Post No. 659 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, a ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of 9/12/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 9/12/10.

Your Blogger competed in the USAT National Age Group Olympic Distance Triathlon and the Sprint Championship Triathlon this weekend in Tuscaloosa & qualified for the 2011 World Championship in my age group in Beijing and am taking a few days off so my coverage of the Dow will be spotty until Friday 10/1/2010. Sorry for the inconvenience. Dan

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 10,835.28 down 22.86 or 0.21% from Tuesday's close of 10,858.14. Of the 30 Dow Companies: 8 gained and 22 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was and percentage-wise was Boeing BA $65.97 +1.45 2.25% 5,847,344 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $60.62 -0.42 0.69% 11,368,802 NYSE and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $44.53 -1.14 2.5% 7,593,899 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of today's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493, as of Monday the trailing P/E ratio is 14.39 down (year ago it was 15.66) the P/E estimate is 12.76 (year ago it was 15.71) and the current dividend yield is 2.65 (it was 2.90 a year ago). 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.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,431.66 down 3.02 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,434.68. 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 of 3.02 for Wednesday by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease in Wednesday's Dow of 22.86. 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 $47.72 down 0.10 from Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $47.82. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.77 (AXP/HPQ) uo 0.12 from Tuesday's median closing price of 42.65. The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.17 +0.13 0.15% 2,915,619 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $13.11 -0.16 1.21% 156,418,080 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 lost $294 ($143,460 - $143,166).

MarketWatch 9/29/10 Wednesday 4:35 pm by Jonathan Cheng says U.S. stocks finished lower but off their lows Wednesday, with losses in the financial sector partly offset by gains in energy, as crude oil rallied to a seven-week high.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,835, -22.86, -0.21%) ended down 22.86 points, or 0.2%, to end at 10,835.28. The S&P 500 (SPX 1,145, -2.97, -0.26%) shed 2.97 points, or 0.3%, to end at 1,144.73, and the Nasdaq Composite (COMP 2,377, -3.03, -0.13%) edged down 3.03 points, or 0.1%, to 2,376.56. The blue-chip index was able to erase most of its morning’s losses after the Department of Energy said crude-oil stockpiles fell by 475,000 barrels to 357.9 million barrels, more than an expected 300,000-barrel decline. The steep drop, which comes after a summer marked by unusually high levels of stockpiling, helped oil prices jump to $77.45 a barrel after falling as low as $75.60 a barrel earlier in the morning.
Energy stocks led the S&P sectors as Sunoco (SUN 36.28, +0.02, +0.05%) rose 3.4%, Hess (HES 58.78, +0.59, +1.01%) gained 1% and Chevron (CVX 81.20, -0.08, -0.10%) added 0.5%. Exxon Mobil (XOM 61.59, -0.47, -0.76%) remained lower, off 0.8%. Rising oil prices weighed on consumer discretionary stocks, which were the worst performers of the day. Urban Outfitters (URBN 32.39, +0.43, +1.35%) dropped 8.4% and Starwood Hotels & Resorts (HOT 52.04, -0.10, -0.18%) shed 2.7% to lead the sector’s decliners. “For consumers, this is a huge part of their pocketbook,” said Thomas Villalta, portfolio manager for Jones Villalta Asset Management in Austin, Texas. Technology stocks were slightly in positive territory, helped by a 2.2% gain at Hewlett-Packard (HPQ 42.53, +0.91, +2.19%) , which led the Dow’s gainers after the company said revenue for the fiscal year would be between $131.5 billion and $133.5 billion, a range that compared favorably with the consensus forecast of $131.6 billion. Cisco Systems (CSCO 21.87, +0.01, +0.03%) rose fractionally, even though International Business Machines purchased a maker of Ethernet switches, putting the two tech giants in more direct competition. IBM (IBM 135.48, +0.59, +0.44%) rose 0.4%. On Tuesday, U.S. stocks ended higher as takeover deals and hopes for more Treasury buying by the Fed helped offset worries over weak consumer-confidence data. The Dow finished up 46 points after it reversed an 80-point slide earlier in the session. “Until we get into the midst of corporate earnings season in mid-late October, we’re going to see some volatility, with the possibility of some upward trending, especially if the Fed makes any action on securities purchases,” said Villalta of Jones Villalta. Speculation about more monetary easing in the U.S. has pushed the dollar lower in recent days. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY 78.79, -0.23, -0.29%) , which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, hit its lowest level in eight months Wednesday morning, while the dollar sank to a two-week low against the yen before bouncing back up to trade at 83.67 yen recently. The move continued the dollar’s slide back toward the level it hit two weeks ago, just before Japanese authorities intervened in currency markets. The euro (USDEUR 0.7438, +0.0022, +0.2967%) edged up against the dollar, piercing the $1.3628 barrier after the European Commission proposed legislation that would strengthen its control over the economic policies of EU member states, including fines for breaching budget rules. Treasurys were modestly lower, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note (UST10Y 2.50, +0.03, +1.30%) rising to just below the 2.50% mark, at 2.49%. “Policy analysts and the Fed are saying we’ve already taken interest rates to zero, we’ve already done this massive quantitative easing, and it really didn’t help the broad economy -- it helped big companies, financial companies and the stock market, but it did very little for the broad economy,” said Ben Halliburton, chief investment officer at Tradition Capital Management. Given the Fed’s internal reassessment of the first wave of quantitative easing, he added: “I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that quantitative easing will happen.” Hewlett-Packard shares find momentum after the computer giant offers an upbeat forecast for its fiscal year. Dell gains after the company says it will unveil a tablet computer in the next few weeks. MarketWatch's Rex Crum reports.
Gold futures (GCZ10 1,312, +1.30, +0.10%) hit another high as the dollar weakened, with the yellow metal edging above $1,310.50 an ounce. On the corporate front, shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR 30.84, -0.22, -0.71%) fell 16% after the firm said the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating its revenue-recognition practices. Oil giant BP (UK:BP. 421.00, +15.85, +3.91%) was also back in the headlines as incoming Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley said he will restructure BP’s upstream business and create a new safety division, with the power to audit any part of the company’ operations. BP shares rose 1.8%. Family Dollar Stores (FDO 43.98, -0.07, -0.16%) rose 1.6% after the discounter topped the consensus earnings forecast and announced plans to buy back up to $750 million of its shares. Live Nation Entertainment (LYV 9.96, +0.11, +1.12%) gained 1.1% after reports that chairman Barry Diller had resigned his position amid turbulence at the concert-promotion giant. Meanwhile, Nintendo (NTDOY 32.80, -3.25, -9.02%) dropped 9% after the Japanese gaming company cut its profit and sales outlook, citing the strong yen and weaker-than-expected sales of its video-game consoles.
