Q: Forgetting about the KSU acquisition, which would you prefer today. A 5-year chart shows that in 2016 CP was trading at about $26 CAD and CNR @ $80 CAD. CNR's Dividend is a full 1% higher.
Thanks as always!

Q: Hi 5i team. I’m trying to decide on investing in CNR, CP or something else in the commercial transportation industry. Could you give me your thoughts and feedback on their current state and future outlook to compare. Trying to understand why CNR has not recovered from last drop like CP did. Would CNR still be a good choice while the stock is still low? or would you suggest CP or something else at this time that would be better even if it’s a US company? Why? And could you rank them in order of strength in their ability to produce profits moving forward. thanks!

Q: It seems to me that this is a critical juncture for the growth and development of these two companies, somewhat akin to the number 1 and 2 teams in the Northern Division playing each other in a hockey game. The winner will not only get a win but also deal the loser a loss at the same time. Your thoughts please.

Q: why are the shares in each company down?. is it because the mkt feels the merger with Kansas will be denied for both companies? . for the long haul do you feel this drop presents a buying opportunity for either company regardless of any merger? thanks Richard

Q: By pure coincidence, I bought CP near the peak last week right before it announced the proposed acquisition of Kansas City Southern. Obviously not ideal timing and I am looking at a small loss. Would you hold here or roll the capital into a different railway for exposure to the space? (I'm looking for industrial exposure)

Q: There are times when I wonder about continuous disclosure rules and adherence to them. At the open on Friday, CP traded down sharply on much higher than average volumes. Over the weekend a major announcement. KSU did not trade up much on price during Friday but experienced higher than average trading volumes. Should a retail investor care or is their an issue here? Do the regulators watch this type of activity surrounding a major announcement?

Q: I was contemplating CP for a month now as a mid risk reopening play for my non reg account, also since pipelines are under attack & on 5i's comments on the company. Saturday 11PM, I see their offer for a huge acquisition. My question: What does one do if still interested in the company and how would one proceed? Would you step in right away or would you let the story run and then see what happens considering they just entered negotiations and I guess an approval process by regulators of different countries?
Thank you for your help!

Q: I saw a report on BNN that CP will be using BLDP's power cells in their hydrogen locomotives. Is this announcement significant for either company. Do we know when these locomotives will be manufactured and how many?
Thanks for your insight.
