It is an adjustable frequency transformer that will/can be used in place of the HVDC inter ties that are required to tie the out of sync grids together. They can also be used in areas that have severe freq differentials and keep the voltage supported. Now how much business will this equate to?? in the U.S. I can't see it as huge, there are less than a dozen HVDC inter ties that I am aware of, but if they use them to open the transmission grid in more points than they have now?? might be that it impacts the bottom line. Many utilities are very interested in the technology as it would be a perfect fit to quickly open up access to the transmission grids. Of course I am usually wrong on these things, so I would just ignore my comments. This “new” transformer they are talking about is actually a pretty neat item.

If you are intrested check out the following MWE, ETE, APL, BWP, KMR My understanding is that MLP’s are taxed at the investor level and not the entity level so the only increase you should worry about is at the individual level.

Not always true, but the mere act of doing acquisitions won't boost the stock price unless they make a spectacularly brilliant deal. They are in good position to make deals if they like, they've got $6 billion in net cash.

I've been following ticker CBE and was wondering if buying a stock which they may acquire might be a better bet. However, right now I see more downside to CBE and ABB as I believe the markets will be heading much lower in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Anyone have any opinions on acquiring stocks like CBE that ABB might acquire and that the new CEO even mentioned that he might acquire? If ABB takes over other companies, is this typically when the parent companies stock price is higher? I’ve read the new CEO of ABB mentioned the possibility of acquiring a few companies.
