What happened

We are buying 25 shares of Eaton at roughly $398 each.

Why it matters

Following Tuesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 250 shares of ETN, increasing its weight in the portfolio to 2.63% from 2.38%.

Common ground

We are picking up more shares of Eaton as the stock falls less than 6% after reporting first quarter earnings.
