Less than 4 months old, and a 50% appreciation AND dividends to boot!

I think it may be a good company, has anyone noticed how old and decrepit many railcars are nowadays? Just like with the new tanker standards, ALL single hull tankers must be scrapped by 2010, no ifs, ands or buts. The downside is that Taiwan and China are building most of the new double hull tankers, not the EU or the U.S. shipyards, though one Norway company insisted on reviving the Philly shipyards!  ;D

Yes, I'm kicking myself in the arse for not paying attention to that one, but I cannot buy IPOs when I'm in Mexico as Scottrade does not do those yet, I would have to go to a financial trading institution here in the U.S.

I would have expected profit taking by now, but I guess this company has the nation's investors attention.

Looks like RAIL is running out of steam, but darn, are those gains in the past few days a kicker or what?

Looks like it will finally be settling down as profit takers take advantage.
