New Orders led the way, diving 6.3 points to 39.4, and there's little letup in Input Prices, which continue to expand at 58.5. The news should refresh disappearing hopes for more rate cuts. The ASX 200 +0.9%, the aussie -0.2% to $1.0402. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/797641?source=feed#comment-14437611 14437611 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 00:18:30 -0500 CSX management guidance for a 5%-10% decline in thermal coal volumes in 2013 prompts RBC to predict the bottom of the coal market. In upgrading CSX shares to Outperform, RBC argues that the significantly low multiples at which the Eastern rails have been trading are poised to revert to more normalized levels. BMO also sees a brighter outlook for CSX on abating coal headwinds. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/781411?source=feed#comment-14136781 14136781 One far reaching possibility is that Warren Buffett has control of West coast shipments BUT is dangerously low when it comes to East coast rail. ANother positive - forget the coal, think of Oil Shale, think of carrying Oil shipments,
