(NYSE:CAT) trade as well as an alert when it's time to take profits, sign up for a risk-free trial of Strategic Trader today.This morning, we're recommending a bullish trade on Caterpillar, Inc. (NYSE:CAT), the manufacturer of construction and mining equipment.Like most industrials, CAT has been the victim of the "trade war," which has put pressure on the stock as it consolidated between $120-$135 per share over the last few months.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsThere are short-term signs that the stock is starting to break out of that consolidation range, and we think this is a good opportunity for us to take a position. CAT's Fundamental Outlook is ImprovingFrom a fundamental perspective, CAT has been increasing free cash flow and earnings per share since the contraction in the energy sector in 2016. We think the stock is undervalued, especially considering the improving prospects for a U.S.-China trade deal.This is also the beginning of another round of production cuts by OPEC and OPEC+ members that is designed to send the price of oil higher again. They were eventually successful at a similar campaign in 2016-2017, which was good for U.S. domestic producers and heavy equipment manufacturers as rising prices increased demand for equipment. Inverted "Head-and-Shoulders" PatternFrom a technical perspective, CAT is just breaking through an inverted "head-and-shoulders" pattern that has bullish implications. The last time CAT completed a technical pattern like this, it rallied through most of September 2018.Daily Chart of Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT) -- Chart Source: TradingViewNow, with the fundamental picture looking good, CAT could break out of the $120-$135 range it has been in since November. We think a position in CAT makes sense, but doing it through a hedged position using short-puts allows us to control our risk to a greater degree.We can sell puts on CAT and collect premium as CAT rises.

Long-term income investors know that yield isn't everything when it comes to dividend stocks. Steadily rising payouts pay off down the road, too.Not only do rising dividends lift the yield on an investor's original cost basis, they're indicative of a firm's ability to withstand the economy's - and the market's - inevitable ups and downs."Dividend growers tend to be quality franchises built to weather diverse market environments," BlackRock portfolio manager Tony DeSpirito and now-retired BlackRock PM Robert Shearer wrote in a 2015 report. "If you think about it, these are generally high-quality businesses with ample free cash flow, and that's precisely what's needed to grow the dividend. So you have a very attractive combination of quality franchises, solid balance sheets and positive trends in cash flow and earnings."The Dividend Aristocrats are companies in Standard & Poor's 500-stock index that have raised their payouts every year for at least 25 consecutive years. They are a host of household names that offer size, longevity and familiarity, providing comfort amid market uncertainty.Here are the current 57 Dividend Aristocrats - including several new faces that were just added in January 2019. These have been among the best dividend stocks for income growth over the past few decades, and they're a great place to start if you're looking to add new dividend holdings to your long-term portfolios.
