The "Chart of the Day" is Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), which showed
up on Thursday's Barchart "All-Time High" list. Canadian Pacific posted
an all-time Thursday at $100.85 and closed up +2.76%. TrendSpotter has
been long since Oct 5 at $88.88. In recent news on the stock, Canadian
Pacific announced on Wednesday that it will eliminate 4,500 positions,
or about 23 percent of its workforce, by 2016. Canadian Pacific said the
reductions will be achieved through job cuts, attrition and fewer
contractors as part of its restructuring plan. Citi Investment Research
analyst Christian Wetherbee rated Canadian Pacific a "buy" and said that
investors should be upbeat that the company's plan is being driven by
the job eliminations and other actions, such as the closing of some
train yards. Canadian Pacific Railway, with a market cap of $16.2
billion, is North America's first transcontinental railway, Canada's
second-biggest railway and is the only transcontinental carrier with
direct service to the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.
