Post No. 1,181 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 11,320.71 up 143.95 or 1.29% from Tuesday's close of 11,176.76. Of the 30 Dow components 29 gained and only Exxon declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM
$166.76+ 2.44 1.48% 6,195,002 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.99 +0.69 10.95% 598,232,746 NYSE. The only and therefore biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Exxon XOM
$73.54 -0.12 0.16% 22,607,471 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Wednesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.47 up from Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.11 (year ago it was 13.55); Wed's P/E estimate is 11.11 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 11.11 (year ago it was 12.36), and today's dividend yield is 2.73 down from Wednesday's dividend yield of 2.81 (last year it was 2.79). 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 1,495.80 up 19.02 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,476.78. 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 $49.86 up $0.63 from Tuesday's average closing price of $49.23. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $41.96 (AXP/JPM) up $1.36 from Tuesday's median closing price of $40.60. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $49.51 +0.16 0.32% 4,935,803 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.99 +0.69 10.95% 598,232,746 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 $1,902 ($149,580 - $147,678).

MarketWatch Wednesday 8/24/11 4:08 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks rallied on Wednesday for a third day of gains, as a rise in durable-goods orders helped to dispel some of the more dire thinking about where the economy is headed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 143.95 points, or 1.3%, to 11,320.71. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 15.25 points, or 1.3%, to 1,177.60. The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 21.63 points, or 0.9%, to 2,467.69.
