My shares go back 30+ years to Rockwell International which split into Rockwell Automation and Rockwell Collins in 2001. Each of those had numerous spinoffs. In 2018 Rockwell Collins was acquired by United Technologies (UTX) for cash and shares. United Technologies is in the process of merging with Raytheon and also spinning off two major divisions, Otis Elevator and Carrier Air Conditioning.

Among the old spinoffs were shares in auto parts company Meritor, some Boeing shares and a semiconductor maker, Conexant, which (somehow) became Skyworks Solutions (SWKS). SWKS traded at a few bucks a share a decade ago. Yesterday it closed at $125!

Virtually all those entities pay rapidly growing dividends. The two major surviving Rockwell divisions, ROK and UTX, closed at all-time highs recently on the NYSE.

The Rockwell saga is complicated, "BORING" and monumentally profitable... something Slobbering Penny Flippers wouldn't understand.

Rockwell Automation (ROK) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.01 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.92 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.11 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 4.69%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this industrial equipment and software maker would post earnings of $2.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.40, delivering a surprise of 4.80%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times."

Not sure why you are telling me this but thanks. Your stock is down 20% in the last year and is still struggling. Last week it was downgraded to underperform/sell. Insiders are selling for a reason.

One huge winner has been ROK spinoff, Skyworks Solutions which was formed from Conexant. I never paid much attention to those shares until they pulled about a 10-bagger in the past few years. What a stock ROK and its children have been!

BTW, Rockwell Collins has solidly beaten ROK this past year.

"I don't own any bank stocks except for WFC just because they are all crooks and I don't want to associate with them."

The Irish banking calamity deserves an entire chapter in textbooks on economic history. Ireland is a tiny country (4 million people) where the entire banking system consisted of just 4 or 5 huge banks. Each bank was run by ego-maniacal chaps who mostly got their positions from family/political connections. The entire country, including government banking regulators, became swept up in a real estate bubble. There were virtually no naysayers. Students need to understand the risks from situations like that.

By contrast, the U.S. banking system and economy were diverse. But it's shameful that so many of our largest banks--but not Wells Fargo-- stumbled the worst. I had a big chunk of inherited Bank of America stock, a company that survives only due to government bailout and Uncle Warren's money and prestige.

Good thing that many of our second tier bank corporations were soundly run.

I'm prejudiced against several sectors: Banking always seems to be boom and bust. I don't love tech. I know retailing well, but I only have Walgreens there.

I've never liked restaurant stocks. But recently I did a survey of publicly owned restaurant stocks and was flabbergasted to see how well most of them have done lately. Worrisome to me that both Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme are soundly beating the market! Only MCD seems to be lagging, which is nutty.

I still hold most of them. Not Costco but all the others. I even have some of my original WMT which I bought in 1978 but I sold a big percentage of it over a decade ago mainly because it represented too large of a portion of my portfolio and its market cap was just too big for sizeable sustained growth. I don't own any bank stocks except for WFC just because they are all crooks and I don't want to associate with them.

I still own FXEN but I am not sure why. I only have 1000 shares of it so I put it in the category that I can't win them all.

The only serious acquisition I have made in the past year or so has been INTC. I think it will go up over the next couple of years and there is unlikely to be much downside. In the meantime I can live with a 4% dividend.

You are correct that it as been easy to do well the past couple of years by doing nothing more than just sitting on my hands.

I was just looking at your old stocks... Costco, Wells Fargo, BAM, your truck company and more. All are doing very well with the exception of FXEN which I gather is a small holding. You still have all those?

Doing well in this stock market has been a no brainer for those who held thru the 2009 collapse (too bad quite a few sold). Heck, even a troubled company like CAT isn't being punished much. Plus smaller caps and NASDAQ have way outperformed blue chips in 2013.

Glorious years for old school (buy quality and hold) investing.

I watch people here turning over their portfolios 10 times a year every year and I wonder why they never learn.

Another board that just had its first post in 2 1/2 years is BAM. Solid company with great returns (with the BIP spinoff as an additional bonus) and nobody is interested.

For the most part, iHub doesn't appeal to real investors. Most are gamblers that like penny stocks. I suppose any of your suggestions would have some appeal and maybe ROK should do a 100 to 1 split to get the price in an area that would appeal to them. ROK appeals to people who want to make a good investment with lower risk which doesn't include penny stock gamblers. They apparently like losing money.

The BA board doesn't get the attention that the penny scams get either even though it has piled up outstanding returns. Something about quality investments just doesn't arouse the interest of these people.

Hard to beat IHUB as a contrarian indicator, right? ROK up $3 today and 350% for last 5 years plus a nice dividend, and this board has just two of us talking.

What would you suggest to get more interest here? Split ROK 10,000 times? Sponsor a race car? Sprinkle the word "ten bagger" into press releases. Hint that ROK's 22 year old technology chief Trixie had been in porn movies?

Maybe ditch auditor Deloitte & Touche for "Two Guys in Bell City."
