CP
BUY
Rails are economy stocks, so you have to feel reasonably confident Canadian economy is going to chug along. Despite concerns in the US, he feels Canada will do okay. Made a good purchase of a short rail line around Chicago allowing them to ship around the Chicago bottleneck.
WEAK BUY
New acquisition in middle of U.S will cut rail travel time by a day. Not a big enough change to really affect company. Big on rails. As fuel gets more attractive they become more attractive. Prefer CP. If you’re a strategic investor with long view (5+ years), CP makes sense.
COMMENT
Prefers Canadian Pacific (CP-T), which has the ability to improve its efficiencies. Nothing wrong with this company, he just can't own everything.
BUY
Likes the rail space. Over the long term, the best position would be in Burlington Northern (BNI-N), but currently with the strong Cdn$ this is a good company.
BUY
His model price is $63.40. An 18%-19% positive differential.
BUY
Has held up very well. The premiere growth railroad in North America. The best run and the best margins. Good price. Has a new port facility coming on in Prince Rupert, which will be a major win for them.
BUY
His model price is $63.20. Almost 20% positive differential.
BUY
One of the premier Canadian stocks. Returns have been very healthy. A proxy for the economy and with fuel prices generally higher, rails do a better job than trucks. Operating metrics have come in better.
HOLD
The premier rail company in North America. The most profitable, the best growth prospects and the best run. As it weakens there is no reason not to buy it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 27/06. Up 20%.) If the economy holds together, it could reach $65 in one year.
DON'T BUY
Having some issues with carloads being down due to slowing economy and manufacturing getting hit. Now trading at a discount to Canadian Pacific (CP-T).
DON'T BUY
Transport stocks did very well up into the spring and then a number of them started selling off. Sold his holdings.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The model price is $67.83. A 24% positive differential. If the price fell to $53.22, he would build up the truck.
BUY
Has had a terrific run and is softening a little bit. Best run railroad in North America. Has suffered a little bit because of derailments.
WEAK BUY
Railroads have advantages in fuel over truckers. Is considering, at possible entry points. Doesn't own now.
