Q: Over the last 20 years CNR and KSU have been outstanding performers. CNR up about 2000% and KSU up 7500%!! Both have been better than Birkshire Hathaway. Which would pick for a long hold? Have the metrics of these RRs changed? In particular, does KSU still have the advantage that propelled it 20 years ago? It has lagged of late.

Q: DXU is a new ETF and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Is this a good time to purchase or would it be best to do a "wait and see"? I currently hold ZUB and am wondering if it should be switched to an ETF that is not hedged. Which bank ETF would you consider for the unhedged or would you go with a single US bank. Thanks for your advice.

Q: In answer to another reader's question, you recently recommended the following 4 US tech stocks (NVDA, QCOM, GOOG, CGNX) and four US industrials (FLIR, LLL, UTX, ITRI).

If you had to narrow it down to two in each of these categories (tech and industrials), which would you pick at this time?

Q: Now that Apple has risen to within 1% of its all time high and I am finally at a position slightly higher than when I bought, I am considering selling the shares and would be interested in your latest view on whether this is a good time to sell, or whether there is any advantage to waiting a while.
The shares are held in my wife's RRIF and if sold, I would want to buy something else in the same sector, or move into the health/pharma sector.
I bought the shares a few years ago after asking your advice and you suggested to buy either AAPL or GOOG. I suspect that GOOG has done much better since and I have to say I was never really impressed with the low dividend that AAPL pays, especially considering how much cash it has on hand.

Does the tech sector still have legs? Are there any companies you like in the tech sector in the US that pay a 3%+ dividend and still a chance of growth?

Thanks in advance for your deliberations.
