Global Railway IndustriesGBI.TOWEAK BUYDec 12, 2007
Plays on the infrastructure/capital-spending theme that will drive a lot of stocks over the next 5 years. Buying small private businesses such as train brakes, undercarriages, doors, etc. for rails. Thin margins but they seem to be doing OK. Prefers Greenbriar (GBX-N). Rails have been under spending on capital and this has to be resolved in the next few years.

(A Top PIck Sept 13/05. Down 43%.) One of their new operations completely fell apart this summer. Feels it is still worth $2.50.

Doesn't think they will recover. Had bad results and had excuses and initially investors believed them. He is currently short this company.

This is a bit out of the resource box. Had hit a bad quarter and people didn't have the patience to wait for the story so took a big drop. Likes it for the 3/5 year long term. In a great sort of niche business. Very profitable company. Good price.

Was worried that it was going to have problems because of steel prices, but it is doing extremely well. Had some integration issues, but thinks they are through that. Good price.
