A singularly odd group of stocks in the dow jones averages that have one thing in common. Theyre the least expected winners imaginable hallelujah. Lets start with caterpillar. Over 16 year to date. We know it wont be pretty. House of pain caterpillars end markets are in gas. Earth moving, coal might know. I cant think of a worse group of customers. Plus, cat has a gigantic business in china and we know how weak china is, right . Latin america is a disaster. Quite a change from the old days. In short, caterpillar has been a great earner. Far worse than we would have thought four or five years ago. And this is a big but. Caterpillar stock already reflected a lot of the negatives coming into 2016. It was hard to come up with anything in december that made feel like the stock deserved to go higher. Worse, one month ago the company ap

Thats absolutely right, adrian. Let me just tell you where i am, im in a bit of no mans land, croatia and slo slovenia and overnight, there is a new development with the arrival of hundreds and hundreds it appears to me of refu
