Market Outlook The market is trying to figure out its next trading level. With the change in interest rates and earnings, the market appears to be forming a double top. Now with US long term bond rates going down, the expectation is for a US Fed rate cut in September. The economy appears to be slowing down. Q1 earnings have been okay and the market is losing momentum. He is cautious. The trade war between China and the US and the amount of government debt are the greatest headwinds. Inflation could re-emerge when no one is expecting it.

CN vs CP The major difference is CN-R goes more North-South into the US. CP-T goes more across Canada. Both trade with similar yields. He does not own either. Both are good for a long term investment. It is splitting hairs deciding on which one to have.

CPG-T has gone through a rough spell. Despite higher oil prices, they have not recovered to the same degree. He blames their last acquisition as it forced them to cut the dividend. They are no longer the glamour stock. They have to "show me" before he gets back in. He would pursue the bigger more liquid names first.

They are trying to rebalance following the Washington asset acquisition. No one liked the cut in dividend, but it was prudent. The stock has bounced and the yield is around 5%. He thinks the market is not valuing it fully. They are selling assets at good prices and Washington Power had a great earnings quarter. The propane export terminal in Vancouver is a huge investment that is starting to pay off.

The premier gold royalty company. A great investment. He feels bad for not owning it in the past. Gold prices near $1300 US and if you feel prices are going higher this would be good.
