Is anyone else having problems with two copies of the forum loading in one page? I seem to be having this problem in Firefox. I'm wondering if this is an isolated case or if anyone else is experiencing it.

Was there any news that pushed it higher Monday? Do you think it is fairly valued at this price?

Has anyone looked at this stock? ( yahoo ) ( Investor Relations ) I haven't done too much in depth research on this company yet. From what I've seen so far Dr. Pepper Snapple seems like a solid company that has a lot of name brands to it's name. It is a recent spin off and might be an acquisition ta...

Do you have any idea on how often the track needs to be maintained? And at what cost? (probably well below replacement costs.)
