It is done! Hey Ive been listening. I just been a day late and a dollar short. Just have to readjust my thinking for todays day and times.
Well, least you showing up lol
ADM is another AG play i have my eyes on, its more in the FOOD side, I think It has good upside...Say June Calls
Stock is at 48.00, June 50s/55s.....
Got to play the world issues/oil/energy/ag/food/China&India
Finding Rice/Grian plays is a daunting task, I have to dig hard, but I'll see what's out there.
CAGC has done well since i dropped 2.4 to 2.9
another good upside there, HOGS as well

DUDe...relax,,,
pull out,,,,chill 1st day of an IPO you get lucky enough to snag some shares & you're looking for an exit, you got POT/CF/TRA earnings in 2 days & you looking to bail already,,,,man,,slow down watch your gains multiply,,,relax IPI is a great pick up, not knockin you , but strategy!!! if selling is what you prefer tho, hey you got a 5.00 gain
im in @ 48.98 10 shares I'm pulling at least 50% of it out @ 55.00 but I have a 10 and out strategy. I might be wrong but you gotta know what you want to do with a stock before you ever get it?
Add also CALM to your watch lists, should have mentioned it previously but must have slipped..heard of Eggland's Best?Farmhouse Eggs? Well BOTH are CALM products....
IPI nothing short of spectacular today..weak day on the broad markets. Apple looking shaky into earnings..but king POT stands alone alone....
$214.65

CNOA/CAGC all up nicely...TITN pulled back as did DE..TGB nice move up today...

ok so let me ask you this. If it hits 30% say in 30 days how will you handle that? Pull out all or any? anyone else weight in on that as well so i can get those ideas
Your major AG stocks have returned if you check that above link in my last post on average in excess of 100% over the last 12mos & about 40% on average over the last 6. This is not a issue of when to get out it's a matter of when the AG dynamics changes, the AG story is NOT going away anytime soon, countries are realizing that fact that with grain prices high they can restart industries in AG start grwoing crops in rotations as a means of exploit of these prices, ALL farmers realize for every dollar thay may spend on fertilizer they may be able to resell a a 25-50% profit mark. Look, TITN IPO'd a few months back an AG play..it is more machinery & retail bt still merits comparison
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=TITN&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p36854825345
IPI is going to return in excess of 30% in a quick time, you just have to stick around for it, and watch if they revenue groowth is going to reward that. AGs are the new techs with heavy need for what they produce...
POT will see $300, ot it may split & split adjusted it WILL see $300. Stick with AGs over the next few years & I'm telling you you will be rewarded....In 2005 CF IPO'd at $15.oo now $150...
TITN IPO'd I belive at $8, now $22, This is strongest sector out there/ride the bull/make your money...only question is HOW MUCH!!!
I will stay in until there is a downturn in that market which is highly unlikely. I expect IPI to mirror POT's succcess. The 30% is just my the point where any more profit is just "extra' to me.
What do you guys think or this IPO? PSE, it's an oil and energy stock

Thanks, I'll watch CALM.
Damn, I wish I had been fucking with AG stocks like you guys instead of wasting time with Airlines. I did okay with Delta and I got out on time though
Ok, okay,,lets not get it twisted,,,IPI will not be the next POT. POT is a rare company, one that has price fixing power. You see, POT can bring on mines & then set the price where they feel fit. They can control supply, they produce i believe 25-28% of the world's POtash, IPI is roughly 1%, POT is a worldwide seller with heavy influence in Asia. IPI is primarily generating revenues from the US. Potash Co's are rare, IPI is a good one, you'll do fine,,,but realize the power of POT. POT/MOS&AGU essentially form an oligoply on Potash..controling supply &price...imagine that power!!!, POT is at this time one of the markets finest companies, & with conditions heading the way they are,,,they will do even better....will be a good conference call come Thurday....I'm thinking POT may see $230-$240...the other AGs will try to keep up..lol.

