Abstract

The author expresses his thoughts on railroad stocks in the U.S. as of October 15, 1953. He discusses the strong interest of investors for railroad stocks. He says that the greater price volatility of railroad securities is the natural reflection of earnings fluctuations. The author mentions that the combination of lower revenues and increasing wage costs could cut net earnings of the industry from 1953 to 1954.
