RE: Down, down , downNanic, you are correc that railroads are conservative and that is why they like a minimum of two suppliers. Anyway, I gather that the policy favouring two suppliers isn't a guess. Though I haven't seen it first hand, I gather several analysts have mentioned that this is the policy of railroads. And it stands to reason that this would be the case for a whole host of reasons.
As to Sprott, yes their 1 year forecast went down. But they have been buying lots of stock between $4 and $4.50 and as recent as yesterday. I didn't get a chance to look at today's buying.
