Forum Topics CAT CAT Minimising entry point

I purchased shares in CAT at close to ATH prices, equating to approximately 10% of my RL portfolio.

Over the last 12 months, when the share price has dropped below $1.7 I have had a falling buy conditional order set to buy a parcel of shares equal to a third of my original parcel and then setting a rising sell conditional order to sell those shares once they rise above $2.

The reason for the sell is because I would prefer to have the dry powder to invest in other areas, rather than hold the additional shares I purchased. Further, ~10% is where I'm comfortable for CAT as a portion of my portfolio.

Is this something that anyone else does, with this company or others?

If this is something someone has read up on, could someone point me in the right direction for literature?

PPH looks like another candidate for this strategy. Buy at $1.5 and sell at $1.8
