While the tech sector is getting crushed, old-economy companies like Caterpillar are quietly thriving and hitting record highs.

## Idea

Investors are fleeing expensive tech stocks and parking their money in reliable industrial companies. Caterpillar just became one of the few Dow stocks to break $1,000 per share. As long as tech remains volatile, money should keep flowing into safe, profitable industrial names.
