barrons3	I have said that Trinity (TRN) is a way to play towers, and Owens Corning (OC) for insulation and composites to make wind blades. But those can't put many people to work, either. In short, the green plan doesn't work like a brown plan and a nuke plan, and Obama didn't seize the moment as I believe China will.	Love	January 08, 2009
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"We know that energy has come down a lot and that's destroying Trinity's wind business. And with China disappearing, their railcars are hurting too. That's a "don't buy" right now."	Love	December 05, 2008

barrons3	With so much of last week's selloff driven by hedge fund redemptions, Cramer said the time is right to buy wind power plays Trinity Industries (TRN) and Broadwind Energy (BWEN), both of which have have seen their shares beaten down by hedge funds.	Love	October 16, 2008

JDogg	Windex. I am watching close. America has to put there money somewhere, and housing is no longer the place, tech's had there run.	Love	August 22, 2008
e_cruiser	It's set up for a short squeeze.	Love	August 18, 2008
barrons2	I sense that everything from the wind power division of Otter Tail (OTTR) to Broadwind Energy could be vulnerable to takeovers. I own Trinity (TRN) because I believe that inside of Trinity is a dynamic wind business with a huge wind backlog.	Love	July 31, 2008
Robdogg42	This is a play on wind, not so much the rail car company the business has been known for. Boone Pickens Plan will help to boost this position. I also hold OTTR Calls as a suppliment to the TRN position.	Love	July 23, 2008
barrons2	Last week's nod from the Texas Utility Commission is good news for Trinity Industries (TRN), which has a small unit making wind towers. Trinity also makes everything from railcars to barges, and fading railcar demand had sent shares down 27% over the past year.When the Dallas company reports earnings July 30, expect to hear about how surging raw materials and economic deceleration have affected margins. After all, the CEO of a rival company recently bemoaned how everything railcar-related -- from pricing to demand -- "stinks." But Trinity's cyclical rail business is moderated by a growing leasing and management-services unit, and downside risk is offset by the wind boom. Trinity's wind-energy backlog had surged 128% to nearly $1.6 billion in the first quarter, and its valuation should continue to expand with that backlog. At 35, shares trade at 10.8 times 2008 earnings and 1.6 times book value, compared with 12.1 times earnings and 4.1 times book for other machinery stocks -- chiefly as investors fret about slowing railcars. "We believe investors should focus on Trinity's diversification and wind-energy catalysts," notes KeyBanc analyst Steve Barger, who has a 48 price target on the stock.	Love	July 19, 2008

barrons2	The "Mad Money" Wind-ex includes Trinity Industries (TRN), a stock which Jim owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, which is down 19.7%. Cramer said the poor performance of the Wind-ex stocks has nothing to do with the wind power business, but rather with the industrial components of all of the companies. He reminded viewers that as wind power accounts for larger portions of their earnings, the other divisions will account for less. He views the current weakness in the stocks as a valid pullback and a buying opportunity.	Love	July 17, 2008
