Thanks for showing us where your head is at.

Nice list, I'll have to walk through it and see whether these guys affect the lives of the average consumer, who supposedly drives 70% of the economy, and where most of their labor is situated for their particular Multinational markets.

I'll be honest, I won't be buying and Jet's, Caterpillar Tractors (not new anyway), or Agricultural or Industrial Chemicals. I may need a part for my old truck in a few years, I could possibly be in the market for a 150 foot of 5/8 inch winch cable. I wouldn't buy a chinese made Briggs and Stratton ever again, since that's where they make them these days. Toro, uses Chinese Briggs motors, and they are all for show.

While your list is impressive on the surface, it really does not account for the basics. If you think Caterpiller is going to get a boom soon, I think you are mistaken. The building boom is over, there are literallyl 10,s of thousands of unused Heavy equipment sitting idle, and being sold for pennies on the dollar.

Not even a single manufacturer of innovative, thermoelectric refrigerators, Solar Panela or washing machines... Thats a pretty sad list.
