TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says eventually, the credit markets will thaw, and this one will take off like a rocket.
Cheap isn't always relative. Consider the case of Shaw Group (NYSE: SGR) (Cramer's Take), the infrastructure play with the nuclear bent that has tons of business around the world building nuke plants that are competitive with oil and nat gas even at these prices, but obviously are much better ...
I am the Global Editor at MoneyShow.com and each week I interview an investing expert. This week, I spoke with Allan Nichols, editor of Morningstar InternationalInvestor, who identifies the pitfalls and opportunities in global market today.
Q. Allan, how can investors protect themselves should the financial crisis in the US result in prolonged bear markets around the world?
A. Studies have shown the majority of returns from the stock market have been concentrated over a relatively f
As readers of this site know, I am all about the infrastructure boom. Both for infrastructure growth to support the lighting speed growth in China, India, Mid East…and infrastructure repairs needed in the U.S. I am so convinced that this theme trumps all other investable themes out there that my portfolio is now concentrated on this theme, diversified only by the different components of the infrastructure buildout.
First, my conviction is based on the fact that infrastructure is the foundation of modern civilization. We must k
The company is a global leader in el. grid infrastructure building.

Furthermore, the bright outlook for the company is based on the global long-term trend of constantly rising infrastructure needs of investments and particularly in emerging markets such as China...
ABB Ltd. (ABB) finally made the move I’d hope they make! In this A.D.D. market only able to focus on 2 things, financials and oil, great things are happening at individual companies and not even registering on the radar.
One exciting investment opportunity identified through a fundamental/earnings quality screen that I run periodically is ABB Ltd. (ABB). ABB is a Swiss conglomerate that provides a wide range of products and services to the power and automation markets. A recent earnings warning from Siemens (SI), another European conglomerate that competes in similar markets, dragged the stock down in sympathy, and now trades at an earnings multiple slightly less than its long term growth rate. I felt the problems at Siemens were company specific, and the market reaction of ABB was unwarranted, creating an

I love ABB! ABB delivered a picture perfect quarter across all metrics
with net income rising 87% year-over-year to over $1 billion. Revenues
rose 29% to $7.96 billion.<!--more--> Orders rose 28% to $10.8 billion, driving
the backlog up 46% compared to a year ago. The real story for me is the
blowout of estimates of the operating-profit margin, which expanded to
15.9% while analysts had expected it to be around 13%. Who doesn’t love
expanding margins? I’ve said I’d expect to see margins expand to around
18%.
ABB maintains its 2008 growth rates of 10% in automation and15-20% in power. These
Its growth will continue to move forward as companies across the globe march more aggressively to reduce electricity energy costs and increase electricity production particularly in Brazil. ABB Group is the Best of Breed.
If it beats its conservative 41 cent earnings expectation, this stock will pop on Valentine's Day. Although it still holds a very low P/E for its upward growth, the only possible challenge to turn up is how profits translate with a strengthening Swiss franc
