  • Lots of Potential, Both Positive And Negative

    By Matthew Frankel - June 12, 2013 | Tickers: MON, POT, SYT

    Generally speaking, I believe that uncertainties in the market are one of the best creators of investment opportunities. For example, the market was uncertain of the effects of Green Mountain Coffee’s K-Cup patents expiring, and this allowed investors to scoop up shares for around $17, or 78% less than the current price, just months later. Another example of this is Monsanto (NYSE: MON) who are being hit by a more »

  • Why You Should Invest in the Leaders of the Agriculture Industry

    By Damian Illia - June 11, 2013 | Tickers: IPI, MON, SYT

    World population growth is putting an ever increasing stress on food producers. The situation is aggravated by irregular rain patterns and soil degradation. In order to meet the rising demand, since the 1960’s, farmers have turned to genetically modified seeds, pesticides, and nutrients.

  • The Two Sides of the GMO Debate

    By Leo Sun - May 30, 2013 | Tickers: DD, MON, SYT | Editor's Choice

    Last week, over 2 million protesters in 436 cities across 52 countries rallied against agricultural giant Monsanto (NYSE: MON) and genetically modified crops. While I haven’t been a big fan of some of Monsanto’s business practices, as I have outlined in the past, I believe that these protests have sent the wrong message regarding GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and the genetically modified seeds industry in general.
