DON'T BUY

Kind of agnostic to the industry and under whelmed by this company. Although grains, fertilizers, etc. are being shipped, building materials, automobiles, etc. are not being shipped as much. Cdn$ appreciation has hurt them. Diesel fuels have gone through the roof.

TOP PICK

Looking ahead to an economic recovery. This and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are the cheapest in North America. Historically this has been the most efficient operator.

BUY

Likes all the North American railroads. Likes the Prince Rupert port potential for the next 3 or 4 years. Good price.

TOP PICK

Cut their forecast because of weather. That's a good time to buy a company, because weather is not a fundamental factor for them. Remains the best operator in North America. Believes global demand is going to remain reasonably strong and the railways will benefit from this. Dividend has grown 22% in the last 5 years.

BUY

Will be coming out with earnings on Monday and analyst are estimating $.65 per share for the quarter. This is a tremendous operator. Extremely good at making their numbers. Stronger Cdn$ has had an impact on expectations so the stock has suffered. If he had to pick between Canadian National and Canadian Pacific (CP-T), he would pick the latter because they are more of a bulk shipper.

HOLD

In the rail sector, he prefers and owns Canadian Pacific (CP-T) as opposed to this one. Dynamics for CP are a little more Canada centric with grain handling, coal. CNR will be hit more with the slowdown in the US. Earnings forecasts are in the neighbourhood of $3.50/$3.60 this year, going up to the $4 level next year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 2/07. Down 2 and %.) Felt the market was approaching a downturn> This was a safer and lower multiple way of playing and still have some economic sensitivity. Sold earlier this year with the intention of buying this or Canadian Pacific (CP-T) back. If reported earnings coming out are poor, stock will drop and this would be when he would buy.

COMMENT

The railroad sector is very strong right now, especially in the US. Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are not trading very well right now and he is not sure why. He prefers Canadian Pacific.

WAIT

UPS (UPS-N) announced net earnings and said the outlook is bad. That hurt all of the transportation stocks. Transportation stocks had been rallying and hadn't been acting too badly but it looks like they will roll over again. Transportation is the ”Canary in the mines” and you can get a pretty good idea of what is happening in the economy through rails, trucks and airfreight. When this stock sells off again, that is the time to Buy.

WATCH

Both Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are the kind of stocks that start off together with the bull market. Sometimes the picture does not look so exciting but they are both usually the leaders in a bull market. Once a gets past $53, this is a signal that there could be an up leg.

WEAK BUY

Good long term. Not exciting recently. Most efficient and well run. Good growth prospects. CP has less U.S exposure and more commodity exposure so it’s held up much better.

WEAK BUY

Like the rail business. One of the better run companies. May be some volatility, the strength of the Canadian dollar hurts them. It will do well in the next couple years.

BUY

The rails he likes, in both US and Canada. If you don't own it, take a hard look at CN and CP.

WEAK BUY

Like both the railroads, favour CP. The commodities boom is favourable to the Canadian railways. Worth owning.

WEAK BUY

CN and CP are both basically the same. About to begin a better year than we had for the last 6 months. Big caps such as this should recover quite well. Take defensive measures. It should start moving back up.
