Q: Looking at starting a position in railroads - how would you rank the above for a 3-5 year period and why - are there any others you would rank higher - and what is your overall view on investing in this sector at this time.

Thanks,
Terry

Q: I am looking for a transportation company to add to my portfolio. With another delay in the TransMountain Pipeline, is now a good time to consider the rail companies, and if so, which one should benefit more from a possible increase in oil shipment?
With or without the oil shipments, is there another transportation company you would recommend instead, planning on a 5 year time frame?
Thank you
Grant

Q: Hi Peter
I currently own both railways. CP does not produce much in the way of a dividend while CN does.
I depend on Dividends for my retirement, and am looking for for cash flow. I notice ALTA Gas pays 9% and has done so for some time. Would it be advisable to sell my CP and buy into ALTA. I currently hold 400 shares of CP and 800 of CN
Thank you
John

Q: Hello
My question is related to the vastly discounted price that Canadian oil companies are able to achieve for their product, with many analysts indicating they need to get it to either or both coasts so it can be sold for a better price. I would think that the rail companies are probably getting some of the oil to the coasts, and have to potential to move greater volumes even if more costly than pipelines. Are CNR or CP in the position to benefit form this need to move the oil to 'tide water'?
Thanks,
Brian

Q: Hi there,

I am looking to add a company in transportation to my portfolio. On all metrics TFII seems cheaper on a valuation basis than the others. Any reasons you would prefer my other options and why?

Q: Hello Peter,

I currently have a greater than full position in CP and have been hesitant to trim it back given how well the stock has been doing. However, I'm concerned about how the situation with Nafta will affect the stock. Can you provide insight into how you think this or any other factors might impact the stock price in the near and long term? Many thanks!

Q: Trying to add to my knowledge base with your superb guidance .... so this is a follow up to my earlier question where I asked if CN and CP were oversold; but I neglected to mention that I had been looking at the W% and the RSI for both companies. To my untrained eye, they appeared to be oversold or close to being oversold. Would you please take a look at these parameters and let me know what you think.

Thanks again.
