RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:SPAre you saying that textron is in the same relatively same boat as BBD all thing equal apart from the fact that shorting rules in the USA is markedly different than here where counterfeiting of shares is permitted.
textron has a long term debt of 3.5 billion which was lowered by 10% from the year before and with net profit of 921 million.
