The other day I ran across this quote which is one of my favorite ones about the markets:“In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.”
― Benjamin Graham
I strongly believe in that concept. One clear question though is what the “short run” represents. I’d argue that over few days or even a few weeks, stocks move mostly based on how “popular” they are but if a stock stays “out-of-value” for too long, a longer term fund or asset manager will end up buying or taking a short position. That is partially what I try to do with my long & short stock picks. My USDP and long term speculative picks are much longer term in nature and depend almost entirely on the actual performance of those companies.
Any thoughts?

Union Pacific railroad chugs past weather challenges to deliver 14 per cent jump in 1Q profit
– canadianbusiness.com
OMAHA, Neb. – The harsh winter didn’t keep Union Pacific railroad from delivering 14 per cent higher quarterly profit as it hauled more agricultural, industrial and coal shipments.
The Omaha, Neb., based railroad said Thursday that it generated $1.09 billion net income, or $2.38 per share, in the first quarter. That’s up from $957 million, or $2.03 per share, a year ago.
Union Pacific’s revenue grew 7 per cent to $5.64 billion.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected Union Pacific to report earnings per share of $2.37 on $5.7 billion revenue.
Union Pacific appeared to handle the weather challenges better than eastern railroad CSX, which reported a 14 per cent drop in quarterly profit earlier this week.
Union Pacific Corp. operates 32,400 miles of track in 23 states from the Midwest to the West and Gulf coasts.
