Q: re: CSX Corp

CSX has been ok Q1 2014 but nothing to write home about. Sluggish performance is attributed to weak Coal shipments. I'm ahead right now about 3% and their Q1 earnings will be up next week. I am seriously thinking about getting out before the earnings announcement then jumping back in as I do believe CSX will perform well over the long term through improved intermodal & expansion plus it is relatively cheap for the sector.

Your thoughts?

Q: hello 5i:
Concerning AGU: Three quarterly missed earnings in a row is cause for concern (for me at least, and I believe I read somewhere that for you as well). Now, they have problems with their Daysland plant. I've sold (at a profit) as I've lost confidence in the company to execute. I still like the space but am cautious about POT. Can you suggest options, even if they are in the US? btw, I'm a GARP guy, if that helps.

Q: I have been looking at Lyondellbasil (LYB:NYSE) and Methanex (MX:TSX) as potential plays on the US industrial/chemical resurgence and cheap natural gas prices. I notice that LYB is not mentioned very often despite having had a great run and IMO still trading cheap relative to the rest of the S&P 500 (forward P/E). What are your thoughts on LYB? Is it worth picking up or is Methanex a better investment?

Q: Hi Peter. I have been following SDRL the last couple of months. It is a top pick of some analysts. My question is I have a concern for its high debt (Not convinced they can cover it). Is the high dividend sustainable and will the stock go up over the next few years. Thanks. Rene

Q: In his recent shareholders letter, Warren Buffett gave this advice: "My money, I should add, is where my mouth is: What I advise here is essentially identical to certain instructions I’ve laid out in my will. One bequest provides that cash will be delivered to a trustee for my wife’s benefit. (I have to use cash for individual bequests, because all of my Berkshire shares will be fully distributed to certain philanthropic organizations over the ten years following the closing of my estate.) My advice to the trustee could not be more simple: Put 10% of the cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund. (I suggest Vanguard’s.) I believe the trust’s long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors – whether pension funds, institutions or individuals – who employ high-fee managers." He doesn't suggest putting the money in BRK.
As a portfolio manager what would your thoughts be. I understand his wife is 66-67yrs old.
Thanks
Mike
