Markets. There was some geopolitical risk priced into the market before today’s events. Once we know more we can see how it unfolds. If these events hit North America people will react more negatively and so will our markets. Geopolitical risks are ongoing and we have to live with them as investors. Pre-Trump there were interesting things happening. Employment and personal income were picking up. What we are about to see is a major change in investor Psyche. The value of homes are now back to where they were pre-crash. It is possible that Trump will succeed beyond our wildest dreams. There is deregulation, repatriation tax cuts and a reduction in corporate income tax that will bump S&P earnings one time. We could be in for a very bullish two or three years. The bull market is over for the fixed income market. If the US$ does get stronger then it will dissuade the Fed from raising rates three times next year. You will see damage to your fixed income portfolio, however.
He likes it and would buy it here. They did some interesting acquisitions. 93% of it is a regulated utility. He thinks they will expand into the US. They will do well unless interest rates rise a lot.

It is the best railroad in North America with the lowest operating ratio. He would want to see it come off 5% more before buying it right now. CP-T is a little cheaper at the moment but CNR-T has the best long term record. You have to look at what they haul and what is the outlook for what they haul. Then look at costs and cost cutting. Dividends are not as important as for a utility or pipeline.

REITs. Rising interest rates should whack REITs but keep in mind that the key with REITs is how well the rentals are doing and the length of the leases compared to the cost of money. The closer you can match the maturities to the leases, the better off you are. HR.UN-T is one of his favourites. They are shedding less interesting properties and buying in the US. CSH.UN-T is another favourite because of the demographics.
