Actually made a profit this year. Hiring and bringing back its workers. Management is doing a good job. Demand for new trailers, parts, and railcars will only mean more business for this baby. Target price: $15 in a few months

Trucks are expensive to replace, but now that since many of them are 20-30 years old, they need to be replaced. It is estimated that about 100 million more trucks will be on the road by 2015 so WNC will benefit. Take a look at recent share prices of CMI NAV and PCAR and how much they have increased in the past year. CMI was the best performer in the S&P 500. There is a clear demand that is only getting started for what these trucks carry across the country and as more and more truck fleets need to be replaced, I think WNC's share price will increase.

Trucking Companies quit buying in 2009 due to uncertainty. With the economy picking up, they have to begin buying replacements, that is a given. Trailers will not last forever. Cheap at $10, look for two bagger within the year....

They build truck trailers... and nothing short of annihilation will stop the shipping industry for this country. It is a sure thing... only devious mismanagement could make this company a loser.

World War is the only proven method for restating global economic values when insolvent imbalances occur like the ones we have today. While true a significant amount of spending for WWIII will be on cyber and space based weapons and defenses, military victory always has and always will rely upon the physical invasion and occupation of foreign territories.

It is going to be extremely hard for the U.S. to import the necessary equipment and military gear from foreign countries because A. Shipping will be severely disrupted; and B. The U.S. will be at war with some of the top manufacturing producers around the world.

Because a key objective of WWIII will be to re-balance U.S. and Asian treasury values, one way or the other these two interests have to be on opposing sides for the post-conflict banking system to work its magic.

U.S. domestic manufacturing capacity will become a necessity unless the U.S. surrenders its currency valuation without a fight. Given the spoiled nature of most American's however, it is doubtful they will acquiesce to the severe decline in living standards needed to make up for the past several decades of excesses. It is going to be even harder for the Europeans.

If the U.S. dollar survives as a currency through WWIII, investments in U.S. manufacturing companies will get a double bump. One from the war-time spending and the other from the deflation of defeated foreign currencies.

Of course if the U.S. loses, or decides not to fight at all, then any investment based on U.S. currency is going to be a huge loser for the same reasons.

Usually I like doing my own research but TSIF, UltraLong, and an unworthy spike will cause me to be a sheep on this one.

Call me a fossil, but I just love market leaders with reasonable PEs that are based in the Midwest and actually produce something tangible.
