BUY

Likes the rails. The downgrade in earnings estimates is due to Fording's (FDG.UN-T) downgrades. It's a better way to play the cyclical moves on grains, coal, basic materials, etc. Cost reductions over trucking continues to improve dramatically and should continue.

BUY

Likes the railway business and in Canada in particular. Has a much higher exposure in commodities than Canadian National (CNR-T) making it more volatile. Prefers CNR.

BUY

Guidance for next year is $3.75/3.85 but because they are conservative, could still make $4 at the end of the day. In the $47's is a decent entry point.

BUY

The rails have been a great industry to participate in. Good pricing power. The Cdn$ can hurt them. The industry is partly driven by the commodity cycle.

BUY

Likes this stock and it could move higher.

DON'T BUY

Making a lot of money on commodities. Management has seemed to be able to get their act together this year. A little pricey.

BUY

Has done extremely well. A sort of a commodity play. Have re-negotiated a coal contract with more favourable terms. Operating ratios are up.

BUY

It's a coal and emerging economy story. Before this, its profitability was OK in terms of its level, but it appeared to be stalled out. Its only in the last quarter that the ROE has started to accelerate and today, its profit growth is the fastest in the industrial sector. A high rate of profit growth is the most important factor for future returns.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 14/05. Up 7.5%.) Kind of a chicken kind of way to get some cyclical exposure. A bit of grain, a bit of coal. Fairly low multiple.

BUY

Likes both Canadian Pacific (CP-T) and Canadian National (CNR-T). The whole rail industry looks quite interesting. The capacity utilization is very strong. Has strong exposure to coal and metals which creates very strong traffic.

WEAK BUY

Has been a major recipient by the run up in commodities. More of a cyclical railway compared to CNR (CNR-T). Would prefer CNR as a long term hold.

DON'T BUY

The rails are interesting. It seems the more expensive that fuel gets, the better the rails do. They have an energy advantage over other transportation. If oil gets choppy, they will too. They are in a growth channel where you buy at the low side of the channel and sell at the upper range.

BUY

Exciting. Has recently broke into new all time highs.

BUY

Was buying just before their earnings came out. An economy stock. It's the bulk shipments such as sulpher, potash, grains, coal, etc. Can continue to see their earnings growing.

WAIT

An area that is quite interesting here. The big risk with rails is that they are very economically sensitive. Particularily dependent on the commodity cycle. Stock has basically been in a holding pattern for the last lttle while. Would wait to see what the earnings look like before Buying.
