In "United Technologies Revs Up Its Growth Engines," Lawrence C. Strauss takes a closer look at how shares of
United Technologies Corporation
(NYSE:
UTX
), the maker of Pratt & Whitney engines and Otis elevators, could get a 20 percent return thanks to its launch of a new jet engine, new elevator contracts in China and subsiding research-and-development costs.

Brookfield Asset Management Inc
(NYSE:
BAM
) are heavily dependent on its own property valuations. Discover what Barron's found out when it put some of those estimates to the test.
