Post No. 1,022 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, and a ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization as of April 24, 2011 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings as of April 24, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 12,479.58 down 68.79 or 0.58% from Monday's close of 12,548.37. Of the 30 Dow components 16 gained and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $170.5 +1.64 0.97% 8,775,246 NYSEand percentage-wise was JPMorgan JPM $43.81 +0.93 2.17% 36,264,124 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $102.08 -4.01 3.78% 19,178,975 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $36.91 -2.89 7.26% 100,257,600 NYSE.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,648.92 down 19.09 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,658.01. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $54.96 down 0.31 from Monday's average closing price of $55.27. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.29 (AXP/JPM) up 0.81 from Monday's median closing price of $46.48. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $62.57 0.37 0.59% 2,875,256 NYSE and the highest volume was again Bank of America BAC $11.9 +0.04 0.34% 144,666,013 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 lost $1,909 ($165,801 - $164,892).

MarketWatch Tuesday 5/17/11 5:31 pm by Laura Mandaro says US stocks fell for a third straight session after housing data and a slashed forecast from Hewlett-Packard Co. added to fears of further economic weakness, but shares ended off the day’s lows, helped by recent strength in earnings. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 68.79 points, or 0.6%, at 12,479.58, after losing almost 170 points. Also responding to the day’s economic data, Treasurys rose and oil futures tumbled to the lowest since February.Shares of Hewlett-Packard led Dow decliners, dropping 7.3% after the computer maker cut its forecast for the current quarter and full year. Shares of companies whose products have been feeding a global manufacturing rebound also were hit hard. Caterpillar Inc.’s shares lost 3.8%, while aluminum-producer Alcoa Inc. fell 2.8%.The S&P 500 Index ended down 0.49 point, or 0.04%, at 1,328.98, also recovering the bulk of the day’s losses. Industrials and natural-resource stocks led decliners, while utilities and financials rose.Investors are concerned that the U.S. economy is in for another period of sluggish growth, much like it suffered early last summer, when the post-recession rebound should have been in full swing. That year-ago cooling contributed to the Federal Reserve’s decision to unveil a second round of extraordinary monetary stimulus, or quantitative easing.“It’s a carryover of the sense that some of the recent economic data points, on a month-to-month basis, have softened,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, of the day’s stock decline. Plus, there’s concern about what will happen when the Fed wraps up its $600 billion in bond purchases, at the heart of what’s known as QE2. At the same time, China’s efforts to slow down its economy could cool demand for commodities.“The combination of those factors is unsettling or worrisome for investors who are long that risk exposure,” Luschini added. “You’re seeing some continuing unwinding of the risk-on trade in the materials and consumer-sensitive sectors.”Demand for risk, such as small-cap growth stocks, seems to be hitting a roadblock as the Federal Reserve's special stimulus winds down. Mark Hulbert has details on which types of stocks should benefit. Of the three major indexes, only the Nasdaq avoided extending losses to a third session.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ended up 0.9 point, or 0.03%, to 2,783.21.Volume was roughly in line with the past month, with 971 million shares traded hands on the New York Stock Exchange. Decliners outpaced advancers 17 to 12.Results from major retailers met a varying reception.Wal-Mart Stores Inc, a Dow component, fell 0.9%. The world’s largest retailer said first-quarter profit rose 3%, with demand from China and Mexico offsetting a drop in same-store sales at its U.S. unit. Falling Walmart U.S. sales signaled other retailers are luring more of the value chain’s domestic customers.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,658.01 down 6.26 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,664.27. 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 for today by the divisor (0.132129493) you get the decrease 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 $55.27 down 0.21 from Friday's average closing price of $55.48.
