Mad Mail question:
General question...
Q: Jim,
In addition to reinstating the uptick
rule and enforcing naked short-selling
rules, how about one more? Let’s get rid
of this quiet period in front of
earnings announcements. I believe this
was put in place before the rule
mandating public dissemination of
information. It seems outdated to me,
and it allows shorts to make legal yet
false statements about companies who are
in turn not allowed to respond.
Shouldn’t this rule be abandoned to even
the playing field for the small
investor?
-- Mauro
Jim: I think that if
you could get a couple of guys lying…
saying that they knew what they were
saying were false statements… you would
just have to bring one or two cases… now
the old SEC would never bring that case
because they were in the pockets of the
short sellers… at least metaphorically…
but you just need to bring one or two
cases and that game is over… give me a
call.

Mad Mail question:
General question...
Q: Dear Jim,
I am 24 years old and in the US Army. I
started trading stocks in February and
have since doubled my account, using
only your advice and fundamentals
training… Your unbiased advice and
outlook on how to read the market is
gold to me and I can rest assured
knowing that through watching your show
and reading your books, my family and I
will live a prosperous life.
-- Todd
Jim: Thank you Todd,
just plain old thank you… just a nice
thing, this is from an actual viewer… as
opposed to the critics that have never
seen the show.

Mad Mail question:
Honeywell
(HON)
Q: Jim,
I was doing my homework for a possible
investment in Honeywell. In reviewing
the most recent annual balance sheet, I
noticed that 1/3 of their total assets
were goodwill and without the goodwill,
the company would have had a negative
stockholders’ equity. Not to castigate
HON in particular, I’ve just never heard
you mention how you deal with goodwill
when analyzing a company’s balance
sheet. Furthermore, I didn’t hear you
mention anything about it when you last
had HON’s CEO on your program. Will you
explain it?
-- Richard
Jim: Good will
accounting is pretty complicated.. there
is, when you make acquisitions you do
tend to be able to create what looks
like a difficult balance sheet… we
should actually go to Dave Cote on that…
rather than me… rather than me opine on
the goodwill situation… but anyway, we
do like Honeywell… and we think that the
stock is a complete and utter "buy"
here.
