The best operator in North America. It's going to be bouncy. But it's a great way to tap into international growth. Risk is a global recession. They bought at $46

The recent break from past congestion stood out. Settlement of the strike and are past the worst weather in the West. Excellent cash flow.
BUY
Both rail carriers, Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) are doing very well operationally. As fuel prices continued to rise, they have very bright future.
HOLD
Would be a little cautious over the next year or so. Had a tougher 1st quarter due to labour and weather. Brought the operating ratio down to an unheard-of level. Good long-term growth story, but is concerned about an economic slowdown.
COMMENT
US rails are showing a little bit better valuation characteristics due to the problems they are having in their economy. Because of this, he has been buying Canadian Pacific (CP-T) instead.
HOLD
Even with the downturn in the US economy, there is a lot of coal being hauled as well as a lot of other general commodities.
BUY
Both Canadian National (CNR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T) had negative earnings revisions in the 1st quarter. A lot of it was weather related (coal shipment for CP). Still sees 5%-10% earnings growth.
HOLD
A blue-chip Canadian company that will benefit from resurgence in the North American economy.
TOP PICK
A good value stock at 13-14 X earnings. They announced the 1st quarter was going to be down 5% to 10%, which pushed the stock down. A decent economy in North America will get you decent earnings growth and a $60 stock.
