Me neither, but agriculture can be great business. Especially the fertilizer side of it.

Sold MOS and MON at about 120. Still kicking myself for that. Made 20% each, so I guess I can't complain, but it's disheartening to see it this high haha

For those who want to learn a little about Intrepid and what it does, and just why the fertilizer sector is doing so hot right now (global food shortage basically) –
http://seekingalpha.com/article/7299...c?source=yahoo

And

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080421/intre...ight.html?.v=1

The revised IPO price, given how much demand there is for the stock is going to be at approx. $32 I think.

Please don't mention Google. It hurst.

My dad talked me out of buying the IPO. I would have made a good chunk of change.

[vinlikesred]

[jlspeed29]

hey guys...whats up with Visa? they have been charging ahead pretty good lately...thinking about buying more...do you think a pullback will be coming?

Defintely coming, question is when. If you look at all the news and guidance, none will support a long term bull market. There should be one more interest rate cut coming thursday which will drive the market slighty higher, after that any bad news will start the bear trend. Market sentiment is important too and with interest rate cut, commondity will go higher and create more pressure on the overall market.

They just reported earning, one thing to consider is that V is good for long, however, the current price level is already priced in with good guidance and earning, hence higher PE overall compare to MA. This one is a toughie, IMHO I would wait to pick up after a pullback. If you look at their chart, it's been trending upward since IPO (in a bear market no less)
