* Momentum - Terra Industries' (TRA) first-quarter results were unbelievable, with net income jumping to over $100 million. Amazingly, the stock still looks undervalued.

I have been hounding on the impact gas prices would have on companies like Terra Industry. Terra Industry recently said that Natural Gas Prices won't impact margins THIS QUARTER, but if fertilizer prices don't rise next quarter will see a squeeze.

The truth is Terra Industry bought 28% of it's gas on the futures market. 28% of ther gas needs were bought under $8. This was ment to meet the purchase of fertilizer that was secured by farmers for the spring.

<> Next Quarter will be a wild ride. Gas is not just rising a few pennies from this quarter. For most of this quarter gas was purc...

The trade report is out. Just as expected with the USA paying 3 times more for natural gas, the USA cannot compete with the world when it comes to fertilizer sales.

Imports of fertilizer iINCREASED by $98 million last month

Exports of fertilizer DECREASED by  $9 million last month

The industry is getting squeezed on both ends. When 90% of the cost to produce fertilizer is 3 times cheaper in many parts of the world this is what is expected. NET SSALES IN 2009 will SLIDE inot the tolitio. By 2010 the industry may very will be dead!!!!

Can the Terra Board Afford Not to Accept Sweetened CF Bid?
<>Last week,CF Industries (CF) upped its bid for Terra Industries (TRA) from its prior bid of 0.4129 to 0.4539 shares to 0.465 CF shares. The deal currently values TRA at nearly $39 share (.465 x $83 CF share) or 30% above its Friday closing price of $29.91. How could the Terra Board of Directors turn down such a sweet offer?
