The market knows that the Dover Metrics tell nothing about the future of the company. What is the plan for internal growth? How are the Dover holdings going to move the company towards growth and dominance within their market place?

I agree that the dirty laundry aspect should be left for another forum but some good points are made. Look at Danaher and GE for example. What Dover lacks that GE and Danaher are committed to is growth and excellence. Look at the fundamentals behind how they got where they are and then look at Dover.
