Caterpillar, Inc. continues to make many of the large diesel engines that power commercial ships. Their construction segment is always strong and a huge boon to their overseas markets. Expect this one to be a strong performer as growth continues in foreign industrial markets.

Cat has more than tripled in price over the last 5 years if you include dividends. This is definitely a large cap stock to hold for the long term. I still expect some more downward drift in the market over the next 3 to 6 months but I expect a bottom on the DJIA somewhere in the 10500 to 11500 range. Somewhere along the way I will be buying some shares of this stock.

This is why I'm considaring selling CAT short when it reaches 90 or when the PE is over 18 and that way I'll protect my gains and enable myself to buy more on the down side. Risky play but I think the profits, and the charts and the fundamentals justify the risk.
