PotashCorp (NYSE:POT)

We need to grow more food to feed the billions. Farmers need to increase yields. Hmmm let's see how about more plant food? Yah good idea.

saskatchewan company. Makes potash to grow things in which is a topical subject today.

Time to grow!! Too many people, how ever to feed???

World demand

Everybody loves POT. Essential for rice growth and everybody loves rice. Especially the biggest markets like China.

People gotta eat and the BHP acquisition may not be dead

Spring is on its way and farmers will be planting food crops.

I think that world need food to live, so you need a product that will help it just to that.

Even though fertilizer stocks have been hit in the past year, the fact that people around the world still need to eat is still a factor. This company is at the top of its industry and appears to have fewer headwinds than some of the others in its cohort.

The demand for potash is on the rise, and that is a trend that I think you can bet on. With increasing global population and a growing consumer class in developing countries, how can you not like the prospects for agribusiness? But investing in agribusiness is tricky, so I say keep it simple. Farmers are going to use fertilizer not matter what.

Timing is right, take advantage of the current valuation. Presently combatting depressed prices by decreasing production in the short-term; demand is going nowhere but up; expect prices (and the stock price) to move back up sooner than later...and likely later as well.

fertilizer needs are being undervalued

Fertilizer outlooks for next 5 years are increasing year after year, based on general UN estimates. As a major NA producer these guys have an advantage to the major US markets.

Making a fertilizer basket of stocks for a long term play on nutrient depletion in farmland (as Jared Diamond predicted in "Collapse"). They are decently valued with single digit P/Es and have adequate interest coverage. Risks are that war/depression reduce population growth, or cheap inputs (e.g. natural gas) create an excess of supply.

Hovering near 52 wk low....PB>4 and PE~17 a bit worrisome, but think this one has a little room to run.

Oversold. Will see agriculture growth in 2012.

Charts and technicals are ugly...so probably the time to buy! Limit orders under $39 for the real portfolio.

Potash prices will remain strong, production costs will remain low.

good and cheap company
