Good call.I believe that agricultural commodities are on the verge of a breakout after consolidating for sometime.The Midwest floods would start having their effects soon enough.That would mean immense pressure on other areas to produce more and hence an increased demand for fertilizers.Why did you choose IPI over POT ?

The Price. Entry point for IPI I am betting to be $58 going up to maybe $90-$100 in the next few months. If you are willing to hold. POT is at $236. Even if the entry point is at $200, IPI has more certainty for a greater return.
