The same emotions a golfer feels on the course after making a double bogey is similar to the feelings investors get when they see an investment holding take a big one-day decline. Recent massive drops from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) and Boeing (NYSE: BA ) , when those stocks fell more than 11% and 7% during a single day, are just two recent examples.
But as in golf, not acting on those emotions, letting the one bad hole roll off your back, and simply playing your game and sticking to a long-term mind-set is usually the best path to take.

So which companies are likely to most greatly benefit from an eventual rise in capital spending? Firms involved in construction, business process automation, and other productivity tools. Here's a short sample, though you should keep an eye out for any companies that have a high level of sensitivity to changes in capital spending levels.
1. Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) This maker of factory automation systems has managed to boost sales less than 10% from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2012. Yet management hasn't been waiting around for business to improve. In that time, Rockwell has been investing hundreds of millions in its Logix Automation control platform, an open-source software system that enables all components of a production process control system to easily interoperate. Moreover, Rockwell's core strength in manufacturing has now been extended into the fields of energy refineries, mining, and food and beverage production. - [By Rick Munarriz]
Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK ) isn't being an automaton with its disbursements. The leading player in industrial automation and information is jacking up its quarterly payouts 11% to $0.52 a share. This may not seem like much, but string enough of these increases along and you really move the needle. Rockwell's rate has soared 80% over the past four years.

The drive toward clean energy has opened up a number of opportunities for Emerson and its peers. Through membership in the Smart Manufacturing Leadership Coalition, Emerson Process Management, as well as divisions of Honeywell (NYSE: HON ) and Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK ) , won a Department of Energy contract in March to investigate more energy-efficient manufacturing processes. Although the contract is small, the advances the coalition will produce should bolster Emerson's business prospects. Moreover, it should help Emerson hold off industry giant General Electric (NYSE: GE ) , which has returned to its roots to make a bigger splash in the electrical industry. Specifically, GE initiatives like its smart-grid technology encroach on potential growth areas for Emerson.
