Since they reported on Friday morning, all I've been hearing is Caterpillar reported terrible numbers and so did Honeywell, undermining the global growth thesis, causing the massive 300+ selloff in the Dow.” Ok, I own CAT, which wasn't pretty. I guess I'm just glad it didn't take a 16% shallacking like it did same quarter last year (on my birthday no less!). Honeywell however, I thought was pretty darn good given headwinds such as the massive Dreamliner 787 delay and the housing recession. The headlines on Reuters reads: Honeywell sees subprime hitting industry-paper. Just had to tag on the word “subprime” to scare the bejesus out of investors. Interesting choice of highlighting this tiny tiny part of the whole conference call. Well, why don't we focus on all the great things Honeywell did in this quarter and where we can look for opportunities? (I've already talked up Honeywell enough in my past posts and I continue to put my money where my mouth is, but we lets look at other related industries shall we?)
