A new hedge in Catepillar (CAT) is helping me a bit with the unease. Last week, CAT released a sales update that seemed to take the steam out of the celebratory optimism that has accompanied the stock for quite some time &#8211; an enthusiasm that accelerated after the U.S. Presidential election (quote from <a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4027692-caterpillars-cat-management-credit-suisse-4th-annual-industrials-conference-call-transcript?part=single\" target=\"_blank\">Seeking Alpha transcripts<\/a> &#8211; emphasis mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;Now let&#8217;s look at EPS excluding restructuring as reflected in the Thomson First Call Consensus, which is on Slide 8. <strong>In our view that current consensus of $3.25 on $38 billion of sales is too optimistic given expected headwinds<\/strong>. While we are still in the process of finalizing our 2017 plans for profit in cash flow, I wanted to review some of the headwinds that we know exist. Let&#8217;s start on the positive side of the ledger for profit. We expect $300 million to $400 million of cost reduction to carryover into 2017 from all the restructuring actions that we took this year, but now let&#8217;s look at the other side of the ledger.<\/p>\n<p>On $1 billion of lower sales versus 2016, which is reflected in the Thomson First Call Consensus, we would expect that profit impacts that\u2019s a variable margin rate of somewhere between $350 million to $450 million, variable margin as we define it as the selling price to dealers minus the variable input cost like material and labor.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The news caused the stock to drop quickly from its high of the day, and I bought a handful of January put options. CAT has done well to stabilize since then. Note well in the chart below how a Bollinger Band (BB) squeeze is developing (meaning that a big breakout, up or down, from low volatility is likely coming soon).<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37231\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/161206_CAT.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/161206_CAT.png\" alt=\"Caterpillar (CAT) gapped up 7.7% after the election and has gained an additional 4.4% since then.
