re: "which is infinitely more useful than" You must have forgotton two words -- "to me" as in "which is infinitely more useful to me than" Because otherwise, it reads as if you have decided what's more useful to the thread and what is less useful to the thread. The thread's been down this road before, where people tell me as moderator they won't post anymore because they feel their ideas get no respect or are disparaged. So please understand that others may refrain from from mentioning stocks if they come to believe the thread has no interest in their methodology or that readers value that methodology so lowly. I assume most of us here are looking for stock ideas, so we do want many different eyes to spot as many rocks in the value field as possible that we independently turn over to see if they are value stocks for our own appropriate purchasing.

Thanks for the feedback. DCF was the wrong valuation method in retrospect. Prices seem to suggest a permanent market decline for these companies. Not sure if that's correct. RAIL's chart looks like it's entered a period of consolidation for the past 4 months or so. Would it be worth risking a buy at these levels and placing a stop loss on a break to new lows? Would be risking max 10% from current levels ignoring spike to 12.50 after earnings. Very strong balance sheet makes me think it could be a takeover candidate but who knows.
