If I had a Million dollars... <br /> <br />I'd invest in in real estate and businesses to generate the maximum amount of return for my retirement. A $Million doesn't go nearly as far as it used to. <br /> <br />If I had unlimited wealth... <br /> <br />I would begin a leveraged buyout of the Union Pacific. Once I controlled UP I would replace the entire management team with people who know how to run a railroad. I wold run the company for 5 to 7 years and then retire after installing my hand picked successor. I would retain my seniority as an Engineer, Conductor and run any train I wanted to. It's good to be king. <br /> <br />In the meanwhile I would begin accumulating shares of CSXT and threaten to take it over. I would not take control, but I would make sure of a number of board seats. Using this as leverage I would effectively control CSX. I would run trains on CSX too and retain seniority. <br /> <br />I would also need a controlling interest in a steel mill or two and at least one good sized REIT and a few iron ore and coal mines. <br /> <br />Third, I would make sure I had several excellent business cars and a jet and a helicopter to fly me wherever I needed to go. Oh, and once "The Donald" collapses into bankruptcy, again, I'd buy his house in Florida and the one in California. I'd need a private island as well, with no railroads at all. In case I just needed a break. Oh and lots of beautiful women, that just goes with being rich, right? <br /> <br />Hey, you asked...lol.... <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br /> <br />
