Post No. 1,602 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 as of April 15, 2012.


A read of the print editions of Tuesday's 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 a separate table of Dow component's symbol and Monday's stock prices and related data in alphabetical order.

Dow Jones Industrial Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 13,213.6 down 14.68 or 0.11% from Friday's close of 13,228.31. For the year the Dow is up 8.15%. Of the 30 Dow components 15 gained, 3M was unchanged and 14 declined. The biggest gainer dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Merck. The biggest decliner dollar-wise and percentage-wise was Caterpillar.

WSJ pC4 "For Blue Chips, an April squeaker" by Matt Jarzemsky says economic worries at home & in Spain led the Dow lower Mon but the average eked out its 7th straight monthly gain.  

NYT pB6 "S&P posts monthly loss, its 1st since Nov" by Reuters says the S&P did this as stocks slipped on signs the US economy may be slowing & as a recession in Spain highlighted risks int he euro zone.

Inv. Bus. Daily pB2 "Indexes pull back: NYSE, S&P suffer distribution" by Victor Reklaitis says stocks waved a cuation flag Mon as they dropped moderately & snapped a 4 session winning streak as the action was moderately down in mixed turnover.  The current outlook is still a confirmed uptrend.  The IBD 50 soared on news that Coke may buy Monster.

USA Today p4B "Investor worries about Spain prod US markets lower" by AP says news that Spain's economy entered anotehr recession renewed worries about the fragility of Europe's finances and nudged stocks lower.

Fin Times p24 "barnes & Noble boosted by digital book venture with Microsoft" by Arash Massoudi says shares in Barnes & Noble soared as much as 90% after it said it wold do a jv with Microsoft.

As of the open of the market on Tuesday the current divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average found at page C5 of Tuesday's Wall St. Journal is 0.132129493. Tuesday's trailing P/E ratio is 14.69 down from Monday's trailing P/E ratio of 14.81 (year ago it was 14.53); Tuesday's P/E estimate is 12.42 unchanged from yesterday's P/E estimate of 12.42 (year ago it was 12.91) and today's dividend yield is 2.48 down from yesterday's dividend yield of 2.51 (last year it was 2.30). 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 1,746.31 down 1.54 from Friday's closing numerator of 1,747.85. 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 $58.21 down $0.05 from Friday's average closing price of $58.26. The median closing price of Monday's Dow Jones Industrial Average was $52.63 (DD/HD) down $0.21 from Friday's median closing price of $52.84. 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 $154 ($174,785 - $174,631 ).

MarketWatch Mon. 4:16 by Laura Mandaro says US stocks on Monday pulled mostly lower for April, but the Dow industrials managed to score a 0.01% monthly gain to extend its run into a seventh month, its longest such stretch since Jan. 31, 2007. The benchmark indexes all fell on the day as a weak reading of business activity in Chicago prompted concern about the economy. "We did not get off to a good start with the weak Chicago PMI number," said David Rolfe, chief investment officer of Wedgewood Partners. The Dow DJIA-0.11% fell 14.68 points, or 0.1%, to end at 13,213.63. The S&P 500 Index SPX-0.39% fell 5.45 points, or 0.4%, to 1,397.91, down 0.8% for April after four consecutive months of gains. The Nasdaq Composite COMP-0.74%retreated 22.84 points, or 0.7%, to 3,046.36, down 0.8% for April, its first monthly loss in four.
