Well, it has had quite a run.

Dow stocks always pullback.
So I know you're baiting me here; I'll do a Stoney then...

"CAT has been removed from the Bare Essential portfolio. $232 (+23%)" :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

$189 to $232 in a month goes down in the savant hall of fame btw... for a Dow stock that is.
No one has ever done that before. Unheard of.
To me it was obvious though.

Just like we have a political section in the basement here Stoney, which I referred you to earlier when you were going on about Trump, Disney, and a myriad other things that have zero to do with picking winning stocks... there's also a Hall of Fame forum down there.
Of course this post will never make it down there... but just for GBA's hall of fame:

Catepillar is down 6% pre-market.
$189

Think long term
Billions and billions and billions and will be needed to rebuild Ukraine.
CAT will need to export more equipment than they ever have in their 97 year history.

CAT $189 >>>> Buy Buy Buy

When Putin dies or gets dethroned CAT will jump 25% that day.
(Of course everything will. Except oil)

I wonder if Chainsaw Al would be interested in running their grill and small appliances segment?

Blast from the past.
Al Dunlap and Sunbeam :D

He could run Stoney's Wallbox company.
 
Sunbeam
Dunlap took over as chairman and CEO of Sunbeam in 1996.[21] His methods resulted in Sunbeam's reporting record earnings of $189 million in 1997.[22]

On March 3, 1998, Sunbeam announced the acquisitions of camping gear maker Coleman Company, coffee machine maker Signature Brands (best known for making Mr. Coffee), and smoke detector maker First Alert. Sunbeam's stock rose 9% on the news.[23]

In the second quarter of 1998, the board of directors of Sunbeam investigated aggressive accounting practices and extreme discounting carried out at the direction of Dunlap. On June 13, 1998, Dunlap was fired.[24] As the fraud was further uncovered in late 1998, Sunbeam was forced a number of times to restate financial results dating back to 1996.[25][26][27]

In 2001, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Dunlap, alleging that he had engineered a massive accounting fraud. Also named in the suit were four other former Sunbeam executives and Phillip E. Harlow, the lead partner for Sunbeam's account with Arthur Andersen.[28] An SEC investigation revealed that Dunlap and others had created the impression of a greater loss in 1996 in order to make it look like the company had experienced a dramatic turnaround in 1997. By the SEC's estimate, at least $60 million of Sunbeam's 1997 earnings were fraudulent.

I'm already getting fan mail from all our readers Stoney thanking me for warning them off this call. You've said numerous times you never play in the extended sessions.... tonight was no time to cut your teeth and lead folks astray.
