Rail traffic is seasonal

2011-12-15T09:56:00.002-05:00

New Railroad Carloading Charts show minimal impact of Greek default and Hungarian political turmoil on US economy. Now Latvia. That's a different story.

ail
Rail traffic drops sharply as economic activity in industrial America came to a virtual stand-still at the end of last week. For some reason, Canadian and Mexican railroads did not slow down much. More details at railfax.transmatch.com

Who are the big owners of GS' list?

2011-11-30T11:58:00.004-05:00

A little hard to read but ask for a trial version and you can see it in all its detail.
Just the holders on the GS list with >4% of their portfolio in a particular name. This cuts out the indexers. Color shows net buyers or sellers by shares in 3Q.

These managers are the true believers in GS' fave list.

Rail traffic looking good. Esp for BNSF as coal looking strong. Good for Buffett I suspect although it will get lost in the mush at BRK.A

Here's the link to our railfax.transmatch.com graphs.

Pershing Square not so bad

2011-11-23T12:52:00.002-05:00

Ackman not so bad. Up abt 6% since 3Q. Why was he still in C? CP OTOH was good idea. Mine back in '09.

2011-11-22T11:16:00.010-05:00

Jan. 3 Update. Here's an interactive view of the railroads 13f filings for 3Q. It's pretty straightforward. Call if you want to talk about the data or software or whatever is on your mind.

GBX has had a nice rebound since 3Q. CSX sold off sharply in 3Q and hasn't gained many new friends.

UNP and CNI are core holdings. Even though Pershing Square bought a ton of CP, it's not that big a part of their portfolio.

This tells us who the indexers are....

The big rails were for sale in 3Q - look at the border color.

Out of CSX. (Not me. though)

CP caught more than Ackman's attention.

Most big owners added stock in the 3Q selloff.

Leaving for good. Close outs.

Taking a chance. New positions.

And if you are deeply interested in specific railroad traffic and operating performance check out this BNSF report.

Bad day for these shipowner owners.....

Running a steamship line is almost as tough as investing in one.

China Names Cracked Up - Risk Off

2011-11-21T15:37:00.004-05:00

Who bet big on risky Chinese companies? No surprises on the list. This is what outfits like Baillie Gifford get paid to do viz. gamble your money on wacko Chinese companies that probably won't be around in five quarters. If you can't read the smaller holders it's because you didn't download the trial version of our software. See link above and get it.

They owned FMCN. But why?

2011-11-21T14:18:00.003-05:00

Most big owners of Focus Media added to their positions in 3Q and are now hurting. The icons show the mgrs. with >3% of their portfolio in that one name. WT hey?

OTOH some mgrs. bailed out (more or less) on this name. They get stars.

5 stocks up for every 495 down....

GILD and VRUS. Cancellation Policy

2011-11-21T09:36:00.003-05:00

Great news for VRUS owners with the offer by GILD. Unless you also owned a bunch of GILD. Then it all depends. Notice that most big owners of VRUS also own GILD. And that most of them sold off GILD while VRUS did fine in 3Q. If you want to see this in detail download the trial EZviz Portfolio at the link at the top of the page.

Who did what with DNDN in 3Q?

Railroad Traffic Ticks

2011-11-10T10:11:00.005-05:00

Rail Traffic Still Pretty Strong according to Railfax. Don't get too upset by slight downturn. It's November FCS. We won't really know if there's an the impact from an Italo-Greek slowdown until next spring.

Green Mountain turning Red

2011-11-10T09:52:00.002-05:00

With 3rd Q 13fs coming in we can see that most holders were net sellers before Sept 30. Perhaps not enough. The icons show >2% portfolio in GMCR. You can't see the 3Q overweighters - Rail-Splitter, Insight and Geneva. Go download the trial and see for yourself.

Everyone was beating up on JAT yesterday because they owned most of the MoMo names that are getting killed in this bearish rotation. JAT's 2Q portfolio is down about 25%.... on the longside. Where they are really? je ne sais pas.

Too much China. Too much internet.

I asked the robot to come back with other funds that owned the same names as JAT. The usual suspects. If one sells they all sell.
