CP is my 3rd largest holding behind LIN and MSFT. I actually added more today. 12 more shares and it takes over as my #2 holding!

UNP, NSC, and CNI

If you bought a couple shares a month for the past 150 years you are rich now.  Not sure any individual rail has a moat but the sector sure does for the rest of our lives.  Nothing will disrupt them as barges are confined to defined waterways.  Trains will not be replaced.

I think I was seeing a yahoo glitch yesterday.  Its chart looks normal (and good) today.

CP lost the bidding war with CN so they will not expand for now. It will settle out now.


I wanted to circle back and see what happened with CP.  Now I'm more confused than ever.  Yahoo chart looks fine, but I found this article from just a few days ago: https://via.news/markets/canadian-pacific-railway-cp-stock-over-78-down-in-the-last-30-days/

"Shares of Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) dropped by a staggering 78.11% in 30 days from $374.19 to $81.91 at 20:41 EST on Tuesday, after four sequential sessions in a row of gains. NYSE Composite (CP) is dropping 0.45% to $16,390.19, after three consecutive sessions in a row of gains."

But now the yahoo chart shows a steady upwards progression, with 52 week range being "48.61 - 83.07".  And certainly if CP had dropped like that, it would have had a catastrophic effect on my TPOR etf and nothing of the kind happened.

Is this a stock split that simply confused a news outlet?

5:1 stock split on May 14th.  Bad reporting.
