Q: Good day! Many thanks to 5i providing a rudder (and sometimes an anchor) on this rollicking journey.

I have been slowly accumulating CNR for the past couple of years and am now considering whether CP is better positioned over the next decade. I am currently down 8%.

Can I get 5i’s opinion on CN vs CP given each company’s
-past performance,
-quality of management,
-valuations,
-EPS growth projections
-CAN-US trade gyrations
-any other material factors

Thank you!

Q: Good afternoon 5i
I have been hanging onto nfi, thinking there might be brighter futures. Recently, however, I have been reading about the prominence and advanced features of Chinese electric vehicles, including busses. It seems that the only thing keeping them out is tariffs. I am really concerned that if they had free reign that the hopes for nfi would dwindle. Tariff policies can be changed. What likelihood of more permissive tariff policies for Chinese electric vehicles happening.
Thanks for your great work

Q: How safe do you think Magna’s dividend is?

Current earnings/cash flow seem to cover the dividend quite well, and buybacks could always be stopped/reduced if needed to maintain the dividend.

Even if it takes a few years for the auto industry to recover, Magna’s over 5% dividend yield at least pays us to be patient (assuming Magna can adapt to whatever the future of the auto industry looks like)?

Q: Will artificial intelligence utilization in finance and markets be able to replace stock pickers and in the end financial advisers/analyst since analysis of companies data will be faster and perhaps more reliable and objective than performed by a human irregardless of his skills and experience. Already automated portfolios are created by a computer based on certain investment goals.
I would be interested in your perspective on this matter.
Thank you

Q: The three year chart on this is not pretty. Why, given the lack of potash on the market from the Ukraine and Russia, has NTR not thrived? I've done well on NTR in the past but have a hard time understanding the cyclicality. This looks like a good time to invest once again, but is it? How can tariffs hurt NTR? Where else is the US going to get their large need?

BTW, thanks for the suggestion that 475 was a good entry point for ISRG.

Now, NTR? Your thoughts, please

Q: Friday’s meeting between Mark Carney and the Premiers promises to lead to increased spending and capital to build infrastructure related to natural resources, alternative energy and technology. There seems to be a vibe consistent with Brookfield visions and foci. Carney may in fact be a catalyst to moving the Canadian economy out of the current malaise. Skepticism is warranted but are there any specific stocks that we should consider in light of what could develop rather quickly?
