 a barrel, and the broad Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index was up 0.6%.
News from overseas was more of a mixed bag for investors. The Greek parliament approved a €4.8 billion ($6.52 billion) austerity package, seen as a prelude to any European Union aid for Greece, while thousands of union members protested the measures on the streets outside. Prime Minister George Papandreou is embarking on a five-day tour of foreign capitals to persuade fellow EU leaders to back Greece as it faces one of its worst economic crises in its modern history. China's government announced a conservative budget for 2010 that reinforces its gradual shift away from stimulus programs adopted during the financial crisis, even as officials said they were still committed to supporting economic growth. Meanwhile, a report from the Nikkei newspaper said the Bank of Japan may take further easing measures, news that sent the Nikkei 225 up in Tokyo and lifted the dollar against the Japanese yen. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY 80.42, -0.14, -0.17%) , which measures the greenback versus a basket of six overseas denominations, was flat. The cost of one euro rose to $1.3609, up from $1.3591 late Thursday.Treasury prices fell. The benchmark 10-year note was off 22/32 to yield 3.689%.

Below are excerpts from Fri. am Blog:

A read of Friday's Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, USA Today, The 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 symbol and Thursday's stock prices and related data.

Dow: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 10,444.14 up 47.38 or 0.46% from Wednesday's close of 10,396.76. For the year the Dow is up0.15%. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 23 gained and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Boeing BA $65.55 +1.10 1.71% 7,718,659 NYSE and percentage-wise was Disney DIS $32.57+ 0.93 2.94% 23,076,369 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was McDonald's MCD $63.43 -0.20 0.31% 5,958,183 NYSE.

Fin Times p24 "S&P 500 advances but drop in house sales damps mood' by Masa Serdarevic says US stocks ended higher yesterday, helped by better than expected initial jobless claims and productivity figures, which boosted investor sentiment ahead of today's non-farm payrolls data.

NYT pB8 "Shares Rise on Signs That Economy Is Stabilizing" by Reuters says Stocks rose Thurs. as better than expected monthly sales from retailers and a decline in the number of Americans filing claims for jobless benefits suggested the nation's economy was stabilizing. Feb. retail sales, which were expected to have been hurt by the severe weather across the US, lifted retailers' shares, and the S&P retail index rose 1.3%.

WSJ pC1 "Dow Combs Back to Black For This year" by Peter A. McKay says stocks gained as analyst upgrades of a trio of blue chip firms helped the Dow break into positive territory for the year. The Dow was led by a 2.9% gain in Disney after Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised its rating on the firm to buy from neutral. Coke benefited from upgrades by UBS by being moved to buy from neutral, it was up 1%, while Boeing gained 1.7% after being moved to a neutral from a sell.

WSJ pC5 "Boeing, Coca-Cola & Disney Aid Dow" by Donna Kardos Yesalavich says stocks closed higher as analysts' upgrades of disney, Boeing and Coke provided a boost, along with better than expected retail sales and weekly jobs numbers.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Indexes Rise, But Top Stocks Show Little leadership" by Paul Whitfield says stocks rose moderately Thurs. in mixed volume, as most indexes closed in better from than in the prior couple of days. The current outlook is the market is in a confirmed uptrend.

USA Today p4B "Stocks rise in advance of jobs report" by AP says optimism about the gov's Feb. jobs report sent the Dow back into the black for '10.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1381.96 up 6.27 from Wednesday's closing Dow numerator of 1,375.69. 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 of 6.27 for Thursday by the divisor you get the increase in Thursday's Dow close of 47.38. A $1 change in the price of any DJIA stock = a 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $46.06 up 0.20 from Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing price of $45.86. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was 41.01. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $81.02 +0.02 0.02% 2,620,209 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $16.4 +0.03 0.18% 157,746,425 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 $616 ($138,196 - $137,580).

Market Watch Market March 4, 2010, 4:29 p.m.by Peter McKay U.S. stocks shed early gains as health care weighs -- U.S. stocks rose Thursday, helped by better data on retail sales and jobless claims, while a trio of analyst upgrades pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average into positive territory for 2010. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU 10,444, +46.86, +0.45%) gained 47.38 points, or 0.5%, to 10,444.14, up 0.2% for the year. It was led Thursday by a 2.9% gain in Walt Disney Co. (BAC 16.42, +0.02, +0.12%) after Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised its rating on the company to "buy" from "neutral." Two other Dow components benefited from upgrades by UBS. Shares of Coca-Cola Co. (KO 54.60, +0.13, +0.24%), which was moved to a "buy" rating from "neutral," rose 1%. Boeing Co. (BA 65.86, +0.31, +0.47%) gained 1.7% after being moved to a "neutral" rating from "sell" by the investment bank, which said a greater proportion of airlines are now looking to speed deliveries of new aircraft rather than postpone them. Better-than-anticipated readings of jobless claims and nonfarm business activity also helped the market, though data on factory orders and pending home sales were disappointing. All the week's big-picture announcements, however, have been viewed mostly as precursors to a highly anticipated payrolls report due Friday morning. Wall Street is expecting to see further declines in nonfarm payrolls for February -- a worrisome sign for investors looking for a robust economic recovery.The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,292, +11.63, +0.51%) was up 0.5%, while the S&P 500 (SPX 1,123, +4.18, +0.37%) was up 0.4%. Health-care stocks, which led a late-day swoon in the market on Wednesday, continued to be a sore spot. Insurance companies led the sector's losses after executives entered a meeting with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at the White House. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama hopes to see the House approve health-care legislation by March 18. UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH 32.96, +0.01, +0.04%) shares fell 3.4%, Aetna Inc.(AET 31.31, +0.66, +2.15%) was down 2%, and Cigna Corp. (CI 34.11, +0.07, +0.21%) shares fell 1.9%. Several retailers reported improved sales in February. Among the companies that handily topped expectations, Zumiez Inc.(ZUMZ 17.55, -0.07, -0.40%) shares jumped 10.1%, while Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF 41.67, +0.15, +0.36%) climbed 14.6% and Aeropostale Inc. (ARO 37.50, -0.01, -0.03%) rose 6.5%. Composite trading in New York Stock Exchange-listed companies hit 4.1 billion shares, falling well shy of the 2010 full-day average of 5.1 billion shares. Other assets were more volatile than stocks, especially the dollar, which posted a solid rally versus the euro after Greece successfully completed an offering of 10-year debt. The dollar's gains in turn weighed on commodities, which are traded globally in terms of the greenback. Crude futures ended down 66 cents at $80.21 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold futures fell and Treasury prices were mixed. The two-year note was down 3/32 to yield 0.859% while the 10-year note was up 4/32 to yield 3.608%
