I see posts asking why CAT and other stocks are down. Here is my humble answer. Inflation and recession... Diesel is at ATH, fertilizer is at a premium. It's not just CAT and DE. I own both and talk to the farmers and construction crews. If you think about the uncertainty that is going on, people who bought this during the 2008-09 market crash have gained plenty of profit. You are seeing profit taking across the market. Many solid companies are seeing 52 week lows. That's just my opinion but fear is a powerful motivator. If it drops more buy a few more shares and set to DRIP so you get more shares at a cheaper rate. I suspect in November when the house flips and maybe the senate, we will see energy prices go down as the Reps don't have a war on fossil fuels. Have a happy and safe 4th of July. GLTA 👍

They are estimating the cost of rebuilding Ukraine at up to one trillion after the war is over. The reason for this high cost is their plans to modernize the new construction. CAT is going to play a major role in this project.

Why are CAT and DE down so much? With infurstructure and food prices going up should be good for these stocks.

Rule of thumb from an old stock trader. When markets crash in a recession or for other reasons, stocks lose half their value. That places CAT at roughly 100- 110 $ . I once bought CAT at 29$ under such circumstances. It can happen.
