Itis one of the largest holdings of Mairs & Power Growth, an excellent mutual fund that has a fondness for companies in Minnesota. Others include Hormel (NYSE: HRL) and 3M (NYSE: MMM). That is fine compa! ny for a medium cap like C.H. Robinson Worldwide to be associated with.

• [By John Divine]

  Freight services and logistics company CH Robinson Worldwide (NASDAQ: CHRW  ) cratered 7% after shareholders failed to be impressed with the company's quarterly results. Sales came in barely higher than expected, gaining 17% year over year. Earnings, however, were down 2% from the same quarter last year. With operating expenses rising to 63% of revenue from a 59% rate last year, it's not hard to see what held back profits.

  Only one company convincingly jumped thru all the hoops: C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (CHRW).
