Mad Money’s Jim Cramer spent a lot of time praising Honeywell last night. Aerospace has not been a favorite of his in recent months, but Honeywell and their management are doing the things to keep this company triving in these difficult times.

Ockham Research Staff @ February 3, 2009 # No Comment Yet


Ockham sheds some light on our valuation of BP with its attractive 8 percent yield. Of course, investors should always investigate a high yielding stock like this to make sure that there is no danger of a dividend cut. Barring something unforeseen in the earnings report tomorrow, we think that BP’s dividend is good to go, making them an attractive buy candidate.

The newest beneficiary of a government bailout appears to be the home builders. Even as Toll Brothers reported a horrid fiscal year, the market pushed the stock higher as the rest of the market dropped. What is going on here? Where will it stop?
