this is over 2 rounds, the order may change for the beginning of the next round.
(JAC adds): One way to combine the two strategies above is to create three
corporations. Right after your third corporation is created, have it buy a
three train from each of the other corporations for high prices. Hold off
until the next stock round, and then dump the third corporation. At the
beginning of the next round, implement the 6-train and diesel strategy.

Train-wise: you should aim toward having the most permanent trains.
Especially in an extended game, he who has the most permanent trains will
almost certainly win. Simple rule: if you can afford to buy a permanent train,
don't pass it up. There are probably exceptions to this, but as rules of thumb
go, it's pretty ironclad. (RW)

No corporation should own more than one 3-train or 4-train unless you want to
dump it. (JAC)
Try to avoid having to buy a train with YOUR cash - it is usually better to
take in with the company. If nothing else, buying a train with YOUR cash
leaves the company with $0 money, so there is no flexibility for you to 'swap'
trains for $1 between companies (maybe this should be expanded on as a tip,
but it seems really obvious to me ... I guess I've played the original board
game too much ) (NB)

I like to mess with the cp's as much as they mess with me, First I check what
stocks are available on the screen. Then I check the stock market screen to
find which stocks are not resting a the bottom ledge. Now I buy 2 shares in 2
successive turns and the immediately sell both in the second turn. This will
