Q: Hi All At 5i!
I have both stocks, but have held MTL longer and am 25% up. Is one stock better in its long term forecast than the other? Would it be worth while keeping both, or consolidating?

Cheers,
Tamara

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.
