reconstruction and saving energy will definitely help this company

Unedited excerpt from a CAPSCall article anticipated for publication on 28-MAR-2013:

The next selection for the Inflation-Protected Income Growth Portfolio is electrical equipment and industrial engineering services giant Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR). A pretty well diversified business, yet one that rarely succumbs to the conglomerate discount, Emerson’s stock had been priced a little too high to earn a position in this portfolio. Its recent pullback from that peak brings it back into the iPIG portfolio’s buy range.

A long tenured member of the dividend growth club, with over 55 years of increasing dividends, Emerson is a business with a proven history of rewarding investors for the risks they’re taking by owning the stock. While the past isn’t a guarantee of the future, a track record like that demonstrates an incredibly strong foundation that has been able to withstand wars, recessions, and the recent financial meltdown.

This company appears to be a well managed company, and I believe the stock wii take off in the two to four years.

offers a 2.7% dividend yield demonstrated confidence over the fundamentals eldewhere commericial aviation marins in aftermarken goods & services has done well electrical energy demand is starting to rise in emerging & developing economies

Decent yield, shareholder-freindly management, high growth industrial. Far better investment than either bonds or utilities.

Large diverse business that has proven itself over a long long period of time. All the numbers meet the stuff I am looking for on this profile to pick it. This equity will not cream the market on returns but over time should outperform. Great business with a great track record....take a look for yourself.

well postioned to exploit market conditions

ramer likes this company, he said the industrials are "hated." Wait for the dividend yield to rise to 4 percent before buying shares, he said.

Dividend Monk

Solid fundamentals. Benefit from revival of US manufacturing

Emerson Electric has been paying dividends for almost 65 years, has consecutively increased its dividends for over five decades. PEG Ratio, .99. Loaded with cash.

Long term gainer that I've never found the perfect entry point for but for CAPS sake I'll add from here.

12/11

Was hoping to get into this dividend growth story around 46, but may have missed the boat.

Then again, if Euroland defaults and the Euro breaks, this might be an incredible buy soon...

Adding it to my CAPS picks so I can watch it - should outperform from here nicely.

Good reliable dividend growth should do well over the long run.
