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
Brian

Q: that is great news that you are working on an update where we can have a watchlist with up to the minute news on the stocks in our portfolios.
what the globe and mail did to its watchlist is beyond
understanding, their new watchlist has real time quotes but the news on the stocks you own is days old , nothing immediate and generally nothing at all and i pay to get the globe.dave

Q: In answer to Victor's query for free/inexpensive portfolio tracking websites, I actually think Yahoo Finance is pretty decent for this now (free, 15-minute delay on Canadian stocks), and the corresponding Yahoo mobile app is very good.

Q: In response to Victor, here is a suggestion for a free app I use to monitor equities in real-time on my Android phone. The app is called Webull and is available on Play Store.
Some advantages are as follows: Easy to set up. You can have as many portfolios as you want, for example, with names such as Indexes, Core, Fin, O&G, Small Cap, Bonds, etc. You can have an equity in as many portfolios as you want, for example, TD in Core and Fin. Convenient to track equities you own plus others you want to follow. Easy to add and delete an equity. Each portfolio displays the equities with their current price, % change or the absolute price change in a convenient visual colour code (green, red, light gray). Tap on an equity and you can see a graph which you can set to a default time limit, for example, 1m, 3m, 1yr, 5yr, max. Dividends & past earnings dates are displayed on the 1m, 3m, and 1yr graphs.
You can quickly check on the market action of your equities anytime whether at home, at work or anywhere else you happen to be.
It does not track the monetary values of equities like a spreadsheet can do.
Share with your 5i audience as you wish.
