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 members 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.

Adding another railroad - as this one, Canadian Pacific looks to be coming off a low. Their new target is between 90 and 95. Currently at 65 (and some change).

All the rails right now imho are in a trading range with load figures still dropping per http://railfax.transmatch.com . I love the rails long-term but right now I think most are headed lower over the next couple of weeks. Will wait to buy on the dips as I have been buying them lately on the dips ...More

"All the evidence is there that the train is returning to a degree once never expected [and that] an economic and cultural tsunami is about to transform the United States," says Harvard professor John Stilgoe, author of the recently published book Train Time. "Change is everywhere along the railroads....Track is being expanded, modernized and relaid, and once-abandoned rail right-of-ways are being reclaimed. And what you are seeing now is only the beginning. The best is yet to come." Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Their new target is between 90 and 95. Currently at 65 (and some change). One of the talking heads recently talked of how "cheap" it is to transport via rail due to economies of scale related to the amount of fuel required. For example, for a truck load of commerce to deliver might be about 100 gallons of fuel. This same "fuel cost" can be used by the railroads AND deliver 50X the amount freight for the same fuel cost. Also - as coal continues to be the raw material for Steel and Energy, and we all know what is already happening in these 2 sectors - the railroads are really the only way to transport large quantities of this "much in demand" raw material. Our watch on the US railroads continues - once they drop, we will also be adding to the portfolio. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

This one is not at it's 52 week high and nothing terrible is jumping out at me. Their growth is not that great, but the low PE is there so I will chance it.
