Generall...Under what circumstances will I sell it? Generally I sell a stock when I see that they have problems which they will not be fixing anytime soon. I think this company will recover with the economy, but if it does not, I will take another look at it.<br /><br />I worry much more about cash flow then earnings. EPS is rather a fake figure. I like it that the Cash Flow per Share (CFPS) is higher than the Earnings per Share (EPS). They obviously have hope in future income as they raised the dividend 12% in 2011. It would be a bad sign if they lowered it again, or if the Dividend Payout Ratio for CFPS got too high. Industrial type companies should not have a DPR for CFPS sustained at over 40%.<br /><br />I know that analysts get upset if a company does not meet their earnings estimate. If there is any consistency in analyst estimates is that they have been wrong. Analysts tend to over or under estimates earnings. Humans are really bad at predicting the future. However, I do look at them and use them because it is all we have.<br /><br />At the moment, I am not worried about this company.<br /><br />Hopes this answers your question.SPBrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497905201043436744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338172466331766962.post-13165654487527426432012-05-12T08:35:15.493-04:002012-05-12T08:35:15.493-04:00Very interesting but under what circumstances woul...Very interesting but under what circumstances would you sell the stock?Robhttp://www.chrislederman.comnoreply@blogger.com
