Great acquisition of Kansas City by CP was a game changer. CNR is the gold standard in North America. US is not in a recession yet, but if it does happen, all the rails will get cheaper.

There's a strong secular tailwind for agriculture as well as capital expenditure to produce greater efficiency. She'd be looking at automation, like Rockwell and Honeywell. Then, how do you move those goods? Look at Union Pacific. There are various ways to play the industrial sector as you move into 2023.

A transport, which does well during stronger economic times. Setting up for the future, not a bad buy here. He'd prefer to get it in the $180-190s. Shutdown in China has hurt, but this won't last. Globalization is waning, as the risks have become apparent. Will benefit from repatriation of business.

Was downgraded today. UNP has trouble hiring enough staff and meeting demand. They will figure this out and hire enough specialized staff. Total traffic demand growth in 2021 fell short of their 5% target. Rail shipping margins continue to improve with precision schedule. This is a great place to play in industrials.

Have managed their operating ratio quite well, down to the mid-60s, which is a big positive for them. He is neutral on this.
