Is there an index for containers?
Buffet just answered half the question this morning on ABC. He said he's watching the freight train index (for more reasons then just his BNI stock).
I guess the question is, how many of those containers go from ships directly to trucks (if many), and how many go to ships to trains.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
