A real company, selling cheaply at 0.55 times sales with a forward PE of 12, that's been excessively beaten down on the basis of a pullback in public sentiment on ethanol. This is a safe way to ride the biodiesel and ethanol markets, getting the ben...

ADM is not an ethanol company, like the street seems to think. Only ~10% of revenues and earnings are ethanol. Government policy with mandates for increased usage of ethanol, subsidies for ethanol blending, and tariffs for Brazilian ethanol have he...

Simply undervalued. Continues to show consistent improvement in ROIC, with incremental ROIC even higher. A core ethanol holding in my opinion, particularly should it focus on converting diversified inputs into ethanol as opposed to simply corn.

Good buzz good fundamentals recent uptrend = 3-5 months outperform. Oh, and they are also a good, solid, stable company, and they ARE going to profit from fuels in the future, because we ARE going to be running on either ethanol, biodiesel, or b...

So much money is flowing into corn-based ethanol (our tax dollars as farm subsidies) and ADM will benefit. Well connected in Congress. I remember Bob Dole was once described as the Senator for ADM. Will go up but not necessarily for the right reasons...

ADM is a great play into the Ethanol - Alternate feuls market, as well as a fine seed and graing producer. ADM will further benefit from a low US dollar int terms of exports. Crude oil needs an alternate and this industry is still young, i beleive AD...

The demand for ethanol is increasing, and the need for alternate fuels has been witnessed throughout the country. I believe ADM is well-positioned to supply ethanol over the next year or two.

It is pretty clear that ethanol use and production is on the rise, and ADM is at the top of the heap when it comes to ethanol. It's possible that by the time cellulose ethanol is perfected by other companies, it will be too late.........as other alt...

Seems destined to eventually catch fire. With new legislation being passed making manufacturers raise gas mileage standards, and the price of oil probably never going south again, this seems like a long term investment.

OPEC cuts, Oil per barrel goes up. Bad weather increases because of global warming causing less supply and constant demand. Arab countries no longer fear oil price inflation. All this adds to the likelyhood of ethenol as an alternative, i.e. as lo...
