PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 24/18, Up 28%) Freight volumes are strong. In Canada, there is the added opportunity to move oil by rail. Earnings estimates continue to grow as sales were up 15%. Free cash flow grew by 44%. He still owns it personally.

HOLD

CP-T earnings have improved with revenues up in all their businesses. He holds CNR-T instead. He would not buy more at these valuations. If you are playing the oil by rail strategy, he would prefer CNR-T as it has more incremental market opportunity as it ships south into the US. He is not adding adding to his position.

BUY

CN vs. CP CN, which he owns. It has more growth potential shipping north-south as opposed to east-west in CP. CP also has a cheaper valuation and is a little less dependent on the prices of commodities. Both perform in line though.

TOP PICK

He really likes this one because they are great operators. They have a new deal with inter-modal with a Chinese shipping company that can grow their business in inter-modal by 10-20% per year over the next 3 years. Their crude by rail has much better pricing power now. They have an opportunity to add to their multiple. They are the only one guiding to higher earnings rather than lower earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $324.36)

COMMENT

CN vs CP The major difference is CN-R goes more North-South into the US. CP-T goes more across Canada. Both trade with similar yields. He does not own either. Both are good for a long term investment. It is splitting hairs deciding on which one to have.

COMMENT

Very well run for a long time. Stable business. Stock should move around less than the market. Revenues are secure. Subject to trade considerations. If trade slows down, they'll be hit. Beneficiary of no new pipelines. Losers if car sales go down, or if we can't sell grain or soybeans to China.

BUY

Transportation is cyclical. Tends to do better October - May. Optimal time is between December - April, good rate of success. Recently, broke out of head and shoulders bottoming pattern. Went parabolic, now consolidating. Trend is still in your favour. A buy.

COMMENT

Valuations are too high among the rails, so he doesn't own any. But strong dividend growth and balance sheets. Hold, if you own. Maybe buy on a pullback.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 04/19, Up 12%) Pure pre-growth. It will go sideways along $300 for a while after bouncing since the start oft he year. It may rise during the summer, but will fall back to current levels.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 11/18, Up 14%) The rails both offer upside, though he owns neither now.

BUY

The rails are stickhandling through the economy very well. Uncertainties include China refusing some crops. This is an economy stock, and the economy is chugging along at 2%. Oil shipments out of Alberta should continue for a while. Efficiencies in new track laid continue to creep into the system. The rails will do well as long as the economy does.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 24/18, Up 15%) With a large movement of commodities in North America, this has done well. There is a big push in Canada to haul oil by rail for the next couple of years.

DON'T BUY

CP vs. CN He feels the same way about both rails (see his CP comments). CP has very good exposure to grain. It will benefit from more Alberta oil shipments. Done well reducing expenses, but both rails are selling at premium multiples, too high for him. He'd be cautious stepping into either today.

WEAK BUY

CNR-T vs. CP-T It depends on your stage of life. CNR-T is more diversified. CP-T is more Canadian concentrated. He would go with CNR-T because of this. They should do better this year. If the economy got rougher, CP-T would drop off more.

TOP PICK

If you have a pro-growth movement in markets going forward, you have to have an investment like this. They are at the core of this theme. $280 will be its next move. It has really good support at $240. It is trading at a discount to its forward PE. Everything is pointing in the right direction for this. Seasonality for rails kicks in right now. (Analysts’ price target is $300.94)
