CF Industries, Agrium Deal Offers Investors Two Potentially Profitable Plays

This isn't particularly useful advice.

Either buy CF and hope the deal goes through or (as I suspect), or not buy the CF shares because the deal will not go through.

Is there any further insight the author would like to profer on this subject?

My feeling has been all along that Agrium did not understand CF is an "ol boy" company created by its shareholders (CHS, Growmark, Agriliance, Conagra). These companies are CF's biggest customers. Some of them are still on the Board.
The Board must approve any bid for the stock.

You can figure out the rest.
