Stock Buy $UNP

Selling all of the stake in Baxalta Inc. (BXLT) has opened up better opportunities for the capital to work. I hate to hold on to dead assets, or even worse liability assets. The money is either working or not, simple as that. I much prefer live assets that generate at least multiple dividend yield figures. Therefore, the best opportunity I found was to invest into Union Pacific Corp. (UNP). I find the current price point of the company is exceptionally discounted and trades at bargain prices. The numbers speak for themselves when looked deeper. Though, what I really like about the railroad industry is lack of competition and huge competitive advantage. Also, the company has paid four constant quarterly dividends and should be raising the dividend next quarter. I don’t expect a huge increase due to unknown oil concerns in the future, but I do believe it will be another good raise. Either way, the money in Union Pacific Corp. (UNP) is going to working much harder than it ever could have with Baxalta Inc. (BXLT).
