Boy do I smell profits coming out of Sioux City!! ... Or is that urea and methanol? ;-x Kidding aside, this is one of the leading growth companies in a leading growth industry - Ag Chemicals. YoY Growth is out the roof at 22,286%, perhaps a bit too high. Adjusted P/E is a reasonable 10.25. Price dipped a bit due to lowering of crude oil futures so I got in.

2 things:

1: Stock goes up 6 % and then down 6 % = Earnings Report Week. Happens frequently.
2: 3rd Quarter Earnings Expectations are more important right now. For whatever reason expectations PRIOR to the Conference Call are much less than expectations were for this quarter. So, how to play the stock will depend on the CC (I can't wait!) :-)

How about up 12% as was one time today? I was a little worried when I read the Seeking Alpha article, *after* I bought the stock yesterday (that figures). http://seekingalpha.com/article/86184-the-agriculture-boom-goes-bust?source=yahoo. But I only have a 3-6 month window on TRA so I'll be watching it's trend closely. Good tip on the Q3 earnings expectations too, I'll be vigilant of that as well.
