We have committed to only buying stocks with billion dollar market caps, low payout ratio, and long dividend history. Buying near the 52-week low would be nice too but not essential. ;) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.

Although UNP might not be a great value for you after the rate exchange, CNI appears to be attractive right now. The yield could be a bit higher though. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.

Wish we could say our first purchase in UNP was this low. Hopefully, it remains at these levels and allow the both of us to grab a few more shares.

Any company that's been around for over a century knows how to adapt and continue to grow. Others have been picking up UNP too. Buy at near the 52 week low... not a bad idea.
