Q: CN Rail stock seems to have benefitted from the HALO theme as well as business prospects turning for better, after lagging the market for almost 18 months. The shares have gone up 15%, within a short span of 4-5 weeks.

Does it make sense to initiate a New position at current levels $150-$152 ( 52 wk high) or wait for some pullback/consolidation ?

Thank You

Q: 5i provided subscribers with 2 very interesting article recently. One on HALO companies and one of Canadian Companies With Accelerated Topline Growth Rates.

Would you take it one step further for us.

Of the 4 segments of HALO stocks that were highlighted can you pick your top 2 choices from each of the 4 segments and list them from strongest choice down.

Also can you pick the top 5 stocks from the Growth rates list that you think would provide the best growth over the next 5 years from strongest selection down.

With thanks from all of us.

Q: CN Rail shares were added to the Income Portfolio, Today.

If you decide to add exposure to rails in the Balanced Portfolio, which Canadian rail would be your preference today and why ?

You had mentioned before that CNR has a cheaper valuation and good dividend yield. But, I would appreciate your reasoning to cover other factors like future growth prospects, geographical considerations and total shareholder returns, as well.

Thank You

Q: " AI-focused logistics firm Algorhythm Holdings said its SemiCab unit boosted customers' freight volumes by 300%-400% "without ‌a corresponding increase in operational headcount."

The above AI powered logistics tool news caused a havoc among most Trucking and Logistics stocks resulting a drop of 10-20 %, in Thursday's trade, giving back all gains of last few weeks. Dow Jones Transportation Index was down 4%, today.

Do you see this as a long term threat to the sector ?

I am curious to have your take on whether this news/AI scare could impact rail stocks also, in any way.

We were planning to initiate a position in CNR, but not sure, if the move warrants a caution in near term.

Thank You

Q: Could you provide some insight on what TRI & DSG are saying about their future prospects and is their moat real and believeable? In the case of CNR, whenever the political tiddlywinks ends, they will eventually be filling freight cars. TRI & DSG seem to be more exposed to sentiment, which is a bit like guessing which way the cat will jump. Thank you
