Three Intermodal Transportation Stocks to Play an Economic Recovery

TAL doesn't look real good either. While the PE at 10.47 is at the low end it looks like it's forming a double top at the top of it's range. EPS looks good but flat. I would target this one around $10.75 on the dip.

Three Intermodal Transportation Stocks to Play an Economic Recovery

Talavera: Greetings and happy thanks giving. I haven't been looking locally but the snapshot for ABFS doesn't look appetizing right now. With a current EPS of $-1.88 and negative momentum I would target it at $19. Looks like it could make money Q2 2010 with a forward EPS @ $0.52. So if you have some, hold it if not wait for the dip. Got dry powder?

Midnight: Greetings and happy thanks giving. Thank you for your efforts here they are appreciated. For the first time in quite awhile I don't think we had a stick save at the close. Quite refreshing actually.

Got dry powder? With uncertainty both financial and political there will be oportunity.

Erwhan: Greetings. Excellent article and data points. I too am expecting range bound volatility and am looking at commodity stocks as I think they may be a good bet going forward. For now I am building my cash position (Dry powder) for use in new acquisitions or building on current ones in the coming year. Thank you once again.

Hi gang at least those still here. There is an interesting article at (forbes.com) regarding earnings going forward. It deals with the effects current cost cutting measures on future earnings and some other factors. Let me know what you folks think. I didn't know what to make of it.

I tried all three of my screeners and couldn't get any information on the stock other than it's last trade was $0.29. This one must be a stealth stock.

More Foreclosure Sales, Please

Consider the SC supreme court decision yesterday that effectively suspended foreclosures in that state pending review of the owners eligibility for HAMP and made the order retroactive to may when the bill was enacted. Other states are almost certain to follow suite and create an environment that will be toxic for vulture investors. Would you buy a distressed property if there was a chance that the courts would return it to the foreclosed owner pending Federal review? What about those distressed and foreclosed properties that have been sold what precedent will be set by the courts in regard to them? What impact if any will these pending court decisions have on the broader RE market and other team Obama agenda items? How will the financiers react and will their actions affect the broader equity market? No Mr. Pundit I don't think that everything is turning up roses. In fact these things may end in the RE market pushing up daisies and the agoney could well last for years.

Today's Economic Data: Feeding the Market's Bipolarity

FDR's spending approach lengthened and deepened the depression. Japans lost decade was aided and abetted by government spending and they are still hard at it and getting nowhere. As for what would or would not have happened had no action or a different course of action been taken that is pure speculation. What is certain is that no nation state in the history of the world has taxed itself to prosperity. The same can be said of massive deficits and devaluing the currency. Out of control spending beyond ones means to repay the loans is a recipe for disaster whether the spender is an individual or a nation state.

Brazilian ADRs vs. Local Shares: Is the 2% Tax Changing Things?

It would appear that many of the emerging market economies will out perform developed ones for years to come. After all they are emerging markets. Whether these markets will remain profitable for foreign investors for years to come is the $12.2T question.
