Post No. 850 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 and Dow 30 component's SEC filings as of January 10, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 11,891.93 up 68.23 points or 0.58% from Friday's close of 11,823.70. Of the 30 Dow Jones component companies 22 gained, Intel was unchanged and 7 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $162 +2.79 1.75% 7,192,098 NYSE and percentage-wise was Exxon XOM $80.68 +1.69 2.14% 34,487,061 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $63.13 -1.07 1.67% 12,559,077 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Monday, 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 is 14.49 (year ago it was 16.30); the P/E estimate is 12.63 (year ago it was 12.99), and the dividend yield is 2.43 (last year it was 2.72). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,571.27 up 9.01 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,562.26. 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 7.57 change in the average.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.38 up $0.30 from Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average average closing price of $52.08. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $45.32 (HPQ/JPM). The lowest volume was 3M MMM $87.92 +0.48 0.55% 4,114,276 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $13.73 +0.13 0.96% 117,476,263 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $900 ($157,140 -$156,240).

MarketWatch Monday 1/31/11 4:59 by Kate Gibson says US stocks rose Monday, helping lift the Dow to its best January in 14 years, as investors took upheaval in Egypt in stride and Exxon Mobil Corp.’s results blew past expectations. “Overall, given what is going on in Egypt, it’s rather encouraging the market is holding up as well as it is,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
However, “we shouldn’t always assume the market reacts in a logical way to the daily news flow,” said Kelly. Recent data showed mutual-fund investors continuing to pull money out of bond funds and into equities in January, he noted. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 11,892, +68.23, +0.58%) closed up 68.23 points, or 0.6%, to 11,891.93, led by more than 2% gains in Alcoa Inc. (AA 16.57, +0.44, +2.73%) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM 80.68, +1.69, +2.14%) shares. On Friday, worries that increasingly violent protests in Egypt would spread to some of the region’s big oil-producing nations rattled investors. The Dow average made its biggest one-day drop since mid-November. For the month, the blue-chip average rose 2.7%, its first January gain in four years and its best January performance since 1997. “We can only hope that the January effect, in which the first month’s performance dictates the trend for the year, is in place for 2011,” noted Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates. Shares of Intel Corp. (INTC 21.46, 0.00, 0.00%) closed flat, shedding earlier losses, after the company said it would discontinue production of a computer chip found to have a design flaw, but raised its overall revenue forecast. The S&P 500 Index (SPX 1,286, +9.78, +0.77%) ended up 9.78 points, or 0.8%, at 1,286.12, with energy companies faring the best and consumer staples performing the worst. It rose 2.3% in January.
Shares of Exxon Mobil (XOM 80.68, +1.69, +2.14%) rose after the oil giant reported net income surged 53% to top $9 billion, and earnings per share of $1.85. Analysts expected EPS of $1.62. Massey Energy Co. (MEE 62.37, -0.49, -0.78%) fronted energy-sector gains on the S&P 500, its shares up 9.8% on a $7.1 billion buyout proposal by rival Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR 53.71, -0.02, -0.04%).
The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP 2,700, +13.19, +0.49%) added 13.19 points, or 0.5%, to 2,700.08. It rose 1.8% in January. For every stock falling Friday, more than two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where 1.2 billion shares traded.
The major stock indexes had pared gains after Intel shares were halted pending a news release. The technology heavyweight revealed a chip-design flaw that will cost the company about $300 million in lost revenue. Stocks, however, were bolstered by economic data. An index of manufacturing in the Midwest rose more than expected and U.S. consumer spending climbed in December. Supporting energy stocks, crude-oil futures finished at more than two-year highs above $92 a barrel. “The market appears to be doing fine relative to all the political upheaval that we’ve seen over the last week or two. Usually if people are scared out of their minds, there would be a flight to quality in U.S. government bonds,” said Fred Fraenkel, vice chairman of Beacon Trust Co.Read emerging-markets report on Egypt. “We’re in a watch-and-wait period to see how all these things work out in the near term. But long term, the aspect of countries in the Middle East wanting to be less autocratic and more democratic is good,” he added.
