Post No. 1,333 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 November 1, 2011.

A read of the print editions of Tuesday's The Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, New York Times, USA Today, Atlanta Journal Constitution & Daily Report (Ga. - carries Bloomberg) 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 Monday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 11,547.31 down 248.85 or 2.11% from Friday's close of 11,796.16. For the year the Dow is down 0.26%. Of the 30 Dow components all 30 declined. The biggest decliner dollar-wise was IBM $181.48 -3.76 2.03% 5,140,601 NYSE and percentage-wise was Bank of America BAC $5.49 -0.29 5.02% 268,165,891 NYSE.

WSJ pC1 "Panel's failure sinks stocks" by Jon Cheng says investors are worried about another downgrade of the US credit rating as the 12 member group of lawmakers were unable to cut $1.2 trillion from the nation's budget.

NYT pB1 "Credit risk in Europe push stocks downward" by Chris Hauser says stock prices declined as credit risks in Europe overpowered any market concerns over the faiure in DC to reach a deficit reduction package.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks sink on Euro zone, US worries" by Vincent Mao says stocks started a holdiay week with big losses Mon, continuing the selling that began last week as the stocks tumbled broadly. the current outlook is the market is in a correction.

Fin times p24 "Gilead Sciences takes a knock after announcing Pharmasset deal" by Ajay Makan says Wall St's focus shifted away from Europe but politics remained at the forefront as the supercommittee deadlock led all 3 US indices to swoon.

USA Today p1B "Markets sink on panel's failure" by Adam Shell says the Dow fell after the supercommittee was unable to agree on cuts.

As of the open of the market Tuesday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 12.40 down from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 12.66 (year ago it was 14.26); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.10 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.10 (year ago it was 13.17), and today's dividend yield is 2.71 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.65 (last year it was 2.55). 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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,525.74 down 32.88 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,558.62. 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 $50.86 down $1.09 from Friday's average closing price of $51.95. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $40.78 (DD/VZ) down 0.66 from Friday's median closing price of 41.44. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $54.76 -1.46 2.6% 4,407,256 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $5.49 -0.29 5.02% 268,165,891 NYSE.

If Monday 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 $32,880 ($155,862 - $152,574).

MarketWatch Monday 11/21/11 4:23 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks sank Monday, pulling the Dow Jones Industrial Average into negative territory for 2011, as the lack of progress by American lawmakers in reaching a deficit-cutting agreement magnified worry that Europe’s debt crisis would spur a global downturn. “The good news is being totally discounted, and the fear of the worst-case scenarios are being priced in,” said Tim Courtney, chief investment officer of Burns Advisory Group. “The markets are aligning themselves like we’re going to have a global recession. Not only are stocks going down but commodities and real estate, so it’s betting against the economy,” said Courtney. After falling as much as 342 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 11,547.31, losing 248.85 points, or 2.1%, and leaving the index off 0.3% for the year. All 30 of the Dow’s components lost value, led by Bank of America Corp., which declined 5%. Yet the Dow remained more than 900 points above its Oct. 3 close of 10,655.30. “It seems like it does not want to go down below roughly the 11,000 mark,” said Courtney. “There is only so low the market can go, until you say this is assuming we’re not even going to have an economy, that people won’t be going to work that they’ll just stay at home and tend to their gardens,” he added. Extending losses into a fourth consecutive session, the S&P 500 Index fell 22.67 points, or 1.9%, to 1,192.98, with financial companies hit hardest among its 10 major industry sectors. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined 49.36 points, or 1.9%, to 2,523.14.
For every stock on the rise nearly half a dozen fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 931 million shares traded. “A lot of the data recently is looking better than expected — retail sales, industrial production, LEI [leading economic indicators] and today home sales. But investors are saying, ‘That’s nice, but backwards looking, we could be pushed back into recession by Europe,’ ” said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. “Monday is also traditionally a capitulation day,” said Stovall, pointing out that Oct. 3, when the S&P 500 closed at its lowest level so far this year, was also a Monday. And March 9, 2009, when the S&P hit the bottom of a months-long stretch of selling that came with the financial crisis, was a Monday as well. The question for investors is whether the current slide is a retest of the Oct. 3 low, in which case it would “represent a very nice buying opportunity,” or the start of a bigger drop, according to Stovall. “It gets bleakest at the time it’s best to be buying,” he observed. In Washington, the supercommittee, comprising six Democrats and six Republicans from the House and Senate, was formed in August by the legislation that hiked the U.S. debt ceiling. The panel has until Wednesday to come up with at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction to avoid automatic spending cuts of the same amount in 2013.“The fact that our economy has been able to plug along and post rather decent data during the global financial crisis should be viewed as a success. However, it is completely overshadowed by the dire and incompetent actions of the supercommittee,” Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald, noted in emailed commentary. The National Association of Realtors on Monday reported sales of previously owned U.S. homes climbed 1.4% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.97 million, suggesting slight improvement in the troubled sector. Another report issued Monday had rating agency Moody’s Investors Service warning that elevated borrowing costs and a wobbly economy pose a threat to France’s credit outlook.
