Last year, one of those Fools, BodyByDave, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
With China in the middle of an industrial revolution, its thirst for energy, raw materials, equipment and technology is unquenchable! Many of these materials, equipment, finished products and new employees will require economical transportation. Guangshen Railway is poised to capitalize on this demand for transportation and should create a nice return for shareholders over the next 5 years.
