Q: I have held CN Rail for years and it has averaged around 9% including the dividend. Wildfires and labour issues have hit the company hard over the last few years and the stock price has not done much. On the other hand, CPKC’s stock price has done a bit better. Both just released their latest earnings. CN expects its adjusted diluted EPS to grow in the low single-digit range for 2024 and average in the high single-digit range over the next couple of years. Whereas CPKC expects its adjusted diluted EPS to grow double digits for 2024 and over the next couple of years. What other metrics should I be looking at? Are railways still a good investment and if so, would you suggest a swap to CPKC? Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi I received my new shares of AW from my old AW.UN. For my 355 of AW.UN I now have 345 of AW plus I received $390.48 in cash. I will not get full details until I get my statement at the end of the month. In the mean time the broker has stated " MER - A&W REVENUE ROYALTIES INCOME FUND TRUST UNITS DEFAULT: C$.99472 CASH +.97311 SHS + C$0.1052 DIST PER 1 OLD " Can you help me figure out this logic in layman's terms? Thank you for your better interpretation.

Q: Fortis doesn’t seem to be getting much love from analysts, I think more holds and sells than buys? The target price (understanding your feelings about analyst’s targets) is also less than the current price I believe. I thought the prospect of lower rates would be a tailwind. What is the bear case? What say you?

Q: Based on 5i member questions/responses, I moved some Comms sector ownership into TMUS in May this year. It has steadily marched ahead, and has achieved two years of appreciation (>30%) in 5 months. RSI is high. Analyst's Target Prices are being hit.
I don't see any metrics that say it is much better, growing company.... so I am planning to lock in profits. Is there any metric that you see, that would say it is Buy right now?

Q: I am setting up a TFSA for my wife. I have been managing my own TFSA for 7 years but my wife has maintained her account with a BMO investment advisor. We also both have RIFs managed by the same advisor. My TFSA has far outperformed the accounnts managed by the professional (thanks to your advice) but my wife is very risk adverse. She has about $100 K to invest. We are both in our 70s and don't have pressing needs for the cash. Could you. suggest a basket of Canadian/US stocks/etfs that would provide some low risk growth with a 10 year horizon.
