Post No. 1,232 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 September 23, 2011.

A read of Monday's Barron's & each of the combined Saturday & Sunday print editions of The Wall St. Journal & Financial Times and Saturday's New York Times & Atlanta Journal Constitution &yielded the following stories about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 component companies and the Dow with stories about the Dow aggregated first and then items about Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 companies presented alphabetically, followed by symbol and Friday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 10,7771.48 up 37.65 or 0.35% from Thursday's close of 10,733.83. For the week the Dow is down 737.61 points or 6.41% from last Friday's close of 11,509.09. For the year the Dow is down 6.96%. Of the 30 Dow components 18 gained, Microsoft was unchanged and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was McDonald's MCD $87.37 +1.38 1.6% 7,575,192 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.31 +0.25 4.13% 502,223,152 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was DuPont DD $40.46 -1.19 2.86% 14,669,739 NYSE.

WSJ pB5 "Dow skids 6.4% on the week" by Steven Russolillo says fears of a possible Greek default & the US economy dipping back into recession pushed the Dow to its worst weekly decline in nearly 3 years. Bank of America led the Dow higher rising 25 cents. Some tech stocks also did well. Intel gained 55 cents & Cisco increased 28 cents but Hewlett-Packard kept the gains in check falling 48 cents. McDonald's raised its quarterly cash dividend 15% to 70 cents a share as its shares rose $1.38.

Fin Times p14 "Banks' retreat accelerated by Moody's pessimism" by Ajay Makan says the S&P was set for its 2nd worst week since the fin'l crisis, as investors' apprehension about the prospecs for global growth increased.

NYT pB7 "Shares post modest gains after a punishing week" by Christine Hauser says stocks in the US & Europe edged higher on Fri but still finished the 5 day trading period sharply lower after some of the steepest declines in weeks.

As of the close of the market Friday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page B4 of Saturday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Saturday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.02 up from Friday's trailing P/E ratio of 11.97 (year ago it was 14.65); Saturday's P/E estimate is 10.83 down from Friday's P/E estimate of 11.52 (year ago it was 12.84), and Saturday's dividend yield is 2.85 down from Friday's dividend yield of 2.86 (last year it was 2.60). 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.

Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,423.23 up 4.98 from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,418.25. 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 Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $47.44 up 0.16 from Thursday's average closing price of $47.28. The median closing price of Friday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.09 (AXP/HD) up $0.25 from Thursday's median closing price of $39.84. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $47.12 -0.26 0.55% 4,471,719 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $6.31 +0.25 4.13% 502,223,152 NYSE.

If Friday 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 $494 ($142,323 - $141,825).

MarketWatch Friday 9/23/11 5:04 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks ended higher Friday but tumbled for the week, sending the Dow average to its worst weekly loss since 2008, with investors alert to any sign of policy makers acting further to bolster the global economy. “The fact that people are afraid to buy here but we’re not going lower, that’s a good sign,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald. “Any good news in this market is all upside from here,” he added.”So much bad news has already been baked into the cake, whether it’s our own dysfunctional government, the threat of the euro zone falling apart, our 10-year yield falling to an all-time low — all of this stuff is based on dire expectations.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 37.65 points to end the day at 10,771.48 points, with 18 of its 30 components advancing. The blue-chips benchmark, however, took home a weekly loss of 6.4% — its worst weekly performance in both point and percentage terms since the period ended Oct. 10, 2008, near the peak of the recent U.S. financial crisis.
Off 6.5% from last Friday’s close, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index added 6.87 points to 1,136.43 Friday. Consumer discretionary shares were up the most, while the energy sector was the laggard among its industry groups.
Pado pointed to 1,120 as a level of support on the S&P 500, saying that when the index on Thursday fell to 1,120 or just below, “that’s where institutions stepped in, something we’ve seen time and time again in the last few months.” The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 27.56 points, or 1.1%, to 2,483.23, leaving it off 5.3% from the week-ago close. Crude-oil futures finished at $79.85 a barrel, down 9.2% for the week. Gold futures ended Friday’s session at $1,639.80 an ounce -- down $101.90 an ounce, or 5.9%, the worst one-day percentage drop since June 2006. For every stock falling, nearly two gained on the New York Stock Exchange, where about 1.23 billion shares changed hands. Friday’s stock gains, which follow two days of hefty losses, came as G-20 officials said, after discussions in Washington, that they were committed to an international response to the troubles endangering the global economy. The Group of 20, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Union are “all trying to verbally support the situation in Europe, using a little rhetoric going into the weekend,” Pado said.
