Massive growth potential, momentum in fundamentals, protection against the crisis in Europe, a clean balance sheet and few direct competitors

As housing and construction goes upward again, this stock will be one of the leaders

Infrastructure will always need to improve, this is the best play by far.

Core capital goods are on the rise, and Big Cat is at the center of it all.

There is a lot of competition among mines but they all need mining equipment and there are really only two places to get it. I think that this and JOY are the best and safest ways to play mining.

2012 10 Experts pick

As the now number 1 mining equipment company in the world they are poised to take advantage of any recovery and the accompanying demand for raw materials.

The economy is rebounding. Cat is involved worldwide. Their share will continue to increase

Global giant investing in manufacturing everywhere. The company is positioning itself nicely for good times and bad.

Global Growth

24.6% expected annual growth

Obvious, plus a new wave of sales as nat. gas. machines replace dirty diesel in a few years.

One of the few globally respected "big machine" brands. The world is due for some new roads, houses, offices .... after 4 long years of austerity.

Solid company. With the construction activities (US and Worldwide) increasing over the next two years, this is good place to be.

CAT will reap the benefits of enonomic recovery.

The best at what they do, and a vital tool for a growing population with need of infrastructure, safety, and mining.
