to caterpillars eat and coal and grow or at least the species in cold temperatures but thanks to the warmer temperatures this particular species is had to adjust their eating schedules and their genetic makeup to be able to eat and grow in warmer temperatures the new research reveals that the specific species studied caterpillars study the cold has evolved to expand the range of its ideal feeding temperatures so that it can eat at higher temperatures but while caterpillars might be adjusting well the climate change the same cannot be said for caribou species of reindeer that's because climate change and global warming are threatening their natural habitats it's part of a new study on the evolution of caribou researchers at the university of calgary pointed out the caribou need undisturbed like in rich environments to survive but as temperature warms those types of habitats are becoming few and far between cases the caterpillars and the caribou highlight the fact that some animals are able to adjust to new settings and evolve faster than others more specifically larger and more comple

just like caterpillar jp morgan's stock didn't get hit. instead it flat lined. and then it inched up ever so slightly when the news broke. just like with cat the stock tells you the estimates come down too far. sure enough soon after we learned the losses were contained at 6 billion. and that was the moment you had to buy. the stock had been cut down to $31. if you bought it right after the last round of number cuts you caught an immense rally. almost in a straight line over the next 12 months. that is a 61% gain. here is the bottom line. want to know the single most reliable sign? you wait for the moment when the estimates are so low that they can finally at last be beaten. lucky for you must always tell you when that happens as we saw with caterpillar 2009. when the estimates get slashed that is the market screaming that a bottom is probably at hand. can we go to leo in louisiana? >> jim, look we appreciate you. you helped me recoup the thousands that my so-called professional broker lost for me. >> thank you for those kind words. >> you are also helping me ma

because of the worldwide recession, caterpillar announced 22,000 layoffs. it's another company desperate for the infrastructure portion of the stimulus package. but it's also counting on other stimulus packages in china, south america, and europe... that is, unless they retaliate. >> if we have a "buy america" clause, other countries are going to have a "buy china," "buy europe," "buy brazil" clause, and they're going to discriminate against our exported products. look how thick this blade is. >> wow, this is just a huge hunk of steel. 75% of the steel in caterpillar trucks is american-made. if the company can't sell its earthmovers and mining tractors overseas, it'll buy less steel.r countries look upon it as a hostile act--and we're talking about china and russia... >> we are the largest consumer in the world of chinese-made products. they need us as much as we need them. >> he says the real hostile act is china subsidizing its steel industry. in january 2009, chinese steel plate cost half what american plate cost. dimicco claims that allows china to dump

as for the other outright loser, caterpillar, it's all about management.equipment is the best in the world. the $7.6 billion equation of bucyrus, and then the purchase of the chinese mining company era for $650 million where cat almost immediately had to write off almost the entire amount because of fraud. chinese company. they didn't know. these deals are squarely at the feet of the ceo, who belongs on the "mad money" wall of shame. why? because i think the stock would jump if he retired. despite being accurate about his forecasts for the world, he has continually pumped out too much inventory in the very places his people tell him he can't sustain the extra equipment. they've got way too much inventory in all the wrong markets. plus, his competitors are doing quite well, up 31%. united rentals has rallied 54%. cummins, the engine maker, they have still been able to increase 23%. this is all on him, and i don't think this situation can be fixed until he leaves. the board. i don't know, guys. come on. you can't be this clueless. but i don't expect to it ch

when caterpillar reported the quarter turned out to be uglier than the analysts predicted. some slashed their estimates taking them down as much as 50%. can you imagine? but, and this is important, cat's stock barely reacted to the bad news falling only slightly and instantly stabilizing and returning to where it was when the earnings announcement was issued. do you know what that is? the sign that you're looking at a bottom. right then cat was screaming look at me, look at me. all the bad news is out in me. the worst is over. calling bottoms yourself can be dangerous and sometimes the market will call the bottom for you and that's exactly what happened with caterpillar when it reported the awful numbers. the stocks barely batted an eyelash and bingo, a bottom was formed. it may seem counter intuitive to buy a stock after the estimates have been slashed. but when you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense. you want to wait until the bad news is totally baked into the share price. then you can build a position that might lead to them down the road. sure enough, cat
