I know they're like a holes but we all have em........

Cat. just announced that they were going to raise prices in Jan.2010, with that in mind would this increase Parkers sales to distributors between now and 1/10 to off-set the increases of everyday replacement parts?

That should also show up as a (false) reading in sales increases that would be corrected the next Q (Jan. 1 to Mar 31,2010)as stock piles have been a little overstocked on shelves?

Shouldn't any potential sellers wait till Dec. 09 figures come out before selling ?

Common sence and logic applied........
