It's tough. You have to just do your due diligence.

Textainer's website has pretty good information for shareholders (or prospective share holders). The conference calls are posted there, and their presentations posted there also provide good guidance as to their current situation and the industry's current situation.

But since it has such low volume (such a little following) and it has such a large dividend, it trades in waves. I recently rode it up from 12.62 to almost 15. I think the company's worth more, but the market tends to bounce the value of the stock around based on the dividend. I'm not holding the stock now, but think I'll get back in in late October if it's still in the 11 - 14 range as long as there's not too much of a change in their business situation.
