Post No. 1,169 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 and Dow 30 components' SEC filings in each case as of August 2, 2011.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 11,410.24 up 4.28 or 0.04% from Tuesday's close of 11,405.93. Of the 30 Dow components 15 gained and 15 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Coke KO $69.275 +1.105 1.62% 10,417,986 NYSE and percentage-wise was Verizon VZ $35.61 +0.73 2.09% 15,332,778 DualListed. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was Caterpillar CAT $87.57 -1.78 1.99% 9,616,582 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $31.34 -1.27 3.89% 22,000,090 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Wednesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.74 down from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.86 (year ago it was 14.03); Wednesday's P/E estimate is 11.39 unchanged from Tuesday's P/E estimate of 11.39 (year ago it was 12.49), and Wednesday's dividend yield is 2.67 up from Tuesday's dividend yield of 2.65 (last year it was 2.69). 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 1,507.63 up 0.57 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,507.06. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.25 up $0.01 from Tuesday's average closing price of $5024. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.17 (AXP/JPM) down $0.18 from Tuesday's median closing price of $41.35. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $52.2 +0.22 0.42% 2,360,805 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.4599 +0.0599 0.81% 150,031,300 NYSE.

If Wednesday 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 $57 ($150,763 - $150,706).

MarketWatch Wednesday 8/17/11 4:12 pm by Laura Mandaro says a bleaker outlook for technology shares weighed on the Nasdaq Composite and kept the other major benchmarks to minor gains on Wednesday. At the close of a session marked by modest volume and shallow moves on both sides of break even, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 4.28 points, or 0.04%, to 11,410.21, with American Express Co. leading percent gainers and Hewlett-Packard Co. shares fronting decliners. The S&P 500 ended up 1.13 points, or 0.1%, to 1,193.89. Telecommunications were up the most and tech took the steepest drop, led by a 10% fall in Dell Inc. shares. The Nasdaq Composite slid 11.97 points, or 0.5%, to 2,511.48.

Walmart rallied $1.94 as it reported 2Q earnings & rev that topped expectations & raised its full year earnings estimate. Home Depot advanced $1.66 as its 2Q Earnings exceeded analysts forecast and it lifted its full year earnings outlook, highlighting how consumers are still investing in their homes.

Fin Times p22 "Talk of European tax on fin'l transactions weighs one xchanges" by Ajay Makan says falling fin'l shares dragged the S&P down 1% bringing an end to Wall St's 3 day rally. News that Hedge fund maanger John Paulson reduced his position in Bank of America dragged it down 4.5%. Home Depot led a small group of advancers gaining 5.3%.

The average closing price (the closing numerator divided by 30) of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $50.24 down $0.33 from Monday's average closing price of $50.57.

The S&P 500 slid 11.73 points, or 1%, to 1,192.76, with financials hit hardest after the German and French leaders said they planned to propose a tax on financial transactions, but dismissed the idea of issuing euro-zone bonds.
