Post No. 1,237 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.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Tuesday at 11,190.69 up 146.83 or 1.33% from Monday's close of 11,043.86. Of the 30 Dow components 26 gained and 4 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $177.72 +3.21 1.84% 6,877,822 NYSE and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ
$23.61 +0.90 3.96% 38,408,792 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was American Express AXP $47.11 -0.45 0.95% 8,093,965 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $6.49 -0.11 1.67% 221,987,549 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C4 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.32 up from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.02 (year ago it was 14.59); today's P/E estimate is 10.83 unchanged from Monday's P/E estimate of 10.83 (year ago it was 12.84), and today's dividend yield is 2.78 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.85 (last year it was 2.61). 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.

Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,478.62 up 19.40 from Monday's closing numerator of 1,459.22. 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 Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.29 up 0.64 from Monday's average closing price of $48.65. The median closing price of Tuesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $39.34 (AXP/HD) down $1.44 from Monday's median closing price of $40.78. The lowest volume was 3M MMM

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 made $1,940 ($147,862 - $145,922).

MarketWatch Tuesday 9/27/11 4:11 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks advanced for the third straight session Tuesday, though finished off their highs of the day, as investors focused on the possibility European policy makers could super-charge their sovereign bailout fund. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 146.83 points, or 1.3%, at 11,190.69, led by a 3.9% rise in Hewlett-Packard Co. shares. At its peak, the Dow had risen more than 300 points. The S&P 500 ended up 12.43 points, or 1.1%, at 1,175.38, led by natural resource and materials stocks. Utilities and financial sectors lagged. The Nasdaq Composite rose 30.14 points, or 1.2%, to 2,546.83
