not a bad swap here. I don't own any CAT and have considered it as a good stock to build a diversified income portfolio. 2.3% dividend here is not bad... especially compared to SPY. I MAY I take profits in IBM Monday.... sell 10%... Nibble at CAT and wait for the pullback I expect to perhaps get a nicer price on some more when the dividend gets juicier and ECRI's global growth indicators turn up. Thanks for the suggestion. Always interested in building a better core portfolio as I diversify out of high growth tech stocks in my explore portfolio.
