Canadian National Railway (CNI), which I first wrote about on July 30, 2009, at a price of $47.95, is making a bee-line to $80, and if you haven't already, now may be a good time to consider taking some profits with CNI if you're in near $48.

However, investors who can tolerate the risk can maintain their full CNI position, but keep in mind the journey to $90 may not be completed in 2011.

CNI remains one of best run railroads, bolstered by rigorous cost controls, Look for Canadian National's 2011 revenue to rise 8% to 10%, after a 20% to 25% surge in 2010, as both goods shipment and commodity transport recover; margins will likely increase this year, as well. Volumes also should rise 5% to 7% in 2011, after a double-digit gain in 2010.

Canadian Pacific logo"Once written off as a 'sunset' industry, North American railroads are making money hand over fist. In short, the railways are benefiting from a rising tide and the companies have a lot going for them," notes Canadian analyst Tom Slee.

The contributing editor with Internet Wealth Builder explains, "Here's a look at my newest recommendation, Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), as well as my long-time favorite, Canadian National Railway (CNI).

"Last year the six major carriers posted a 45% average growth in earnings as they booked increased volumes and increased rates.

If you viewed the summer dip in Canadian National Railway (CNI), which I first wrote about on July 30, 2009 at a price of $47.95, as a chance to scoop-up shares, you made the correct move, as CNI has since accelerated to move above $64.

CNI remains one of the best-run railroads, bolstered by rigorous cost controls. Look for Canadian National's 2010 revenue to jump 18-25% and 5-8% in 2011, as both goods shipment and commodity transport recover; margins will likely increase this year, as well. Volumes also should rise at a double-digit rate in 2010.

Canada stocks and Canadian investments are coming into favor, as the specter of inflation rears its ugly head and the fate of the recovery is anything but certain. That's because Canada's financial system is stable, it is rich with natural resources, and it can keep plugging along even if consumers don't open up their wallets again anytime soon.That means Canadian stocks could be big in 2011.

The shares of Canadian National Railway (CNI), first discussed on July 30, 2009 at a price of $47.95, have pulled-back roughly in-sync with the Dow's recent retreat, but just look on that dip as an extended opportunity to scoop-up shares of a quality railroad. Here's why:

As noted earlier, look for the rails to play a pivotal role in both containerized and commodity transport, moving forward, with a cost advantage over trucking, particularly if oil's price remains elevated. And with oil trading in a $70-80 range, oil's price qualifies as elevated, no question.

"One of the first things I learned in this business was to keep an eye on the Dow Jones Transportation Index. Often referred to as the 'Canary in the Coalmine', it's one of the few worthwhile market indicators," suggests Tom Slee.

The contributing analyst with Internet Wealth Builder explains, "An upward movement in the Dow Industrials is only sustainable if confirmed by the Transports. As traders say, one 'makes', one 'takes'. Further, the Transports have led every major rally since 2004. So with our canary alive and well, I remain very encouraged."

The rails will play a pivotal role in both containerized and commodity transport, moving forward, with a cost advantage over trucking, particularly if oil prices remain elevated. But will oil prices moderate in 2010? As they say in The Bronx, N.Y. 'Good luck waiting for that one to happen!' And that's a big reason I'm reiterating my buy rating for Canadian National Railway (CNI), first recommended on July 30, 2009 at a price of $47.95.

Canadian National Railway's (NYSE: CNI) stock has already climbed a lot, but it's still a bargain. Here's why:

CNI is, arguably, one of the world's most efficient railroads: Demonstrated cost controls, plus repeated increases in efficiency offer a "track record" that's hard to beat. The First Call FY2009/FY2010 EPS estimates for CNI are $2.91 to $3.36.

Analyst upgrades:
  • Credit Suisse upgraded shares of Novartis (NYSE: NVS) to Neutral from Underperform as they believe the stock's defensive characteristics justify a premium valuation.

  • Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC) was raised to Buy from Hold at Stanford on valuation.
  • Goldman upgraded Smurfit-Stone (NASDAQ: SSCC) and Canadian National (NYSE: CNI) to Buy from Neutral and added International Paper (NYSE: IP) to the Conviction Buy List.
  • Northern Trust (NASDAQ: NTRS) was upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Merrill.
Analyst downgrades:
  • Jefferies downgraded shares of Savvis (NASDAQ: SVVS) to Hold from Buy and lowered the target to $17 from $20 to reflect decreasing visibility from economic headwinds and expectations for increased capex.
  • Citigroup downgraded Regions Financial (NYSE: RF) to Sell from Hold as they believe fundamentals are not in-line with the current valuation following the recent rally.
  • Merrill lowered their General Electric (NYSE: GE) estimates below consensus and downgraded shares to Neutral from Buy citing increased fundamental pressures on the company's GE Capital unit. GE's target was cut to $28 from $37.50.
