Q: Why would I want to hold these in the current economic conditions? If things change can they reach highs again or do you predict further downward movement? Appreciate your insight.
Q: Can I get your quick comments on these companies? I'm down on these between 20-45%. Do you think they are still worth holding or looking to clean up these weeds and deploy into other higher quality names. Thanks!
Q: As a longtime holder of BNS representing 8% of my cash account (4 % total accounts ) with banks representing 30 % of total portfolios, I am getting impatient waiting for the “ new “ President to make his mark. With TFII suffering from tariff malaise and WSP dropping because of a sale of shares by the Caisse , I see this as an opportunity to get into these 2 growthier stocks. I can live with the resulting drop in dividend income. I would have a loss on BNS.
Would you make the trade or hold on to BNS ?
Thanks. Derek
Q: Very curious about your response yesterday on TFI International when you stated "Backhaul is really bad, but this is also a tariff situation (nothing is coming back to Canada)." What would these truckers normally haul back to Canada i.e. industrial or consumer products? Just curious if the Canadian sentiment to avoid buying US goods is having an impact.
Q: I was expecting TFII to have a rough day today after missing their target numbers. But it's up (nice surprise), What's happening? How did the call go. Were there some encouraging developments discussed?
Q: Thoughts on recent earning. Down already over 30 percent this year, I’m wondering if it’s time to get out and search new opportunities. The tariff treat remains and economic downturn risk remains. What are your views on holder or exiting this position for other opportunities.
Q: Does TFII have a growth opportunity annd capacity ahead given impacts to their business model from tariffs and trade disruption? I am trying to assess, given it has now dropped by 50%, whether it is a reasonable time to action anything for this stock and if so, what direction it should be.
Q: I started accumulating positions in these the last couple of days with intentions of adding more. Was never able to get in at decent prices ever before. They have all bounced back today and are in green quite nicely which is great but they are only small positions and I wanted to buy more. Do I wait as this mess will give another chance to get in Or do i average up ? Any issues with anything on the list ?
Q: Hi, holding a few of these losers now in my non registered accounts - they were nice winners just a short time ago. What are the best proxies for these as a tax loss strategy? If my holding is CAD and the proxy is US, should I convert CAD funds to buy US or avoid these situations? Also, at what $ or price % loss would you consider doing these tax loss trades? Thanks!
Q: Is it too late to sell TFII? It continues to fall and I wonder what will reverse its fotune. I presume if tariffs land softer than assumed right now or when TFII reports in April. Would you hold and wait until say the next April report and reassess based on what management says at that point?
Q: I've held Canadian National Railway (CNR) for over eight years, achieving a modest return of about 8% per annum, which has lagged the broader Canadian market. As a retired investor seeking both income and growth, I’m considering swapping my entire CNR position for TFI International (TFII). CNR has provided stability and a reliable dividend—currently around 2.3%—but its growth has been underwhelming, and it trades at a relatively high valuation, around 19-20 times forward earnings. In contrast, TFII appears undervalued, trading at roughly 15-16 times forward earnings, with a stronger historical growth trajectory, driven by its trucking and logistics operations and savvy acquisitions. However, its dividend yield is lower, at about 1%, and it’s more cyclical than CNR’s rail business. Given my goals and the small capital gain I’d realize in my taxable account from selling CNR, does it make sense to trade all of my CNR for TFII? How do their risk profiles, income potential, and long-term growth prospects compare for someone in my position?
Q: I have small positions in both TFII and AND (about 2% each) and looking to add to them (long-term positions so not worried about near-term uncertainty, I'm sure they'll both be fine over the long-term).
I'm thinking TFII is the safer bet (cheaper, larger, much longer-term track record) but AND's smaller size and less-levered balance sheet might allow it to make more meaningful acquisitions for higher growth.
What are your thoughts, which would you favour more for a young long-term investor?
Q: I am looking to add to my TFSA for a long term hold.
