For all those investors out there that are always looking for the next "hot stock" or that name flying under Wall Street's radar, how does a 25-50% gain sound in just under three months? Great right? Your next question might be, what sector? Tech, emerging markets, oil related stocks? The correct answer is the sector that just keps chugging along despite a slow down in the U.S. economy. The Railroads. We reiterated our Strong Buy recommendation on Burlington Northern (ticker: BNI) and CSX Corp (ticker: CSX) following the fourth quarter earnings release. Since January 29, BNI is up 26.1% and CSX, which reported on January 22, is up a whooping 57.3%. These two companies have been our favorites in the industry for a quite some time, and our institutional investors are seeing great returns.
