railroads

With increasing prices of gasoline and diesel, I'm wondering what people's opinions are of railways, in particular railway cargo business'. I havent researched any of this, but my theory is that companies will move away from transporting goods via trucks and move to railroads.

 

csx    bni    cp.ca    cni.ca???

 

Is my theory already factored in to todays price of railway stocks?

 

Here in Japan, many companies have said they are saving up to 30% in revenues by switching to trains over trucks for transporting goods.

Time to get on rails was way, way long time ago.  Could move higher, but the smart money bought back about 9 months ago.

 

To me, you can "trade" them only, but only after pullbacks.

 

Smart money that wants to raise cash now to bargain hunt later will sell things like rails in a heartbeat.

 

Market is brutal.......time doesn't wait.

 

Look at things that are beaten up now for later investments.......only way to do it "long term."

With the economy and the commodities going in the tank they will not have anything to transport Stay away from them the are going to be disasters
