		<description><![CDATA[Continued focus on productivity and cost containment initiatives coupled with better travel trends and lower fleet costs drove Avis Budget Group (CAR) to post better-than-expected financial results for second-quarter 2011. The quarterly earnings of $0.63 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.31 and surged more than 2.5 times from the prior-period earnings. We believe Avis Budget&#8217;s strong focus on cost reductions will help the company achieve its goal of higher operating margins. Moreover, the new sales force in the European region is expected to further augment its fiscal 2011 revenue. Further, with continued improvement in travel volume, the combination of better pricing and effective cost management will likely boost the company&#8217;s performance. Currently, we are maintaining a long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock. AVIS BUDGET GRP (CAR): Free ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning my Barchart new high screener detected price movement on Dollar Thrift Automotive Group (DTG) so I added it as a short term holding in the Barchart Van Meerten New High portfolio. Recently there have been several suitors looking to acquire this company.  In the past I&#8217;ve noticed price movement just like this and have taken advantage.  My advice is to buy and as soon as the bid is announced sell at about 98% of the bid.  Don&#8217;t hang around for a better bid or disapproval of the stock holders Technical Signals: 100% Barchart technical buy signal Trend Spotter &#8482; buy signal 13 new highs and up 12.18% in the last month 5 new highs and up 7.69% in the last 5 trading session Relative Strength Index is 85.60% ]]></description>

The fourth quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate on improved commercial rental businesses. Improved demand and supply conditions, strong performance in commercial rental and used vehicle sales, as well as solid volumes in supply chain business is expected to enhance the operating results going forward. Ryder&#8217;s continued investment in fleets and technology will fuel earnings growth in the future despite high maintenance cost.

The offer laid down by Buffet to buy the rest of Wesco includes a combination of Class-B shares (Buffet uses Class-B shares for acquisitions) and cash.

Second-quarter earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on stronger automotive volume, improved commercial rental demand and strong used vehicle sales. Ryder is planning for a better relative freight pricing market and more freight opportunities in 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[Ryder System Inc. (R), the world&#8217;s largest provider of integrated logistics and transportation solutions, reported second-quarter earnings of 58 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 49 cents. The company released its second-quarter earnings on July 22, 2010. The company’s earnings shot up 21% from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 48 cents. Stronger-than-expected earnings growth in the quarter was driven by higher commercial rental demand and stronger used vehicle sales, partially offset by the ongoing customer fleet downsizing. Net income increased 13% year over year to $30.6 million. Revenue rose 6% year over year to $1.29 billion, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.26 billion. The pass-through of higher fuel costs to customers and favorable exchange rate movements led to the solid revenue growth during the ]]></description>

The company reported earnings of 30 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Earnings exceeded the top range of management’s earnings expectations of 17 cents to 22 cents on the back of higher total revenues. In total revenue, Ryder reported an increase of 4.0% year-over-year to $1.22 billion, aided by higher fuel prices and favorable foreign exchange rate movements, though partially offset by lower fuel volumes. Total expenses went up 4.0% year-over-year, led by higher operating expenses, higher equipment rental and higher expense on subcontracted transportation, partially offset by a reduced interest expense. Segment Results Fleet Management Solutions: Operating revenue (excluding fuel) was $677.40 million, down 2% year-over-year. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Logistics and transportation solution provider Ryder System Inc. (R) is slated to release its first quarter 2010 results on April 21, before the opening bell. Management expects first quarter 2010 earnings to be in the range of 17–22 cents per share, lower than the 30 cents per share reported in the first quarter of 2009. For full year 2010, Ryder forecasts earnings to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.95 per share. The anticipated earnings growth compared with the previous year is expected as a result of improved commercial rental performance, productivity initiatives, better used-vehicle sales, stronger Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) results, lower annual pension expense and the benefit of 2009 stock repurchases. Total revenue is expected to be approximately $4.9 billion, which is flat compared with 2009. Estimate ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage on Ryder System, Inc. (R) with an Underperform recommendation. The company&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings were a nickel short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The decline was driven by decreased global results in full service lease, higher pension expense, reduced commercial rental performance and lower results from used vehicle sales. The company is planning for a better relative freight pricing market and more freight opportunities in 2010. Ryder also continues to actively evaluate its pipeline of acquisition candidates and consider share repurchase opportunities. However, the company faces a prolonged freight recession on its lease business, which will compress earnings in the near future. Our target price is $32 per share.

It is also the second largest self-storage company in North America. The impact of the decline in housing and a decrease in apartment occupancy rates appears to have ended.

		<description><![CDATA[Ryder System Inc. (R) fourth quarter earnings per share of 41 cents was short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 46 cents. Last year, the company reported earnings of $1.10 per share. The decline was driven by decreased global results in full service lease, higher pension expense, reduced commercial rental performance and lower results from used vehicle sales operations. Ryder reported total revenue of $1.25 billion, down 7% from $1.34 billion in the same period in the prior year, adversely impacted by lower fuel volumes. This was partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rate movements. Operating expenses declined 3.12% year-over-year to $576 million. Total revenue from continuing operations for the full year was $4.89 billion, down 19% from $6.0 billion in the same period of 2008. Revenue from continuing operations ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GATX Corporation’s (GMT) fourth quarter earnings of 35 cents per share were a couple of pennies below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents. A year ago, the company had reported a profit of 58 cents. GATX, which provides transportation assets to rail companies, witnessed a drain in earnings due to a weak rail market coupled with low freight rates. Total revenues declined 6.5% due to lower business at American Steamship, where revenues dropped 20% to $54 million due to a steep decline in iron ore demand for steel manufacturing (total tonnage off 40% for full-year 2009). Pre-tax earnings decreased 47% year-over-year to $21.5 million. Cost reduction efforts undertaken by GATX have led to a 7.0% decline in costs and expenses to $153.8 million from $165.6 million in the year-ago ]]></description>

However, adjusted EPS declined 60% year over year from $1.26, due to lower earnings from the Fleet Management Solutions [FMS] segment. The supply chain, warehousing and transportation solutions provider reported adjusted net income from continued operations of $28.2 million, down from $71.2 million a year ago, due to sustained declines in the commercial rental business, full service lease and used vehicle sales in the FMS segment. Consolidated revenues from continued operations, which declined 20% year over year to $1.26 billion, continue to be affected by lower fuel prices and unfavorable exchange rate swing.

With the markets pulling back, the opportunities for small-cap stocks are opening up again. We felt it was time for another look at small caps and one of the masters of contrarian investing, David Dreman. Having a contrarian view of the markets can be wildly profitable. In the last two years, I’ve: Gone long the dollar when it was in the tank… Shorted oil near its peak… Shorted the big move to Treasuries on the heels of the credit crisis… And, most recently, shorted gold at $918 an ounce.
