# Caterpillar Review

The logic for buying CAT at 25.1 was MAGA and potential war, which is sound. The reason I didn't hold on was because some life changes happened in April-May, and I sold almost all the other stocks except Google. I didn't hold long enough to wait for the subsequent 200%+ gain.

When life changes happen later on, don't make investment decisions. The best decision is to stick with the previous one.
