Caterpillar Rationale

Holding Rationale for CAT.

One day, my wife and I went to see our broker to talk things over. It was orange barrel season in Ohio(mid-April to Late November) and just couldnot get over all the construction with the bulldozers ( no, not the city workers sleeping on the job) and other heavy equipment. Our broker suggested Cat because of that and the global exposure they have and the growth once business broke. We have held it for 1.5 years now and it has not done too badly considering business conditions. But it has been treating my portfolio like a weird weather day. Every time it starts to show sun, the clouds break out and it starts to rain.
