It feels like it has been a really long time since I've been able to pick up shares in any sleep-like-a-baby consumer staples companies at reasonable prices. I know that you've got to take what the market is offering, and right now it is offering CMI. But it is not feeling like a no-brainer. Seems like lots of scenarios could send the share price even lower.
Sorry for the hand-wringing. Am I over-thinking it?
I'm wrestling with the same thing. I'm going to wait a bit, it wont shoot back up to the $140 range anytime soon, so there's no immediate rush for me. I'm ok with not buying at the bottom.
