<> Below are nine stock picks for 2009, which are taken from the 1,000 company database of ETF Innovators [ETFI] Indexes, and which I own in my personal brokerage account. Given my cautious stance toward the economy and stock market, the picks have a defensive theme favoring the healthcare sector as a source of defensive growth companies.

<> 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 ...

 "Having spent a lot of time studying the North American transportation industry, my conclusion is that trucking is on the decline while the railroads are poised to increase market share," notes Tom Slee.
The contributing editor to Gordon Pape's Internet Wealth Builder states, "The logical conclusion: buy rail stocks now." Here he looks at Kansas City Southern (NYSE: KSU) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI). "Who would have thought it? Railways are having a good year. They were supposed to be hunkered down, riding out the recession. Instead, the old iron horse is thriving. <>"Surging d...

I thought trains were a thing of the past in America until about 5 years ago. Now just look at them--they're ultra-efficient at distrubing goods accross a big country like ours. Especially with so much of our stuff coming from Asia, making for long over-the-road trips once the merchandise hits a port. And speaking of ports, it doesn't hurt that Kansas City Southern has rights to/from what could become a major China-US port in Mexico.
