Post No. 713 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 10/24/10 and an update of the Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of 10/24/10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,188.72 up 64.1 or 0.58% from Monday's close of 11,124.62. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 23 gained 7 and declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Exxon XOM $67.84 +0.89 1.33% 26,023,811 NYSE and percentage-wise was Home Depot HD $31.51 +0.80 2.61% 15,037,186 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Boeing BA $69.78 -0.70 0.99% 6,304,481 NYSE and percentage wise was JPMorgan JPM $36.96 -0.46 1.23% 39,724,954 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, the trailing P/E ratio is 14.16 unchanged from Monday's 14.16 (year ago it was 16.87) the P/E estimate is 13.15 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 13.25 (year ago it was 15.68) and the current dividend yield is 2.54 unchanged from Monday's yield of 2.54 (it was 2.86 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,478.36 up 8.47 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,469.89. 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 7.56 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.28 up 0.28 from Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $49.00. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $42.65 (HPQ/AXP) up 0.70 from Monday's median price of $41.95. The lowest volume was United Technologies UTX $75.25 +0.61 0.82% 2,776,360 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.4 -0.10 0.87% 175,421,287 NYSE.

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 $847 ($147,836 - $146,989 - $).

MarketWatch Tuesday 11/2/10 5:09 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S stocks rose on Tuesday, as investors waited for results of midterm elections expected to yield Republican gains in Congress and for the Federal Reserve to deliver more easing measures at the end of its two-day meeting. “We should have a clearer picture tomorrow morning of the political leadership of the House and the Senate, thus allowing those bodies to consider tax reform and a couple of other important issues during its lame- duck session and ahead of year-end,” wrote Fred Dickson, chief investment strategist at Davidson Cos. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,189, +64.10, +0.58%) rose 64.10 points, or 0.6%, to end at 11,188.72. Twenty-three of the Dow’s 30 components pulled higher, with the gains led by home-improvement retailer Home Depot Inc. (HD 31.51, +0.80, +2.61%), shares of which were up 2.6%. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,194, +9.19, +0.78%) gained 9.19 points, or 0.8%, to end at 1,193.57, with utilities and energy the best performers among its 10 industry groups. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude futures gained $1.15 to end at $83.90 barrel, the highest settlement in nearly six months, with the dollar-denominated commodity rising as the greenback weakened. The dollar index (DXY 76.68, -0.62, -0.80%) tumbled about 0.7% to 76.723. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,534, +28.68, +1.15%) rose 28.68 points, or 1.1%, to end at 2,533.52. How the Fed Could Disappoint MarketsA quantitative-easing program that's too small, say under $300 billion, or not open-ended is unlikely to inspire investors, according to Pimco's Tony Crescenzi, who says the Fed also has to avoid stoking inflation expectations. Stocks largely have tread water in recent days amid uncertainty over the outcome of midterm elections, and over the scope of a second round of quantitative easing expected to be announced Wednesday by the Fed. Most analysts expect the GOP to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democrats to retain control of the Senate, although without the supermajority needed to bypass filibusters. The Fed on Wednesday is expected to announce another round of large-scale bond purchases to push down interest rates and spur borrowing and spending. The idea of higher inflation down the road has been a weight on the dollar for multiple months. Wall Street is looking for a program of roughly $100 billion in monthly purchases to be conducted over the course of at least six months. “It’s hard to know what could upset the apple cart this week — the Senate being close is one thing and the other is the magnitude of quantitative easing,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co. Tuesday also brought revived M&A activity in technology, with Oracle Corp. (ORCL 29.57, +0.04, +0.13%) saying it would pay $1 billion to acquire Art Technology Group Inc. (ARTG 5.96, +0.01, +0.17%) , which makes software used in online transactions. The ongoing M&A trend among tech companies makes sense, given “as a sector, tech has more cash on the balance sheet than any other,” added Hogan.
In a similar vein, Dell Inc. (DELL 14.37, +0.01, +0.04%) said it would acquire cloud-computing services company Boomi, although the personal-computer maker did not disclose terms of the deal. For every stock falling, nearly three gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 914 million shares traded.
