Graphic_rating_buy MA   MasterCard: Driven by Global Growth 09/04/08   —  The market saw a major change yesterday. The eight dollar pull back in the price of oil looks to have at least set its price to trade between the $100 and $110 mark. This is only speculation as a new trading pattern has not established itself. If we were to listen to many of the energ...

CCJ   Graphic_rating_buy DNN   A Nuclear Growth Opportunity with Denison Mines 08/26/08   —  In a very short period of time, we have seen the spot price of uranium drop by over 50% after massive speculation had pushed the price up. There was a time when uranium producers could barely make a profit, as only those companies with high grade uranium could sell for a profit. Uranium producers wer...

MON   Graphic_rating_buy POT   Potash Corp. Earnings Shouldn't Peak Until at Least 2011 08/25/08   —  When looking at Potash Corp.'s (POT) value as a publicly traded company, I think that many are missing why they are much more valuable then their current valuation. Many believe that the fertilizer stocks have been driven up just like many of the commodity stocks. Commodity stocks have had a run as...

Graphic_rating_buy RIG   Transocean: Drilling Deep for Profits 08/20/08   —  With the pullback in oil, many of the oil service companies have seen a dramatic decline. This is strange as many are not linked directly to the commodity itself and still have very nice looking futures ahead. The best looking of the bunch seems to be Transocean (RIG). They not only have a monopoly i...

Graphic_rating_buy ESRX   Express Scripts Continues to Offer Investors Express Growth 08/18/08   —  With all the talk of the crash of commodities and resurgence of the US dollar, it is easy to forget key growth companies that have held up well in this volatile environment. As investors flood into many of the financials, it has been easy to forget some of the new healthcare companies.Healthcare cha...

Graphic_rating_buy DE   CNH   Deere Runs with Worldwide Sales 08/15/08   —  With the economy going up and down, it has made many investors wary of making investments with respect to the long term. Even though the market has suffered, there are still a few good plays. Many areas are in long term bull markets that, in my opinion, are just taking a breather and ...

Graphic_rating_buy AG   AGCO: Combines May Be The Story in 2008 07/22/08   —  Sometimes Wall Street gets ahead of itself, and sometimes it doesn't. The current market looks as if the financials are making a huge turnaround and many commodity stocks are pulling back, even in the face of estimates being raised for the year. I believe that we made a huge step with re...

GE   Graphic_rating_sell C   Citi's in for More Pain 07/14/08   —  Many of the largest publicly held companies have seen their stock prices take a nose dive. The problems with the massive depreciation is after a stock is down that amount, many average investors start to dive in. This reminds me of a time when Tyco had lost over half of its value. A large corporation...

Graphic_rating_buy CNH   Street Underestimating Ag. Equipment Maker CNH Global's Forward Earnings 07/13/08   —  My favorite company within the agricultural equipment industry is Amsterdam-based CNH Global (CNH). CNH has seen its stock price cut in half since it peaked on January 3rd. Although it has broad exposure to construction equipment, the company is seeing massive demand for its high priced a...

Graphic_rating_buy BOLT   Bolt Technology: Charged for Growth 07/08/08   —  I made a call on Bolt Technology (BOLT) on theupdown.com 126 days ago. Since then it is up 23.46%. BOLT was one of last year's most exciting stocks. Their expertise in geophysical products is what drives their business. I believe this stock will be bought with oil exploration and prod...

Graphic_rating_buy GDP   Goodrich Petroleum Well Positioned to Go For Shale 07/02/08   —  With natural gas prices lagging oil, it looks like the run is not over. The only thing that may hurt pricing will come from Europe, since they are ready to hike rates, possibly. Horizontal shale drill...

IPI   Graphic_rating_buy CHK   PXP Buys Into Haynesville Shale, Could Be a 'Great Deal' 07/02/08   —  The Haynesville Shale appears to be the next platform for stock growth. With so few options in this market for growth, without agricultural plays such as (POT) and (IPI), the energy market looks prime...

GMXR   HK   Penn Virginia Corp. Should Capitalize on the Haynesville Shale 07/01/08   —  Yesterday there was some interesting news with respect to the Haynesville Shale. Petrohawk (HK) stated that their first horizontal drill in that area was producing 16.8 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. I stated HK was a buy on theupdown.com 6 days ago and it is already up over 14%. Last Ma...

Graphic_rating_buy FLR   Fluor Corp.: A Great Energy Play 06/30/08   —  The engineering and construction companies had a great year in 2007, and the current environment is like that of the deep offshore drillers. They have large backlogs of work, and an environment that is very bullish for their businesses. Fluor Corp. (FLR) is the largest, and arguably the best one of t...

V   COF   Southwestern Energy: Outlook Provides Compelling Valuation 06/29/08   —  My current focus with respect to investing for at least the next year is in companies that search for and produce natural gas. My basis for this is not only that these companies have some transparency through hedging, but in my opinion natural gas is undervalued with respect to oil. I...

Graphic_rating_buy HK   Petrohawk: A Play on Appreciating Natural Gas Prices 06/25/08   —  Oil's current valuation is a slippery slope. No one knows when the price will come down. One side will argue the peak oil theory. The other side will tell you that speculators are to blame and the price run-up will be short-lived.The problem with the media is they are trying to sell y...

Graphic_rating_buy EOG   EOG Resources: Continue to Buy on Pullbacks 06/23/08   —  This past week seemed to be a bit of a snag for oil prices. Oil had been almost invulnerable from rhetoric used to slow increasing prices. We have OPEC saying speculators are the problem. We have our government stating we need more oil because we do not have enough supply. We even hav...

POT   CMP   American Vanguard: Strong Agricultural Prospects Should Help Overcome Debt 06/20/08   —  I love stocks that slip under the radar. Small companies many investors have not heard of, selling at a value. Even better, they may be positioned within sectors that are off and running, like agriculture.Those who have read my stuff know that I have been bullish on the fertilizer and see...

Graphic_rating_buy NOV   CVX   Offshore U.S. Drilling Proposals Bullish for National-Oilwell Varco 06/19/08   —  Congress has finally decided to consider what President Reagan had proposed in the 1980s. The opening of our coastline to oil drillers seems to be a great move in trying to keep the price of oil down. Not only will it do this but it will also help the United States with its deficit as we will import...

Graphic_rating_buy CMP   Compass Minerals Shares Continue to Point North 06/19/08   —  The fertilizer play is alive and well. On 3-2-08 I stumbled across a salt and specialty fertilizer stock, Compass Minerals International (CMP). Since my call on theupdown.com, the stock is up 44.35%. No one could have known that fertilizer would run this long, and when I found the stock it was under...
