  • These 3 Stocks are 'Magical' Values

    By Adem Tahiri - May 23, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CF, DHX

    Investors like a good deal. The problem is, most of us wouldn't know a bargain if it hit us in the face.

    At least that's what hedge fund manager and value investing icon Joel Greenblatt says. In a series of books and lectures Greenblatt has touted his "magic formula" for stock picking. Greenblatt argues that by following the simple formula we can take the guess work out of more »

  • A Good Company With Great Growth Prospects

    By Piyush Arora - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, MON

    Agriculture is one of the oldest industries in the world and is considered to be one of the most consistent and stable sectors, yielding steady returns over time. Last year’s drought in the U.S wreaked havoc on its crop yields, which led to the stellar financial performance of most agricultural companies. The weatherman is predicting that the dry spell isn’t over yet, which suggests that agriculture companies more »

  • How to Dig Out the Real Meat From an Earnings Report

    By Neha Chamaria - May 5, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, POT, MOS

    PotashCorp’s (NYSE: POT) first-quarter report was a pleasant surprise. Revenue as well as profits inched up on strong domestic demand for nutrients. It refueled the market’s interest in the stock – It has already gained more than 3% in less than a week since the earnings announcement.

    Was everything really so good about PotashCorp’s numbers? Not quite. Ironically, investors of rival companies must feel greater excitement after PotashCorp more »

  • This Stock Could Move Big Over the Next Few Days

    By Neha Chamaria - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: CF, UAN, POT, MOS

    Mr. Market has pounded CF Industries’ (NYSE: CF) stock so hard that it has lost 20% value in just three months’ time. Seeing no real reason behind the bloodbath, I urged investors to start pumping money into the stock three weeks back. Those who paid heed are already in the green. Those who didn't still have a chance. But this is the last call, because CF could be just more »

  • Pointing at Agriculture

    By Victor K. - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: CF, MON, POT

    Some well known investors, including Jim Rogers, George Soros, Marc Faber, and Jeremy Grantham, have been pointing out the opportunities they see in agriculture.  As intelligent as these gurus are, it doesn't take genius to understand what they're getting at. 

    Population

    Consider the world population.   As early as the 1800s, scholars like Thomas Malthus were already writing about how population growth would outpace the world's ability to more »

  • 1 Stock to Buy Before Earnings

    By Neha Chamaria - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: CF, UAN, RNF, TNH

    Among the fertilizer companies about to announce their quarterly reports, one I am particularly looking forward to hearing about is CVR Partners (NYSE: UAN). The stock started the year with a bang, but is deep in the red now. After rising more than 10% in the first three weeks of January alone, CVR's shares gave up 14% gains in the past three months.

    Macro concerns have hit the fertilizer more »

  • Buy Into This Golden Opportunity Before It Slips Away!

    By Neha Chamaria - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: CF, MON, POT, RNF, MOS

    CF Industries’ (NYSE: CF) shares have lost 17% value in the past three months. I can sense only one reason behind the bloodbath – rising natural gas prices. Gas prices are sitting pretty at a 20-month high currently. Why should CF investors worry? Well, natural gas is also the key input for nitrogen nutrient which in turn is CF’s bread and butter. Naturally, rising input costs can never be good more »

  • It's Time To Buy This Seasonal Stock

    By Piyush Arora - April 6, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, POT, MOS

    If a drought destroys fortunes, it also builds fortunes. Last year’s drought wreaked havoc on crop yields in the U.S., after which crop prices skyrocketed. This year is turning out no differently, and weather experts predict that the dry spell could extend until summer. According to the U.S. drought monitor, recent showers have reduced the drought impact in certain states, but conditions have intensified in the central more »

  • Are You Aware of the Big Risks Associated With This Stock?

    By Neha Chamaria - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: CF, UAN, RNF, TNH

    Numbers that missed the Street estimates, earnings projections that failed to inspire, and dividend guidance that stumped investors – Is the tide turning against Rentech Nitrogen (NYSE: RNF)? Investors cheered when the fertilizer maker’s stock crossed the $49 mark in early February. The euphoria didn't last long – The stock has lost 27% since then.

    By Neha Chamaria - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, UAN, POT, RNF

    Sometimes it pays to just pay attention to the boring things in life. Think health food. Think farming. Or think of stuff that’s behind those corn fritters and tortillas on your plate. Unexciting as they may sound, but if it weren't  for fertilizers, you would hardly get to eat anything!

    So as a prudent investor, you should start weighing fertilizer stocks as well if you still haven’t more »

  • Is Potash Set to Grow With Global Agriculture?

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, MON, POT, MOS

    The world population continues to grow, which increases the demand for agricultural products; income per person, particularly in less developed countries, also continues to grow, which should increase demand for meat (which is more agriculturally intensive since livestock must be fed agricultural products in turn). As a result, many macro investors are bullish on farmland, agriculture, and related investments. Potash (NYSE: POT), a $34 billion market cap manufacturer of fertilizers more »
