Default Buffet to buy a railroad.


http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Buffet...sset=&cc ode=

"NEW YORK (AP) -- The biggest name in investing is making what he calls
an "all-in wager" on the U.S. economy -- $34 billion to own a railroad
that hauls everything from corn to cars across the country.

The acquisition of Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the nation's
second-largest railroad, would be the biggest ever for Warren Buffett's
Berkshire Hathaway investment company."

-----------

My guess is Obama and company have regulation and tax policy coming that
will favor rail.
