Q: Group - Several weeks ago I asked a question about both Canadian + us banks +Pay pal +Score and so on. The question was that I was watching my profits slowly but surely disappearing in the sector ( I have been heavy into Financials for the last 2 yrs so have done very well) . I wanted to cash out but was advised that with strong quarterly results expected to hold on and everything would work out (I hold 20 % total portfolio exposure). I want to revisit the question now all the companies have reported earning and they continue to drop especially US holdings. Please give me your present thoughts on the sector (both Cad + US Financials+ the overall market its getting ugly and strong earnings are not helping the overall trend downwards. Thanks for your valued opinion . There are several questions here so deduct as you see fit

Q: Hello Folks;
Do you an have opinion on Northern Pacific Railway. Currently I have a 5% position in CSX railway and considering selling my 5% position in Parkland Fuel for Northern Pacific, as Parkland appears to have topped out. What is your thinking on such a trade..... CN and CP appear to offer more limited scope. I realize rails are riskier bellweather industrial stocks than a Parkland Fuel, Boyd Collision etc. I My uncertainty results from concern of whether the US economy continues it’s upward momentum. Do you consider a 10% allotement to US rails excessive?
Thank you for your great service

Q: Looking for a US stock with a good dividend. I'm 80 so a little volatility is okay. I'm willing to hold for 3 years. If you had to pick one of the three which one and why or do you have a better choice?
Thanks

Q: I am interested in buying Cummins for a long term (5-10 year) hold, or a comparable industrial in USF. Honeywell is my only other USF industrial. Could you please give me your opinion on purchasing it on the fall, or recommend other industrials, with a at least a small dividend.
Your advise is always appreciated!
