TOP PICK

Much better to run goods on rails than on trucking. Have had some really strong headwinds, especially if you look at their last quarters numbers. Bad weather and fuel issues. These things are changing over the next little while and margins will expand. Trades at a discount to its peers. Decent yield at 2%.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) is the better managed company but this one trades at 1 to 1.5 discount to CN. Rails benefit from growth in the emerging markets. $0.30 a share in dividends. Likes both companies.

DON'T BUY

Owns and prefers CNR-T, which has a better cost and is north south, not east west. CNR raised dividend when CP profit warned because of severe winter weather. CP is not cheap enough to switch to at this time.

TOP PICK

Great Canadian infrastructure. Relatively cheap. Moving things by rail is going to be essential in the next 10-20 years.

TOP PICK

Always has operating issues. With high oil prices, freight does better than trucking so instead of having a head wind they have a tail wind. Global economy is expanding. Got hurt last quarter because of weather related issues. Feels it is set to not only have great earnings but actually have increased cash flow and possibly increased dividends over the next couple of years.

DON'T BUY

Prefers CNR. CP had a hiccup with it being a bad winter. CP is east/west and CNR is north/south. He finds CP a little expensive.

BUY

Starting to drop but thinks it is all right. Major trend has not been violated. In a channel and the trend is still up. It will be a beneficiary of the Japanese event or anything going to Asia. Rail stocks still look firm.

TOP PICK

Trading at a discount to Canadian National (CNR-T) on a number of metrics. Interesting way to play recovery in volume in bulk, particularly grain and coal. Management has committed to lowering costs. Sold off recently.

DON'T BUY

Doesn’t see a big increase in the price of any of the rails. Cost containment processes have not been as good as CNR. There is better growth down the road. We are at the top end of the range of PE ratio. They have the headwinds of higher fuel costs. You can’t go wrong long term with this type of stock but doesn’t see potential in the next 6-12 months.

COMMENT

Exec VP Ed Harris announced his retirement and the stock pulled back. He likes and will continue o Hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Feb 22/10, Up 27.30%) Smartest investor in the world bought a railroad. This is way he bought the stock. He doesn’t see them adding much more hear.

BUY

Had a great year in 2010 on the back of continued volume strength in the resource sector. Expects volumes to continue, especially in the coal and potash. Management is focused on reducing costs and upgrading margins. Expecting more upside than on Canadian National (CNR-T).

COMMENT

Grain and Coal, East to West Canada. Prefers Union Pacific.

BUY

Bullish on the railways. Another way to play commodities. Prefers this one to CN (CNR-T) but not sure there is a huge difference between them. This company made a very nice deal into the powder basin in Wyoming giving it an opportunity to ship an enormous amount of coal.

WEAK BUY

Very good earnings recovery. Last quarter was good but not quite great enough for this market. He has been looking for a little more juice, but you would be fine with this name.
