CNI: Bull or Bear?

Warren Buffett Is Still Riding the Rails CNI

73%

-2.65% in 245 days Warren Buffett Is Still Riding the Rails <> <> As evidence of a bullish long-term outlook for railroads, Warren Buffet's Berskshire recently increased its stake in Burlington Northern (BNI) and the CEO of Kansas City Southern (KSU), Michael Haverty, appeared on Larry Kudlow's show on CNBC Thursday evening, stating that rail transport was showing continued strength in the transport of coal, chemicals, and grains with weakness in the transport of consumer goods and housing related commodities. Berkshire paid $79.65 each to add 825,000 shares of BNI, upping its stake in ... Continue reading »

A Mixed Trade in Transports CNI

73%

-15.88% in 45 days (closed on 10/31/08) A Mixed Trade in Transports <> Transports have provided a safe haven for investors with the iShares Dow Transports (IYT) registering a small gain over the past year in spite of a meltdown in financials and sharp losses in the overall market averages. The gains in the Dow Transport ETF were largely the result of strong performance by the top four U.S.-based railroads by market cap which I wrote about yesterday as a bullish trade, accounting for over 30% of the stock holdings for IYT. As evidence of increased commercial interest and product developme... Continue reading »

5 Impressive Stocks in This Difficult Market CNI

-15.43% in 318 days <>Now that more than half the year is behind us, I thought it would be interesting to look at my top 5 performers through July 31, 2008. As dismal as the stock market has been this year, there are still some bright spots. My top five performers have all achieved double-digit positive total returns since I owned them and positive returns in 2008. Here they are with comments: #5 - McDonald's (MCD) + 4.4% Total 2008 Return Last November, I bought this burger maker for $57 in spite of only paying one dividend per year. I was rewarded by MCD moving to quarterly dividends and a 2008 total return of 4... Continue reading »

A Global Railroad ETF Proposal: A New Way For Investors To Ride The Rails CNI

73%

-2.68% in 39 days (closed on 09/16/08) <> My proposed Global Railroad ETF (click on image for full-screen view) includes 28 stocks from worldwide markets with a minimum market cap of $250 million and includes companies from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. CSX ( CSX ) was the best performing domestic railroad in the fund, producing over a 40% return in the last year, including dividends. Rather than trying to pick individual stocks in the railroad industry, my Global Railroad ETF would provide investors with a single investment vehicle that is globally diversified and leveraged to the transport of agricultu...

No stopping this train CNI

72%

-34.44% in 245 days (closed on 03/30/09) CNI reported a decent quarter in spite of a number of factors that it has been up against: high fuel prices, bad winter, midwest flooding, drop in auto and lumber shipments Going forward, the Prince Rupert port looks to have a positive outcome for CNI, especially with respect to agriculture shipments.  If the EJE situation can be resolved to CNI's favor, that'll be a nice pop to their stock price.

With U.S. stocks plunging, here are some Canadian stock picks CNI

-11.22% in 357 days Filed under: Barrick Gold (ABX), Canada, Goldcorp Inc (GG), Commodities, Oil, Agriculture, Stocks to Buy, Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT) Once again it's ugly out there today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped below 11,000 for the first time in two years, plunging over 2%. The rest of the U.S. stocks are not far behind with both the Nasdaq composite and the S&P 500 down over 2% as well. It's depressing. But you don't have to look far to see a nicer picture, you just have to look up: up north that is. The Toronto Stock Exchange has fared much better in what has officially become a U....

CN Rail Earnings DeRail CNI

+9.86% in 813 days CN (NYSE:CNI) continues to experience union problems. Yesterday the union membership rejected the contract offer and voted to strike. Management says they are disappointed. The union was out on a two week strike in Feb and basically ruined Q1 results and left behind operating difficulties that will persist into Q2. While there is the threat of back to work legislation Canada's national parliament is on Easter recess for another week. CN has been known for huge productivity and efficiency increases which resulted in attractive stock performance. Management failed to engage their ... Continue reading »
