Textron, Inc. (TXT)

Employees will tell you that Bell manufacturing is stuck in the 1950s. Changing CEOs (several times over the last few years) coupled with their employee unfriendly and union busting tactics, won't fix those kinds of problems. Taxpayer dollars, tax breaks and politics is all that keeps that part of the company going.

It's video meetings, and live web - airplanes are a hassle since 911

Hit new lows. Nowhere but up.

will beat estimates

Defense supplier; War won't be over quickly if at all in near future (years)

Multi-global company; earnings outlook good; TXT buyback program doubled - will help earnings. Stock split in 2007 as well as increased dividend

this stock typicly splits about every 10 yrs it split in 1984 ,1994 ,2004 i have been a stock holder since 1989 i am pleased with it preformance i have made some money with this one

I feel the financial portion of this stock is keeping it down, but it was only 7% of revenue in 2007. 67% of the revenue was from Bell and Cessna and the rest from its industrial segment. As the military keeps spending on defense, Textron should benefit.

'Haven't researched this much. I looked at the four industries this multi-industry outfit was in, and I didn't like any of them. They are definitely swimming upstream.

This one is barley edging in but the Cessna pushes them over the top.

ASV, Bell - they own companies that are indispensable to Americans

Poor people and homeless people don't fly corporate jets or helicopters!

Then the dollar is HARD so is this stock.

This company is very fair to the Shareholders!

at $9.00 it "shouldn't be going too much lower!

Huge back orders on aircraft and defense orders

If it is good enough for Mario, well you get the idea. Super Value investment.
