Railway Shares....

Seriously folks! So the CEO's of the RR's, Graincos, Fertilizer Companies, Agro suppliers and advisors are all conniving crooks out to steel as much money as they can from the poor, poor farmer? Actually, they are doing exactly what they were hired for - maximize profits, return on ROI, and provide shareholder value to attract further investment. Is that not what you're trying to do? I'll ask two questions. 1. Why do you feel so powerless as a fundamental part of the chain? You were provided with many examples in the past that weren't supported. 2. Do I have a revenue problem or a spending problem? For a bunch of free enterprisers you sure sound like a bunch of socialists running to the Government. Good luck with harvest.

Tom dont tell me your keeping up with all this ellectronic stuff. Our verhicles these days all electonics so that the cheapest vehicle can have almost the options of a cadillac. Not quite the ride. Who is building the parts for all this. That is where its at.

At wallmart you can purchase cheap oil or expensive oil. If one does not price check you canget screwed at costco. Is no one smart at business?

By the way, this wasn't bitching and moaning about anything but a lost investment opportunity. Nothing to do with a lack of winter rail service....

My comments weren't aimed at you farmaholic. They were an emotive response to a couple later posts that contained words like "corrupt" and "crooks" that set me off. I'm like 'grow up'! Stocks in Canadian rr's, banks and insurance companies are our 'blue chip' stocks and you can never go wrong. I stand by previous comments.

I was thinking birk was going down at one time also. But they still controle all the info that goes to shareholders in all reports. Get it???? Dumb ****s. They get info before anyone else.

[Hopperbin]

Also shareholders only get info that they will release

Yep, cpr would've been a great investment! I bought CNR a while back, a lot of upside potential i think. Are their anymore socialists in sask.? I thought they all moved to mb.

[Oliver88]

As far as ROI, yes it would of been a good investment......but the fact remains CPR is a corrupt organization.

There is wrong-doing to some extent with every company in the world, big or small. What did they do wrong now, cut too many jobs? You can't tell me that if you ran the company that you wouldn't try to cut costs.It's a business, if they weren't shrewd they would lose money,then go broke then government would bail it out or take it over and run it like every other gov. business, at yours and mine expense. I wish people would quit complaining about the evil corporations and get on with life. The alternative to what alot of you are complaining about, is a soviet style centrally run GOV. That really worked well, yippee lets bring back the cwb. Gosh!
