Yes, that’s it. One of my favorite Blogs ValueAndOpportunity posted about it and bought it a while ago. I did not buy at that time but checked the results and like what I saw.

 

Welcome to CoBF !

 

 

Thank you for the elaboration, @Spekulatius .

Me too - there is nothing like adding a bit to an initial position being in the hole.

I don't have a specific valuation, it's more that I feel that this is a fair multiple for the combined CP/KSU business if they're able to execute on their synergies/revenue growth/margin improvement goals set out at the investor day. Management is projecting mid double digit EPS growth through 2028. I'm not backing up the truck yet, but I've sniffed around the railroads for years and always end up missing good entry points waiting for a better valuation. 

 

I also think that CP has been selling off on some idea that the Trump Trade is bad for trade with Mexico. I just don't buy that argument at all, I think onshoring will lead to more trade with Mexico and Canada than ever before. 

 

Right now I've been recycling some gains inside my tax deferred accounts and dabbling in a few different ideas as I get more comfortable with them. This is usually my strategy, but I'm trying to diversify away from my favorite subsector (the alternative asset managers) since I've seen what happens to them in choppy markets and it's not pretty. 

what do you think of CG ...Still under priced compared to the other asset managers

I don't want to slander CG, and I need to revisit the idea to give it a fair shake. However, I developed an opinion that CG is something of a perennial underperformer in terms of AUM growth and with a greater component of carried interest than its competitors. 

 

This opinion was developed several years back, and I think that proved out to be true over a number of years, but I haven't done a deep dive since 2019 or 2020. 

 

I also decided to exit brookfield and focus more on OWL/KKR/APO/BX. I need to revisit Brookfield and CG again, possibly BAM. 

 

I just have a feeling we might be seeing some significant equity market volatility next year, and I'd like to use this as a position of strength to jump back into my favorites. I am continuing to hold big positions in OWL and APO, but don't feel like they're at super attractive entry points. Yet I wrote that about APO when I started the topic (that it wasn't a great entry point) and it's over doubled since then. I need to stop trading so much, I'm sure it's hurting my returns.

added pax

I think this is one to watch. it’s probably impacted by the malaise in South America with Brazil, and Mexican equity markets going down the tubes.

[Spekulatius]
