Dear rekan OB, Senin malam moga2 DJIA masih ngeBULL, tidak ada Ekonomi kalender
yang "berat", earning yang keluar : TXN, NVS, LLY, MRK, CFC, BOA...cuman Bank
Of America & bank2 di Eropa aja yang bingungin.
Disaat booming mining & agri, UNTR koq turun ? tidak seperti Catepillar... Coba
penjualan CAT (35%) ke Asia diganti ama UNTR.....Salam dari newbie yang nggak
bisa blanja lagi.

Caterpillar
[CAT 85.28 6.69 (+8.51%) ] is an excellent example of how global growth
is helping the bottom line of big corporations. Here's the story: global growth
is NOT decelerating to any appreciable extent; in fact, it is strong and, in
some cases, getting stronger.
Caterpillar now gets two-thirds of its sales outside the U.S.; they are
maintaining 2008 guidance even though North America looks weak, because global
sales are so strong.
Here's what happened in the last quarter:
North America up 3 percent
Europe/Australia/Middle East up 27 percent
Asia/Pacific up 35 percent
Latin America up 18 percent
More importantly, they have adjusted their regional revenue forecasts DOWN for
North America but UP for everywhere else.
Asia/Pac sales up 15-20 percent from previous up 10-15 percent
Europe/Australia/Middle East up 7-12 percent from earlier up 5-10 percent
Latin Am. up 15-20 percent from up 10-15 percent
N. America down 2 percent to up 2 percent from previous flat to +5 percent
It's not all sunshine; rising raw material costs is a real problem for them.
But the international sales are extremely encouraging.
