then there's honeywell. i follow general dave cote into battle any day of the week and twice on sundays. a lot of times he's in summit, new jersey on sundays and that's our home town. he's in refining, safety and climate control for offices and homes. you build a lot of buildings, then you use a lot of honeywell thermostats and build planes and use their cockpit instrumentation, if you build gas refineries, you use their chemicals. i'm calling it a four star. normally we have to be skeptical about how many battlefields they've covered. not in this market. it's a virtual joint chiefs of staff. johnson & johnson and pfizer all hit new highs. these kinds of names define what we used to call blue chips, before the great recession grinded into dust so many of the stocks that we thought were blue chips. these are brand name companies with the kinds of stocks you would swap your bonds for because they are, alas, more secure than bonds. face it. ask yourself, don't you trust the full faith and credit of johnson & jo

jp morgan ceo jamie dimon, along with ceos from at&t, honeywell and northrop grumman, met at the white house yesterday. on abc news, president obama assured, "there are ways that we can harden our critical infrastructure and financial sector." the great divide continues between republicans and democrats, although house speaker john boehner is calling president obama's visit to capitol hill a good start to solving the nation's financial troubles. congressman boehner called the discussions frank and productive, as the president met with gop lawmakers behind closed doors yesterday. white house officials say mr. obama stressed the need to build trust between the two parties. the president also still believes there's an opportunity to reach a grand bargain on tax increases and spending cuts. meanwhile, europe is also facing budget friction. this week, members of the european parliament voted against a seven-year budget submitted last month by eu governments. the parliament is asking for more spending on economic growth and more flexibility to move money within the budget. now european gover

that the president said was important for his agenda, and we talked with david coty, the ceo of honeywell on his way out. he explained that a lot of the ceos were really behind what the president had to say today. >> this is a scary area. when i think about any single thing that i worry about the most when it comes to what could happen that i just don't know about, that kind of unknown threat that could just really cause pain, cyber security is it. so i'm fully supportive and so is every ceo who was in that room. >> fully supportive, but what he also said in that interview was that he wants a light touch from government in terms of regulations and requirements on cyber security for companies. now, that's something that we've heard from other ceos as well. clearly there's a little bit of a point of tension from the company's perspective over how much authority the white house and the u.s. government is going to have over cyber security issues. >> you know, eamon, we've been getting warnings about cyber attacks ever since 9/11 and yet we're still talking about it, we are still vulnerable. w

honeywell, you should buy them. if you ask me. dave coty hasn't asked me. he's the ceo.t two names are a pair of biotech stocks that we have recommended and recommended and recommended starting at the same time in 2010. they made us an awful lot of money, but may have been bigger if i'd gotten behind them earlier. biomarin, which we had on recently, up 1,197%. second best performer in the last eight years is cramer fav, salesforce.com, the king of cloud computing, up 1,049%. the visionary ceo came on the show in november of 2008 right in the midst of the financial meltdown and told us his company would be just fine. it's racked up a fabulous 660% gain. you know i think salesforce is far from finished. just announced when mark was here, that was a thing of beauty. shot the lights out. finally, eighth best performance is corp labs up 1,406%. core is a company that helps oil users get more crude out of the ground. we've been behind this for ages. they almost always come on after the quarter's reported. i first recommended it in august of 2006, rallied 284% since then. i thi

and number 2 seed honeywell beat out 11 seed deere.5 seed morgan stanley fell to number 1 seed bank of america. but there is still one debate to be settled in this region tonight, and it is between number 3 seed visa and number 7 seed citigroup. so we turn to our traders now. guy, kick it off. v or c? >> i think visa can win the whole shebang. so it stands to reason if i think they can win it all they can beat citi. we've of we've talked about visa and mastercard since the inception of this show. why? because people are spending money differently. they're not using cash anymore. they're using plastic. >> but in terms of the run zblsh that is still intact. >> visa's last year's team. citi -- playing on the away court will pull an upset and because of their away game. these guys are playing 55% outside of north america. this is still an emerging market bank. these guys have come to play this year. even though the u.s. market does a lot tore these guys at home -- >> visa is a much better play on emerging markets than citigroup is. and i'v

