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.

TOP PICK

A safer way to get some cyclical growth. A little more cyclical than Canadian National (CNR-T) so if you are playing it at this time in the cycle, you want the little more cyclical that CP offers. A little more resource and grain oriented. Cheap multiple.

TOP PICK

Likes both Canadian National (CRR-T) and Canadian Pacific (CP-T). Great plays on GDP growth in North America. You are getting getting GDP plus 2, 3%. CNR is the premier but this is reflected in the valuation. CP has more room to improve. A play on Asian growth because of bulk shipment out of Pacific ports.

BUY

Rail stocks in Canada, both CP and CNR (CNR-T) have done very well. Prefers CNR, but CP is a fine company. Has benefited a lot from its high exposure to commodities.

BUY

Has experienced some negative fuel trends which has caused analysts to lower their estimates of earnings. Looks very cheap on an earnings basis at 10 X. Good stock.

BUY

Prefers this company over CNR (CNR-T). A little better positioned as far as energy costs is concerned. They are both improving their fleets. CP is probably a bigger element in the bulk carrying side of the business. Would switch to CP if you want to own a railroad.

BUY

A well run rail company. Feels there is still room to go at this point in the cycle. They're not only benefiting from the cyclical strike that has been in the market, but also benefiting from increasing trade with China and rails are starting to take market share away from trucking. Prefers CNR (CNR-T).

DON'T BUY

Has done really well in the last 3/6 months. Has some enthusiasm, primarily on coal, but also fertizer, potash, raw materials moving to the west coast and to the south. Haven't been a big fan of them and still not convinced that the stars are lined up for them. Thinks we are seeing the peak right now. A little bit expensive.
