RhinoStocks	This diversified consumer cyclical recently announced that its retiring a large number of equity units that were issued in March -- a deal that nets the company three-quarters of a billion dollars in fresh cash.	Love	September 28, 2009
barrons3	Do you mind if I crow that a big industrial like Illinois Tool Works (ITW - commentary - Trade Now), which has repeatedly cut its outlook, raises it today, or that I expect similar reforecasts from Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust names Johnson Controls (JCI), Cooper Industries (CBE), Emerson (EMR) and Honeywell (HON), and perhaps from Parker Hannifen (PH) and Eaton (ETN) on the heels of the ITW news?

TraderJesseFinn	Johnson Controls is the leader in a very bad auto and machine market. They are the stock when the dust settles to be in!	Love	July 27, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"If I had to own something remotely related to autos, which I'd rather not, I'd probably own this one. It's the best house in a bad neighborhood." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10515999/1/cramers-stop-trading-nat-gas-is-cheap.html" target="_blank">"Cramer's 'Mad Money Lightning Round,'" 6-15-09</a>	Love	June 16, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	"People want Sears (SHLD) because they want to play companies that will benefit coming out of a recession and are still solvent. They want Johnson Controls (JCI) because they need some play on autos because the auto market is coming back." (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=c0de89ca-5971-4549-98b6-9c1b00f99015" target="_blank">"Saftey Last," 6-1-09</a>) ... Cramer offered another trade on the back of General Motors' (GM Quote) bankruptcy filing: Johnson Controls (JCI Quote), which he said is a "very well-run company." Cramer said that Johnson Controls is a play on a turn in the auto industry. "I've been waiting for the auto industry to slow down," he said, to a point where people fill the risk is out.

ChrisJr03	This is similar to GROW. I still like the company, it just isn't getting any love. Losing 50% really isn't help my love affair with this stock; but unlike Grow, I feel this one can bounce back. Unfortunatly, the Street is ignoring JCI's other function and focusing on just the car element.	Hate	May 20, 2009
barrons3	Outperform - Price 17.49 on April 21 by Baird Securities There could be some upside to our fiscal 2009 earnings estimate of 5 cents. The March quarter was cash-flow-positive for the first time in six months [...with more than] $2 billion in excess liquidity intramonth. Outstanding commercial paper at quarter's-end was about $400 million, with no borrowings on [revolving credit]. Return to profitability [is expected] in the June quarter. The automotive business is expected to have operating losses of less than $50 million, with break-even reached in the September quarter. Market cap: $9.6 billion.	Love	April 25, 2009
barrons3	On the stocks of companies whose managers have retracted earnings guidance, buy straddles. This entails buying a put and a call that have the same strike price and expiration date. If the stock price rises or falls, the straddle could increase in value. This is a good strategy for Molex (MOLX), Johnson Controls (JCI), Applied Materials (AMAT), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Leggett & Platt (LEG), Fortune Brands (FO), Coventry Healthcare (CVH), BJ Services (BJS) and Union Pacific (UNP).

JEMCorp	Largest position in my portfolio. Am buying more for when the auto, battery and business interiors come back. Actually, I think it's just the auto interiors part that is holding this down. When the auto's recover JCI will take off. The good thing about JCI, it doesn't depend on one automaker. If one goes under sure they might lose some contracts but people will come back to buying auto's from somake maker and there will be a high probability that it will have interiors from JCI.

sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"This company is, in the end, so linked to autos I can't recommend it. "	Love	February 09, 2009
barrons3	Outperform - Price: 22.40 on Oct. 14 by R.W. Baird & Co. Initial fiscal 2009 guidance is well below expectations, reflecting rapidly deteriorating European automotive market. [However,] the company remains well positioned to capitalize on growing end markets globally and will deliver 10-15% earnings growth....We believe the shares are appropriate for long-term investors. Fiscal 2009 EPS [guidance] now seen at $1.95- $2.10 versus $2.33 the prior year and well below consensus of $2.46. We have lowered our estimate to $1.85 from $2.40. The shortfall versus guidance reflects a weaker Euro and light vehicle production assumptions on our part. Our $33 price target is based on the stock trading at 9.1 times our estimate of calendar 2009 Ebitda, the 25th percentile valuation across the S&P Industrials sector. Market cap: $13.462 billion.

barrons2	Similarly, he said, investors found out that General Motors (GM) is running out of cash, so they sold out of Johnson Controls (JCI), which makes car parts.	Love	June 27, 2008
