Q: Hi 5i Team,

Could you please give me your analysis and opinion of MTL and DXT? How do you see the next few years playing out for them in a high inflationary environment and rising interest rates? Do you see a place for them in a well diversified, higher risk, income oriented portfolio?

CRP has also caught my attention with food prices the way they are and no let up in sight. What is your current opinion of CRP? Do you think it might be good holding for a trade until food prices show some sign of stabilizing?

Many Thanks for the Great Service,

Colin

Q: Morning 5i,
I'm light on transportation, and recently read an optimistic appraisal of MTL that considered its substantial dividend to be safe, highlighted its aggressive share buyback program (approximately $100M worth of shares last year and this) good price/cash flow and forward PE metrics and evaluated both it's business and business model as solid for the foreseeable future.
I wonder if you agree and how you would compare it to TFII which I know you like? Specifically, I'd be interested in your comparison of the two in terms of total return over three or so years.
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Would you foresee any specific potential drivers for upside (looking for total return/compounding growth rather than specific dividend income) in one of these transportation companies over the other? I am trying to decide between them for a position in a long term hold RRSP portfolio. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i: I live on Highway 11 in NE ON and every day I am continually amazed about the amount of truck traffic going through. They are not
stopping here. I hold 5% positions in TFII and CNR. I would like to swap a small position in CP and buy MTL or just add it outright. Your thoughts and if I do the latter do you feel that I might be overweight transportations? Great service - thanks.

Q: Good day. Industrials account for 13% of my portfolio. Currently I hold the companies listed above. I need to invest another $10,000 to bring my allocation to 13%. All the stocks listed are fairly equal weight. My question is which of these stocks do you think I should increase...or delete, and do you have a recommendation for a different stock that would fit here? I am thinking of adding TFII but am concerned it may be a duplication of the Mullen and CNR holdings. I look forward to your reply.
