CSX Corp (CSX)

where in a recovery period. buy transportation.

The energy revolution(slowly underway) will benefit most railroads. CSX is well positioned in the east to take advantage of transporting agricultural waste products for biodiesel & ethanol. Thats just one small reason. I'm sure you can think of more.

Middle of the pack as far as market cap and earnings. There is still room for growth in earnings.

Transportation has always performed well when the economy is up. With the recession nearing an end, transportation stocks will only have one way to go - UP - and with the eventual increase in spending, more products will need to be shipped around the country.

rails are where it's at

Economy will make the return to growth sooner than people realize and CSX is a great play for that reason

Transportation is one of the first sectors to show life when the economy picks up. Has a large market share. Low PE ratio. I see CSX trains all the time.

Though earnings have diminished a little the past year, CSX is a great company to buy at the trough of the recession. The company has made great cost control decisions in recent quarters. This has kept earnings respectable and put the company in a great position looking forward. CSX has either met or beat earnings in the last seven reporting quarters. I look for the company to make a great comeback in the next few years.

Railroads continue to be a very economic shipping option and with oil and gas on the rise again, it will be the preferred option.

RAIL MOVES MORE AND BETTER...NOTHING BUT NET.

As the economy picks up, freight will move. Since the mid-west's economy will take longer to pick up due to auto industry collapse, east coast freight should outperform other railroads.

CSX may not be the perfect company, but they are profitable and should be increasing revenue and profits.

paid out a dividend of $0.22

Wonderful business with a large moat. I don't expect any rockets up for this stock, more like a the steady little engine that could.

As the economy grows so will the railroad freight business. Coal shipping by trains will continue to grow as we depend on clean coal more and more. Trucking cannot handle the really large shipments, our roads can't take the great weights neither can our bridges and tunnels.

Increased federal investment in rail plus the recovery of the economy in the next 3-5 years. Unlikely that other forms of shipping (air and truck) will be able to overtake rail for many consumer goods.

Nice Chart.

stimulus should help, getting into high speed rails which Obama likes.

With a bottom on oil, calling a bottom in oil-efficient transportation.

Name me any company that could start a railroad in this country from scratch and attempt to compete with these big guys. NEVER happen.
