CSX: Bull or Bear?

CSX Zooms Higher CSX

-61.28% in 925 days Filed under: Stocks to Buy The shares of railroad CSX Corp.'s (CSX), which I first wrote about on May 1, 2009, at a price of $30.56, have zoomed higher after a summer lull, and I obviously still like the shares at this stage. Look for CSX's 2010 revenue to increase 6% to 8% in 2011, after a 15% to 17% surge in 2010. Volumes should rise 6% to 8%, and overall prices for transport services should firm, albeit with some softness in selected price categories. Any above-average U.S. or global GDP grow rates will improve CSX's performance. Continue reading CSX Zooms Higher <>CSX Zooms Higher originally ... Continue reading »

CSX: Ride the Emerging Market Growth Wave CSX

+32.37% in 103 days (closed on 12/07/10) Filed under: Stocks to Buy Railroad CSX Corp.'s (CSX) shares, which I first wrote about on May 1, 2009, at a price of $30.56, have meandered this summer at/near $50, but don't let that discourage you from considering this premiere rail play,if you can tolerate moderate risk. CSX's 2010 revenue will likely increase 12% to 15%. Volumes should rise 6% to 8%, and overall prices for transport services should firm, albeit with some softness in selected price categories, assuming the U.S. and global economic recoveries don't stall.

CSX Is Strengthening With the U.S. Economy CSX

-13.49% in 118 days (closed on 08/26/10) Filed under: Stocks to Buy Rare is the day you should ignore a railway. CSX Corporation (CSX), which I first wrote about on May 1, 2009 at a price of $30.56, fits that bill. Here's why: Look for CSX's revenue to increase 8-10% in 2010. Volumes should rise 3-4%, and overall prices for transport services should firm, albeit with some softness in selected price categories, as the U.S./global economic recoveries gain momentum in the second half of the year. Basic materials transport, including coal and scrap, should also experience healthy business gains in 2010, and the company's increased effi... Continue reading »

CSX Corp Railroad Rolls On CSX

+27.36% in 86 days (closed on 04/30/10) Filed under: Stocks to Buy I've liked the railroad sector for a while, and CSX Corp. (CSX), which I first wrote about on May 1, 2009 at a price of $30.56, looks likely to continue to move higher. Here's why: CSX's volumes should increase and overall prices for transport services should firm, albeit with some softness in selected price categories, as the U.S./global economic recoveries gain momentum in 2010. Basic materials transport, including coal and scrap, should also experience healthy business gains in 2010, and the company's increased efficiency adds to the positive story. <><>Continue read...

CSX's train is headed north CSX

-10.09% in 82 days (closed on 02/03/10) Filed under: Stocks to Buy Now that Warren Buffett likes the railroads, maybe you should consider shares in one, too, and that's one reason I'm reiterating my Buy rating for eastern U.S. railroad CSX Corporation (CSX), first recommended on May 1, 2009 at a price of $30.56. If you bought CSX in May, you're up about 56%. Since the May Buy rating, institutional investors (IIs) have been incrementally adding to their CSX positions, on the company's likely 5-7% increase in revenue for FY2010. Volumes should increase and overall prices should firm, albeit with some softness in selected price catego... Continue reading »

As expected, CSX is leaving the station CSX

+12.63% in 78 days (closed on 11/13/09) Filed under: Stocks to Buy What a difference four months make. Institutional investors have rediscovered the railroads, including CSX Corp. (NYSE: CSX). Wall Street has noticed that CSX's carloads will experience a gradual improvement in the quarters ahead, on the U.S./global recoveries. If you bought CSX when originally recommended on May 1, 2009 at $30.56, you're up about 40% - not bad, for a 'down-and-out' sector.

A Global Railroad ETF Proposal: A New Way For Investors To Ride The Rails CSX

73%

-30.83% in 70 days (closed on 10/17/08) <> 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. CSX ( CSX ) was the best performing domestic railroad in the fund, producing over a 40% return in the last year, including dividends. Rather than trying to pick individual stocks in the railroad industry, my Global Railroad ETF would provide investors with a single investment vehicle that is globally diversified and leveraged to the transport of agricultu...

Six stocks for a difficult market: Reiterating the Fab Five (plus one) CSX

-25.62% in 413 days (closed on 08/27/09) Filed under: Nucor Corp (NUE), Freep't McMoRan Copper (FCX), Stocks to Buy, Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT) The U.S. stock market's summer doldrums continue. Wednesday saw the stock market register another data point of ignominious distinction: the S & P 500 entered bear market territory -- a drop of more than 20% from its October 2007 peak. One would like to make a case for a rebound for the S&P 500 and the DJIA, but current economic fundamentals (unfortunately) make a stronger case for the opposite: sky high gasoline and oil prices, declining disposable income in several income groups, ...
