BUY

Approval to make a recent acquisition but now they have to spend considerable money to expand rail lines.

COMMENT

Bulk carrier of commodities. Ran into some problems with congestions in the Port of Vancouver. Mis-planned on having cars available. Cost of fuel has hit them reasonably hard.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 29/07. Down 14%.) Stock is down because the fuel price was up. Auto and lumber shipping was down. This is a western Canadian play. Still likes.

DON'T BUY

Not particularly interested in either Canadian National Rail (CNR-T) or Canadian Pacific (CP-T).

DON'T BUY

Rails are not particularly attractive to him right now. Earnings are de-accelerating and on a year over basis will be negative. Valuations are not particularly attractive.

BUY

Likes the rail stocks in general. Taking market share from the trucking business. Came through a really tough period and yet earnings are missing expectations by only a slight amount.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Would look at buying it but don't expect any substantial performance in the near term.

TOP PICK

Top Short Last quarter was their 1st miss in some time but it was a big one. Cockroach theory is that if you see one, there’s another behind the fridge. Increased costs and reduced volumes are a problem.

COMMENT

Moves commodities. A slowdown of the economy will create some slowdown in the rails. Expect to see more downside in the near term but longer term, you are getting to valuation levels that is attractive.

BUY

Cheap at 13/14X next year's earnings. Earnings growth has tailed off a little bit with the slowdown in the US economy.

BUY

Expensive oil is positive for the rails. They are about 4 times more efficient than trucks per ton-mile of freight. Rails are going to make a lot of money hauling commodities. Everybody should own one of them.

BUY

Liked that its exposure was more in Canada, unlike Canadian National (CNR-T) that had north/south traffic. Rails are really making money now in shipping grains, commodities, etc. Not that expensive.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Model price is $66.21 giving it a -8% differential.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Poor earnings today on weather and economic conditions in the US but a good long-term company to own.

COMMENT

Canadian National (See comments under (CNR-T)) and CP are both going to have difficult 1st quarters. Weather wasn't great. If you have a longer-term view, you could hold it. If you want to try and be tricky, Sell before they report because the numbers will disappoint.