dupont and honeywell beating out the competition, but the battle between valero and transocean will beso, again, we go to the left side, my left side of the desk, guy? >> now this is going to fly in the face of what i just said about goldman and aig. valero's had the run and rig has not done a lot, i think 52-week high is 59. that space seems mired in the mud. although head winds have started to come across their bows, i think there's still upside. i've got to go valero, mel. >> how about you, j.j.? >> i've got to take the other side of guy again. i'm going to have to go with rig on this one. valero has had the nice run, it seems to me that transocean is going to come through on this. >> tim? >> no question, it's rig, sorry, guys. a very big deal for this company. the carl icahn thing, the pressure on the company to pay a big div, it's a catalyst on the stock. are you kidding me? here we go. >> b.k.? >> i'm not going to tie this one up. i'm with rig on this. guy actually won a street fight a while back on conocophillips and the argument was people are looking for oil. what does rig do?

dave cody of honeywell and things, these are people who have become almost household names.ift yourself up in the public eye, you're going to, perhaps, receive more arrows. >> wait a minute, that's my point. that's my point. have we been -- not we, but i'm talk about regulatoregulators, s.e.c. or banking regulators, have they been lulled to sleep by the reputation that jamie dimon enjoys on wall street and not look maybe as closely at the london whale or the bernie madoff thing as they might have otherwise? >> i don't think so, bill. i think he's been his harshest critic. i think he took the wind out of the sails in may and then again in july, and each time he's gone before, the self-flagellation. there's nobody in the industry like this. you department see ken lewis of bank of america or other people putting themselves up to this one. he has beaten himself this most. you take a look at this one, 129-page indictment of what the jpmorgan board did and how they looked at this thing, and i think the board was excellent. and yet they're very transparent in their criticism. this

honeywell is saying more than half of its revenue is overseas.re housing your patents and your copyrights on purpose overseas to avoid taxes. why not bring it home. both sides are coming in on this. here is the president last week saying a new statement about raising corporate taxes and overseas profit. >> we need to make our tax code more competitive. ending tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas. liz: the president has already said he wanted corporate tax reform. this is what he wants. we know that dividend taxes have gone up. melissa: that does not sound like the same thing he just said. that is jobs not cash. liz: he is equating higher taxes which jobs here in the united states. i'll tell you something, you know, this is a big debate in washington, d.c. exxon mobil paid a huge tax bill. when they had a tax holiday and this is what apple and other tech companies want -- melissa: everybody always says it does not work unless they are permanent. liz: that is where the debate is right now. dividend taxes have gone up. this is a debate th

honeywell says 54% of the revenues come from overseas. it's a big deal. we're going to see more of the tax breaks taken from companies. dennis: keep in mind, this is after they pay taxes on it, and we're the only major economy that when they bring it home, we want to tax it again. that's why it's left there. it's there for the shareholders. >> saying the rates, too, overseas, are lower. dennis: because we have the highest taxes in the world. thank you, liz. cheryl: appreciate it. all right. look at this. the waters off of deerfield beach in florida. thousands of black tip and spinner sharks seen migrating closing the cloture of beaches putting a -- stop the happy music. we need shark music. since the beginning of march, they migrate from bocaraton. meeting in bangkok resulted in protections for sharks that are hunted for use in chinese medicine and shark fin soup, but, yeah, so much to the trip to florida planned. i don't recommend getting in the water. dennis: the hotel pool. cheryl: exactly. is the dow the new energizer bunny? it keeps

wells fargo, exxonmobil, chevron, a general election, verizon, honeywell, you name it. the big story in the wall street journal, these guys are putting their money in the cayman islands, bermuda, other tax havens. i had the radical idea that if we deal with deficit reduction, maybe we don't cut social security and benefits to disabled veterans and medicare and medicaid and education. maybe we plug these loopholes and ask these guys to start saying -- start paying their fair share. what we do is create a deficit reduction reserve fund to promote corporate tax fairness, acknowledged this problem, and try to deal with it. madam chair, that is my amendment. >> is there further debate customer >> you might be surprised at how much we actually agree. you missed my opening statement. we all want everyone to pay their fair share. we also want more revenue. way you get more revenue is by growing the economy. i would love to wipe out the current tax code and start over with a clean piece of paper with two basic principles. raise the revenue we need, and do no economic harm. >> he
