Comments on: Buy, Sell or Hold: A New Look at ABB Spotlights a Company That’s Poised to Benefit From Global Bailout Plans http://www.moneymorning.com/2009/01/19/abb-ltd/ Investment News Provider Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:36:16 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: William Patalon http://www.moneymorning.com/2009/01/19/abb-ltd/comment-page-1/#comment-14660 William Patalon Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:12:12 +0000 http://www.moneymorning.com/?p=4392#comment-14660 Hey Ray: Thanks for taking the time to comment. After reading what you said about the disclosure of ABB's problems, and really wanting to see there were problems with the story, we took a second close look. What we found was that Horacio was actually very clear about the $850 million provision, and the legal problems that prompted it. In fact, not only did he mention it quite candidly in two separate spots, we actually linked our story back to ABB's original announcement, so that readers could also take a look for themselves. Horacio detailed the matter pretty clearly in the main part of the story, which is where the link is located, and then addressed it again in his concluding comments. That covers the issue pretty well, we think. Nevertheless, we do appreciate the time that our loyal readers take to so closely peruse the articles we publish, and then to post their own comments and suggestions. We read them and take them quite seriously. So thanks again for your time and thoughts. Hey Ray: Thanks for taking the time to comment.
