BUY

(Market Call Minute.) For a longer-term investor, this is the best railway in North America.

SELL

In the short term, he would be out of the rails. Thinks they will miss the area of expectation for the next couple of quarters. They are great longer-term plays.

HOLD

Likes the rails right now. Could see some higher prices going out a couple of months. In Canada, he prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T) because of the strong demand for a lot of resources. Also have more of an East/West capacity.

HOLD

Best run railroad in North America. In the last couple of years, we have been in a commodity market and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) moves more commodities than this company. The North South business has not fared as well as the East West commodity business. In the long run, this is still the place to be.

WAIT

A lot of rail stocks had nice rallies off the January lows. This one hasn't been the absolute best one of the bunch but they have all looked a lot better. If he had to pick one, he would prefer Canadian Pacific (CP-T) because of the East/West shipping business. CN has a little bit more north/south. Rails have rallied up where there may be some price resistance. If you get a 10% increase, it would indicate acceleration.

TOP PICK

A bit of a sensitive economic call. Has held up relatively well compared to the rest of the market. Great company.

TOP PICK

Even with an economic slowdown in the US, growth in Asian and non-North American economies has driven volume growth and pricing and they have been able to benefit from this. Taking of market share from the trucking industry should continue working in their favour. Expects to see earnings growing at quite a clip by 09.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 17/07. Down 12% on total return.) Model price is eroding but his model price is $56.46, a 24% positive differential. The down side on this stock is $43.35, which he thinks is the bottom. Good risk/reward even if you wanted to buy it today.

WAIT

High on his radar screen. Looking at this and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) this would be his first choice. Cheap relative to some of the US rails. His concern is the US economy.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) In the near-term, it's a Hold, but in the long term it's a BUY.

DON'T BUY

Compared to Canadian Pacific (CP-T) it is selling at a lower P/E and the yields are comparable. In the 5 major rail companies, these two are the cheapest. If you are worried about a US slowdown, rails are the last place you want to be.

WAIT

Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are economy stocks. People are worried about the economic progress in 08 and into 09. This one is probably more exposed because they are more south of the border. Could drop further, closer to $40.

COMMENT

He has a model price of $60.51 giving it about a 30% positive differential. Volatile and there could be more downside and it could fall to $42.90.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) In a tough situation right now. They are worried about US volume. Stock has come down and is probably a good buy. He prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T).

COMMENT

By far the best railroad in North America. In the near term, because they have a lot of US exposure, will probably under perform Canadian Pacific (CP-T)..
