Post No. 1,489 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' recent SEC filings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Thursday at 12,984.69 up 46.02 or 0.36% from Wednesday's close of 12,938.67. Of the 30 Dow components 19 gained and 11 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was IBM $197.61 +3.74 1.93% 8,026,185 NYSE and percentage-wise was Procter & Gamble PG $66.42 +1.98 3.07% 20,162,902 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Hewlett-Packard HPQ $27.05 -1.89 6.53% 71,361,756 NYSE.

As of the open of the market Thursday, the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C6 of Thursday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Thursday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.42 down from Wednesday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.46 (year ago it was 14.71); Thursday's P/E estimate is 12.35 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.35 (year ago it was 12.87) and today's dividend yield is 2.50 unchanged from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.50 (last year it was 2.37). 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.

Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,715.66 up 6.09 from Wednesday's closing numerator of 1,709.57. 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 Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $57.19 up $0.18 from Wednesday's average closing price of $56.99. The median closing price of Thursday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $49.16 (DD/HD)up $0.23 from Wednesday's median closing price of $48.93. The lowest volume was Travelers TRV $58.96 0.02 0.03% 2,794,824 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $8.02 +0.07 0.88% 144,162,990 NYSE.

If Thursday 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 $609 ($171,566 - $170,957).

MarketWatch Thursday 2/23/12 4:12 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks closed with broad gains Thursday, with the S&P 500 near a 10-month high, as reports underlining general improvement in the economy offset a disappointing outlook from Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -6.53% . The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.36% rose 46.02 points, or 0.4%, to 12,984.69. The S&P 500 SPX +0.43% gained 5.80, or 0.4%, to 1,363.46, its highest since April 29. The Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.81% advanced 23.81 points, or 0.8%, to 2,956.98. U.S. data showed home prices climbed 0.7% in the final month of last year. And jobless claims last week held near a four-year low.

The following are excerpts from Thurs. morning's Blog.

A read of the print editions of Thursday's Wall St. Journal, Financial Times, Investor's Business Daily, Atlanta Journal Constitution, USA Today, 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 Wednesday's stock prices and related data.

Dow Jones Industrial AverageThe Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Wednesday at 12,938.67 down 27.02 or 0.21% from Tuesday's close of 12,965.69. For the year the Dow is up 5.9%. Of the 30 Dow components 10 gained and 20 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar CAT $115.81 +7.95 -0.16 1.97% 229,483,532 NYSE. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Walmart WMT $58.6 -1.47 2.45% 28,630,841 NYSE.

WSJ pC4 "Walmart leads stocks in retreat" by Jon Cheng says stocks faltered for the first day in 4 amid caution on the European economy & uncertainty about the implementation of Greece's debt deal. Walmart which dragged he Dow lower on Wed was again the Dow's worst performer losing $1.47. It has fallen 6.2% this week. Hewlett-Packard dropped 41 cents ahead of its 4Q earnings report. HP fell in after hours trading after missing rev expectations and after rival dell disappointed expectations on Tues and gave a 1Q sales outlook below projections. Johnson & Johnson fell 4 cents after picking Alex Gorsky as its next CEO.

USA Today p4B "Home sales miss estimates, leading markets lower" by Bloomberg says stocks fell Wed with the S&P failing to hold at an almost 4 year high as sales of previously owned houses missed estimates & data from Europe & China spurred economic concern.

Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,709.57 down 3.58 2.09 from Tuesday's closing numerator of 1,713.15. 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 Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $56.99 down $0.11 from Tuesday's average closing price of $57.10. The median closing price of Wednesday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $48.93 (DD/HD) down $0.33 from Tuesday's median closing price of $49.26. The lowest volume was M MMM $87.76 +0.16 0.18% 2,650,082 NYSE and the highest volume again was Bank of America BAC $7.95 -0.16 1.97% 229,483,532 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 lost $358 ($171,300 - $170,957).

MarketWatch Wednesday 2/21/12 4:49 pm by Kate Gibson says U.S. stocks on Wednesday retreated after a three-session winning run, with equities taking a break from an advance that sent the S&P 500 Index up 8% this year. “We think stocks are positioned for a bit of a pause here; it’s really nothing fundamental,” said Jim Russell, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Cincinnati.
‘We’ve had a good year-to-date progression in most capital markets, and markets look a little tired.’ Markets have incorporated quite a bit of positive news — including improving employment trends in the United States, good corporate earnings for the fourth quarter, an apparent resolution to provide Greece some stability, low interest rates and recent Federal Reserve minutes relaying a third round of quantitative easing would be applied, if needed, he added. “We think markets are simply resting. We’ve had a good year-to-date progression in most capital markets, and markets look a little tired,” Russell remarked. The Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449 DJIA -0.21% fell 27.02 points, or 0.2%, to 12,938.67, its first down day in four. It’s still up nearly 6% for the year.
Out of 30 Dow components, 20 closed lower. Decliners were led by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -2.45% , which fell 2.4%, as investors hammered shares of the discount retailer for a second day after it delivered quarterly profit and sales that came in short of expectations. The S&P 500 Index SPX -0.33% fell 4.55 points, or 0.3%, to 1,357.66, with financials falling hardest and energy rising the most among its 10 major sectors. Dell Inc. DELL +0.12% shares shed 5.8% a day after the personal-computer maker reported quarterly earnings short of expectations. Read more on Dell’s results. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP -0.52% declined 15.40 points, or 0.5%, to 2,933.17, extending losses to a third day. It’s up nearly 13% this year, gains that have brought it to late 2000 levels. For every two stocks advancing, nearly three fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light. On the NYSE, 729 million shares traded. NYSE composite volume was 3.6 billion, short of last year’s average of 4.3 billion. Treasury prices gained, with the benchmark 10-year note yield 10_YEAR +0.85% falling to 2%. The dollar DXY -0.10% also advanced, particularly against the yen and the British pound. Europe stocks ended lower after a survey of business activity for the euro-zone showed a surprise contraction in February.
