A-B & its products have been one of the major players for a long time. I've been involved with switchgear, MCC's, and many control components over 40+ years. With mergers & acquisitions being more numerous over the years, as long as A-B equipment keeps its quality up where it has always been, they should remain a major player - regardless of who owns them now. A-B built a reputation for dependability in their lines - be a shame to go cheap & skimpy at Rockwell's direction. But it wouldn't be the first time a corporation pulled that kind of maneuver.Just an fyi. I used to sell cable assemblies to Allen Bradley. Some time after I sold my company A-B was folded back into their parent company Rockwell. Rockwell bought them in the mid 80’s and kept the name going for a long time. They now go by the trade name Rockwell Automation. But legacy products are still marketed under the A-B name. But there is no A-B stock.
AB has been part of Rockwell since sometime in the 1980s, not like anything new. Multiply generations of management since. Lotta changes over that time. You know, before trillion dollar companies like Google and Tesla even existed. But their stuff was built to last. Just got done building a rotary phase converter scavenged from old parts. Bet that AB motor contactor I used was made before Rockwell bought them. Little sanding on the contacts, good to go.A-B & its products have been one of the major players for a long time.

Not looking for its stock.
I'm up 80% on mine since you posted the tip a few months back. Thank you kindly.I made a mistake with Rocket Lab. I had 450 shares around $13.50 average. I sold 100 of them at $55 after the Sept rate cut cause I expected the market to make a downturn. I was wrong. Rocket Lab got down to around $46 after that but has ripped some faces off since then. Should not have played with that one. I know damn well Rocket Lab could be $100+ with one big contract announcement. Wish I held more than 50 shares in my Roth.

Haven't looked recently but ICHR was up 10% earlier today. I bought a bunch of that a while ago too on a tip from here. I read that Debbie Wascherman-Schultz bought a bunch, may be why its up today.
Just sold all my intc as well. Up 90% since August. IDK, hope I making the right decision. Would like to buy something now, but not sure what.
Looks like many U.S. farmers (God Bless 'em all!) could use some financial help / subsidies too. Soybean sales are in the toilet ....... hmmmm ...... droughts ....... God Bless family farmers. We buy lots of grub from local ones here.I have bought 400 shares of OSCR health lately. Another 100 today at $20. My guy says if OSCR can turn $23 into support then its going to $44.... Likely catalyst is an extension of Obamacare subsidies to end the govt shutdown.

Just heard people, including Walmart ceo stating economy is robust…..Several economists in the last few days are talking about a tech bubble close to bursting - and even used the word "crash" - referring to the stock market in general. Market climbs are slowing to small increments lately. The word "stalled" has also been mentioned, pointing to the market having been in an up-down, up-down whip-saw motion of late.
We've been re-deploying into some bond funds and dividend-payers, taking some winnings off the table & stashing them into safer harbors.
