Investors notice things like this. As far as a merger with TFM that is for the Mexican Government and FTM share holders to decide. I don’t think they are too keen on American ownership of their railroads. Does any one have any thoughts? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Not to take the wind out of your sails to much, but return on investment (ROI) is measured on an annual basis. So, at best (not including factoring for any additional borrowing KCS has done or other events that would affect value) the return is $2.50/share/year or about 17.8% assuming a sale at $14/share after costs of purchase and sale are deducted. <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote]LC most folks would not mind a 17.8% on the year, 200% would be nice (Yahoo in 1998 &9 does not come around very often), but 17.8%, I'll take it
