Terra Industries, Inc. (TRA)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a North American and U.K. producer and marketer of nitrogen products, serving agricultural and industrial markets.

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 members 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.

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.

Technical underperform call. First target 40. Next target 35. Plus ag stocks have only had bullish news, wait until there's one little bit of bearish news (like a resolution of the standoff between the govt and farmers in Argentina) - they'll take an even bigger hit.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
