"Now, there are only two ways to look at what is happening. One is that a global credit crunch will not only wipe out earnings but wipe out whole companies. I find that hard to believe, because there is enough business worldwide that doesn't need huge financing to keep these companies thriving, although not at the pace they once were. The other is that the managers have lost control of their money, that they sent out their returns yesterday and people saw them and they said get me out, get me out now. I think that the latter is a bigger issue than the former." - Jim Cramer

  • DE
    Deere Co
  • $33.83
  • -9.52%
  • $36.45

Sometimes I sit back and I think, is it possible that Deere (DE) could trade down to be a $10 billion dollar company? Why not? It is only a $16 billion dollar company now

People owning DE also tend to own: AAPLAATICATCOFCOPDVNGS

  • MDR
    Mcdermott Int Pan
  • $15.62
  • -16.16%
  • $17.61

These are just midsized companies now, profitable, well-run, midsized companies with lots of cash, doing very well. McDermott (MDR) and Foster Wheeler (FWLT) are $4 billion companies. Fluor's (FLR) only $8 billion. How can this be? How can it be? These are not the same companies they were when they were last this size. They are better, smarter, faster. They have great global businesses.

  • CHK
    Chesapeake Energy
  • $21.12
  • -9.43%
  • $21.86

Yet Chesapeake (CHK) is now back to where it was three years ago with natural gas at the same price, but with CHK having found far more natural gas than it had then. CHK has come down harder than the others, and If you look at a three-year chart, you will see that the others look like they have further to fall.
