Unit investment trusts and Index Funds are traded like stocks and go up and down with the stocks in there portfolio. A Electric Utility invests in a pool of Utilitys and never sells..So You can buy a U.N.I.T. that holds stock in Southern Uitlitys. You can trade the UNIT back and forth and even "short sell" it. Nice thing about UNITs and RIETS is that they have low maintance costs. So what I am proposing here is that there be ONE fund or UNIT that I can buy UP,BNSF,CSX,NS,CN in one sale and hold on to them and collect one dividend check.
Then there could be a another UNIT that invests in regional railroads and yet another one that invests in railroad equipment.
