<<I decided I like CAT with the falling dollar.>> Way back in the 70s CAT used to follow an annual cycle. Since it's a local company a few guys caught on to it. $20 at Christmas and $40 in July. It did that for many years. Guys would buy it and know they were going to pay cash for their new car the next summer.
