COMMENT

Rails have done well this year. She prefers Canadian National (CNR-T). Benefits from trans-Canadian exporting. Have been taking shares from trucking. Expect rails will continue to improve with improved traffic.

BUY

Has increased their margins. Outlook for rails is very clear. Resources market needs to grow. They are going to do very well over the long term.

PARTIAL SELL

Basic freight hauling has been excellent and they’ve had a pretty good run. If you own, consider taking a little off the top.

BUY

He owns CN because of US exposure. He would be a buyer of CN over CP.

DON'T BUY

He disagrees with the markets on rails. He doesn’t see the reason to be all excited about rails. CP is more commodity related and more Canadian, whereas CN has more US presence

PARTIAL SELL

Strategically, when things move up, you can trim a little and keep the core position if you like it. He is positive on the emerging markets and this is a major shipper for that.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Canadian National Railway (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T). Both are coming in with very strong numbers on volume and yield. For a long-term hold, he would prefer CNR but would wait for a pullback on either.

DON'T BUY

Model price is $58.70, 2.5% upside only. Would prefer Canadian National (CNR-T) instead.

WEAK BUY

Economically sensitive, but have held up very well. CN is his favourite – less commodity sensitive.

TOP PICK

Looks very attractive. Down 10% at start of year. Pretty good earnings considering economy. Highly leveraged to fertilizer and grain prices. Can buy cheaper than Buffet paid for his railway. A defensive way to play a rebounding economy.

BUY

Canadian National (CNR-T) versus Canadian Pacific (CP-T) on a 4 or 5-year hold? A question he wrestles with all the time but currently he would put his cards with Canadian Pacific as he sees at benefiting from a recovery in commodities. CN is a benchmark railroad with the best operating ratio and are diversified throughout North America.

HOLD

Rail stocks are good indicators of economic activity. Rails have moved ahead of expectations. On the high end of its historical price/earnings ratio.

HOLD

Likes the rails. Preference is Canadian National (CNR-T) but this one is fine. Has risen recently on Teck Resources (TCK.B-T) announcement on coal production. Good play on global, and more particularly, North American growth. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) If you like East-West shipping of coal, grain and potash this would be a preference over CNR.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the long-term outlook very much because there is the potential for them to double earnings from $2.70 to over $5 over a 5-year period. Near-term look for further weakness.
