The Company is a North American manufacturer of covered hopper and tank railcars. The Company's operate in two segments: manufacturing operations and railcar services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Railroad companies appear to have overbought railcars over the past couple years and now demand is going to drop off. This has already affected the stock price but I don't anticipate it recovering any time soon. It is also a competitve market and if Ichan may be interest in buying Greenbrier (total speculation) then that may be a better railcar stock to consider than American Railcar.

As gas prices continue climbing, look to old fashion rail transport to step up to fill the void left by the decline of the trucking company & independent truckers. The infrastructure is already in place. Look for heavier rail traffic as Americans finally face the truth & realize gas prices are never going to be $2 a gallon again!
