    U.S. economic activity is slow but holding in a steady pattern, with "really not anything that we could put our finger on to tell you that the economy is getting softer," Union Pacific (UNP) CEO Jack Koraleski says.

    put your finger on an over bearing, over reaching, over regulating, over taxing, socialistic government and a looney toons supreme court that can change its mind like the weather. bet UNP is excited about obamacare and china slowing.

    is slowing in a "steady pattern" comforting?

    Fortunately, the US economy is the best of a bad bunch, and it is recovering, albeit slowly. Emerging from a debt binge is by the stairs, not the elevator. I expect the US economy to continue slow sub-trend growth and UNP to be a beneficiary of a structural shift from road to rail. Just waiting on housing now...waiting...waitin... like the shampoo, it wont happen overnight, but it will happen! ;)
