I have been waiting (patiently?) for CNR.TO to come down to a reasonable level (200ema on weekly ~ 140?) and maybe it is finally going to get there. I wonder what this says about the economy since rails are a major indicator of the state of the Canadian economy (aside from housing). And this contradicts the strength of energy stocks, which are also considered economically very important.
Luckily, the charts tell it all and a person doesn’t have to be an economist or try to make logical sense of what is happening! LOL!

Here is a daily chart of CNR.to. Same thing. A Descending triangle which is very bearish. Also the Seasonal trend chart shows Sept as one of the worst months of the year. Both August and September are bearish comparatively.
