Warren Buffett Is Still Riding the Rails

<>
<> As evidence of a bullish long-term outlook for railroads, Warren Buffet's Berskshire recently increased its stake in Burlington Northern (BNI) and the CEO of Kansas City Southern (KSU), Michael Haverty, appeared on Larry Kudlow's show on CNBC Thursday evening, stating that rail transport was showing continued strength in the transport of coal, chemicals, and grains with weakness in the transport of consumer goods and housing related commodities. Berkshire paid $79.65 each to add 825,000 shares of BNI, upping its stake in ...

A Mixed Trade in Transports

<> Transports have provided a safe haven for investors with the iShares Dow Transports (IYT) registering a small gain over the past year in spite of a meltdown in financials and sharp losses in the overall market averages. The gains in the Dow Transport ETF were largely the result of strong performance by the top four U.S.-based railroads by market cap which I wrote about yesterday as a bullish trade, accounting for over 30% of the stock holdings for IYT.

<> My proposed Global Railroad ETF (click on image for full-screen view) includes 28 stocks from worldwide markets with a minimum market cap of $250 million and includes companies from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

No stopping this train Graphic_rating_buy CNI

CNI reported a decent quarter in spite of a number of factors that it has been up against:

high fuel prices, bad winter, midwest flooding, drop in auto and lumber shipments

Going forward, the Prince Rupert port looks to have a positive outcome for CNI, especially with respect to agriculture shipments.  If the EJE situation can be resolved to CNI's favor, that'll be a nice pop to their stock price.

CNI is a BUY Graphic_rating_buy CNI

High gas prices will make transportation by train much more attractive. Combine this with an industry beating ROE, profit margin, low debt to equity ratio and efficient management from CNI. Titans such as Buffett and Gates are also investing in this industry.
