    This ongoing blog series amazes me.For those of you so against investing in fertilizers, I think that you should at least know what it is you are so against. I don't know of any fertilizers produced from oil,although obviously high oil prices have a negative effect on the whole industry.Nitrogen,&quo... an element, which makes up about 80% of that stuff you breathe now what's that called? gets processed from natural gas. Potash is called potassium chloride "KCL"- that's a compound. The "K" stands for Kalium. That's German for Potassium,also an element.The word Kalium comes from the word Alkali which comes from Arabic "Al Kali" which means "The Plant." It refers to what's left over after you burn plants and trees.That grey stuff that's left after YOU SMOKE YOUR POT is mostly Potassium.The Dutch call it "Potasche" - the stuff left in the pot under your woodstove.If you piss on the ground, stinging nettles will soon grow there,because they thrive on Potash. In this case, it comes from the plants you eat, which need Potash to grow. Do you get it? Potash is a naturally occurring mineral. Phosphates are also naturally occurring minerals. They are found in limestone formations which consist of Calcium,an element,carbon,an element,and phosphorous,also an element. Do I need to say that all elements are also naturally occurring? Phosphates are limestone rock laced with Phosphorous, nothing more.To process Phosphates you need Sulfuric Acid. Are you guys also "Acid Heads"? It certainly seems like that. You might consider thinking about it. There are also three other minor fertilizers - Calcium,Sulfur,and Magnesium-all elements. It's all so elemental. Sulfur shows up in SOP,Sulfate of Potash,as oppossed to MOP,muriate of Potash or KCL.Back to the beginning. Reply

    Are Dividend Growth Investors Idiots? [view article]
    Your portfolio or asset mix all depends on where you stand in life. If you are retired and your dividend checks are more than covering your cost of living (plus FEDlation) then you really are not missing much. With the market in it's current phase you are looking pretty smart. At some point you realize that life is more about how you spend your time than adding to the pile. Once your children are educated or maybe even funded you should try to find some enjoyment before your ticket gets punched and the big boss calls you to your final meeting. Some even believe that you should spend time helping those that have drawn bad cards (karma ect). When I was a younger man I viewed life as a war of survival. As time goes on these ideas still linger but my mind opens a bit more everday to the concept of walking instead of running. If your not careful money will become your master instead of your servant.

    Chem Eng fair enough, I too learned how to make fertilizer in freshman chemistry. But I am sure you realize there are many ways to make fertilizer. As far as the nitrogen required, this usually comes from natural gas. Any way you look at it, making fertilizer consumers an enormous amount of energy. Whether one uses oil or natural gas does not matter. What matters is that rising oil prices are leading to soaring costs of fertilizer. Reply

    hi Lynn, I just wanted to point out what Peter Lynch and Warren B. reminded investors in the past. If you can't watch your stock fallling 50% of the value and have to sell it, then you can't be a investor in stocks. If you hold a quality company and the stock drops in price without serious flaws in business fundamentals then you should hold on to the stock regardless price drop. Otherwise you will continue to lose your capital. If you look at most high quality stocks that kept going up in the past in the long term, most of them fluctuate about 50% from year's highest to year's lowest price. If you decide to sell because it dropped 8%, you are just going to lose your capital on a really good stock, assuming you did your homework in picking strong business fundamentals. Reply

    Man i just bought another 800 shares at 65.....alreadly adding to my core position. There is no sign that this company is slowing down.

    TraderMark, you were right this is the HOTTST IPO for 2008 and the market cap will likely reach 20Bill in 3-4 years. Man i am sooo pumped up right now.     Reply

    Lynn....you might want to see what the historical trading range is for the stock, rather than relying on a purely arbitrary number.

    i read the post on yahoo fiance blogg. Its a good post kind of far fetched though. I am a bit conservative and say it will likely hit 90-100 by end of the year. Reply

    Why can't you invest in both dividend growers and growth stocks? Maybe 80 percent of the portfolio in dividend growers and 20 percent in non-dividend paying growth stocks. Reply

    Thanks tradermark,
    If the dollar continues downward, prices would increase even more.

    Guys what do you think of a fertilizer cartel.Can this happen?
    I also read somewhere that IPI has the technology to do horizontal drilling which might give it an advantage over the others.Also to be fair nitrate producers benefit more from floods because it is more soluble and washes away easier.Finally the only serious commodity pullback would have to be a result of food supply increases relative to demand and this must be some way off.

    In my IRA account I load up on dividend paying stocks but I don't believe in sitting indefinitely if stock is going down. I normally tolerate an 8% loss in a non-IRA but haven't figured out what my bottom should be if dividend stock goes down and down. Anyone have a suggestion? Reply
