Investment Q&A

Q: So what do you think about the CNR's outbidding of CP for KSU?

Q: By pure coincidence, I bought CP near the peak last week right before it announced the proposed acquisition of Kansas City Southern. Obviously not ideal timing and I am looking at a small loss. Would you hold here or roll the capital into a different railway for exposure to the space? (I'm looking for industrial exposure)

Q: Greetings.

Do you know if the 44 million new CP shares will be priced or will they just trade at market value, right from the get-go?

Thanks.

John

Q: There are times when I wonder about continuous disclosure rules and adherence to them. At the open on Friday, CP traded down sharply on much higher than average volumes. Over the weekend a major announcement. KSU did not trade up much on price during Friday but experienced higher than average trading volumes. Should a retail investor care or is their an issue here? Do the regulators watch this type of activity surrounding a major announcement?

Q: The market doesn't seem to like the CP deal. Is the market right or is this a buying opportunity?

Thanks for your analysis.

Q: I was contemplating CP for a month now as a mid risk reopening play for my non reg account, also since pipelines are under attack & on 5i's comments on the company. Saturday 11PM, I see their offer for a huge acquisition. My question: What does one do if still interested in the company and how would one proceed? Would you step in right away or would you let the story run and then see what happens considering they just entered negotiations and I guess an approval process by regulators of different countries?
Thank you for your help!

Q: I have $100000 us to invest medium risk, 3 years. Where should I be?
Also, what about gold coins as a holding?

Q: If commodities continue to rally would you see the rails as a good lower risk proxy for the sector. Which of the two rails is cheaper on valuation.

Thanks

Q: I saw a report on BNN that CP will be using BLDP's power cells in their hydrogen locomotives. Is this announcement significant for either company. Do we know when these locomotives will be manufactured and how many?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Based on Keystone XL decision, more crude will most likely be shipped by rail. US refineries need Canadian crude oil caused by shortfall from South America. Gibson plans to build facility to maximize crude content of rail shipments.
With footprint of tracks being different, who stands to benefit the most and why?

Q: Looking for a transportation play. These are the 3 that come to mind. 1) Am I too late to get in for economy opening play 2) which would be highest growth potential 3) is there a disruptor or smaller more leveraged play that you can suggest.

Q: Where do you think Canadian Railroad Stocks are going, and do you have a favorite?

Q: Hi folks,

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

First of all, thanks for your advise to help me understand more for the US & Canadian stock markets. I have a feeling that the US market will end the over 10 years bull market soon and bear market will come in. Due to the issue of GME, BB, NOK, and AMC showing many "NEW" investors involve the US and Canadian market (because of the BB), specially the Reddit social media investor forums is not healthy. I guess the Canadian market may also affected, due to the BB issue. Just in case the bear market will come, what the above stocks need to be sold to play safe. I am thinking to sell KXS, LSPD, and NVEI, those stock prices may not be survival during the big drop in coming. Do you have the same feeling that the bear market will come? Can you please rank the above stocks able to survival during the bear market and please suggest to take off any just in case the worst worst things really happen.

Q: My portfolio doesn't have any coverage in the transportation sector. What stocks/etf's would you recommend in this area.
