Short term trade on oversold quality and outlook (I think people will stay home more due to the FUD and gardening demand will at least hold steady.

With people paying so much for groceries, I have to believe that the demand for growing your own at a lower cost will be appealing to consumers. With many Americans spending more time at home, the idea of adding a few plants or flower boxes to brighten up the place makes sense. I think this stock has been sold to the point of being overdone. Probably won't bounce until after the next earnings release, but I think there is more upside potential than downside -- especially at this price.

Long term play. Several fantastic brand names: Ortho, Roundup, Scotts, and Miracle-gro. 60% off of its 5-year high.

I see this stock following the rest of the chemical fertilizer sector this summer...higher highs and higher lows. A recession at home isn't going to stop people from beautifiing thier lawns...there is no way.

I've been using many of their products for years and it never occured to me that I might want to invest in Scotts.
Although pricey at the moment and a crap load of debt, I will keep an eye on this one.

Scotts Miracle Grow dominates the lawn and plant care business. Scotts lawn products, Ortho chemicals, RoundUp, Miracle Grow, are just a few of the brand names they own. I bought this stock in 1992, when my son was 4, to help fund his college education. If you want to be impressed, look at a 10-year chart on SMG. It may take some time and have a few corrections, but this company dominates its niche and is managed in superb fashion.

Every product in their line is known to anyone who owns a home and cares about taking care of their yard. Their products stay ahead of the generics, and their packaging always has new things to improve the use of the product.

leading market shares in all lawn and garden categories in which they compete. Competition is weak. Great brands (Scotts, Miracle-Gro and Ortho, Smith&Hawken).Solid management.

Read the article on this website by Ryan Fuhrmann about SMG, that says it all, and I whole-heartedly agree with the points that as baby-boomers look to more and more "hobby-time", sales of this for gardening will only increase as there is hardly any competition.
