CAT: Moving on up!

After a dip to under $59 last week CAT is showing steady improvement. In just over 4 trading days Caterpillar has grown from under 59 to over 62. I took a small position on CAT when it dipped under 60 and I quickly sold after it hit 61 for some quick cash. But as I see it continue to rise, I wonder if I should jump back in. There could be room for a nice long-term gain here. Analyists predict that CAT should reach 65. But I wonder if it can't go higher. If housing turns around this year, I would think the world's largest manufacturer of construction equipment should see an even larger increase. Early last year(Jan-2006), CAT was trading at over $75 a share and that was in a "housing slump." If housing hits bottom, that spells nothing but good things for CAT. Does anyone else smell 70's for CAT? Thoughts?

I like this chart, nice call on picking up shares when you did. Looking ahead short term we should see resistance at around $63 $64. I would play the stock to here, or buy the stock on a heavy volume break of $64. Interesting to note though that the stock is now trading above the 50 DMA. Will be interesting to watching Caterpillar (CAT) over this week.

Check it out, Caterpillar (CAT) broke the resistance and has had a impressive run. It is very apparent that the turning point for this stock was the gap up close to break $60 and the 50 DMA Blain.

Think CAT is a great stock

I personally like CAT due to its diversified lines of business and its great products. I like that it's both a domestic and international company. I'm disappointed by its 1.2 current ratio, but it's a well-run company so I'll let that slide.
