Post No. 1,565 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 recent ranking of the Dow 30 components by market capitalization and Dow 30 components' recent SEC filings.

A read of the print editions of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal, Investor's Business Daily, Financial Times, 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 Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 12,929.59 down 130.55 or 1% from Thursday's close of 13,060.14. For the year the Dow is up 5.83%. Of the 30 Dow components 2 gained and 28 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise was Hewlett-Packard and percentage-wise was McDonald's.

WSJ pC1 "Delayed punch buckles stocks" by Jon Cheng says stocks are suffering their orst stretch of the year. The trigger was a disappointing jobs reports, which had been released Fri when the market was closed.

Fin Times p22 "AOL's patent deal with Microsoft fails to staunch S&P 500 sell-off" by Arash Massoudi says AOL soared yesterday due the sale of its patents to Microsoft but the wider US market had its 2nd worst day of the year as investors reacted to Fri's gloomy jobs data that came in far below expectations. Avon picked Sheri McCoy from JNJ as CEO.

NYT pB9 "A weak jobs report sends shares lower for 4th day" by Christine Hauser says a disappointing jobs report, the latest sign of an uncertain economic recovery set off the 4th straight daily decline for stocks. Bank shares fell steeply with Bank of America off 3.25%. Industrials plunged as GE lost 1.4% and Caterpillar fell 2.17%.

Inv. Bus. Daily pA1 "Stocks slump as jobs report weights" by Vic Reklaitis says stocks maintained their recent downward trend Mon as the S&P 500 extended its losing streak to 4 straight sessions. The action was broad losses in lower trade as the current outlook is the market is in a correction.

USa Today p4B "Markets feel lingering pain of disappointing jobs report" by Bloomberg says stocks fell dragging the S&P lower following its worst week of '12 after employers added fewer jobs than forecast in march. Caterpillar fell $2.30 and GE fell 29 cents.

As of the open of the market on 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 14.49 down from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.62 (year ago it was 15.04); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.55 down from Monday's P/E estimate of 12.63 (year ago it was 12.73) and Tuesday's dividend yield is 2.60 up from Monday's dividend yield of 2.51 (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.

Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average closing numerator was 1,703.38 down 130.55 or 1% from Thursday's closing numerator of 1,725.62. 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 $56.95 down $0.57 from Thursday's average closing price of $57.52. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $51.27 (DD/HD) down $0.39 from Thursday's median closing price of $51.66. The lowest volume was 3M and the highest volume again was Bank of America.

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 $1,724 ($172,562 - $170,838).

MarketWatch Monday 4/9/12 4:12 pm by Laura Mandaro says U.S. stocks indexes fell about 1% Monday as investors reacted to the government's March jobs report, released Friday when stock markets were closed, which showed less growth than analysts expected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA -1.00% fell 130.55 points, or 1%, to 12,929.59. The S&P 500 SPX -1.14% lost 15.88 points, or 1.1%, to 1,382.2. The Nasdaq Composite COMP -1.08% lost 33.42 points, or 1.1%, to 3,047.08. Trading was light; European financial markets were closed for the Easter holiday. Investor attention this week is likely to become more attuned to corporate earnings.
