CAT, one of Cramer's infrastructure plays. Quite a lot of jobs lost between Catepillar and Home Depot, which IMO might go out of business in 2009. I read that Sears is in trouble, could possibly go out of business in 2009. I sure hope that Sears stays in business. You can purchase a nice lawnmower there for $300. They deliver TV's. Great for seniors.
IMO Sears should get TARP money. It is an institution. Prediction: They will be closing their Sears Express stores this year.
In any deep recession, well-known businesses disappear. We aren't used to this.
