NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Analysts at CIBC World Markets cut their ratings on two diversified industrial manufacturers Thursday and moved to a dimmer view of the sector, citing slowing economic growth from higher interest rates and energy prices.

Eaton's truck segment accounts for about 20% of sales and 33% of overall operating profits, and weaker heavy truck production in North America during the fourth quarter could lower the company's earnings. Production cutbacks could linger into the first quarter of 2006, CIBC said.
The analysts noted that Parker-Hannifin has improved its margins lately, especially in its international businesses. But it said the increase in commercial aerospace business, which produces lower margins, and integration costs associated with $700 million in acquisitions in the first half of Parker-Hannifin's fiscal 2006, could hamper any gains.
Eaton shares fell 1.5% to $66.54 midday, while Parker-Hannifin shares dropped 1% to $72.75.
OTC All those who used play them lost their money to the MM's or learned their lesson. That's what it is. HISC used to get hundreds of millions in volume, now it is half where those hundreds of millions traded. Same thing happens across all pennies. People are losing big time, and big bucks to a few who have program that gives them the privilege to always win no matter how a stock trades.
Yep, seems the smart thing to do with these pennies. I thought that flashlight thingy would be neat to have stuck on keys. It's still useful as a never dieing flashlight, but it doesn't do what it promises and that can make people feel betrayed, therefore, the product isn't spread by word of mouth, it dies out, and there is no trust established in the company. To tell you the truth, it feels like a dollar store item.
CDNC has a 40 mil S8
AAPL over 86 now, on its trek to par
CYBL has a flawed product-the light that attaches to a key. The light falls off easily. That put me off on the stock and makes me wonder about its legitimacy.
ATI nice buy and going up
HWG WOOHOO
MO BACK time on PBLS
Encouraging news from HMSG
AAPL exploding, 90 coming. This is the time to get in.
ATVI now close to 16, another one I caught
India Air orders 68 planes from Boeing. That means booming business for ATI. Cramer is right, ATI will be the stock of the year.
After they took your money, I don't think they cared whether or not they would still have a job
ATI 41, called it in the AM. Over 50 is not insane; on the other hand it is, because it is still very cheap for the stock.
Ah piss shit you're such a waste of time, I'm sick of being a bag holder. Go up so I can get out of you and never see your face again!
AAPL volume says 90 coming sooner than later
HWG LOL
STX you missed it @ 19 and @ 20, don't miss it @ 23
HAUP over 6 so close and certain
AAPL received $90, $100 upgrade and a lot of shorters are behind it
ATI 41 hello!
STX moving higher, it's a buy opp.
ATI voom vooom. Wish I kept my AAPL.
STX insiders hold 57.7% and institutions hold 60.75%. I don't know how that can happen, but I like it!
I must insist those driving the price of HWG up to stop. I am not in yet. HWG revenue per share 102, EPS 42.28.
OTC is boring, I've been having so much fun since I moved on to the big boards
Shoot had HWG on watch since 70 and completely overlooked it
Apple debuts Intel iMac after record sales
Tuesday January 10, 3:11 pm ET
By Duncan Martell
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News) on Tuesday introduced new Intel-powered desktop and notebook computers and said its wildly popular iPods helped drive a 63 percent jump in holiday quarter sales, sending shares up nearly 6 percent.
ADVERTISEMENT
Chief Executive Steve Jobs said the company sold 14 million iPods music and video players during the holiday quarter and 42 million to date. Speaking at the company's annual Macworld conference in San Francisco, Jobs also said the company's online iTunes store has so far sold 850 million songs.
The strong demand for iPods helped fuel a 63 percent jump in revenue to a record $5.7 billion during the holiday quarter compared with a year earlier, and near the high end of Wall Street forecasts.
Jobs also told the packed convention center that the company could have sold even more of the portable music players.
"And it still wasn't enough," Jobs said. "More iPods are on the way."
Apple also introduced new computers based on Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News) chips, the first to result from its decision to switch from IBM PowerPC chips it had used for years.
Jobs said the company's new line of iMac computers would come in the same shape and sizes as the existing G5 line of iMacs, with starting prices at $1,299.
The new Apple computers are based on Intel Core Duo microchips and are set to begin shipping on Tuesday with the entire Macintosh line moving to Intel chips this year, the company said. It also introduced a new high-end laptop called the MacBook Pro that will replace its PowerBook series, starting in February at prices beginning at $1,999.
"The new iMac is two to three times faster than the iMac G5," Jobs said in a speech introducing a range of new products that also included a remote control with FM radio capabilities for its iPod music player.
The company also updated its iLife photo and media software as a new version of its suite of digital media editing tools for use in organizing and editing music, photos and movies and Web sites. ILife, which costs $79, also includes the ability to edit high-definition videos.
While the iPod faithful focused on new products, investors cheered the company's strong holiday quarter.
Wall Street analysts on average were expecting Apple to post revenue for the fiscal first quarter ending in December of $5.04 billion compared with $3.49 billion a year ago, according to Reuters Estimates. Forecasts ranged from $4.69 billion to $5.85 billion.
"Apple blew away revenue and iPod estimates," Soleil-Cross research analyst Shannon Cross said. "And if you extrapolate the numbers, they will likely beat EPS (earnings per share) estimates as well."
The iPod devices have quickly gained the lion's share of the digital music-machine market and helped send Apple stock up 145 percent since the start of 2005.
Jupiter Research digital music analyst Michael Gartenberg said the iPod's strong holiday sales provide more evidence that rivals are having a tough time in their bid to unseat Apple as the dominant player in the digital music business.
"Apple clearly had a runaway fourth quarter --14 million is an incredible number for them to have sold," he said. "It clearly solidifies their position -- not just as the leading player, but the dominant player."
Apple has also bolstered its lead with several versions of the iPod, such as the lower-priced Nano and Shuffle. It introduced a video iPod last October along with a deal with Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS - News) to sell television shows such as "Desperate Housewives."
Analysts have credited the popularity of the devices with reversing Apple's fortunes and have also said Apple's reemergence in personal computers has hurt sales of Dell Inc. (NasdaqNM:DELL - News). Dell itself has acknowledged that the iPod has revived Apple.
Apple's growth rate in personal computer sales was the highest among the top five vendors in the third quarter, although it still has only about 4 percent of the overall personal computer market.
Apple said it sold 1.25 million of its Macintosh computers during the holiday quarter when sales at its retail stores were about $1 billion.
Apple shares were up 5.5 percent at $80.27 in afternoon trading on Nasdaq.
Congrats on TGC tuna. DNE had good news but don't know if market cap is justified, but who cares as you seem to know how to make a trade.
In STX, AAPL now has 3 days worth of volume
AAPL vol amazing-nearing half float of 210 million. I'm out, but watching closely. I say it goes to 100 as it is undervalued.
LOL somebody in high places invests in stocks. I support it.
STX I say the giant moves to 30 and beyond
Next item on the table is ATI, which should be going anytime now
