Q: I have held CP for some time. After a period of strong increases, in the past few weeks it has pulled back by over 15%. CNR (which I do not own) also pulled back but not to the same degree. This surprised me as general economic conditions still seem fairly positive and I would have expected the rails to continue with strength. Do you see these companies returning to their positive path over the next 3-6 months? Thank you.

Q: Air Canada has demonstrated very good EPS growth and ROE for some time. Their stock has had a modest pullback, August through September, but seems to be gaining momentum again. Air Canada has the 2nd largest fleet of Max 737 in the world. Why wouldn't the grounding and route cancellations affect results. Q1 and Q2 results beat estimates. Q3 results, typically the largest reporting period, is due October 29. Do you think it will affect Q3 results? Would you take position now or wait until after October 29.

Q: hello 5i:
the railroads are beginning to look a little more interesting to me. While I still think we need at least another 5% taken from the price to become very interested, I wish to know which you'd pick today, knowing you go back and forth on them (you last chose CN in mid-August), and WHY you'd choose the one you do.
thanks

Q: There was a article in the Globe on the weekend about what could happen if your broker went bankrupt or insolvent. They stated it was conceivable that a client of the failed broker could lose all their shares. They talked about the CIPF protecting you up to $1 million but if you had more assets than a million then you should have more than one broker. I am just wondering how that could happen? The client still owns the shares not the broker. Under what scenario could this be likely or even possible?

Thanks Ken

Q: Hello Peter, as I have noticed a lot of ppl asking about the BIP and BIPC news, and since BIPC (or BEPC) can provide so many advantages (e.g., simple taxation, broader investor base, etc), why ppl still want to keep their shares in LPs, I mean, what's the benefits of holding these Brookfield family in LP structure?
Thanks!
