Buying opportunities - a view from Boston

It was a very pleasant trip driving from Toronto to Boston on Eisenhower Interstate 90 on Friday morning. For someone who checks the markets diligently before investing, ideas may come from real life experiences such as shopping or travelling.

That said, buying Caterpillar and/or Wall-Mart at the moment, or after the markets pull back, may constitute a profitable investment for the future. Eisenhower Interstate 90 was full of CAT bulldozers (doing maintenance and improvement work to the highway) and Wall-Mart trucks (hauling merchandise for the masses).
