Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Bad winter in northern Canada has the CN running at about 50% capacity. Service is terrible.

Good PE, industry poised to take over due to collapse in trucking with bad gas efficiency. Stock is undervalued compared to others in industry. Decent analyst opinion.

Again -- with a rail system spanning the continent East to West, and connecting all 3 NAFTA nations, CNI is poised to see a large increase in demand. Increasing fuel prices will drive more freight and passenger traffic to rail, which blows away all other forms of transit in effeciency. Rail is a solid bet in general, especially since high-speed passenger rail is on the near horizon. They have the lines, the know-how, and only need to add the technology.

Rails will only get more and more competitive as we wean ourselves from gas (and big trucks!) for long haul freight. Proven business with a great dividend.
