TOP PICK

(His 3 Top Picks will not give you instant gratification, but are to be held for 1, 2, 3 years.) Fabulously run. More efficient and profitable than everybody else. Have 2 headwinds. 1) Biggest product they move is forestry product. 2) Exposed to the US economy because of their US operations.

DON'T BUY

Earnings for the railroads have been going down. This is partially due to the stronger Cdn$, which has weakened exports. Also, the North American economy has been slowing.

DON'T BUY

All rails have broken their up trends. The group did extremely well for a couple of years as fuel prices ran higher and a better alternative to trucking. In the short run, this group does not look good. There may be quite a bit more downside and no upside in the immediate short term.

BUY

Most efficient railway in North America. Owned for a very long time. Has by far the lowest operating ratio. Raising its dividend every year. Long term it’s a great play.

DON'T BUY

Railroads were a surprisingly great sector up until earlier this year, due to very high freight rates and a lot of commodities being shipped. Since the spring, it has not done very well and has worsened in the last few months. Would stay away from this group right now.

BUY

Long-term, he loves this one. Because of economic sensitivities, in the short run rails are a little weak.

BUY

Both CNR and CP (CP-T) are measures of the economy as a whole and overall he feels the agriculture business is fairly strong. Moving of coal, ore and resources has also been very strong.

BUY

The model price is $65.44, a 24% positive differential.

HOLD

Prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T). Great company but has more exposure to the US economy, one of the poorest performers. A large portion of their shipments is lumber, which is doing poorly. A lot of their business is based on the US$. Fairly cheap and does have a dividend.

DON'T BUY

All about the Canadian dollar, they cant beat a 21% appreciation in the Canadian dollar. Has one of the best operating managements out there. Not a whole lot of upside from here.

BUY

Bullish on the railways in general. CNR had a bit soggy earnings. (Due to the forestry sector). The rails have an increasing advantage over the highway trucking sector, because they are more efficient.

TOP PICK

Big huge US footprint. If the US economy bounces back, or even just muddles through this will do well. Economic risk, but you've got to take some risks.

SELL

Rails have been a good story. He wouldn't add, recommends reducing if you have it. Be cautious with this group, believes it has been oversold.

TOP PICK

Could be a little choppy depending on what happens in the US economy, doesn't think there will be a recession.

DON'T BUY

Slowdown in the US could be a problem for this company. Would consider looking at it a little lower. Would prefer Canadian Pacific (CP-T) at this stage.
