Monsanto Company (MON)

CAPS Rating:
****

A global provider of agricultural products for farmers.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

MON has been in every fund manager's portfolio for good reason, but fund managers are inherently ignorant of natural market movements, so caution needs to be observed. MON has strength at the $100.11 level or slightly below...3 points below to be exact. You can take a position there with relative li...More

A great way to aid in tha destruction of our environment is to support these monsters. Back in 1987, the first genetically modified organism (GMO) to be released into the environment was Pseudomonas Syringea. This tiny bacterium was responsible for frost formation on strawberry plants. Well these br...More

One word: Ethanol. I haven't owned this as long as I have owned Ricks, but have held it several years. It is up 335% in that time. That almost four and a half fold return on investment means my dividend yield is almost 2.5% compared to the current yield of .57%. I didn't even know it was an ethanol play until about two years ago. Back in 2003 I bought the top nine chemical companies by revenues. This is one of two I have left. All of the others except for one were sold at a profit when energy prices started going up. The other one I still have is Praxair.

Food prices will rise. Anti-GM food histeria seems to weaken. Monsanto has very strong R&D and in a great position to reap benefits from it.

Monsanto is involved in the agriculture industry and there seems to be no end in sight for the growth these companys are experiencing.


Ethanol and exports to china and other developing countrys are growing and will continue to grow as the population grows. mon had sales lat quarter of 3.7 billion dollars and had net income of over a billion dollars. This company is a minster and nothing stands in their way!
