By Zain Abbas - May 31, 2013 | Tickers: DHR, EMR, HON

Can 3M Sustain Its Profitability Momentum?
By siraj sarwar - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: MMM, EMR, GE
In the first quarter, it was clear that the U.S. industrial environment was in the process of improving. Executives at many companies got past the impact of the threat of the "fiscal cliff" and the sequester, or automatic federal budget cuts that were enacted earlier this year. Consumer spending, which has remained strong, accounts for 70% of the U.S. economy and it's what encourages growth in industrial more »

Still, the first quarter of the year, which saw increased stabilization, showed that demand is not headed for more »

By Penny Czarra - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: AOS, AAON, EMR, FBHS, GNRC, IR, LII, LXU, NTK, WHR
I am actually quite enthusiastic about the current economic trend in "housing." There is an obvious discrepancy between housing inventory and housing demand. "Households" are even beginning to form again. I believe this "recovery" is real, but just not as robust as many would have us think.

Investing in Emerging Markets the Safe Way
By Reuben Brewer - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: DNKN, EMR, WU
Emerging markets have underperformed so far this year according to Bloomberg, lagging “behind shares of developed economies by the most in 15 years.” While emerging markets provide long-term growth, short-term performance can be difficult to stomach. Investing in multi-national companies with large and growing businesses in emerging markets is a better way to go than direct investment.
