OGR Webmaster posted:CSX stock jumped because of the "aura" surrounding the hiring of EHH and his track record of improving things at essentially linear railroads. However, his operating style was not well-suited to the spider web network of lines that is today's CSX. Their service has deteriorated badly and they've been called on the carpet for that at the NTSB more than once.
Rich,
I agree 100% with your comments. My only point is that CSX shareholders probably don't care much about whether they were given all the facts about EHH's health. They were not harmed because the stock is still up significantly even after the news of Harrison's death.
