Q: I have 2 transportation stocks CP and AC, up 30% and 48% respectively in a very short time. Now they represent 5% each of my diversified portfolio.
Both were an opportunistic purchase since I had no transportation stocks. Do you think I should sell them or there is more upside potential? Industry consolidation in case of CP and AC increasing its cash flow, lowering debt, perhaps paying a dividend (don't sell your winners philosophy)?

Q: Between CNR and CP, which one do you recommend today and going forward in the Trump era, and reasons as to your preference.
Does it make sense to own both Telus and BCE?
Thank you,

Q: HI Peter. Thanks for your great service. My question today is I am going to sell RBF 1340 formerly PHN bond. I would like to replace it with stocks that consistently and regularly increase their dividend for the past 5,10 ++ years. They would be inside a rrsp fund. I have a company pension and receive cpp and oas. Please suggest 5 to 6 stocks. Thanks Frank

Q: In my overall portfolio covering all sectors, I had 4 equally weighted stocks in the industrial sector (BIN, CP, WSP and STN), but recently sold BIN. I'm considering selling CP as well and adding one or two other industrials to go with WSP and STN for a longer term hold. What do you think of this approach, and are there a couple of stocks in this sector you would recommend, in order of preference? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am considering at least lowering my exposure to natural resource stocks. But, i would still like to participate in a recovery. My thought is that certain companies that serve the oil and gas industry would partipate in any recovery. Companies like CP. Would you suggest any other companies that might be appropriate for such a strategy?
thanks

Q: What do you think of CP's answer regarding how they calculate their earnings?

And on a related note, was there anything in CNR's (Canadian National Railway) earnings to cause concern? Management reaffirmed forward guidance and it looks "cheaper" now, on a forward p/e basis, than it has in a long while.

Thanks,

John
