Warren Buffett Is Still Riding the Rails WAB

73%

+3.64% in 385 days 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.

Wabtec Corp's is trending WAB

73%

-15.02% in 18 days (closed on 09/15/08) Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies make and sell for freight cars and locomotives.  Railroad transportation is a lot cheaper than air freight or trucking when oil price is at or over 100$ per barrel. The more important part of this analysis is the technical part because Wabtec is strongly trending.  Until the trend breaks, the stock is going to follow the pattern : getting higher and then doing a pullback.  That's where we are now, in a pullback.  It might seem different this time because you may think the stock will loose strength and reverse, it's always harder to make decisions in...

WAB is a BUY WAB

9 %

+20.76% in 961 days WAB's collaboration with Stone India seems to be great for both companies. We see this company as a great buy. To boot, the company recently reported fourth-quarter earnings of $26.2 million, or 53 cents a share, up from a year-ago profit of $16.3 million, or 34 cents a share. The company has had steady growth since 2004 and we believe it's very undervalued. http://www.equitybulls.com/admin/news2006/news_det.asp?id=10486 http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/News_By_Industry/Indl_Goods__Svs/Engineering/Stone_India_pens_roadmap_to_revival/articleshow/1882048.cms <>http://fi...
