Post No. 384. 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 4/1/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's most recent SEC filings as of 4/1/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,144.57 up 21.46 or 0.19% from Wednesday's close of 11,123.11. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 18 gained and 12declined.

A slew of economic reports included a rise of 24,000 in those applying for jobless benefits last week, with the four-week average up 7,500 at 457,750. Transportation lifted to 52-week highTransportation benchmark drives higher with shares of UPS hitting a 17-month high after the shipping giant posts quarterly results that blow past analysts' estimates.
