Caterpillar is considered by many analysts to be the blue-chip stock of its industry and the first to attract attention when it's time to dress up a portfolio.

At around $35, the stock is at a support zone that goes back to late 2003. But for this purchase to work, CAT will have to hold above yesterday's low of $34.73 or it will violate our recent Collins-Bollinger Reversal (CBR) buy signal.

CAT's target for a near-term trade is $47.
