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.<figure class="image"><img src="https://pub.pbkrs.com/social/2026/8957224/aqym7wh5o68wxJdViFK6wx4DCRgrtYpf.jpg?x-oss-process=style/lg" width="1216" height="2688" original-src="https://pub.pbkrs.com/social/2026/8957224/aqym7wh5o68wxJdViFK6wx4DCRgrtYpf.jpg"/></figure>

The logic behind buying Caterpillar at 25.1 was MAGA and the potential for war, which is sound. The reason I didn't hold on was because some life changes happened in April and May, and I sold almost all my positions except for Google. I didn't hold long enough to see the subsequent gains of over 2x. When life changes happen later, I won't make investment decisions. The best decision is to stick with the previous decision.
