CAT financing took a hit but they specialize in their own equipment, no inflated prices or unknown market values there. The credit crunch may stall new development but 50% of their equipment manufactured in the US is shipped elsewhere. Homegrown jobs is what everyone is about these days. Weak dollar and rebounding markets may also give CAT a boost. 4.5% dividend is also about market.
It would seem that I made a lot of people mad in previous articles, when I claimed that Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Qualcomm (QCOM) didn't deserve their current evaluations. Well, I decided to take a different approach this time, and list a few stocks that I thought were trading at a lower evaluation than they were currently worth.
In the case of HD, this one might still require a few more months to start to rebound, but I am recommending getting into it now, as it will rebound so quickly when it does.

Jenna Bush was married May 10th. Grandchildren are just around the corner for George Walker Bush. <!---->When they ask him about his presidency most likely his response will be “Honey, I shrunk the dollar.” Indeed, the dollar has been in a free-fall ever since the younger George Bush took office.

Readers of this space know that my investment bias is toward large-cap companies with demonstrated business models that have a competitive advantage in established markets, preferably with a favorable global trend as a support. And with the aforementioned in mind, Caterpillar is worth a review.
Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) is the world's No. 1 manufacturer in earth moving equipment and a leader in construction/agricultural equipment.
In general, analysts see CAT's 2008 revenue increasing 7-10% on strong international growth; North American revenue is e...
CAT seems to be a great currency hedge as a high amount of its income is earned in markets with currencies which are appreciating against the Unites State's. I am not comfortable with where commidity prices are now and how they could effect CATs demand if they fell. With that being said, I am still happy with their performance and see no reason not to buy and hold over the next year.
Cat also has had a good run and I expect that to continue. Global company with good management and large international presence. Back orders suggest continued growth and profitability. I am looking for 2...

I am short 100 shares of POT at $208.77. This trade is similar to the failed trade I made in HAL. Basically, I set a short-limit order to go short at $208 this morning. The idea is the stock is so extended that a strong open would likely pull back. Considering the market is also overbought, I will likely keep this trade open for a few days. With these types of speculative trades that go
From playing with the toy trucks and wearing the boots as a child to growing up with some of my wonderful relatives being corporate excutives for this company. I am definately willing to put my investment money on the line with this outstanding company.
Although it is a great competitor towards Halliburton (HAL), Caterpillar (CAT) also has a few areas in the the industry that (HAL) does not focus on. Let alone an old school approach for thier management, business ethics and tenure.
This company rewards thier shareholders and ensures great service in quantity and quality ...

I'm an amateur by any respects and fail in comparision with my analysis, but feeling more confident by digging into the details.
I was urged to buy based on, * Strong leadership based on the longivity of the CEO, working his way up through the ranks. It builds confidence that he knows the business and has skin in the game. * Strong earnings growth * Share buy back plan, meaning increased value * Increased presence with strong growth potential in Asia (China) * Yes a weak US market in the short term with slow growth in revenue for 2007, but great long term world growth potential l...
