I began buying UNP about a year ago, long before I knew who Ms Why-own-a LaDuke? was. It was a very, very alert reader who identified her for me.

It's a long, long story why I started accumulating UNP, but suffice it to say, Ms Why-own-a LaDuke? has moved this stock much farther along than I ever would have anticipated. Better lucky than good.

Making America great. Another open-book test.

UNP profits grew almost 30% in the last quarter (2Q18) but the CEO is not happy --

Union Pacific's second-quarter profit grew 29 percent to $1.51 billion, but rail executives said at the time that the results could have been better if not for some operational problems.
