Look into what happened at Etrade. Analyst Bhatia gives it the kiss of death, but turns out his company was buying it all along. Whay kind of analyst puts a rating on something without a real earnings report? Read Manipulation. That's fine because I just got in at 46 after waiting to see where the soft bottom would be.

IPI valuation

I am a newly Long for IPI because I see the attractive market cap (only ~3 bil). I missed MA IPO 2 years ago with similar valuation (large company with small market cap at IPO) and it ends up a big miss for me. Not saying IPI would have the same run as MA as it is a different brand and business, but 3 bil of market cap is probably too small for this company, compare to 60 bil for POT and MOS.

Somebody backlash Soleil. Farmers just got veto proof legislation to back them up. is anyone going to hurt those rich corn farmers? by the way corn production is down 7%. Do you want to hurt Mr. Mcdonald...He needs more pot to grow more corn ! How about switch grass. Wont happen that fast. Anyway, probably need fertilizer for that too !
