This is an incredibly important article.

I think the Greenbrier discussion provided by Michael Filloon could be applied to many other oil-related companies and investing. Remember: many (most?) SeekingAlpha articles "disappear" after some time and a subscription is required to access them.
Over at SeekingAlpha (linked article above):
That last bullet is interesting, isn't it?
- Greenbrier's stock price has pulled back 31% from its 52-week high.
- 8% of all US crude production is transported by rail.
- There is significant upside to tank car retrofits and phase outs.
- Railroads and tank car manufacturers may be somewhat insulated to a temporary pullback of oil prices.
- The rails have been a better fit to transport crude as set up times and costs are lower than pipelines.
It's a Filoon article. And it wanders (start with price dynamics and then gets into delivery modalities)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had Zeits on the mind, I guess, from an earlier story. It's been corrected. Thank you for catching that and taking the time to write. You are also correct about the meandering article; this is not the first time he has done this. That's when I re-posted it. The first time I had just read the first part. When I went back to re-read it, I realized there was a whole lot more to it, I re-posted it to remind myself to come back to it again -- the amount of information in one article is incredible.