AGs/Energy/Oil/Alternate Energy/Food/Metals/Resources.
Stray too far from those,,,& man,,good luck..market ain been kind to alot of sectors...small caps in the wrong sectors have been beat up/today's losses may turn to tommorow's opportunities...
Airlines we're great short & put plays...so on either side man u can beat them, great thing about the market is you can make loot as they fall as well
This is when the hard part of investing or trading starts. When is the right time to get out is the toughest thing to figure out at times. When you get in the trade you should have some form of target and you should have some idea of how much of a loss you are willing to take if the position moves against you. The most important one is how much loss you are willing to take. After you have decided that it will help you decide how long you might be willing to stick with the play.
I am sitting on some Chinese IPO stocks that I wish I had done what I am telling you now
If when you got in the stock your target was to make $5 for that day or week or whatever time frame you had then you can get out if you are satisfied or you can set a stop loss to guarantee that you don't lose all your profits.
If you are playing the stock because you are playing a trend then you stick with the play. Set your stop loss at the amount you can stand loosing and stay with the news on the company, competitors, sector, economy and anything that will affect the bottom line or make the sector not so sexy anymore. There will be a day when it wont be so sexy. Kinda like gold is now. Kinda like solar is now. Kinda like what knocked GOOG down to 450s. Kinda like what knocked the miners down. The refiners. etc.
ahhhhhhhhh, a lil scare to start off the day...nothing to worry about IPI showing great strength..
Just wanted to reinterate some of the ones to keep watch on:
ADM/CALM/CNOA/CAGC/TITN/GENC/HOGS/GEOI/
prior post likely have info on them in more details. CALM is moving up nicely, expect it to retouch 40 in the near term. TITn has earnings on 4/28. Tommorow 3 AGs drop #s/POT/TRA/CF

yes IPI is doing good I want some pot but shiiiit lol I can get what 3 shares lol but for me its about the % so i might do it
Agies took a beating today, so did OILs, but OIL prices were higher, just soem weakness in the TSX where most of these AG & Energy stocks are based on. Story hasn't changed POT finally went red, 14 od 15 sessions prior were in GREEN, earnings drop & conference tommorow on POT/CF/TRA. Those of you that picked up some, I'll drop a lil story, 1st entry into POT was at 147, in a day(the next day) it touched a low of 105...2 weeks later it touched 160, sometimes there is strange volatility, don't let fear take you, If you've studied the stock you're in you have enough to dispell fear...have confidence in that which you invested in,,,& stay up on your co's.
Good advice for dude. Stick in there a minute. See what happens. There is a lot of press in financial circles around this stock. I'm looking for $70-75, before I take some off the top. Good long term play.
How about energy: Seriously looking into the Russian companies such as GAZPROM or alminum companies such as MITTAL
calm made some nice gains 
cause i didnt get it YET!
cause i didnt get it YET!
Way to go POT!!!
PotashCorp's First-Quarter Earnings 50 Percent Higher Than Previous Record
This should help IPI's stock performance too
The killed earnings & guided significantly higher for the year...it'll be interesting what happens here to the stock...look slike they want to hold it down a bit, could be letting shorts cover, could just be market absurdity...but we'll see..
as for CALM,,still a good pick, 40 is where it needs to be, then it's up & away
Oh Shit did I speak too soon. They have earnings like this and the stocks are spiraling down
It's crazy....great earnings drop out of 3 AG players all guiding hihger..& this is the result...
quite troubling
POT & MOS...im just watching from the sidelines. But its very exciting! Still got AGU. TITN is just about where I was hoping it get to again. Id say im back in around $18 or wish I got some at $19. Some big head on CNBC predicts gas at the pump $7pg by 2012...ouch there goes any raises & bonuses.

Volume is very high on POT and MOS.
A lot of profit taking.
Remember, sell on financial reports and buy on news/speculation.
As I always say, in this period of time we are in, do NOT fall in love with the stock, fall in love with the profit and act accordingly (take some off the table).
All the best.
hummmm not the first time i heard that. Everyone else agree?
It's a good rule if you're speculating but I don't know about that if you're investing.
ah ok ok i follow that a lot better and that makes alot of sense
